Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 238 Throbbing

Tiffany then drove Amelia to Provincial Hospital, for she happened to know a doctor there. After that,

she used her connections to get Amelia a series of checkups from experts.

By the time the checks were done, two hours had already passed. Amelia sat very nervously in front of

the doctor. When Tiffany noticed her state, she patted her back to soothe her then asked, “Dr. Zalman,

how’s Amelia’s situation?”

Harold, the doctor, carefully read the examination report then said, “She had an accident before, didn’t

she?”

Tiffany nodded.

He continued, “She’s recovering quite well, but she should still be careful, or there might be side

effects. There are not many issues with her body, but we can only have the report for the brain

tomorrow. Anyway, you have to be mentally prepared. The blood clot in her brain already began to

move and could press on the optic nerve. We can only get a better picture when we see the report

tomorrow; so, don’t be too nervous for now.”

Tiffany then glanced at Amelia nervously and swallowed. “Will the blood clot cause blindness?”

Harold looked at her solemnly and replied, “Truthfully, if her condition becomes severe, she may go

blind. But medical technology’s very advanced now, so as long as we can find a suitable cornea, we

can resolve the problem. In any case, don’t jump to conclusions so quickly. This is merely the worst-

case scenario. When Ms. Winters gets better, the blood clot may also dissolve by itself. As I said, we’ll

discuss this again when we have the report tomorrow.”

Amelia’s heart sank when she heard his words.

Meanwhile, Tiffany replied, “Thank you, Dr. Zalman. We’ll come again tomorrow for the report.”

He nodded. “Sure. I suggest you bring her previous report too. We can use it as a reference to better

work out a treatment plan for her.”

“Okay, we’ll bring it over tomorrow.”

Once they left the hospital, Tiffany then patted Amelia and said, “Don’t be like this. The doctor already

said that it’s the worst-case scenario. You’re so nice that I can guarantee the heavens won’t let you

suffer so much that they weren’t even willing to take your life. You still have a lot of good luck. Don’t

worry.”

Amelia shrugged. “I’m fine. Don’t worry. I’ve experienced many things, so I can handle this. Anyway,

even if I become blind, I’ll be the most beautiful blind lady. I still have Tony, so I won’t do anything

stupid.”

Tiffany’s heart ached even more when she heard that. She keeps putting on a fearless, strong front but

doesn’t know that it makes others feel sorry for her.

Such a woman deserved all the good things in the world. Unfortunately, the heavens had decided to

play jokes on her. Although she may have stayed alive, she might lose her sight instead.

The eyes were said to be the windows to the soul. Thus, without sight, a person’s world was doomed to

be dark. After all, how could one’s world be lit up when the windows were closed.

Tiffany hugged her, then said, “No matter what happens, we’re all by your side, Amelia. Tony and I will

always be your family. Medical technology’s very advanced now, so as long as we find a compatible

cornea, it’ll be okay. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”

Amelia smiled. “I’m fine. Don’t worry. You can go back first if you have something on. I’ll take a cab and

head back later.”

Tiffany looked at her. “I’ll send you home. Your sight’s not very good now, so don’t drive during this

period of time. I’ll drive over to the Clintons’ to take you to the hospital tomorrow. I know you don’t want

Oscar to find out about this, for the time being, so don’t worry; I won’t say anything to him before you

agree.”

Amelia felt grateful to her. Tiffany was able to read her mind from a mere glance. Sometimes, she even

knew her better than Oscar. If Tiffany were male, perhaps they would be soulmates, since they had a

lot of chemistry. It was a pity they were both females, so they could only be best friends.

“Thank you, Tiff.”

“Let’s go. Stop saying such things. If you say thank you too much, I’ll feel very odd and distant from

you.”

Thus, Amelia did not speak anymore.

Once she got in the car, Amelia was silent the rest of the ride back. She seemed to be thinking about

something and was not interested in anything else.

When they arrived at the Clintons’ doorstep, Tiffany said, “We’re here, Amelia. I still have a manuscript

I haven’t submitted to Shannon, so I won’t go in. Help me say hi to Mrs. Clinton. I’ll come to visit Tony

tomorrow.”

Amelia unbuckled her seatbelt and asked, “Come in for a cup of tea?”

“Nah, you go ahead. She wants the manuscript urgently, so I still have to rush it out overnight. Don’t

overthink, okay? Don’t forget that you still have Tony and me. Everything will be okay. Do you

understand?”

Amelia nodded in reply.

Then, only when Tiffany drove off did she enter the house. The guard at the gates greeted her very

respectfully, so she politely greeted him back as well.

Once she entered the hall, Maggie said, “Have you eaten, Ms. Amelia? I have prepared food for you

and Mr. Oscar, but he called to say he wouldn’t be eating. You weren’t here either, and Ms. Stephanie

left right after you. Mr. and Mrs. Clinton aren’t back too. If you haven’t eaten, I’ll go and warm the food

now.”

Amelia smiled gently. “It’s fine. I’ve already eaten. Go and rest. I’ll go upstairs to see Tony.”

“Sure.”

Afterward, Amelia then headed upstairs to Tony’s room. Kurt, who had been sitting on the sofa with his

eyes closed, immediately vigilantly opened them. However, he relaxed once he saw that it was her.

“Ma’am,” he greeted her respectfully.

She smiled at him gently, then walked over to the crib to watch Tony as he slept soundly. Miraculously,

her anxiety instantly disappeared.

She looked at him nostalgically and could not help but caress his small face. There was also a flicker of

sadness in her gaze.

After all, they had both been through a life-and-death experience. Initially, she thought that everything

would be over once they survived. Yet, she did not expect that the heavens would play such a joke on

her. Although they gave her a new life, they wanted to take her sight away. Can I even complain that

they are unfair?

Aware of how strange she was acting, Kurt, who had always upheld the thought that silence was

golden, spoke. “Is… Is there something on your mind?”

She then looked at him somewhat in surprise. She had thought that he would only act loyally according

to orders but did not expect his observation skills to be that strong.

“Why did you say that?” she asked after suppressing all her emotions.

He pondered for a while, then replied, “I can tell you’re unhappy.” Afterward, he became silent again, as

if he was uncomfortable with such ordinary communication. Hence, he did not speak coherently either.

“If you don’t mind, you can tell me about it. I won’t tell anyone.”

Upon hearing his words, Amelia felt warm inside. At least the silent man in front of her had a warm

heart. Aside from carrying out his orders, he was not merely a cold, heartless person.

“Thank you, Kurt,” she said sincerely.

As a result, he was stunned for a moment. He did not know why she would thank him, but his calm

heart could not help but ripple a little. He also seemed to feel a slight throbbing from deep inside his

heart. Although it was an unfamiliar feeling, he was not repelled by it. On the contrary, it felt very .

“Don’t get me wrong. You’ve been taking care of Tony during this period, but you have great skills, so

you’re sort of wasting your talents by staying by my side. If you’re unwilling, I can send you back to

Oscar,” she said with a smile.

He frowned and replied, “Since Boss sent me here, I’ve taken you as my ma’am. I’ll only take orders

from you. Also, I like Tony, so I don’t think it’s wasting my talents. I’m used to hiding in the dark, so

taking care of him actually calms my nerves. At least, I can avoid many things I don’t want to do, like

killing.”

She immediately widened her eyes in surprise at that, for he had mentioned killing so casually.

“Killing?” she asked, thinking that he was merely joking.

She did not expect him to nod seriously in response. In reality, he did not think it was anything

sensational at all.
