Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 734
Chapter 734 The Professor
It took almost two hours for James toe out of the operating room. Benjamin walked up quickly and
asked anxiously, “How’s my wife, Dr. James?”
“I’ll be frank with you, Mr. Hutton. Mrs. Hutton’s condition is not particrly good, and the brain tumor is
deteriorating much faster than we thought. At this rate, I’m afraid she’ll reach thest stage soon. I think
it’s best that you prepare yourself,” said James with a serious expression.
Benjamin felt his hands and feet be cold in an instant. “James, is there no other way? You
promised me that you would save my mother. Have you forgotten about that?” Amelia asked with a
frown.
James said apologetically, “Amelia, I’ve tried my best toe up with a n to operate on your mother,
but I’m really sorry. I don’t have any options now. I’ve tried my best to contact my mentor. As long as
there is news from his side, I will fly him to Chanaea at once. If my mentor and I join forces, there may
be a way.”
Amelia nodded in despair.
Eleanor was pushed into the ward. James followed in and checked on her again. Then, he asked
Benjamin to take good care of her before shooting Amelia a look.
Amelia said, “I’m going out for a while, Mr. Hutton. Please take care of Mom.”
Benjamin nodded.
Amelia followed James out, and the two of them went to James’ office.
“What is it, James? Is there something wrong with my mom?” Amelia froze, and there was an
imperceptible nervousness in her voice.
James looked at her and pondered for a moment. “Let me be honest with you, Amelia. If there is no
cure for your mother, she will only be able to live for half a year at most. Of course, this is the worst
oue. But your mother’s lifespan may also be extended indefinitely because of her active treatment,
so this is really hard to say.”
Amelia’s hands slowly clenched into fists as she bit her lip.
“James, I have always believed in your medical skills. I don’t think you should have told me this.”
James shed her a bitter smile and spread his hands. “Amelia, I’m just a doctor, not a god. I can’t do
anything about incurable diseases.”
“Back then, you were able to pull me back from the gates of hell, so you should be able to do the same
to my mother, right?” Amelia asked expectantly.
James avoided her eyes and said in disappointment, “I’m sorry.”
As if she was drained of all her strength, Amelia sighed deeply and said, “Is there really no other way?
She was still healthy just half a year ago. She shouldn’t have gotten a malignant brain tumor. She’s
such a good person, and she has never done anything bad in her life. Why is God so cruel to her?”
James couldn’t bear it. He thought for a while andforted her, “Hold yourself together, Amelia. Life
and death are beyond our control, and what I just said is the worst possible oue. Medical
technology is very advanced now, so there will be a solution.” Everyone knew that as long as malignant
brain tumors reached the middle andte stages, the chance of being cured was really slim. Just like
leukemia, although there were sessful cases, they were really few.
Amelia raised her hand to wipe away the tears that had fallen unintentionally. “Thank you for the hard
work, James.” After saying that, she turned around and walked out.
As she went back into the ward, she heard Benjamin talking to Eleanor in a gentle voice.
“Eleanor, I’ve agreed to let you go back to Tayhaven with Amelia. So, can you wake up and talk to me
now?”
Of course, Eleanor, who was on the bed, did not answer.
Benjamin continued, “I was wrong, Eleanor. I made you sad for more than twenty years. But as long as
you wake up, I can promise you anything, even if it means acknowledging Amelia Winters as my
daughter.”
Eleanor remained silent.
While Benjamin was still mumbling, Amelia gave him aplicated look, then turned around and
silently walked out of the ward.
As soon as she got out of the ward, she saw Oscar striding toward her. The sourness she had
suppressed rose from within her again.
Oscar walked up to her and looked into her red eyes.
“What’s wrong?” Oscar asked softly.
Amelia wrapped her arms around his waist and said in a child-like voice, “I’m just a little tired.” She was
exhausted, both physically and mentally.
Oscar took her to the bench and sat down. He gently stroked her hair and asked, “Tell me, why are you
unhappy?”
Amelia shook her head. “I’m not unhappy. I just feel that I’m a little useless. Even if I’m rich, I can’t do
anything when my loved ones are sick.”
“Did something happen to Mom again?”
“James said the worst possible oue for her is that she could only live for six months at most.”
“You said it was the worst oue, no? A person’s will to survive is much stronger than what is
medically determined. I believe that Mom will be strong enough to continue living for you.”
“Really?”
Oscar nodded.
Amelia’s lips curved slightly. “Thank you, Oscar.”
“I’m your husband. There’s no need for you to thank me.”
