Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 252
Chapter 252 The Family Is In A Total Chaos
Amelia turned around to leave but Stephanie grabbed her by the hand. “Amelia, your appearance is
your only saving grace right now! You’re unworthy of being with Oscar! A blind woman like yourself with
no impressive family background doesn’t deserve to be a part of the Clintons!”
Amelia brushed her hand off and got extremely defensive as she was on the verge of breaking down at
that point.
“Mind your own business, Stephanie! You have no right to interfere with our marriage!”
“I just feel bad for Oscar! He may have been pretty cruel to me before, but I can’t stand seeing him
suffer like this! There are tons of beautiful women around him! What makes you think you deserve him?
You’re nothing but a blind b*tch, you hear? A blind b*tch!”
Hearing the word “blind” triggered Amelia instantly, causing her to wrap her arms around her head as
she shouted like a madwoman, “No! I’m not blind yet! You’re the blind one! Don’t you dare call me
blind!”
Calling Amelia blind was like rubbing salt on her wound and she refused to let anyone do so.
“You are blind! What’s wrong with me calling a blind person blind, huh?” Stephanie really took pleasure
in Amelia’s suffering, especially since she was humiliated by her before.
“I’m not blind, no!” Amelia mumbled repeatedly.
“I hear blind people can’t even walk by themselves. They need assistance on everything they do,
including brushing their teeth and getting dressed. They’re practically just useless cripples at that point!
If I were you, I wouldn’t dare remain in our family! Everyone’s going tough at Oscar for marrying a
blind woman, and it’s all your fault! I can’t help but feel bad for him just thinking about it!” Stephanie
said with a sadistic look on her face.
The next thing she knew, Amelia charged forward and tackled her to the ground. Ignoring her fractured
left arm, Amelia sat on top of her and began raining blows while shouting maniacally, “I told you not to
call me blind! I told you, I told you! Take this, you b*tch! Oscar and I are truly in love with each other! He
won’t be disgusted with me, and I won’t embarrass him either!”
As Amelia had always been calm and patient, Stephanie didn’t expect her to react so violently and was
completely caught off guard.
After helplessly taking a beating for what seemed like forever, Stephanie came back to her senses and
tried to defend herself. However, despite being skinny and wounded, Amelia was incredibly powerful
due to her berserk state of mind.
There was nothing Stephanie could do except dodge left and right while yelling desperately, “Help!
Help! Save me, Mom!”
By the time everyone arrived at the scene, all they saw was Amelia clobbering away at Stephanie who
looked extremely disheveled with her hair in aplete mess.
Oscar quickly ran forward and cautiously wrapped his arms around Amelia’s waist while whispering
gently, “Calm down, Amelia. It’s me.”
His voice was so soothing andforting that it slowly brought Amelia back from the edge of madness.
“That’s right, just rx… I’m here with you…” Oscar continued.
After turning around to look at him and shifting her gaze back toward Stephanie on the ground, Amelia
realized what she had just done.
Her lips began to twitch as she tried to exin herself, but she couldn’t seem to get the words out of
her mouth.
Oscar held a finger to her lips and said, “Shh, I know what you want to say. Don’t worry, no one’s going
to hurt you now that I’m around.”
Seeing as she was finally calming down, Oscar carefully held her left hand where the bandages had
come off.
“Does it hurt?” he asked gently while frowning worriedly.
She didn’t feel anything when she was in a frenzied state earlier, but the excruciating pain kicked in
when he asked her about the injury.
Oscar then scooped her into his arms, ignoring Olivia and Owen as he carried her into the house. “I’m
the victim here, Oscar! She beat me up! How could you be so biased toward her?” Stephanie shouted
angrily from behind with her hair still in a mess.
Oscar simply pretended to not hear her and carefully sat Amelia down on the sofa in the living room.
He then whipped out his phone and gave Robert a call. “Hello, Mr. Lancester. Could you have Dr.
Johnstone over? Amelia’s arm is injured.”
He then hung up the phone after a brief exchange.
Amelia shed him an apologetic look and said, “I’m sorry.”
Oscar’s frown deepened as he turned to look at her. “I don’t want you to apologize, Amelia. I can
tolerate everything else as long as you’re all right.”
Amelia kept her head down like a child who had done something wrong.
Oscar lifted her chin up and looked her in the eyes as he asked, “Tell me, why did you hit Stephanie?”
Amelia’s eyes lit up upon hearing that.
“Did she do something to piss you off?”
Amelia shook her head in response.
“Amelia, you’re a beautiful, strong, independent, and big-hearted woman. I know you have your
reasons for everything you do. Tell me if Stephanie was really in the wrong, and I’ll help you teach her a
lesson. Your body isn’t fully recovered yet, so I don’t want anything bad happening to you. It hurts my
heart to see you get hurt, all right?” Oscar said while cing his hand on his chest.
Amelia felt her heart ache when she heard that.
Oscar had been like a perfect husband to hertely, but that perfection only made her feel even more
insecure about herself. She was losing self-confidence as a result of her eyes going blind as she feared
people would mock Oscar for it.
Because she loved him way too much, she didn’t want to burden a perfect man like him with her
disability.
Had he been a little meaner toward her like how he was cold to her back then, she would’ve been able
to find herself an excuse to stay by his side.
However, the thousands of excuses she came up with had all been denied by her subconscious mind
at that point.
Oscar misunderstood her pained expression and asked, “Is your arm hurting really badly?”
Amelia shook her head and whispered softly, “Aren’t you mad at me for hitting Stephanie?”
“I know you must have your reasons for hitting her. You’re not the kind of person who would act
unreasonably,” Oscar replied.
Amelia felt her heart racing when she heard that.
