Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 318
Chapter 318 Being Harsh
Amelia stood outside until Tiffany woke up and rushed out to find her. As her face was pale, Tiffany
asked hastily, “Babe, do you feel unwell? Or do your eyes hurt?”
shing a nonchnt smile, Amelia assured her, “I’m fine. It’s just that I haven’t enjoyed the breeze in
a while and ended up standing here longer than expected. After losing my eyesight, my hearing, touch,
and tastebuds had grown sharper. Back then, I didn’t think this was possible, but now that I’m blind, I
finally realized what it is like. It was fun to feel and hear the breeze whispering in my ear.”
Tiffany scrutinized her carefully.
“Babe, you’re unhappy,” she stated.

Amelia’s smile faltered.
Taking her hand, Tiffany asked, “Did someone bully you? Tell me about it.”
After regaining herposure, Amelia burst into giggles. “Everyone is kind here. No one would bully a
blind person like me.”
Tiffany felt bad to hear that.
“Amelia, don’t say that! You only lost your eyesight temporarily. You’ll recover after receiving treatment.
You’re gorgeous, smart, kind, andpassionate. Don’t belittle yourself!” she frowned and chided.
Amelia chuckled gaily.
“Let’s head in. After being roasted under the sun for a few hours, I feel my mind going nk. I’ve lost
my eyesight. If something goes wrong with my brain, I’d be a useless person for sure,” she joked.
Tiffany led her in after making sure she was all right.
After lunch, Tiffany was still hanging around when Jeremy said, “Amelia, I’ve hired a caregiver for you.
She’s twenty-five and grew up in the countryside. As she’s honest and responsible, she’ll be a great
caregiver for you. The chauffeur just brought her here. Do you want to see her now?”
Amelia turned in the direction she assumed Jeremy was standing and nodded.
“Thank you, Jeremy.”
Tiffany ced her fork down and frowned. “Jeremy, why did you hire a caregiver for Amelia to take care
of her around the clock? I can take care of her myself. Amelia doesn’t feelfortable around
strangers and can’t get used to a stranger taking care of her. Her eyesight loss is temporary, and she
isn’t a cripple. There’s no need to arrange for someone else as the person will be in her way.”
Amelia chuckled. “Tiff, Jeremy is being thoughtful. Let’s not waste his efforts. If there’s someone to take
care of me, you can focus on your writing, and Kurt won’t have to worry about me at work. It’s a win-win
situation. Cheer up!”
Tiffany nced at her and asked, “Really? Do you mean that?”
She knew how prideful Amelia was, for they had been best of friends for years. Though Amelia could
no longer see, she wouldn’t allow a stranger to take care of her daily life. Instead, she’d do her best to
do everything herself so she wouldn’t trouble the people around her.
Lowering her gaze, Amelia said gently, “I think it’s all right to hire a caregiver who’ll take care of me
around the clock. After all, I can’t see and can’t get around easily. If someone’s here to take care of me,
you won’t have to worry so much about me. Am I right?”
Tiffany assumed something must’ve happened during the past few hours when she was asleep.
Otherwise, Amelia wouldn’t have agreed to hiring someone.
With that thought in mind, Tiffany turned to Jeremy and ordered, “Jeremy, tell that girl to leave. I can
take care of Amelia, so there’s no need to hire a caregiver. It’ll be a waste of money. Besides, we don’t
know if she has an ulterior motive.”
Despite her instruction, Jeremy remained standing defiantly.
Amelia parted her lips to say, “Tiff, I was the one who asked Jeremy to hire a caregiver. It isn’t easy for
her to get the job, and I don’t think it’s nice to kick her out before she arrives. Let’s meet her. If she’s all
right, we shall hire her.”
Tiffany had no choice but toply.
They waited for around half an hour before the girl was brought in by a maid.
Tiffany studied the young girl, who seemed to be around twenty-five years old. Her skin was tanned,
but her features were all right. She had huge eyes, a dainty nose, and heart-shaped lips. With her oval
face, she resembled the celebrity, Angelina Jolie. Tall and attractive, she had a curvaceous figure that
was overall nice.
