Too Much to Bear, My Love Chapter 201

Olivia calmed herself down. She instructed the maid to pack some nutritious soup and other nourishing

foods. Then, she went to the hospital together with Owen, carrying all these foods with her.

When they walked into the ward, Amelia was sound asleep while Oscar was gazing quietly at her.

Guilt flashed across Olivia’s face. She placed the food down on the bedside table and stroked Amelia’s

hair tenderly. “Is she not awake yet?” she asked in a whisper.

Oscar shook his head in reply and whispered back, “She just fell asleep.”

“Can you step out with me for a bit?” Olivia asked, beckoning Oscar towards the door.

Oscar got out of his chair and followed Olivia into the corridor outside.

“What’s the matter, Mom?” Oscar already had an inkling of what Olivia wanted to say to him.

“Do you know who’s the culprit behind Amelia’s car accident?” Oliva asked him solemnly.

Oscar nodded in reply.

Oliva thought quietly to herself for a while then said resignedly, “Oscar, don’t condemn your sister too

much. I’ve already asked her to leave our family and go her own way.”

Oscar cast a glance at Olivia. He knew that this was a big sacrifice from her.

“Mom, I won’t harm her if that’s what you’re worried about, but I won’t help her if she ever needs it in the

future either. I can never forgive someone who tried to hurt my loved ones—even my sister.”

Olivia sighed. What Oscar had said was reasonable, but Stephanie was still her daughter after all. No

mother could be so cruel as to disregard their own child, even if she had committed such a heinous

crime.

“Oscar, I know that Stephanie has done a terrible thing. I, too, am very angry and disappointed with her,

but she is only human! She’s bound to make mistakes. Let’s just consider this a lesson learned, okay?

She is still young and there’s still a long way ahead of her. Please help her whenever you can. I only

have the two of you. I can’t bear it if anything happens to either of you…” Olivia pleaded earnestly, on the

verge of tears.

Oscar stared at his mother. His expression was indecipherable.

Olivia’s eyes flickered. Under the scrutiny of Oscar’s gaze, her guilt deepened.

“Mom, what about Amelia? What about your newborn grandson? It has been a few days since Amelia

gave birth to him but she has yet to lay her eyes on him. Right now, her whole body hurts just from

laughing and there’s a blood clot in her brain that’s pressing on her nerve. She could go blind at any

time! You said you loved her like your own daughter, but now, you expect me to forgive the person who

tried to murder her?”

Olivia kept silent. Her eyes shone with unspeakable pain.

She loved both Amelia and Stephanie equally. It was impossible for her to give up and let go of either

one of them.

It was true that she loved Amelia as if she was her own, but Stephanie was her blood and flesh. She was

disappointed with what Stephanie had done; ultimately, she would stand by Stephanie.

After all, she had carried Stephanie in her womb for ten months and had raised her all these years. How

could she possibly stop loving her?

Oscar felt conflicted. He lowered his voice and said, “Mom, it doesn’t matter what you say. It is

impossible for me to forgive her right now. Maybe in the future, this might change and it will depend upon

how she treats Amelia going forward. Sorry to say this, Mom—if she shows no remorse, I’ll definitely

choose my wife and son over her. After all, Amelia is the one who will stand by me for the rest of my life.

Once Stephanie is married, she, too, will have her own family and her heart will belong to another. This is

the bitter truth. You can’t make me treat them equally.”

Olivia stared helplessly at the closed door of the hospital ward. A myriad of emotions washed over her.

Oscar’s demeanor softened. I shouldn’t be so tough on her. She is my mother after all.

“Don’t worry about Stephanie, Mom. She did wrong and she should be punished. I don’t really care for

her anymore at this point, but when she gets married, I’ll definitely show up with a gift. She is still a

beloved daughter of the Clintons and I won’t let her be embarrassed. Anyway, I’m sure Amelia would

want to do right by her as well,” Oscar said gently.

Olivia nodded weakly.

“Oscar, please don’t tell Amelia that Stephanie was the one who had masterminded the car crash. I don’t

want a rift to grow between them.”

Oscar nodded in reply.

“Don’t worry, Mom. I don’t plan to tell Amelia the truth. I don’t want this to haunt her thoughts.”

Olivia sighed heavily.

Oscar’s resentment for Stephanie is growing by the day. They used to be so close, but now, they’ve

grown so far apart. Anyway, I can’t deny that Stephanie brought this upon herself.

Soon, the mother and son came to a tacit agreement and neither spoke another word.

They would hide from Amelia the fact that Stephanie had found someone to crash into her.

Amelia recovered quickly under Oscar’s devoted care and attention. After spending about half a month in

the hospital, she was able to engage in light activities again.

With Oscar wheeling her along in a wheelchair, the nurse allowed her to visit her son in the intensive

care unit.

