Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 745

Chapter 745 Three Months Left To Live

The next day, Tiffany was pushed into the operating room for the surgery. Amelia Winters and Derrick waited outside the operating room while Oscar was absent as he needed to handle some matters at the company.

Amelia Hutton made an effort to show up when it was an hour into the operation. “Hi, Derrick. We meet again,” she greeted Derrick courteously. Derrick nodded in her direction. It was a rather mild response.

“I heard from Amy that Tiffany was diagnosed with a septate uterus. I heard it’s harder for most people with this condition to get pregnant or that they would get a miscarriage after conceiving. Well, with you as her husband, I’m sure she will get pregnant easily and with twins at that. I bet they’ll be as good-looking as you.” All of a sudden, Amelia Hutton showered him with compliments.

At that, Derrick nodded indifferently and said, “Thank you.”

His response made her feel awkward.

“Why are you here, Amelia?” Amelia Winters chimed in just in time to alleviate her discomfort.

“Mom told me to come. She said Tiffany is getting surgery, but she can’t come over herself. Hence, she asked me to drop by instead,” Amelia Hutton explained.

“I see.” Amelia Winters nodded and said no more.

Tiffany’s operation was a success. Afterward, she was pushed into the ward, where the nurse put her on an IV drip.

Having confirmed that Tiffany looked fine, Amelia Winters said to Derrick, “I’ll head back upstairs to see my mom, Derrick. I’ll come down again later.”

He nodded in response.

The two sisters, Amelia Winters and Amelia Hutton, went upstairs and entered the ward. Eleanor was reading a book when they returned. Upon noticing them, she asked, “How is Tiffany? Was the operation a success?”

“Yes. It went well. She just got pushed back into her ward.”

“That’s great. A uterine septum surgery isn’t a major operation. However, a lot of women have trouble having children because of the uterine anomalies in this condition. It isn’t easy for them to get pregnant, yet they experience miscarriages. My friend’s daughter-in-law spent so much money to get pregnant with twins. However, the fetus was stillborn when she was about to enter labor. The two fetuses were lifeless when they got taken out of her womb through surgery. So, even if the operation was successful, Tiffany should still be cautious and rest well,” Eleanor exhorted earnestly, as though she was speaking from her experience.

“Mom, don’t worry about it. She’s an adult who knows how to take care of herself. Your main focus now should be taking care of yourself. Don’t bother yourself with other things.”

Eleanor had no choice but to give in and listen to her.

Amelia Winters prepared some slices for Eleanor. As soon as the latter put a slice of into her mouth, she felt a sharp pain in her head, as if she got pounded on her head with a hammer. Grabbing her head, she rolled on the bed in pain and fell to the ground.

The whole event happened so suddenly that it baffled everyone inside the ward. Fortunately, Sean reacted quickly and ran out to ask for help. Soon, Eleanor was wheeled into the operating room.

Amelia Winters stared at the lit sign that indicated the surgery was in progress with her hands clasped tightly together. Her mind was all over the place.

At that moment, her mind was filled with the words “hospital” and “surgery.” For the past three years, almost every part of her life was associated with those two things. The people around her and even herself got hospitalized one by one and had surgeries. In fact, she even had a close brush with death once. The woman was honestly terrified as she relived the panic that arose from the possibility of Eleanor dying on the operating table.

Meanwhile, Benjamin stared at the operating room intently with his lips tightly pressed together.

As for Amelia Hutton, she looked at Amelia Winters and said, “Amy, the Hutton family wouldn’t face so much trouble if you never showed up.” Her eyes were filled with resentment and anger.

Amelia Winters took a glance at her and remained silent.

“That’s enough, Amelia. No one has any say in the cycle of life and death. Stop babbling,” Benjamin rebuked.

That made Amelia Hutton bit her lip.

Sean voiced, “Stop it, Amelia. We’re all upset now that Mom is in the operating room.”

Amelia Hutton took a look at Amelia Winters and fell silent.

Just then, Derrick came upstairs. When Amelia Winters saw him, she asked, “Why are you here? Is Tiff awake?”

“Yes, she woke up. She heard that Mrs. Hutton passed out, so she wanted me to come up and take a look,” he replied.

“What about her? Does her wound hurt? Can she get off the bed?”

“It still hurts a little, but she can leave the bed if she moves carefully with someone supporting her. I asked the housekeeper in my house to stay back for a while to take care of her.”

“That’s great.”

The operation was being carried out urgently in the operating room, and the atmosphere outside was also full of tension and worry. Hence, no one chatted freely.

After a few hours, the operation was finally over, and a team of doctors came out. Amelia Winters and Benjamin rushed over right away, and she asked, “James, Professor, how is my mom’s condition?”

The mentor shook his head.

James looked grim. “Amelia, Mrs. Hutton’s condition doesn’t look well. Her malignant brain tumor is worsening rapidly. If there is no medicine to curb it, I’m afraid she won’t be able to live longer than three months.”

Amelia Winters’ legs gave away as soon as she heard that. Before that, the doctors said Eleanor still had six months more to live, yet it was shortened by half after merely a few days.
