Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 62
“What would you like to eat after you get discharged? I’ll have them prepare it for you,” Oscar suddenly
said as he reached out to touch her forehead.
“If I’d known that you’d be so good to me once you knew I was pregnant, I’d have told you a long time
ago,” said Amelia, though there was no telling whether she genuinely felt that way.
Oscar said indifferently, “Stop thinking too much. Your only job now is to rest well.”
Amelia stared at him for a long time. Suddenly, she flung her arms wide open and said, “Hold me, Mr.
Clinton. For a split second during the ident this morning, I thought I saw the Grim Reaper calling for
me. My mind waspletely nk at that time and when the car crashed onto the pir, all I could
think of was that I may not ever see you again in this lifetime.”
A hint of surprise shed across Oscar’s eyes. He continued listening to Amelia, his heart aching
uncontrobly.
“Mr. Clinton, forgive me for being too sappy. At that very moment of the car ident, all I could think of
was that we are actually a legally wedded couple, but look at us now? We are likeplete strangers.
Now that I have finally woken up, I feelpletely different. So, if you are thinking what I’m thinking, I’d
like to stay with you like a regr couple. We can be a simple yet happy family of three when the baby
comes.”
Oscar’s heart skipped a beat.
“Mr. Clinton, when I am discharged, can we just live in peace like a normal family?” Amelia looked at
him expectantly.
Oscar’s eyes betrayed his tangled emotions before they slowly regained calmness. Retracting his
hand, he said, “You are still in a daze after the ident. Rest well and don’t think too much.”
A frosty chill invaded Amelia’s heart instantly. At the end of the day, to him, I am still Cassie’s
recement. I ampletely dispensable. He doesn’t have an ounce of true feelings for me.
Amelia concealed her emotions and smiled sweetly. “Mr. Clinton, I’m a little tired and I’d like to get
some rest. Go on with your day if you are busy. The nurses can take care of me here.”
Oscar tucked her in and said, “Just close your eyes and sleep. I’ll stay here with you.”
With conflicted emotions, Amelia closed her eyes. She thought she would not be able to sleep, but she
was knocked out within ten seconds.
Tiffany only found out about Amelia’s car ident when she called herter that night. Instantly, she
ignored her editors’ incessant calls and rushed to the hospital.
Without even knocking, Tiffany pushed the door open and cried out loud, “What happened to you,
Amelia? How did you get into a car ident? What did the doctor say? Are you all right?”
It was only then that she realized therge group of people in the room. They were either from the
Clinton family or their business associates.
Tiffany’s face began to burn. She chuckled nervously at her blunder before saying, “Oh, so everyone’s
here.”
Olivia, being the first to spot her, weed her quite heartily. “Oh, so it’s you, Tiffany. Come over here.
We were so worried when Amelia got into the ident we forgot to inform you. However, you are her
best friend, and it is so kind of you toe and see her.”
Tiffany smiled and replied, “As her mother-inw, Mrs. Clinton, I’m sure you are having a tough time
now that this happened to Amelia.”
Olivia tugged her closer to herself and said, “You are so sweet. The doctor says her fetus could have
been slightly startled, so she needs to have plenty of rest. I was just about to find something to
entertain her, but you appeared just at the right time. You stay with her, and I’ll bring the rest of the
people outside.”
Tiffany replied, “Take your time, Mrs. Clinton. You can leave Amelia with me.”
When the whole group left, Tiffany’s face fell instantly. “Amelia, how did you get into a car ident?
What did the doctor say? Are you all right? What about the baby?”
Amelia recounted the ident briefly andforted her by saying, “Tiff, I’m fine, so don’t worry about
me.”
Seeing that Amelia was not severely wounded, Tiffany finally rxed and teased her, “We are really
sisters in arms, with you getting into an ident not long after my ident. Thankfully, both you and
the baby are fine. Otherwise, I’ll definitely hunt down the culprit and chop him into pieces.”
Amelia burst outughing.
Tiffany then asked her seriously, “What are your ns now that the Clintons know that you are
pregnant?”
Amelia replied, “I don’t know yet. I can only take one step at a time now, considering how powerful and
influential the Clintons are. Before they knew I was pregnant, I could still have the child secretly. Now, I
think I can only give birth under their supervision.”
“What’s Oscar take on this?”
Amelia shook her head. “I can’t read his thoughts. We have been married for four years, but I’ve barely
been able to understand what really goes through his mind. He says I can have the child, but it looks
like he wants the child to remain with the Clintons. Even if we were to get a divorce, he wouldn’t allow
me to bring the child with me.”
Tiffany knew that the Clintons were the most influential family in the entire city. If they were to have a
divorce, Amelia would probably get a small settlement and she would never be allowed to bring the
child with her.
“Amelia, would you be willing to let the child stay with the Clintons?”
“It’s not like I have a choice here, do I? This ident has messed up all of my ns, so I am panicking
too. The only thing I can do now is to take things as theye,” Amelia said rather defeatedly.
