Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 632
Chapter 632 Cut The Ties
After lunch, Oscar was about to return to his office after sending Olivia off. Unexpectedly, Isabe
tagged along with him shamelessly and called out, “Oscar!”
Oscar halted in his tracks and turned to utter grimly, “Isabe Walker, heed my words. Don’t ever think
that you can do as you like in the office just because you are now the goddaughter of the Clintons. I
hope you can at least try to prove yourself by contributing to thepany. What’s the point of having a
high educational qualification if you’re just a good-for-nothing employee?”
Unfazed by his words, Isabe chuckled. “Oscar, I believe I’ve put effort at work. Otherwise, you
wouldn’t have appointed me as the director, would you? Since Aunt Olivia has announced to everyone
that I’m her goddaughter, I’ll mind my manners. From now onwards, we are considered siblings. Thus, I
hope you can trust me, putting aside all the prejudice against me. Let’s try to get on well with each
other, okay?”
Looking intently into her eyes, Oscar stated, “I hope so.”
After that, he turned to step into the building without sparing her another nce. Isabe stood rooted
to the spot as she gazed at his retreating figure till it was gradually out of sight. “Oscar, even though
you’ve remarried, I’m convinced I’ll still be able to snatch you from that woman. As long as you’re still
alive, it’s just a matter of time before you be mine!” she hissed,ughing slyly as she strutted into
the building on her heels.
Momentster, she brought various types of documents to the top floor. After stepping out of the
elevator, she headed straight to the secretary’s office and asked courteously, “Yuliana, is Mr. Clinton in
his room? I’ve brought quite a few copies of documents for his signature.”
Thetter led her to Oscar’s room and knocked on the door. “Mr. Clinton, Ms. Walker is here.”
“Let here in!” Oscar’s voice sounded from the room.
Isabe entered with a stack of documents and stated formally, “Mr. Clinton, these are the proposals on
the projects we’re coborating with Garnend Technology and Yendall Technology. Please take a
look and ce your signature if everything is fine for you.”
Oscar took the documents from her and roughly scanned through the copies. After ensuring everything
was fine, he signed them ordingly.
Shortly after, he handed Isabe the signed documents andplimented, “You’ve done well this
round. I predict ourpany will gain a profit of approximately forty-six percent. Anyway, I hope you
can keep it up to prove yourpetency at work to me.”
In an instant, Isabe’s lips curved into a smile. The former’s words had seemingly cheered her up.
“Mr. Clinton, thanks for yourpliment. If there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to work first,” she replied
courteously with a smile.
Oscar only nodded without uttering any words.
Meanwhile, Isabe turned to walk away swiftly, bottling up her emotions.
Deep down, she had made up her mind toe up with a different approach. Instead of clinging to
Oscar, she decided to take things step-by-step by impressing him with herpetence at work
gradually. Hmph! I’m sure Oscar will be impressed by me via our frequent interaction at work! Sooner
orter, I’ll win his heart!
On the other hand, Oscar was unaware of what was ying in Isabe’s mind. He was more than
happy when thetter seemed to be enlightened and stopped entangling him. Feeling relieved, he
buried himself in his work the whole afternoon.
By the time he received Amelia’s call, it was already six in the evening. She asked him not to fetch her
as she would go straight to the hospital.
“Wait for me a while. I’ll go over to fetch you now. Let’s go to the hospital together,” Oscar told her.
“Okay! Give me a call when you get here. I’ll grab some time for my design drawing while waiting for
you,” Amelia replied casually.
“Okay!” After hanging up, Oscar strode out of his office right away. Coincidentally, Isabe stepped out
of the elevator adjacent to the one he was in at the same time as him.
“Oscar!” she called out to him at once.
When Oscar turned instinctively, she shrugged her shoulders, pretending to ask mischievously, “It’s
past office hours. I don’t have to call you Mr. Clinton now, do I?”
“It’s up to you,” Oscar replied indifferently.
Isabe kept a formal distance of a few inches from Oscar while walking abreast with him. “Oscar, a
great idea pops into my mind. I’m thinking of discussing with you theunch of the new products for the
coming season. Do you have time now?” she asked warily.
