Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 716
Chapter 716 Humiliation
Amelia tried to pout but gritted her teeth in pain when she attempted to move the muscles in her
face. She covered her chin and said in a loud voice, “Dad, someone stuffed me into a sack and beat
me up! I don’t know who did this, but you must avenge me!”
Benjamin did, after all, love his only daughter. Seeing her in this battered state distressed him greatly.
He said, “Sean, send out someone to investigate who had the guts to do this in the open. Not to
mention right in front of a hospital! The Huttons can’t be bullied in such an undignified manner!”
“Of course, Dad.” Before Sean left, he gave Amelia a meaningful look. His gut instinct told him that it
was probably Oscar who did this.
As soon as Sean left, Benjamin gave Amelia a pointed look, his expression strangely calm. This gave
her goosebumps.
“Dad, what’s the matter with you? Why are you looking at me like that?” asked Amelia timidly.
“Amelia, be honest with me,” said Benjamin bluntly. “Did you p*ss off anyone?”
“Dad, you know me! Apart from going shopping or partying with my friends or even extended trips to
different cities, how would I offend anyone? But if you’re asking me if there’s anyone who dislikes me
and wants to cause trouble, that’s another story,” replied Amelia thoughtfully.
Amelia did not have any true enemies, in the sense of the word. Sure, there were asional spats with
her female friends over men, but she got along with men quite well otherwise. She could not think of
anyone cruel enough to attack her so viciously. If she had been discovered anyter, she would have
either sustained severe injuries or, worse still, died.
“Dad, you must avenge me! Otherwise, my attackers will think that we’re nothing but a powerless and
compliant family,” eximed Amelia passionately.
Benjamin stood up and put his hands behind his back. “Given that your mother is in the hospital, you
should stop causing any more trouble. I’ve asked your brother to investigate this matter thoroughly.
However, you must not aggravate your mother, or I will cut you off from funds.”
Amelia was upset and muttered softly, “Dad, I’m also injured. Don’t you care?”
“Your mother hasn’t woken up yet, and something bad has befallen you. How am I supposed to be
concerned?”
“It’s been so long. Has she not awakened yet?”
Benjamin looked grim, nced at her, and pursed his lips.
“Dad, I want to see Mom. Since she’s still unconscious after so long, I’m getting rather worried.”
“Take care of yourself first, and don’t cause any more trouble for me,” said Benjamin, ignoring her
request. “Focus on recuperating. I’ll take care of your mother. Since these are just flesh wounds, you’ll
be fine on your own.”
“Dad, are you not going to stay with me?”
Benjamin red at her angrily.
“You’ll be fine! Besides, there will be a nurse to help you out. Stop messing around. Your mother still
needs more care than you do.” Having said that, Benjamin left without sparing his daughter another
nce.
Amelia leaned heavily on the hospital bed, but she forgot that her back was hurt. She grimaced and
hissed in pain.

Just as she was left to feel sorry for herself, the door handle began to turn. The door opened with a
“click.” Before she could see who it was, she hurriedly picked up a pillow from her bed and hurled it at
the person who came in. “Get out!” she yelled.
She was already so humiliated. She couldn’t bear to let anyone else witness her in this state andugh
at her misery.
When she realized who it was that she threw the pillow at, Amelia stared agape at him, unable to say a
word.
“O-Oscar?”
Amelia never thought that Oscar woulde back to see her, and without his wife at that. Does this
mean he has eyes for me? Is he holding back because of my sister?
Amelia’s heart was immediately set aze with passion.
Oscar came over with the pillow and looked down at her, whose face looked like a bloated fish.
“Fancy seeing you here, Oscar! Did youe over because you heard about me being beaten up?”
asked Amelia coquettishly.
Oscar smirked and said coldly, “No, I’m just here to see if you are dead.”
Amelia’s face froze, and the smile on her lips disappeared in an instant.
“Oscar, are you making fun of me with such unkind words?” she asked sternly.
“How does it feel being beaten up in a sack?” was Oscar’s reply.
Amelia’s pupils shrank and she looked at Oscar in disbelief. She had not expected that the tragedy that
had befallen her was orchestrated by Oscar.
With a pained expression, she said, “Oscar, was it you who sent them after me?” She was left with a
bitter taste in her mouth as she uttered this.
“I’m just giving you a small lesson in propriety, humility, righteousness, and shame. If you still want to
pursue me, I don’t mind hiring a few men to teach you how to leave people’s husbands alone. They’ll
all take turns with you nicely.”
Amelia’s lips trembled with disbelief.
“Recover from your injuries and grow into the pampered princess that you think you are without
causing any more trouble.” After Oscar finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
Amelia hurriedly pulled out the IV from her hand, got out of bed tremblingly, and ran toward Oscar to
hug him. However, she did not expect the man to dodge her. Amelia ended up on the floor, face to face
with a woman’s high heels.
“Amelia, what’s wrong with you? Even if you wanted to wee me, you didn’t need to give me such a
grand gesture,” came Amelia Winters’s voice.
