Too Much to Bear, My Love Chapter 175
Amelia’s surgery went on until two in the morning. When the sign above the operating room remained
lit, the atmosphere in the corridor became even heavier. Nobody spoke a word. Only silence settled
among them all.
Suddenly, the doors to the operating room parted. Two nurses rushed out in a hurry. Everyone tensed
at the sight.
“Miss, how is my daughter-inw?” Olivia asked, feeling scared and anxious.
The nurses responded hurriedly, “The patient is hemorrhaging. She is in critical condition. We need a
blood transfusion. Who has the O blood type?”
“I do!” Olivia and Tiffany raised their hands simultaneously and eximed at the same time.
“Then the two of youe with me.”
Olivia and Tiffany trailed behind the nurses. Oscar and Owen followed in apprehension as well.
The two nurses did a quick body check for both women. Due to her heart condition, Olivia could not
give blood. Tiffany, on the other hand, was fit as a fiddle, so they took her blood.
Tiffany said fearlessly, “Miss, please take more. As long as you can save Amelia, take as much as you
need to. I am healthy. I can replenish the blood by eating more meat after this.”
The nursesughed at what she said, rxing the tense atmosphere a little.
Under Tiffany’s aggressive request, the nurses did take slightly more blood than they should. After
donating a rtively big amount of blood, Tiffany was visibly pale. Her hands were extremely cold too.
Olivia hugged her tight, her heart aching for the brave woman.
“Tiffany, are you alright?” asked Olivia.
The pale woman shook her head and answered a little feebly, “I’m okay. I’ll be alright after resting. As
long as Amelia can be saved, taking more of my blood is no big deal.”
Olivia sat her down on the bench and turned to her son. “Oscar, go buy something warm for Tiffany to
eat. She just donated a lot of blood. Her body is weak.”
Oscar nodded and went ahead swiftly.
Olivia held Tiffany’s hands tightly and thanked her. “Tiffany, I can’t thank you enough for today. You are
Amelia’s savior and our family’s savior. In the future, if you need anything, feel free to tell me. I will
definitely do my best to help you.”
Tiffany smiled and replied, “Mrs. Clinton, you’re too kind. Amelia is my friend. We have known each
other for many years. I only want her to get through this. I would willingly donate my kidney to her if she
needed it. Our friendship is not something everyone can understand.”
From that moment onwards, Olivia began to regard Tiffany with admiration.
She suddenly blurted, “I’ll make you my goddaughter.”
Tiffany’s eyes widened, and she looked at Olivia, bbergasted.
Olivia smiled and was about to say something when two nurses came out with a baby wrapped tightly
in a bundle. Tiffany, Olivia, and Owen immediately stood up and rushed over. Olivia looked at the baby
that was still sticky with blood. Her eyes reddened at the sight, and her lips trembled. She was
suddenly ovee with emotions.
Her lips trembled for some time before she found her voice. “This is my grandson?”
The two nurses nodded and said, “Madam, we need to bathe the baby. If you would like to watch, you
maye over to the newborn nursery. This baby is the bravest baby that I have ever seen. Despite
being in an ident, he was born without anyplications. It’s nothing short of a miracle.”
The three of them let out a breath of relief. At least the baby was safe. Now they only hoped for Amelia
to survive as well.
Olivia instructed her husband, “Dear, you stay put with Tiffany. I’ll follow them to have a look at the
baby.”
Owen nodded in agreement and understanding.
After Olivia went with the nurses, only Tiffany and Owen were left to stand in front of the operating
room. The atmosphere suddenly became deafening.
Owen was a man who looked graceful and gentlemanly. Even though he was over sixty years old, he
knew how to take good care of himself. Therefore, he looked like a middle-aged man who was slightly
over forty. On the whole, he was quite charismatic.
If it weren’t for her close rtionship with Amelia, Tiffany would have a good impression of him.
However, Amelia’s life with the Clintons wasn’t as smooth sailing as it seemed on the surface. That was
why Tiffany felt guarded around this man, even if he seemed refined.
Owen coughed a little and said gently, “Tiffany… Is it alright if I call you by your name?”
Surprise shed across Tiffany’s eyes, but she replied politely, “Of course.”
He pointed to the long bench in the corridor and said, “I noticed you don’t look so well. I think it would
be better if you sit down and get some rest.”
Upon hearing him say that, Tiffany was even more surprised. She had never expected Mr. Clinton, who
was renowned to be ruthless in the corporate world, to one day speak to her so amiably.
She suddenly felt overwhelmed.
“Err… okay.” Her response came slightly slow, but she sat down all the same.
Owen said, “Tiffany, it’s all thanks to you today. Since Olivia would like to take you as her goddaughter,
we will hold a party after Amelia gets well. We will invite our good friends from the businessmunity
and introduce you to them. I have heard that you are a frence writer. Coincidentally, I know a few
CEOs of some publishing houses. We will also get you a reliable manager and groom you to be a
top writer in our country.”
Tiffany waspletely shell-shocked by now. She could not believe that Mr. Clinton was offering to
support her. One must know that the man was considered a leader in the local businessmunity.
