Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 399 Why Did You Hit Her

After James confirmed that there weren’t any after-effects from the surgery, Amelia and the others

packed up and planned to return to Chanaea. As for James, he had submitted his resignation and

would also head to Chanaea in a month.

Before leaving, he deliberately made time to meet Amelia. “Amelia, please don’t let Oscar down. He

has spent a lot of time trying to find a suitable cornea for you in the past two years. I’ve never seen him

treat any women so altruistically. Even when Cassie left him back then, I never saw him trying to

reconcile with her. To him, you’re extraordinary. I think you should compromise some things for him.”

Amelia lowered her head and contemplated for a while. Then, she raised her head and assured,

“James, don’t worry. I will.”

“I’m glad that you’re willing to listen to me. Ever since you left, Oscar has been under a lot of pressure.

Previously, his mother even threatened him with her life, forcing him to completely cut ties with you, but

he persevered with it. Although he seems aloof, he’s fiercely loyal toward the woman he loves.” James

told her a lot of things she had no way of knowing.

In an instant, she was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. An indecipherable emotion flashed across her

eyes.

“James, thank you for telling me this,” Amelia expressed her gratitude.

Hearing that, James smiled heartily. “I talked a little more than usual today. I hope you don’t mind. All

right, I have to perform two surgeries later, so I won’t be sending you to the airport.”

“It’s okay. Go ahead.”

Shortly afterward, James asked the butler to send them to the airport while he hurried to the hospital.

At the airport, Amelia walked up to Oscar and straightened his perfectly tidy suit. “Oscar, I’ll go back to

Beshya for a few days. Once I’ve settled everything, I’ll bring Tony back. No matter what, he’s still the

grandson of the Clinton family. I’ll definitely let Mom meet with him.”

Oscar’s lips curled upward into a smile, and he gently patted the back of her head. “I can’t go to

Beshya with you. You must take good care of yourself, okay? Only I’m allowed to bully you. You need

to stop giving yourself a hard time. Understand?”

Amelia could not help grinning and patted his chest. “You’re so domineering.”

While waiting for the plane, they were being lovey-dovey and unwilling to separate for even a second. It

wasn’t until the time came that they boarded the plane separately. Amelia, Tiffany, Kurt, and Tony

returned to Beshya while Derrick and Oscar headed to Tayhaven.

On the plane, Tiffany piped up, “Amelia, after reconciling with Oscar, I noticed that you’re more willing

to express your feelings toward him.”

A smile crept onto Amelia’s face. “He has done so much for me. If I wasn’t touched by it, then I would

be a woman with a heart of stone. Moreover, his attitude toward me has never changed.”

Tiffany turned around to look at her and saw the gentle expression on her face. She looks just like a

woman who’s deeply in love.

“I thought that your feelings would dwindle after two years of separation, but they grow stronger

instead. Seeing that you and Oscar are doing well, I feel relieved,” Tiffany stated.

After a pause, she cast a brief look at Kurt, who was holding Tony with his eyes shut, looking to be

asleep. “Amelia, now that you’ve reconciled with Oscar, what are you going to do with Kurt? Tony’s too

reliant on him. It won’t be easy for you and Oscar to get back together.”

The smile on Amelia’s face faltered. She lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

Grabbing her hand, Tiffany uttered, “Since you’ve chosen Oscar, I think you should keep a distance

from Kurt. It’d be good for both of you.”

“I know. I’ll find a time to make it clear to him. It’s just that Tony’s too clingy to him. I’d only hurt Tony if I

separate them by force.” That was what Amelia was concerned about. Besides, it would be ungrateful

for her to chuck Kurt aside immediately after she reunited with Oscar.

Taking another look in Kurt’s direction, Tiffany saw Tony fiddling with Kurt’s chin mischievously. At that

instant, complicated emotions flashed across her eyes.

“You should think about it carefully. I actually said some pretty harsh things to Kurt when we were in

Anglandur. I believe he’ll listen to what you have to say. If you’re certain that you don’t love him, it’s

better to separate as soon as possible. Stringing him along will only make him fall deeper in love with

you,” stated Tiffany solemnly. Back then, she intended to get Amelia and Kurt together, but now that

Oscar had appeared, it would be bad for the three of them to be in an entanglement.

“Okay,” responded Amelia softly.

Subsequently, Tiffany took the coat on her lap and draped it over Amelia’s shoulder. “Take a rest. Your

eyes have just recovered. So don’t tire yourself out now.”

Amelia closed her eyes obediently.

When they arrived in Beshya, Amelia and Tiffany walked in front, while Kurt walked behind with Tony in

his arms.

Then, they hailed a cab and went back to the neighborhood where they lived before. As soon as they

got out of the elevator, they saw Eleanor and Amelia Hutton standing at the door.

Eleanor and Amelia Hutton also turned their heads when they heard the sound of the elevator. Seeing

their appearances, Amelia Winters was still stunned even though she was mentally prepared. Back

when she could not see, she could comfort herself that Tiffany and the others were exaggerating.

However, now that she saw it with her own eyes, she was shocked to realize that there was someone

who looked so similar to her.

Never had Amelia Winters thought she would look so identical to Eleanor.

At that instant, a strange thought flashed across her mind. Is she truly my biological mother? Or is she

so passionate toward me only because I look like her?

Eleanor’s eyes reddened the moment she saw Amelia Winters. She rushed toward the latter and

stopped when she was two steps away from her. “Lia, you’re finally back. Where have you been? You

didn’t even tell me that you were leaving. I thought you weren’t coming back anymore. You’ve scared

the daylights out of me. Please don’t do this again. I’ve been waiting for you for days, and we can’t get

through your phone. I really thought something happened to you and was worried sick.”

Before Amelia Winters could answer, Amelia Hutton walked over, lifted her hand, and slapped the

former before everyone could react.

After slapping her, Amelia Hutton reprimanded, “Normally, people would inform their family and friends

before they leave, but you just left without saying anything. No matter how many times we tried to

reach you by phone, it couldn’t get through. Do you know that my mom almost fell ill because of you?

She had a medical history of mental illness. If she fell ill this time, she might need to be admitted to a

psychiatric hospital. Are you proud that my mom is worried about you? You’re such a hypocrite.”

The slap was so sudden that Amelia Winters fell into a momentary daze.

Meanwhile, Eleanor pushed Amelia Hutton away and scolded sternly, “Why did you hit her?” Then, she

turned to Amelia Winters and asked concernedly, “Lia, how do you feel? Does it hurt? Amelia doesn’t

know any better. I’ll teach her a lesson when I go back. Hurry up and show me your face. Does it hurt a

lot?”

As she spoke, a hint of cold glint flickered past her eyes. Glaring at Amelia Hutton, she said anxiously,

“Apologize to your sister right now. How can you slap her without any reason? Seems like I’ll have to

discipline you when we’re home.”

Instantaneously, Amelia retorted aggrievedly, “Mom, I’m just seeking justice for you. Look at you.

You’ve lost so much weight because of her.”

“I don’t need you to seek justice for me. I was just worried that something had happened to Lia. Who

asked you to slap her? If Lia’s angry at me for this, you don’t need to call me Mom anymore,” berated

Eleanor.