Owen and Olivia held Stephanie steady as they brought her into the house, and Amelia was shocked
when she saw her all bruised and battered.
Da*n, I can’t I got so crazy over those words she said! Her face is so bruised that I can barely
recognize her at all! Back then, I would’ve scoffed if someone told me I would lose my cool and attack
someone. Such a barbaric and unreasonable act simply isn’t something I would do, and yet I ended up
doing it anyway…
Amelia tried to stand up but Oscar stopped her before she could do so.
She shed him a confused look, but he simply shook his head in response. It felt like he was saying,
“Don’t be afraid, I’ll take care of everything.”
Olivia sat Stephanie down on the sofa before turning toward Amelia as she asked, “Stephanie said she
was taking a walk with you, but you attacked her all of a sudden for no reason. Is that true?”
Amelia’s parents had always forbidden her from getting physical with anyone, but she felt no remorse
for what she did when she saw the state of Stephanie’s face. Even so, she was still in the wrong for
landing the first blow.
“I’m sorry, Mom.”
Olivia stared deeply at her as she said earnestly, “Amelia, I know you and Stephanie don’t like each
other, but she has changed a lottely. She has gotten more mature and apologized to you, so you
shouldn’t hit her even if you’re still mad at her.”
Amelia kept quiet as she was indeed in the wrong.
Oscar held her by the hand and spoke up. “Mom, there must be some kind of misunderstanding here.
Amelia isn’t the impulsive type, so I believe Stephanie must’ve started the fight. Amelia wouldn’t have
hit her if she didn’t.”
Oscar is so biased that he just pinned the me entirely on Stephanie?
Olivia frowned at the thought of that and was clearly displeased with Oscar’s biased behavior.
Stephanie held a hand against her cheek and pretended to look all pitiful as she said, “This is all my
fault, Mom. I shouldn’t have angered Amelia by asking about her injury and her scuffle with Carter in
our house. I was just worried about her, that’s all! I didn’t think she’d go out of control like this! This is
all my fault!”
Everyone had strange looks on their faces after hearing that.
Oscar stared deeply at Stephanie, causing her to shudder a little as she continued, “I’m sorry, Oscar! I
didn’t mean to talk about Amelia like that! Please don’t hit me and have those bodyguards strip me
again! I’m your sister, remember? I won’t mess with Amelia ever again, so please forgive me!”
The look in Oscar’s eyes grew even colder.
Olivia nced at Oscar in shock before shifting her gaze back toward Stephanie. “Stephanie, what did
you just say? What’s all this about hitting you and stripping you? When did this happen?”
Stephanie pretended to be terrified as she mumbled incoherently, “Don’t ask me, Mom! I didn’t say
anything! Amelia didn’t ask Oscar to kidnap me, and he didn’t have his bodyguards strip me so they
could mock me like I’m a prostitute!”
The looks on Owen and Olivia’s faces changed instantly.
“Oscar, is what Stephanie said true?” Olivia asked while ring at him.
Oscar pursed his lips as he realized he had underestimated Stephanie. Da*n, she’s smart enough to
wait till the right time to tell on me for maximum effect…
“I never told Oscar to kidnap her, Mom. I won’t deny that I’m at fault for hitting her today, but Oscar isn’t
the kind who would do such a thing!” Amelia spoke up as she felt bad for Oscar. Siblings shouldn’t be
fighting like this! This is such a terrible oue that we can’t even tell who’s at fault anymore!
Stephanie shot Amelia a vicious re before burying herself into Olivia’s arms as she whispered,
“She’s right, Mom. I was just bbering nonsense! Don’t be mad at her! I don’t want to be sold off
because I won’t be able to see you again!”
She was determined to ruin Oscar’s reputation as much as she could.
“Is that true, Oscar?” Olivia questioned him angrily with a hand held against her heaving chest.
To her surprise, Oscar admitted to it honestly and said, “Yes, it is. She had to pay for what she did, and
I’ve actually been going easy on her with those punishments. I told her I wouldn’t just hit her if she
dared mess with Amelia again.”
Olivia’s eyes went wide with disbelief. “She’s your sister, Oscar! How could you…”
“Mom, have you forgotten that Amelia and Tony nearly died in that car ident? What’s wrong with us
teaching her a little lesson?” Oscar snapped back at her.
Olivia went silent upon hearing that.
“Oscar, you can’t talk to your mother like that!” Owen shouted.
Oscar quickly lowered his head and apologized. “I’m sorry, Mom. I don’t mean to be rude or anything. I
just don’t believe that Amelia would hit Stephanie for no reason. Stephanie had iting, and I don’t
n on finding out who is really at fault here. I’ll move back into our apartment in the city tomorrow with
Amelia and Tony. It’s clear that things aren’t going to be peaceful if we all live together. You and Dad
cane and visit us anytime if you miss Tony.”

With his arm wrapped his arm around Amelia, he stood up and continued, “Mom, Dad, I’ll be bringing
her upstairs now. Her arm is fractured, and the doctor will be here soon. We might have to get her
hospitalized if it’s serious.”
Amelia was struggling and looked like she had something to say, but Oscar simply ignored her and
brought her upstairs.
Stephanie’s eyes went wide in disbelief as she asked, “Mom, this is all my fault! Oscar and Amelia are
never going to forgive me, are they?”
Olivia simply pressed her hand against her heaving chest and kept quiet. I’ve never expected things to
turn out like this… My son and daughter-inw who were closest to me have now be estranged,
and my daughter has been beaten up badly. The entire Clinton family is in total chaos and I can’t even
tell whose fault it actually is! Whatever peace and harmony we once had is now gone…
Her head throbbed at the thought of that.
