Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 747

Chapter 747 Would Not Be Cured

When Amelia woke up, she subconsciously rubbed her stomach while looking at Oscar with a devasted expression. “Is our baby really gone?”

Oscar caressed her head. “Don’t take it to heart. We still have Tony. You can get pregnant again after your body has fully recovered. By then, having three or four kids will not be an issue. Right now, you should focus on recuperating.”

Tears started pouring out of Amelia’s eyes. She knew that she had lost her baby due to her carelessness. She had been so busy during this time that she hadn’t even noticed her period hadn’t come. The woman didn’t expect it was due to this negligence that caused her to have a miscarriage. It was truly unacceptable for her.

“I’m sorry, Oscar. I didn’t know about it, and I didn’t want this to happen either. I can’t understand why our baby is gone.” Amelia broke down into sobs.

After the miscarriage, Amelia felt more guilty compared to anyone else. Just like that, she and her unborn child only had a brief encounter.

Oscar sat on the side of the bed. He cautiously embraced his wife and whispered, “Be good now. Everything will be fine. Although we lost the baby, we can have another one. It’s also my fault for not noticing that you didn’t have your period. Otherwise, I would have reminded you. I was too inattentive as a husband. Let’s stop crying. You just had a miscarriage, and your body is weak. Crying too much is also not good for you.”

Amelia buried herself in his arms as she wept.

Oscar cast a glance at Tony, who then walked over obediently. The little boy said, “Mommy, you’ve still got me. I’ll stay beside you forever. Maybe my baby brother or sister went away first because we were not meant to meet. I think when he or she feels that the time has arrived, my baby brother or sister will definitely come back again. Don’t be sad.”

Amelia got up from Oscar’s embrace and wiped away her tears. She raised her hand to stroke her son’s head. “Tony, I’m all right. Did I scare you?”

Tony shook his head. “I’m fine. Mommy, don’t be upset anymore. Big Meanie and I will always stay by your side. In the future, there will also be my brothers and sisters who will keep you company. Then you won’t be lonely.”

Amelia laughed through her tears. She finally wasn’t as heartbroken as before.

“Where’s Dad, Mom, and Tiff? The news must have frightened them.” Amelia turned around and looked at Oscar.

“I was worried they might disturb you, so I told them to return home first. They will probably come back again later.”

“It’s better this way,” Amelia replied. “Oscar, please don’t tell my mother about this. Her current situation isn’t optimistic. If she knew I miscarried because I was too exhausted from taking care of her, she would certainly feel upset. That will not do her illness any good.”

There was a dark and unfathomable look in Oscar’s eyes.

“Oscar, this matter really has nothing to do with my mother. The miscarriage happened due to my negligence. Don’t blame it on her.” Perhaps she had noticed Oscar’s mood change as Amelia tried explaining.

Oscar took a deep breath and caressed her cheek. “I don’t blame her. If anything, I blame the fact that the child was not destined to be with us.”

Amelia still felt a great wave of guilt wash over her.

“Don’t overthink it, Amelia. You only need to take care of your health,” Oscar consoled her.

Amelia bobbed her head.

Olivia and Owen brought a lot of supplements when they visited Amelia later that night. Amelia thought of getting out of bed, but her mother-in-law swiftly held and supported her body. “Don’t get down from the bed. You just had a miscarriage, so your health is still very frail.”

While leaning on the bed, Amelia apologized, “I’m sorry, Mom. I didn’t manage to keep the baby.”

“It’s not your fault. Your mother is seriously ill, and there’s no way you wouldn’t take care of her. Although you hired a caretaker, you’ve always preferred to do everything yourself. Losing the baby is also normal. If it’s gone, it’s gone. Don’t think about it too much. We have brought some food for you to eat. They will help nourish your body,” Olivia commented.

Afterward, Olivia opened the lid, and a wonderful aroma filled their nostrils. “I specially prepared this nourishing mushroom soup, which is delicious yet light enough for you to consume.”

Warmth spread through Amelia’s heart. She had one serving of Olivia’s soup before responding, “Mom, it’s delicious. Thanks for not blaming me and for even preparing something for me to eat.”

“Don’t mention it since we are a family. Letting your body recover after a miscarriage is the most important thing you should do. As for your mother, I’ll arrange for people to look after her. Don’t refuse my help. I’m doing it for Tony’s sake. I also don’t want my grandson to get worried sick about you,” Olivia insisted in an unyielding tone.

Amelia gave it some thought before nodding in agreement.

The young woman had lost her child because she was so busy that she collapsed due to exhaustion. Hence, it made sense why Olivia would make such arrangements.

Knowing that Oscar had gone to visit Eleanor, Olivia opened up to her daughter-in-law. “Amelia, I don’t blame you. It’s just that you should put your health as the top priority in the future. Currently, you only have Tony. If possible, I hope you can give birth to another one or two children to keep him company. Being the only child would mean he would be lonely. Since our family has a huge family business, it will also be good if someone is there to assist Tony later on in life.”

Amelia nodded in response. “I understand, Mom. I’ll try to recuperate quickly.”

“It would be best if my words sank in. Then, that would save me some time from having to nag at you,” said Olivia.

“I know you’re doing it for my own good,” Amelia responded.

Following that, the two women faced each other silently. They weren’t as close as they used to be, which made sense. After all, it would be impossible to regain the intimacy they used to have after Amelia secretly took Tony away and left two years ago.

When Oscar came back with Tony, Olivia stood up to leave.

“Your dad and I are going home first.”

“Mom, Dad, why don’t you stay for a little longer?” Oscar asked.

Olivia hugged her grandson while speaking. “That won’t be necessary. Your dad and I have something else to do. Tony should return with us. It’s not good for him to keep staying here. There are quite a lot of evil spirits or something in the hospital. Since Tony is still young, it’s easy for him to bump into one of those.”

Oscar only glanced at his son and asked, “Tony, do you want to return home with your grandparents?”

Tony looked at Olivia and spoke. “Grandma, I want to stay with Mommy. I promise not to make a fuss.”