“I’m busy now. You can bring it up during our meeting at nine tomorrow morning,” he responded
nonchntly.
Isabe had no choice but to sh him a faint smile. “Okay! That sounds fine too.”
After a pause, she stated casually, “You seem to be in a rush. I’d better don’t interrupt you then. Bye!”
Oscar only nodded cidly and walked away.
After he hopped into the car and sped off, Isabe trailed behind him in her car.
Soon, Oscar received a call from one of his bodyguards observing everything discreetly. “Boss, Ms.
Walker is trailing behind you. Do you need us to do something?”
“Yeah, just go ahead.” After hanging up, Oscar stared at Isabe trailing behind his car through the
rear-view mirror. He could not help snorting inwardly. Pfft! A leopard never changes its spots!
Meanwhile, Isabe was overconfident and did not sense anything amiss. After Oscar made an abrupt
turn at a corner and stepped on the elerator, she was about to make a turn too. Nheless, a car
appeared out of the blue in front of her, blocking her way. Subsequently, her car almost collided with it,
scaring the daylight out of her. Fortunately, she managed to stop it at the eleventh hour with her
emergency brake. Flustered, she unbuckled her seat belt and was about to confront the reckless driver.
However, the car sped away with a swoosh.
Isabe gaped at the car speeding away. A surge of fury welled up from within her. Damn it! What a
day! I’ve had enough when Oscar hardly spared me any gaze. Even a reckless driver is getting on my
nerves now. How could he have the guts to block my way!
She managed to jot down the car te number before the car was out of sight. After that, she made a
call to get someone to check on it. Nheless, she was informed that nothing could be traced about
the car owner. In other words, the car owner could be purchasing the car with a fabricated ID card, or it
could be a stolen car. Since there was still a record for the car te number, they could only deduce
that the car owner had bought it with a fake ID card.
“Sh*t!” she cussed, blowing a fuse. Nothing seems to be on the right track today! Even an unidentified
driver dares to step on my toes!
At the same time, Oscar’s bodyguard, the so-called unidentified reckless driver, gave him a call and
updated him, “Boss, I’ve shrugged her off.”
“Okay! I got it.” After hanging up, Oscar headed straight to fetch Amelia and reached the hospital after
a short while.
“Dad, Mom,” they greeted Dominic and Mnie the moment they stepped into the ward.
Dominic’s eyes lit up. “Ah! You’re here!”
Amelia handed him the exquisitely packed food. “I requested Oscar to help me get these from the
restaurant earlier for you and Mom. Please dig in while it’s still hot.”
Dominic took over from her at once, gesturing to Mnie to take it from him.
In the meantime, James was checking on Spencer. Thus, Amelia asked him with great concern,
“James, how’s Spencer doing?”
After a brief examination, he shed her a smile. “He’s recovering a lot faster than expected. As long
as he continues to have a good rest, I presume he’s able to be discharged two weekster.”
Hearing that, Amelia heaved a sigh of relief.
After catching a glimpse of his watch, James told them, “Oscar, Amelia, stay here for a chat with Mr.
and Mrs. Winters. I’ve to get going to check on the other patients. See youter.”
Amelia and Oscar took a seat on the sofa next to the elders. Looking at Dominic munching the food,
Amelia reassured them, “Dad, Mom, since Spencer is recovering well, you don’t have to worry
anymore.”
After swallowing a mouthful of food, Dominic raised his head to look at Amelia earnestly. “Amelia, your
mom and I are very grateful to you. If not for you, we won’t be able to afford such arge sum of
medical fees, and I bet he can only endure till hisst moments. We shouldn’t have misunderstood you
previously and hurt your feelings with our oppressive words. I apologize for everything.”
After saying that, he gave Mnie a nudge.
Thetter raised her head awkwardly with a hint of embarrassment written all over her face.
“A-Amelia, I’m sorry. I tended to act impulsively before this, as I was caught off guard by Spencer’s
critical condition. It’s my fault. Just vent your anger at me if you feel like it,” she stammered sheepishly.