Tiffany then came up with an idea. “Rx, Amelia. It is probably for the best that the Clintons know
about your pregnancy. Look, this is the Clintons’ first grandchild and they are fairly reasonable people.
On top of all that, Mrs. Clinton is fond of you. As long as you give birth to the child, I’m sure she will not
stand to see her grandchild without a mother. So as long as you keep yourself close to Mrs. Clinton,
you will definitely be able to control Oscar.”
Amelia nced at her and said suddenly, “I’ve thought of this before, but I don’t want to involve her in
my marriage unless it’s absolutely necessary.”
“Babe, are you out of your mind? How could you still say that when things have escted now? You
have to know that she’s your only support now.”
Amelia nodded.
She looked at Tiffany and said earnestly, “Tiff, out of all the Clintons, my mother-inw is the only elder
that treats me well. Given the choice, I wouldn’t want to lie to her nor use her. Do you understand?”
“Go ahead and be the kind soul. We’ll see if you can still be that magnanimous when Oscar divorce
you.”
Amelia fell into silence.

Tiffany added, “Look, Amelia, I don’t want to sound like some naggy olddy who mutters about the
divorce and the child all day long. It’s just that you are an intelligent woman, and I think you should start
nning for yourself. You can’t keep doing things for others and have nothing left for yourself. I can’t
even bear to look at your situation even though you are doing this willingly.”
Amelia reached out for the apples on the table and changed the topic. “Tiff, you must be parched after
talking so much. Peel this apple for me and let’s share it.”
Tiffany knew very well that Amelia was just trying to escape from reality. Hence, she obediently picked
up the apple before peeling and slicing it. With a piece of apple in her mouth, she asked, “Babe, did the
doctor say that you can have fruits?”
“He needs to observe me for another two days. I can still have some light food if there are no other
issues.”
“I’ll just finish this apple on my own then.”
“Go ahead. I meant to stuff your mouth with it anyway.” Amelia smiled.
“Babe, these words hurt, all right?”
Amelia sighed and said, “Tiff, I know you only want the best for me. However, I still don’t have the
perfect n yet, so I can only handle things as theye.”
Tiffany munched on the apple leisurely before changing the topic. “I spouted all those nonsense only
because I was too worried about you. The most important thing now is for you to regain your health.
We can talk about the restter.”
Amelia nodded.
After staying in the hospital for another fortnight, the Clintons had arranged for her discharge when the
doctor dered that both she and her child were in the clear. Olivia had arranged an extravagant
ceremony to wee Amelia home. When thetter saw the dozen Rolls Royces lined up outside the
hospital, her eyes nearly popped out in shock.
She turned to Olivia ufortably and said feebly, “Mom, I’m just getting discharged from the hospital.
You didn’t need to arrange for such fanfare. Others may think that you are weing a president or
something.”
Olivia led her into the first car. “You are very precious now that you are pregnant with a Clinton. Of
course, we have to wee you home with pomp and circumstance.”
Amelia felt rather pressured. “Mom, I could very well be carrying a girl. I am worried that you will be
disappointed if that is so, especially after all this fanfare.”
Olivia was not concerned. “Girls are good too, and they are the ones who are closest to their mother. I
am not too bothered with the gender of the child. As long as the child is a Clinton, I will love him or her.”
Amelia smiled. “Mom, you are so good to me. I’m afraid I could never leave you.”
“Then don’t leave. You are our daughter-inw, and when your dad and I pass away, Oscar will be
inheriting the entire family business. As his wife, you will naturally have to help him. In other words, all
these will eventually belong to you.”
Amelia merely smiled.
Olivia assured her, “Amelia, your most important job now is to take care of the baby. I assure you that
you are and you will be my only daughter-inw. If Oscar were to hurt you, I would not let him get away
with it.”
Amelia smiled.
The two of them got along very pleasantly, so it felt like it took no time before they arrived home. Their
merry group was all smiles until they saw the unweed guest on the couch.
Stephanie stood up and said beamingly, “Dad, Mom, Oscar, you are all back. Cassie and her parents
have been waiting for quite a while. If you took any longer, I’d have brought them to the hospital.”
Olivia snuck a re at Stephanie before turning to the Yard family. “What brings you here, Liz? You
should have told me earlier, and I could have informed our chef to prepare something for you.”
Charlie and Elizabeth stood up. Resentment shed across Elizabeth’s eyes as she saw that Amelia
was surrounded from left to right. She said spitefully, “Olivia, your daughter-inw is a little precious,
isn’t she? Does she really need such arge entourage to apany her as she gets discharged from
the hospital? Are you that afraid that she will fall?”
Olivia looked rather displeased. She used to think that the Yards were an educated and refined family.
This was why they could remain as friends even after Cassie had left the altar. Who would have
thought that the seemingly level-headed Elizabeth would say something like this?
To her, her daughter-inw was perfect in every way. In any case, it was not up to an outsider to make
anyments about her.
“Liz, that’s not very kind of you. Amelia is our only daughter-inw, and she is pregnant with our
precious grandchild. It is only natural that I protect and care for her. In fact, I’d get her the stars from the
skies if she asked for them.”
