Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 868

Chapter 868 Flying Home

Tiffany arrived at the hospital to see Amelia and Kurt in the field. She could feel the change in the atmosphere between the both of them as a look of confusion flashed across her eyes. Tiffany walked over. “Hi, Amelia. Hi, Kurt!”

Amelia turned and looked at her. “You're here.”

Tiffany sat beside Amelia before placing the things in her hands on the chair. “Kurt, you look better now. I think you can be discharged in a few days.”

“Tiffany, can you find out whether I could be discharged within these two days? I want to go home and rest. It's annoying to stay in the hospital and sniff the smell of Lysol all day.” Kurt smiled.

“I can't make the decision on this. Ask Amelia. You got hurt because of her, so she is really worried about you. You have to get her permission to be discharged.” Tiffany shrugged as she teased Amelia.

Kurt grinned as he turned and looked at Amelia.

Without surprise, Amelia stated firmly, “Kurt, you have not fully recovered yet. Why don't you stay in the hospital for another ten days? If the doctor says you are fine by then, we will get you discharged. Please don't argue with me. I won't let you go home now.”

Kurt smiled gently without saying anything.

The trio sat there for about an hour before heading up. Tiffany opened the lunchbox she had brought and presented Kurt with a bowl of mushroom soup.

Kurt's brows furrowed as he took the soup and downed it in one sitting like it was some poison.

With the soup out of the way, Kurt spoke. “Tiffany, can you prepare some stir-fried food for me? I'm tired of drinking mushroom soup and don't want to drink it every day.”

“Kurt, you're being ungrateful. I come back and forth every day bringing food for you. Yet, you dare to complain? Do you want to eat oatmeal and salad tomorrow?”

Kurt merely lay in bed quietly.

“All right. I'll cook something different tomorrow. You win!” Tiffany admitted defeat.

Kurt's mood brightened up as he smiled.

After Kurt fell asleep, Tiffany pulled Amelia outside.

“Babe, did you talk things through with Kurt? The atmosphere between you two is different now. It's no longer so suffocating,” Tiffany whispered.

“We did. I told him I couldn't give him the love that he wanted. But, I will put him in my heart. He will be family to Tony and me!” A flash of complicated emotion appeared in Amelia's eyes. “Maybe he knows I can't love him that way, so he agreed. Kurt is a lovely person. I hope a woman who loves him unconditionally will appear soon to start a family with him.”

“Good. It's great that your thoughts are out in the open. Don't keep things in your heart anymore. If you are unhappy, Kurt would be unhappy too,” Tiffany comforted.

She pitied Kurt. Even though he knew the ending, he still followed them here without regret. What was more, he even took a bullet for Amelia. If they were in love, they would have been a compatible couple. Sadly, it was a one-sided love on Kurt's part. Maybe they should remain as a family and that would be the best resolution.

Amelia merely smiled in response. She was not oblivious to her feelings for Kurt. Amelia was moved by the many things that he had done for her. However, she had given all of her love to Oscar, so she could only suppress her fondness for Kurt. She wouldn't allow a third party to interfere in her relationship, so she could only let Kurt down. One party would always have to back out of a love triangle.

Tiffany told Amelia to head into Kurt's ward because she had to run to school for her scriptwriting class. She also promised that she would be back by nighttime.

Kurt stayed in the hospital for another ten days. Just as he felt like he was going to rot, Amelia asked the doctor for his opinion on whether Kurt could be discharged. After multiple promises and guarantees from the doctor that Kurt was fine, Amelia finally agreed to proceed with the discharge procedure.

Teddy was present on the day Kurt was discharged. He apologized sincerely, “Mr. Alfsen, the suspect has been detained. He was going after me and a few others at the gala. I'm sorry for dragging Amelia into this mess and getting you shot in the process of you protecting her.”

Kurt shook his head politely. “It's no big deal.”

He was happy that he got to spend so many days being close to Amelia.

Teddy picked up the suitcase and left first with Tiffany, who had Tony in her arms.

After arriving home, Amelia helped Kurt sit down on the couch. She urged, “Kurt, are you sure you are feeling fine? Don't hold it in if you are feeling uncomfortable.”

Kurt smiled. Warmth filled his heart as Kurt fixed his gaze on Amelia, who was busy trying to make him feel comfortable.

I know as time passes, I'll get to spend less time with her. However, I still couldn't help but wish for these days to become longer, so I could get more time to be around Amelia.

“Why are you staring at me?” Amelia was amused by Kurt's action.

Kurt retracted his gaze, shaking his head.

Amelia smiled. She didn't put much thought into deciphering the meaning behind Kurt's gaze. Instead, Amelia and Tiffany went to the farmer's market to buy a lot of ingredients so they could cook for him to help Kurt regenerate his health.

That night, the four adults and one kid had their best time during dinner. Amelia even permitted Kurt to consume alcohol. It might be due to the happiness of discharging from the hospital or something else, but Kurt got himself drunk after three glasses of alcohol. Teddy had to help him into the room after that.

After that, Kurt lay on the bed, talking in his dream, mentioning Amelia's name at every turn.

Both Amelia and Tiffany who stood by the bed heard it.

Tiffany spoke. “Babe, even though Kurt looked suave and dashing, he is a loyal man. I'm afraid it's hard for him to fall in love with another woman after meeting you. You must live your life carrying his love in your heart.”

Amelia frowned. She couldn't bear to see Kurt in such a pathetic state.