With his support, one could achieve sess much earlier and face fewer obstacles. This was the kind
of chance many people often dreamt of. She certainly did not expect that such a great opportunity
would just fall into herp.
However, Tiffany did not let the surprise get to her head.
She replied rationally, “Mr. Clinton, thank you for your kindness, but there is no need for that. I am just
an ordinary person. Putting in my honest work and getting the pay that is enough to sustain myself is
good enough. As for taking me in as a goddaughter, I think Mrs. Clinton only said it at the heat of the
moment. It should not be taken seriously.”
It was Owen’s turn to be surprised.
People would normally coyly reject him when given this offer, but their eyes would still shine with
desire. He observed Tiffany closely and found that she really did not want to have anything to do with
the Clintons.
“Olivia does not speak lightly. She earnestly wishes to have you as her goddaughter. Being rted to
the Clintons would not only raise your reputation — it will also bring you unimaginable benefits. So
many people dream of this chance day and night, but you’re letting it pass you by?” asked Owen
tentatively.
At that, Tiffany let out a dryugh.
She was acting restrained in front of Owen, but the look in her eyes was definitely earnest.
“Mr. Clinton, what I have to say next may seem pompous. Forgive me, but honestly speaking, I do not
wish to have anything to do with the Clintons. If it hadn’t been for Amelia’s marriage to Oscar, I would
not have agreed for her to get involved with your family in any way. The Clintons are a prominent
family. The waters are too deep. Amelia and I are children from ordinary families. Just having a
thousand or so to buy something slightlyvish would have made our day. Despite living in luxury, you
never know when an ident may happen. Amelia, who is lying on the operating table right now, is
proof of that.”
Pausing for a bit, Tiffany then said, “I thought a car ident like this would only happen in one of my
novels. I didn’t expect it would happen in real life. To be frank, so many bad things have happened to
Amelia. I am actually quite repulsed by the members of the Clinton family.”
As she said that, she smiled sheepishly. “Mr. Clinton, please take it as me speaking rashly because I’m
still young. We should not go ahead with this whole goddaughter business. I do not want to be called a
gold digger who istching on to the Clintons for money.”
Listening to her, Owen was surprisingly not angered.
Tiffany pursed her lips and suddenly added, “Mr. Clinton, I’m sorry. I have said too much. Perhaps it is
because of Amelia that I am quite prejudiced against the Clinton family.”
Owen shook his head and replied, “No, I think you are very truthful, and I admire your personality. You
and Amelia are quite alike. I was too fixated on social standing, so I treated Amelia unfairly. Now that
she is fighting for her life in the operating room, I reflected upon many things. I realize now that I really
did mistreat her far too many times.”
The look in Tiffany’s eyes becameplicated.
Owen peered at the sign above the operating room that was still illuminated. He suddenly sighed and
said, “I should let my children live the life they want. If Amelia ovees this obstacle in life, I will not
interfere in her marriage with my son anymore. Too much interference on my end would only put me in
a difficult position.”
Tiffany chuckled lightly. Mr. Clinton was rtable like this. At least he was not as despicable as what
she had previously thought.
Oscar soon came back with three sets of chicken soup and buns. He passed two of them to Owen and
Tiffany. “Dad, where’s Mom?” he asked.
Owen epted the soup and answered, “Amelia has given birth to a son. Your mom has gone off to
look at the baby.”
The man’s hand paused mid-action. His heart jolted at the news, and his blood pumped furiously. An
indescribable feeling filled his heart. It was sweet and satisfying. He felt a flurry of emotions gather all
at once and was ovee with fervor.
The thrill of officially bing a father stunned him momentarily. The intense emotion he felt caused
his ability to manage his expression to be thrown out of a window.
Tiffany, who was busy observing him, asked, “Oscar, why are you like this? Amelia gave you a son! Are
you really that unhappy about it?”
Oscar finally regained his senses.
“Where’s Amelia?” he asked; he was worried about her.
Tiffany’s stony expression rxed at his question.
Humph! At least you remembered Amelia first instead of being overjoyed at having a son. Otherwise, I
would do everything in my power to stop her from being with you.

“She’s still in the operating room. We don’t know what’s the situation in there,” answered Tiffany in a
low voice. She looked at the soup in her hands; it no longer looked appetizing.
The operation had gone on for far too long. The longer it was, the more despair filled them.
Oscar’s expression was solemn, but he urged, “You better eat something. If Amelia wakes up and sees
you looking as white as a ghost, she’ll think I am bullying you again.”
Tiffany nodded and took a sip obediently. She did not have any energy left to argue with Oscar.
Amelia’s uncertain condition had made her feel extremely despondent, so the soup she had in her
hands seemed to have instantly lost its taste.
On the other hand, Oscar gazed at the operating room with his lips pressed together. The tion from
bing a father had receded. Deep in his heart, he felt a gap widen. It was like a piece of his heart
was missing. He had a feeling that the most important thing in his life was slipping away. The feeling
made him feel utterly terrified.
