Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 801

Chapter 801

Gary utilized his connections to get people to help out. When Oscar heard that Eva had caused yet another fuss, he immediately put his work aside so that he could go to Amelia's side. Little did he expect that Stephanie and Isabella would show up at the office at that moment.

Stephanie asked, "Oscar, where are you going during working hours?"

Oscar merely gave them a fleeting glance before walking out.

Stephanie crossed her arms and suggested, "Isabella, why don't we follow Oscar? I'm sure Amelia is the only person that can make Oscar so anxious. If we follow him, we might even get to witness a good show."

Isabella didn't express her opinion. With that, they trailed behind Oscar.

Oscar drove at a blazing speed before he arrived at Amelia's place. When he appeared, Amelia ran toward him desperately as if she had just found her lifebuoy. She voiced anxiously, "Oscar, we can't let anything happen to Eva."

Even though the look in Oscar's eyes was grim, he still patiently tried to console Amelia by saying, "Don't worry. Eva won't do anything rash. I can guarantee she will return after she thought things through."

Amelia knew Oscar had a point, but she was so worried that she let her emotions get the better of her. Besides that, she wasn't sure what James had told Eva, so she couldn't tell how Eva would react to the man's words.

If Eva really did something foolish, it would be too late for us to do anything. How should I explain this to the Winters family, then?

Amelia pondered as she started to panic.

"Amelia, what happened? Why are there so many people around here?" Stephanie's shrill voice sounded.

Amelia's expression changed when she heard that voice. She promptly suppressed her anxiety before looking at Stephanie. "Why are you here, Stephanie?"

Stephanie shrugged. "I was planning to show Isabella around in the company, but we ran into Oscar leaving in a hurry, so we decided to come over. Looks like we get to watch a good show."

Amelia pursed her lips in silence as she couldn't be bothered to argue with Stephanie while she was preoccupied with Eva's matter.

"Go home," Oscar instructed coldly.

"Oscar, I promise I won't make any trouble here. You guys go ahead with what you were doing. Isabella and I are going to walk around. It's been a long time since I last came to the seaside." Stephanie extended her arms, enjoying the cool breeze. That was when she noticed a figure floating on the surface of the sea. The woman then exclaimed in shock, "Is that a human? She looks like she's trying to commit suicide!"

Amelia's heart sank. She immediately followed Stephanie's line of sight and saw a figure bobbing along the waves.

Worried sick, Amelia quickly tugged her hand out of Oscar's and ran over to the sea.

Oscar immediately pulled the woman back. "Jolin, bring that person in the water to us." He spoke anxiously.

"Yes, Boss," Jolin answered before jumping into the sea.

Jolin swam quickly toward the person in the sea. It was evident to everyone on the shore that Jolin and the person got into an argument before they swam back together.

Amelia hurried over to Jolin and the person after they made their way onto the shore. Upon making sure the person was indeed Eva, she scolded, "I'm worried sick! It's not even a big deal, so why do you have to end your life like this? You would have been dead if we didn't discover you in time!"

Eva was befuddled. She asked in confusion, "Amelia, who is ending their life?"

Eva's question momentarily stumped Amelia. She replied hesitantly, "You! Why are you even in the water if you're not thinking of ending your life?"

Eva figured out what had happened at that moment. She glanced at the men in suits that were surrounding them and found out that Amelia must have used her connections to get all of these men to come and look for her as the former was so worried that she would do something silly.

Guilt tugged at her heartstring, and she reassured Amelia softly, "Amelia, I'm sorry. I was feeling down, so I came to the seaside for a walk. I jumped into the water for a swim because I felt miserable. I still have a long road ahead of me, so why would I end my life so easily? You're looking down on me by thinking I'd commit suicide just because of a little setback."

Amelia was relieved to hear that. However, the next moment, rage filled her heart again. "If you are not thinking of ending your life, why did you say those words on the phone? Do you know how worried I was? Can you think of your family before you do something stupid? If anything happens to you today, do you know how grief- stricken and heartbroken I would be? You're already in your twenties. You should consider your loved ones' feelings before you do something rash!"

In response to the scolding she got from Amelia, Eva lowered her head.

Amelia had wanted to continue lecturing Eva, but when she saw how the latter was wet from head to toe and that there were many onlookers present, she feared her words might further hurt Eva's pride. Thus, she swallowed her criticizing words.

The woman forced herself to calm down as she turned and looked at Gary. "Gary, thank you for your help today. I'll treat you to a meal after I'm done dealing with Eva."