Evidently, it was unbearable for her to exercise restraint in the face of Amelia.
Amelia felt a ripple of warmth flowing into her heart. At least Dominic and Mnie did not turn a blind
eye to all her sacrifices to the Winters family.

“Mom, please don’t say so. Regardless of anything, you’re still family to me. I’ll never me you for
anything. After Spencer recovers, Oscar and I n to buy you and Dad a new house in our hometown.
You can move there with Spencer after that. It’s an ideal ce for his recuperation, too,” Amelia stated
gently.
The hint of inexplicitplex emotion in Mnie’s eyes intensified as time psed. At the same time,
a surge of guilt started welling up from within her. It never crossed her mind that Amelia would repay a
grudge with a favor despite her oppressiveness toward her previously. Instead of harboring a grudge
against her, Amelia was even making perfect arrangements for them.
Undeniably, she had hardly showered Amelia with love since thetter was young. In fact, she had
been treating her with utter indifference. It never urred to her that when they were in deep water,
and whilst the other members from the Winters family kept a distance away from them, Amelia would
be the only one giving them a hand. Thus, she could not help feeling suffocated by the intense guilt.
“Amelia, I’m sorry.” At the thought of that, she let out a deep sigh before breaking into tears.
Nonplussed, Amelia asked incoherently, “Mom, please don’t cry! Did I say anything wrong?”
After crying her eyes out for a while, Mnie wiped her tears away in embarrassment and lowered her
head. After a sniffle, she mumbled, “I tend to overthink and was easily swayed by emotions as I grow
older. Amelia, I’m grateful that you are not ming me. Don’t worry. After Spencer recovers, your dad
and I will leave this city with him. We won’t trouble you again. I know you must have had it rough since
you are married to an heir of such a prominent family. Hence, we should stop crossing paths with you
so we won’t put you in a tight spot again.”
“Mom, don’t get me wrong! I never mean that!” Amelia uttered apprehensively.
“Amelia, I don’t mean that too. I only feel that we shouldn’t bother you again. After Spencer is
discharged, let’s cut ties with each other,” Mnie stated resolutely.
Amelia was rendered speechless.
In the end, she did not even realize how she dragged herself out of the hospital. She could only recall
how she forced herself into replying to Mnie briefly with the word “okay” before the atmosphere in
the ward tensed up. When she eventually came to her senses, she had already stepped out of the
hospital.
Oscar was worried stiff as he caught sight of Amelia, who had seemingly fallen into a trance. Wrapping
his arms around her, he consoled her, “Try to think positively. After cutting ties with them, all your
disgruntling moments in more than twenty years wille to an end. With that, nobody will be able to
hurt you by exposing your pathetic past again.”
After regaining herposure, Amelia smiled bitterly. “The Winters family still ends up giving up on
me.”
Unequivocally, she had overestimated herself. She used to think she was tough and would not mind
about it.
Her longing for her adopted parents’ attention throughout the years seemed to have transformed into a
bone-deep persistence. It seemed she would never stop brooding over it as long as they did not give
her anypliments.
“You still have me and Tony,” Oscar murmured to her reassuringly.
Amelia embraced Oscar tightly, feeling the soothing warmth of his body. In a split second, it was as
though the frigidness enveloping her in the ward moments ago was gone.
She mumbled sorrowfully, “Oscar, how could they give up on me without a second thought?”
“It’s because they are not worthy of being your parents,” Oscar consoled her.
Amelia heaved a silent sigh. “Since they’ve given up on me, what’s the point of dwelling on it again.”
After quite a while, she pulled herself together and said softly, “Let’s go back now. Tony is still waiting
for us.”
At the sight of Amelia low in spirits, Oscar’s eyes darkened. As he raised his head and turned to look in
the direction of the hospital, he doubted if he should teach an insolent Mnie a lesson.
Nevertheless, he dismissed the idea as he foresaw Amelia would be distressed if she tended to know
about it. He walked her to the side of the passenger seat, opened the door, and helped her in. After
that, he moved to the other side and hopped in the driver’s seat before speeding off.