However, it felt strange to hire to be a caregiver, for she seemed a little unreliable. Though she was
tanned, she was pretty and attractive. One would believe her if she imed to be a fresh graduate.
Tiffany frowned, displeased with the candidate. What if she pretends to be obedient but mistreats
Amelia behind our backs? That isn’t great.
“What is your name? Where are you from? With your looks, you can definitely get another better job.
Why are you willing to be a caregiver?” As she wasn’t satisfied with the young girl, her questions grew
sharp.
The young girl replied calmly, “My name is Rory Sanders. I was born in Xenhall, a small town
neighboring Hallsbay in Horington. I’m a fresh graduate and didn’t manage to get a job in Beshya. After
finding out about this job that supposedly pays well, I decided to try it out. The person who introduced
this job to me is the butler’s rtive. If you agree to hire me, I’ll do my best. I haven’t received a cent
from my family after graduating, so I desperately need money now.”
Tiffany scrutinized her carefully. Hmm, she’s honest. But if she’s a fresh graduate, she won’t want to
work here long term. After spending some time with the rich and getting used to the wealthy lifestyle,
she’ll definitely get attracted by money and be materialistic no matter how honest she is.
Especially since she’s pretty. What if she uses Amelia to get what she wants?
She refused to let someone else use Amelia as a stepping stone. Though Amelia wasn’t a fool, she
was a soft-hearted person.
“Rory, I believe you got to know about your employer on the way here. Amelia here has lost her
eyesight temporarily and needs a caregiver to take care of her. You’re a university student, so I don’t
think you’re patient enough for such rough work. I’m sorry, but we can’t hire you,” Amelia rejected her
outright.
Rory asked calmly, “Why? Are you assuming I can’t take good care of her just because I’m a university
graduate?”
“No, we want a long-term caregiver. Perhaps the pay is enough for you to work here for a month or two,
but how long can you stay? Amelia’s an introvert, so she doesn’t like to get close to someone before
being forced to get another new caregiver. You’re not a suitable candidate. I’m sorry about that. We’ll
make sure you getpensated properly,” Tiffany said.
Instead of replying to her, Rory went to Amelia and introduced herself. “Hello, my name is Rory
Sanders. Beforeing here, I indeed nned to work for six months before resigning. But if my job is
to take care of someone as pretty as you, I’m willing to work long-term. Can you give me a chance?”
Amelia was stunned. She quickly regained herposure before chuckling. “All right, you can stay. If
you find a better job, let me know. We won’t force you to stay,” she assured her.
Rory had no idea Amelia was that easy going.
“Is that a yes?”
“You’re buttering up to me. Isn’t that because you want to work here?”
Rory was speechless. She hadn’t expected a blind woman to be this humorous. In fact, she thought
she would be tasked with taking care of a strange and hot-tempered blind person.
On the way here, she was extremely nervous.
Upset, Tiffany uttered, “Amelia…”
“What is it?” Amelia grinned.
Tiffany had no choice but to swallow her disapproving words. “Nothing.”
Turning to Jeremy, Amelia said, “Jeremy, I think Rory is a great candidate. Arrange a room for her.
She’ll take care of me in the day, and I’ll share a room with Tiff at night.”
“Got it.”
Jeremy left to arrange for Rory’s room. Meanwhile, Rory started checking the luxuriously decorated
vi out. Clearly, she had something else in mind.
Tiffany took in her reaction without saying a word.
It was clear that Rory wasn’t as honest and responsible as Jeremy imed. There was no way a pretty
girl with a bachelor’s degree would lower herself to be a caregiver. Either her family was poor, and she
was in need of money, or she wanted to use this job to get connected to the rich and powerful. After
getting into the upper-ss society, she’d get to know more wealthy people. With her connections, she
could use her degree to get a better job as a white-cor worker. That would be easier for her to marry
into a wealthy family.
