Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 797

Chapter 797

Given his usual skeptic self, Noah was somewhat afraid of Oscar. Aside from that, Noah restrained himself even further, fearing that Emma had given Oscar something that would pose a threat. Hence, days went by peacefully for the moment.

As for Amelia, she specifically phoned Tiffany on the weekend after a few uneventful days.

"Tiff, are you ready? I'm minutes away. Come down."

"Okay. Give me five minutes and I'll be there."

After ending the call, Amelia plastered her lips onto Oscar's and said, "I'll be taking Tiff to the hospital for a check-up."

"Do you need me to accompany you?"

"It's fine. I'm not a three-year-old. Besides, Tiff is there for some gynecology problems she's having. Your presence will only make it difficult for her." Oscar kept mum.

With that said, Amelia grabbed her bag and went out. After entering the car, she buckled up herself and turned toward Tiffiany. Noticing that Tiffany was looking well, Amelia asked, "When are you going to move out from the Hisson residence?"

"That's not going to happen anymore because his mother insisted we stay. She would say that she is unwell whenever Derrick talks about moving out, so we eventually gave up." Tiffany shook her head in response and started driving.

Amelia fell silent for a moment before she changed the topic. "I've already talked to James. He's going to get you the best gynecologist they got. It's better if you get yourself checked. Maybe you're not actually infertile."

Tiffany, however, was at ease. "I've visited a couple of doctors before this. At first, they would still politely and cordially tell me that the way to overcome this problem is through surgery and getting enough rest after the surgery. They would, later on, tell me that, given the nature of my condition, the chances of me getting pregnant are at a bare minimum. In fact, I'm not going to force myself anymore. If I really can't get pregnant, I'll resort to surrogacy. I can't let Derrick's lineage die in my hands, can I?"

Amelia knew that Tifanny was lying through her teeth. "You sure about that?"

"What can I do? I can't do this to Derrick after he gave up so much for me. Unlike the people who voluntarily choose not to have kids, I'm more of a traditional woman who wants kids. Besides, my in-laws are getting old now, so I want to realize their wishes to have a grandchild." Tiffany smiled wryly.

"All right. As long as you've thought it through. What about Spencer? How are you going to deal with him?" Amelia reassuringly patted Tiffany's head.

"Derrick wired them some money. I warned them that this would be the last from us. I also told them I would disown them if they kept it up. I'm not a benevolent saint, and I have had enough of their boundless demands. I don't need a family that ignores my feelings." Tiffany sounded determined.

Amelia simply smiled.

She was worried that despite how determined she sounded, Tiffany still couldn't entirely give up on her family.

Amelia didn't press the matter any further, and both of them made their way to the hospital without saying a word.

Upon their arrival, Tiffany went to get her check-up done while Amelia headed toward James's office. She wanted to ask James about something, but she ran into an unexpected scene in the office. It turned out that Eva was trying to feed James some food while James was evading her. There was even a hint of impatience on his face.

Amelia couldn't help frowning at that.

As an outsider, she could clearly tell that James bore no feelings toward Eva, which made it even more unpleasant seeing how Eva was bending over backward to cater to him.

Amelia was worried. She feared that Eva would eventually lose herself and that her love toward James would turn into resentment after her feelings went unreciprocated.

She knocked on the door and stopped the chase between the two.

"Amelia." The two greeted her at the same time.

Amelia entered the office and cleared her throat on purpose. "When did you arrive, Eva? Why didn't you visit me? I haven't seen you in a long time."

Eva took some food to Amelia and smiled ingratiatingly. "I've been busy coaching the new guys, and I finally got some time off. I came to visit James immediately so that he wouldn't be snatched away by the other ladies. In fact, I planned to visit you in the afternoon."

"Have you been very busy recently? It seems you've lost weight."

"That's nothing. If it's something I love doing, it's nothing." Eva made nothing out of it.

James stood up. "Amelia, please excuse me for a moment while you catch up with Eva. It's time to check on the patients."

"Wait. I'll come with you, James. I haven't seen you treating your patients for a very long time. I miss seeing that serious look of yours when you're working."

A hint of impatience flashed across James' eyes but soon vanished as he concealed it. Eva did not capture it, but she would have ignored it even if she did.

"Eva, could you please leave us for a moment? I have something to ask James. It's a little personal." Amelia chimed in.

Despite being reluctant, Eva gave in and left after hearing this.

"What do you want to know, Amelia?"

"Is Tiff's fertility issue curable? Anyway, I kind of feel like there's no point asking, so I'm going to stop here." Amelia sat down and changed the topic. "Tell me honestly, James. Do you love Eva?"