Amelia’s heart tightened as soon as she laid eyes on her tiny, pale baby laying in the incubator.

So, this is my son. What a handsome little boy! His eyebrows and nose look exactly like his father’s. Oh,

but he looks so delicate! Even a wind would break him! Amelia greedily drank in the sight of her son. She

just could not get enough.

She stretched her hand towards him, wanting to touch him, but she was afraid she might hurt him

instead. She looked at the nurse as her hand hovered hesitantly over the baby.

The nurse said with a warm smile, “Go ahead and touch him if you want. Babies are not as fragile as you

think they are. However, don’t touch them too much as their skin is still very delicate.”

Amelia relaxed. She gently caressed her son’s tiny cheeks. The touch of his tender skin made her heart

melt instantly.

“Oscar, look, this is our son.” Amelia’s eyes sparkled with joy. “His cheeks are so soft.”

Oscar pulled Amelia into his chest and stroked her hair. “He knows his mother is here to see him, so,

he’s on his best behavior today.”

Amelia smiled. She felt as if she would explode from happiness.

“Ah, if only he was awake… I want to see if his eyes are like yours or mine,” Amelia commented casually.

“His eyes are like yours. He took after you since you have such beautiful eyes. One look into them and

your heart would melt into a puddle,” Oscar said, taking the opportunity to compliment his wife as well.

Amelia threw him a sideways glance.

The nurse hid a smile and said, “You two lovebirds are so sweet.”

Amelia smiled at her and replied, “Thank you! Coco, you are so beautiful as well. Your husband must

love you very much too.”

Coco chuckled and said, “Yes, he adores me. He is a simple, honest man, but he knows how to spoil his

wife. Mr. Clinton is the more romantic one for sure!”

“Married life is indeed a simple one. As long as the husband loves his wife and the wife is attentive

towards her husband, and there are a couple of sweet, noisy babies in the mix, then that’s all you’ll need

for a happy family,” Amelia said in reply.

Coco smiled and nodded in agreement. “You are absolutely right, Mrs. Clinton. With a wife like yourself,

what more would a man want?”

Amelia lowered her gaze bashfully as a smile slowly spread across her face.

“Oscar, have you given our son a name?” Amelia asked.

“He hasn’t been named yet. My parents suggested that we wait until you’re discharged from the hospital.

We were planning to throw him a welcome baby party when he reaches one month old and give him a

name then. Even if you aren’t discharged by then, we can still have a small celebration in the hospital

and name him. We’ve been calling him Tony though. It means “priceless.” After all, he is our precious

firstborn,” Oscar answered while caressing his wife’s head tenderly.

Amelia gazed down at her son’s sleeping form and whispered softly, “Tony, I am your Mommy. Mommy

had an operation and couldn’t move at all. Do you blame Mommy for not coming to visit you earlier?”

The baby was still sleeping quietly, but a faint smile flitted across his little face. Perhaps it was because

he had sensed his mother’s unconditional love for him.

Amelia turned to Oscar excitedly. “Look! Our son’s smiling at us!”

“Our son must love his mother very much. He must’ve known that you’re here to see him,” Oscar said,

beaming back at Amelia.

At that moment, Amelia’s heart felt full.

The two of them stayed in the ICU for about twenty minutes. Amelia was reluctant to leave.

“We will come back to see him again tomorrow. Don’t worry, Amelia. There will be nurses around who will

watch after our baby. No harm will come to him,” Oscar said reassuringly to her.

Amelia was still frowning with concern. “Oscar, why don’t you and Mom take him home? I don’t feel

comfortable having him here in the hospital.”

Oscar gently nudged her towards the door. “Mom said that she will bring our son home in two days.

Anyway, I’ve instructed a bodyguard to watch over him secretly. I won’t allow any harm to come to our

son. Don’t worry, okay?”

Hearing Oscar’s words, Amelia visibly relaxed.

The two of them then began to move away from the ICU. At the other end of the corridor, the silhouettes

of a man and a woman appeared. The woman was staring bitterly at the sight of Amelia in her

wheelchair.

“Honey, do you see this? Your so-called lover treats this other woman oh-so-lovingly,” June said while his

arms crossed tightly over his chest.

Cassie’s face bore a sour expression.

She clenched her fists. Resentment shone in her eyes.

“Oz just feels sorry for her. When she recovers, he will come back to me,” Cassie said in self-deception.

June looked coldly at Cassie. “Honey, I used to think you were a smart woman, but it seems that he has

you completely fooled. Even after seeing it with your own eyes, you are still lying to yourself! I took

revenge on them for your sake. Now, you must come back to me. Anyway, I think your mother prefers me

over that Oscar Clinton!”

Cassie did not even glance at him. Her eyes were fixed on Oscar and Amelia’s retreating figures.