Amelia bobbed her head in appreciation.
“Don’t think too much. I’ll talk to Jamester to see if I can discuss a n for Mom’s operation. I think
as long as I have the money, I can hire a lot of highly skilled doctors. She will be fine.”
Amelia merely nodded without saying anything.
The couple sat on the bench for nearly an hour. Oscar stroked her hair and said, “You should go in.
Maybe Mom will wake up in a while.”
Amelia nestled in his arms and shook her head gloomily. She didn’t want to go in for the time being.
“Then should we go home?”
Again, Amelia shook her head. She said in a low voice, “Stay with me for a while. I don’t feel so good. I
can’t face my mom, who was fine half a year ago and yet became so haggard in a few days. James
told me that she can only live for half a year at most, but I don’t want to believe it. Oscar, sometimes I
really hope that this is just a dream.”
After a pause, she continued, “I didn’t want anything to do with the Hutton family before, but she is one
of the few elders who truly loves me. She treats me better than my adoptive parents, and it hurts to see
her in aa. Maybe this is the mother-daughter connection that others often say.”
“Don’t worry. I will ask the best doctors to treat her,” Oscar said.
As he promised, Oscar used his personal connections to look for James’ mentor, who was in the deep
mountains and forests all over the world. In the end, they found a bearded man on an unknown
mountain in Anndur. The mentor was crazy about medicine and had been living in that deep
mountain for two to three months to find the medicinal herbs he wanted.
“We’ve finally found you, Professor. Pleasee to Chanaea with us. There is a patient who needs
your help,” the bodyguard in the lead said in fluent Erihalese.
“Who are you?” the mentor asked cautiously.
“Forgive me, Professor. We are bodyguards sent by Oscar Clinton. He and James have been good
friends for many years. I think you should know him. His mother-inw has a malignant brain tumor, so
we would like to invite you back to treat her,” said the bodyguard.
“I see. Okay, I’ll go to Chanaea with you. But can I take a shower, shave my beard, and change my
clothes before I go? I’m afraid I’ll scare them looking like this,” the mentor said.
“Of course, Professor. This way, please.”
The group of people invited the mentor to a small town a hundred kilometers away from there. They
found a hotel for the mentor to wash up before they rushed to the airport overnight. They waited for
nearly an hour to board the ne, and they didn’t arrive in Tayhaven until the next day.
“Professor, do you need something to fill your stomach first?”
“Sure, thank you. I’m a little hungry now.” Perhaps it was because he had been moving about
yesterday and didn’t have a good meal. He was starving at that moment.
After the meal, the bodyguards brought him to the hospital.
James had been waiting there with Amelia and Oscar.
“I’m sorry, James. I’ve been staying in the mountains for a while, and the signal is not good there, so I
didn’t receive your call.”
“I’m used to it, but it’s fine as long as youe back safe and sound. Now, let’s skip the pleasantries. I
have a patient who is in a serious condition right now. It may be necessary for us, the master and the
apprentice, to join hands for this case. I hope we can create another medical miracle.”
The mentor nodded.
Amelia said, “Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule toe here, Professor. You can
rest assured that as long as you can cure my mother, we will not treat you badly in terms of
remuneration.”
“There’s no need for you to be so polite, Amelia. We have met a few times before. I came here
because of you all. As for the remuneration, I don’t care about it. I’m old and I’m not short of money.
What I yearn for is to take down some diseases that are difficult to defeat,” said the mentor like a loving
elder.
He was obsessed with medicine and not so obsessed with money.
“I’m counting on you, Professor.”
The mentor nodded in response.
They took the elevator upstairs and entered the ward. Benjamin turned his head and furrowed his
eyebrows. “Who is this?”
“This is James’ mentor, who works at a hospital in Anndur and is an all-around expert invited by
many hospitals. He is also a professor at a university in Anndur. His medical skills are known
worldwide. With him and James working together, Mom will be fine,” Amelia said seriously.
Benjamin’s eyes lit up. He quickly stepped forward and said, “Hello, the name’s Hutton. I’m d to
meet you. I heard about you from my friend who worked in this hospital and tried to call you. It’s a pity
that my calls couldn’t get through, but it is a blessing to the Hutton family now that you can take the
time toe here. As long as you can heal my wife, the remuneration is not a problem.”
The mentor nodded and said in poor Chanaean, “Don’t worry, Mr. Hutton. As doctors, we will try our
best to treat the patient. But I have to check the patient and understand all the conditions before I can
come up with the right treatment.”

Benjamin nodded in response, a trace of joy on his face.