Amelia Hutton froze, a sh of shame and anger coursing through her. She wanted to get up but fell
down again due to the pain from her injuries.
Amelia Winters merely shook her head and bent over, intending to help the woman up, but her hand
was shoved away in anger. “Don’t touch me!” Amelia Hutton hissed.
Amelia Winters withdrew her hand and looked at Oscar. She guessed that her sister’s current
predicament was probably Oscar’s masterpiece.
Oscar came over, pulled her over, and said warmly, “Why are you here?”
Amelia Winters shook her head and said, “Oscar, go and help her up. She seems to have some
misunderstanding toward me.”
Oscar looked at Amelia Hutton and scoffed. “She’s an able-bodied woman. She can get up on her
own.”
Amelia Hutton listened to them speak, her eyes burning with humiliation and anger. Never had she
been treated thus by any man.
Just then, Sean walked in with all kinds of food in his hand. However, he was stunned by the scene in
front of him. Immediately, he bent over to help his sister up, asking, “What happened to you, Amelia?
Why are you lying here on the floor?”
Amelia Hutton gritted her teeth and stared at her sister and Oscar angrily.
She swore to herself that the humiliation she suffered that day would be repaid sooner orter.
Sean also looked at Amelia Winters and said, “You’re here again, Amy? Did Amelia do something
wrong again?”
In other words, if she didn’t do anything wrong, why would you treat her like this? Given how Amelia
Hutton nowy copsed on the floor and nobody lifted a finger, it was hard to not infer this.
Amelia Winters replied, “Sean, I don’t know what happened. As soon as I came in, I saw Amelia fall to
the ground, so I went to help her. But she did not seem particrly interested in my help. You have my
apologies.”
Amelia Hutton red at her, gritted her teeth, and hissed, “Go away!”
The smile on Amelia Winters’s face faded a little.
Oscar put his arm around his wife’s waist possessively and said coldly, “Mr. Hutton, I don’t think your
family is particrly weing to us. My wife has spared no effort in taking care of your mother over
the past few days, asking for nothing in return. She is my wife, a member of the Clinton family. She isn’t
here to y nanny for your family. If you’re going to look down on her, fine. We’ll just go back to
Tayhaven. But kindly ensure you don’t call her when anything happens. It hurts my ears.”
Sean’s face froze, and he red at Amelia Hutton angrily.
“Oscar, no… Mr. Clinton, this is all a misunderstanding. My family is very grateful. If my sister has
offended you out of ignorance, allow me to apologize on her behalf. I will take care to ensure that she
won’t trouble you anymore in the future.”
“You’d better keep your word. I dislike being swarmed by unruly women. They’re like flies, annoying
and repulsive,” said Oscar bluntly.
Amelia Hutton stiffened up as she looked at Oscar in disbelief.
“Oscar…”
Sean gave his sister’s hand a squeeze, warning her to not say anything stupid.
He smiled apologetically. “Mr. Clinton, Amy, it’s gettingte. I think you two should head back and rest.
Don’t let me keep you.”
Oscar nodded and left the ward with Amelia Winters on his arm.
Back in the ward, Sean threw Amelia Hutton directly on the hospital bed. The impact caused her back
injury to hurt. Amelia then gritted her teeth in pain.
“Sean, what are you doing? Are you crazy?” she barked. Being treated like this by Oscar was one
thing. But now that she received the same harsh treatment from her brother, she felt nothing but hatred
coursing through her veins.
Sean stared at her gravely and spat, “Didn’t I tell you not to provoke Oscar? Why didn’t you listen?”
“This is a hospital ward for God’s sake. How could I have possibly anticipated his arrival? He came
here of his own ord, mocked me, then admitted that he hired thugs to beat me up! I’ve never been
treated like this before! With that said, I can’t swallow this humiliation!” hissed Amelia, her eyes
narrowed.
After a pause, she seemed to have sworn an oath. “I must have my revenge! If I can’t have him, I must
destroy him!”
Sean felt the pounding in his temples intensify.
He then tried a different approach. With a much kinder tone, he said, “Look, just recover from your
injuries. Stop thinking about all this for a bit.”
So, Oscar was the one who taught her a lesson this time? He must have been freaking p*ssed. If
Amelia doesn’t feel ashamed to push all his buttons, then I fear the consequences will be dire. Her
ignorance knows no bounds! She won’t recover if there is a next time, for sure.
Amelia covered her head with the quilt and said in a sullen voice, “Sean, you’re a coward. The
company was handed over to you but you don’t even have the drive to push on. Yourck of ambition
is going to bring about the copse of thepany.”
Seanughed in anger, realizing that he could no longer talk to his sister. They were on different
wavelengths now. He was going to go insane if this continued.
“Whatever. You have a good rest now. The nurse ising soon. If you need any help at night, call
her. This cowardly brother of yours is going to take his leave, lest he soils your eyes.”
When Sean left, Amelia was so angry that she swept everything on the table to the floor. Her already
dampened mood had all but deteriorated.
