Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 785
Chapter 785 Conflict With The Hissons
What happened next left Amelia no time to specte why Stephanie was purposely trying to get on her
good side. Amelia picked up a call from Tiffany, who feebly asked her to visit the Hisson residence.
That caused her heart to beat uncontrobly.
She got Jolin to send her to the Hisson residence as quickly as possible and immediately ran into the
mansion. The moment she stepped in, she saw a bunch of doctors and nurses dressed in white doing
something. The uneasiness in Amelia’s heart only grew stronger.
She grabbed one of the anxious maids and asked, “What happened? Where’s Tiff?”
“Mrs. Hisson rpsed because Ms. Tiffany angered her. Ms. Tiffany is probably in her room right now,”
the maid exined. After doing so, she immediately pried Amelia’s hands off and ran outside in a panic
to do who knows what.
Amelia felt her limbs go cold. Step by step, she walked inside and found Kate lying on the couch as a
few doctors checked her pulse. Kate’s face was rather pale, and her lips were tightly pursed. Her eyes
were firmly shut as well, and she didn’t seem to be in particrly good condition. The rest of the
Hissons seemed to have grim expressions as well.
Amelia walked over to Derrick, who had a simrly grave look on his face. She asked, “Derrick, what…
What exactly happened to Mrs. Hisson? Where’s Tiff?”
Derrick nced at her with a sh of exhaustion in his gaze. When he spoke, his voice was
unexpectedly scratchy. “Help me go upstairs and check on Tiff, Amelia. With my mom in this state, I
don’t have time to check on her. Can you do it in my stead?”
She carefully observed his gaze and noticed a trace of wariness and detachment in it. Her heart
couldn’t help but sink, and she couldn’t figure out what was going on between him and Tiffany.
However, she presumed that what happened to Kate might have influenced their marriage.
There was aplicated feeling in Amelia’s heart. Things were a mess with the Clintons, and right
then, her best friend had encountered such a situation. There was no way the Hissons would let this
slide so easily.
“I’m going to see Tiff first. I’m worried that she’s got too much on her mind and will end up
overthinking,” she said.
Derrick only nodded without saying anything more.
Upon going upstairs, Amelia knocked on the door, but nobody answered. She twisted the doorknob and
opened the door.
When she pushed the door open, she saw Tiffany curled up into a ball in the corner of the couch. Her
heart ached at the sight of it. She walked over and squatted down in front of Tiffany as she muttered,
“Tiff.”
Tiffany slowly looked up with a rare look of fragility on her face.
Amelia reached out to stroke her face. “Will you tell me what happened, Tiff? Don’t worry. I’m here for
you. I won’t let anyone hurt you.”
Bewilderment flickered in Tiffany’s eyes. She quietly exined, “My brother was causing trouble back
at home again. My parents gave me a call, asking me to send some money back home to smooth
things out. I thought about it and figured that he was still family in the end, so I decided to secretly
transfer the money, but my mother-inw somehow found out. She said a lot of mean things to me. I
don’t mind if she uses me, but she even insulted my parents. Even though my parents are quite
biased toward my brother, they’ve always provided me with a roof over my head. My parents are
already old, and there’s no way I would just let someone insult them like that. Because of that, I
couldn’t control my words for a moment, and she ended up fainting straight away. After that, the
screaming of a maid made me snap back to reality, and a bunch of doctors ran in. Then, a lot of the
Hissons arrived, too. Derrick told me to hide up here for now. I swear, I didn’t do it on purpose, Amelia. I
wasn’t trying to do anything to her. If anything happens to her, won’t my marriage with Derrick be over?”
After hearing that, Amelia pondered for a bit. She didn’t know how to respond to Tiffany.
If Kate were to use her illness to incriminate Tiffany, then Tiffany stood no chance of winning.
Even if Derrick tried to protect her, the rtionship between a mother-inw and a daughter-inw was
notoriously full of conflict. Being stuck in the middle, Derrick would be in a difficult position, too. If the
situation escted to a certain point, then no matter how close the couple was, they might end up
suffering a falling-out.
“Calm down, Tiff. Mrs. Hisson will be fine. I’m certain that Derrick wouldn’t purposely me you, either.”
Amelia tried tofort her to the best of her ability.
Meanwhile, Tiffany was at a loss.
Amelia stayed by her side for quite a while before Derrick opened the door and walked in.

Tiffany hurriedly asked, “How is Mom doing, Derrick?”
“She’s been sent to the hospital. She was already ill in the first ce, so she couldn’t handle any kind
of provocation. You must have been scared, huh?” he replied as he raised his hand to caress her face.
She shook her head and guiltily apologized, “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.”
Derrick stated, “Don’t think too much about it. Nobody could have expected that to happen to Mom.”
Then, he turned to Amelia. “Amelia, I have a favor to ask of you. You’ve seen the state that our family is
in. My dad is furious right now, and if he catches sight of Tiff, he’ll start ming her for sure. Because of
that, I’m nning to let her stay with you for a few days. When everyone has calmed down, she can
come back and give my mom a proper apology.”
Upon hearing that, Amelia was a little hesitant. “I don’t think that’s a good idea, Derrick. If Tiff were to
leave at a time like this, that might make your family even angrier.”
Tiffany also piped up, “I’m not going to leave, Derrick. I think I should go and take care of Mom. I’m her
daughter-inw, after all.”
Derrick leaned over to give her a kiss on the lips. “Don’t force yourself. I’ll take care of everything. You
and Amelia can go and stay hidden for a few days. When the issue has been settled, I’ll bring you
back.”
“There’s no need for that, Derrick. I’ll stay by your side. With you there, I’m not scared of anything,”
Tiffany insisted.
He gave her a deep stare, and in the end, all he could do was concede.
“I’ll go to the hospital with you, Tiff,” Amelia suggested.
Tiffany nodded in response.
The three of them went to Principal General Hospital together. Unexpectedly, Finnick, who had always
ignored Tiffany, immediately gave her a p on the face. It was so sudden that both Amelia and Derrick
weren’t prepared for it.
“Dad!” Derrick eximed.
Finnick shot him a re. “If anything happens to your mom, I’m going to make this woman suffer the
same fate.”
Amelia moved to protect Tiffany. She tried her best to hold her fury back and said, “Mr. Hisson, I’m sure
that Tiff doesn’t want that to happen to Mrs. Hisson either. She feels very guilty right now.”
“Get lost!” Finnick roared. He didn’t intend to show them any respect at all.
Instantly, Tiffany’s face went pale.
“Mr. Hisson…”
“She’d better get lost. She’s nothing but a jinx,” he grumbled.
“Your father-inw is really angry right now, Tiffany. You should just go back for now. Look at what
you’ve done to your mother-inw,” one of the Hissons chimed in.
Just when Amelia was about to refute, Tiffany grabbed her hand. She looked at Derrick and said, “Stay
here and take care of Mom, Derrick. Call me when she wakes up.”
A glint of sorrow shed in his eyes. He mumbled, “Okay. You and Amelia should go back to her ce
and rest for a bit. Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.”
Tiffany nodded.
She walked away with Amelia, but when they got downstairs, they happened to bump into Crystal, who
was striding in dramatically.
As they passed by each other, Crystal purposely taunted, “This proves that you and Derrick aren’t good
for each other, Tiffany. Ever since you married into the Hissons, the family’s been in a mess. I have no
idea how you can be shameless enough to keep staying.” Then, she immediately left.
After hearing that, Tiffany’s back stiffened up uncontrobly.