Tiffany didn’t want to think of the worst, but Rory didn’t seem like she was born into a poor family.
Hence, the second possibility remained. By no means Tiffany was against a gold digger, but she
refused to let anyone use Amelia as a stepping stone to improve their lifestyles.
I won’t allow someone with an ulterior motive to remain by Amelia’s side.
“Rory, right? Do you find this vi gorgeous?” Tiffany queried with a half-smile as though she was
mocking Rory for being captivated by the luxurious interior design.
Rory immediately snapped back to reality and spotted Tiffany’s mocking gaze. Flustered, she
answered, “Of course. I was born in a small town. Before I entered university, I was practically living
under a rock. This is my first time seeing such a gorgeous vi. I’ve only ever seen them in TV shows.”
“Do you want to stay here forever? Or be the mistress of the vi?”
Rory’s expression froze.
Even Amelia felt Tiffany was overreacting. No one would feelfortable after hearing Tiffany’s rude
words, especially a young girl who was new here.
It wasn’t wrong for a woman to be materialistic. Besides, they didn’t even know this youngdy was
one. It didn’t seem right for Tiffany to make a judgment and mock the youngdy without holding back.
“Tiff,” Amelia cautioned.
Tiffany twitched her lips and smirked. “It was a joke. You won’t mind, right?”
Rory forced a smile.
Amelia said, “Rory, Tiff didn’t mean that. She loves to joke around, so take her words with a pinch of
salt. If you need anything, just let me know.”
“All right,” Rory responded obediently.
Tiffany became the bad cop. “Rory, we’re paying you handsomely. In order to prevent you from cking
off, I’ll set a few rules. If you can abide by the rules, I’ll allow you to stay. Otherwise, please pack up
and leave,” she announced.
Rory bobbed her head.
“First of all, stay at Amelia’s side around the clock. Second, we’ll sign a two-year contract. You aren’t
allowed to get another job within the timeframe. If I find out you’re secretly finding another job, you’ll
have topensate us. Third, don’t be noisy or talk behind our backs. Four, no making unreasonable
demands. Five, no bringing your boyfriend back. Six, no bringing your rtives here, too. We’re not a
shelter for refugees. Seven, when you work, don’t go flirting with other men,” Tiffany dered.
Rory frowned as she found Tiffany’sst few conditions extremely insulting.
Perhaps she had an ulterior motive for epting the job, but no woman would refuse to be pampered.
She hadn’t really done anything against thew, so she couldn’t fathom why Tiffany treated her so
badly.
However, she tried her best to suppress the anger in her.
Amelia spoke up. “Tiff, stop messing with her. Rory’s new, so don’t scare her away.”
Shrugging, Tiffany answered, “All right, then. I’ll ask Jeremy to print out the rules that were stated
earlier. Just make sure to abide by them.”
Tersely, Rory responded, “Yes.”
Ameliaforted her, “Rory, you must be tired from the journey. I believe you are starving. Let me ask
the chef to prepare something for you.”
Warmth spread all over Rory’s heart as her lips curled up. “Thank you.”
After Amelia arranged for Rory’s meal, Tiffany immediately interjected coolly, “Amelia, it’s almost one.
Time for your nap.” It was obvious how much she disliked Rory.
Amelia gave in and nodded obediently.
“Rory, you can go to your room and rest after finishing the food. You’ll start working tomorrow.”
“All right.” Rory pondered over it before she said, “On the way here, the chauffeur told me my employer
is Amelia Winters. Is it all right to address you as Amelia? It sounds more natural.”
“Sure. You can call me anything you want,” Amelia answered cordially.
Rory munched on her food happily. After finding out that Amelia was an easy-going person, the idea
she buried in her heart earlier popped up in her mind again. Just like Tiffany had guessed, she viewed
the position of a caregiver as a shortcut to get to know more wealthy people before marrying into an
affluent family. However, she realized most of them were arrogant and merely took her as a charity
case.
People from different worlds would rarely end up together as they were not meant to be together. Most
of the time, she would end up being aughingstock.
