Too Much To Bear My Love

Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 61

Nodding repeatedly, Olivia and Owen hurriedly got on the elevator and went up to the tenth floor.

Upon entering the ward and seeing Amelia lie unconscious on the bed, Olivia was distressed. She walked over quickly, looked at Oscar, and said in a hushed voice, “Oscar, what’s going on? How did Amelia get into a car accident?”

Oscar told them all about it.

“Has the person who ran the red light been caught?” asked Olivia with a long face.

“He’s been taken to the police station. Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll make sure he goes to jail,” assured Oscar, looking grim.

Olivia nodded. Feeling sorry, she looked at Amelia’s belly and said, “I asked her if she was pregnant a few days ago and she actually told me that she’d actually gained some weight. I don’t blame her for keeping it from us. The fact that you’ve been thinking about another woman must have broken her heart. She must be worried that we’ll take the child away from her if the two of you divorce in the future.”

Oscar said nothing.

“Look, Oscar, I just want to remind you that, since Amelia is now pregnant, you should settle down and have a life with her,” Olivia added with special emphasis.

Oscar pulled a long face, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing this, Olivia got a little angry and emphasized, “I’m going to be frank with you, Oscar. Amelia’s baby is our first grandchild. I won’t allow him to grow up without a mother. If you’re unfaithful to her, you won’t be my son anymore.”

“Mom…” Oscar groaned, displeased.

But Olivia just stroked Amelia’s belly in silence.

“Oscar, listen to your mom. I don’t care how you messed around previously, but now that Amelia is pregnant, you need to settle down.”

Oscar was vexed.

Owen walked out of the ward with him and asked, “So what do you think, Oscar?”

“Dad, her pregnancy wasn’t what I’ve expected, so I think—”

“Oscar, don’t even think about it. I was quite dissatisfied with her at first, but she’s been treating us very well the past four years. I won’t allow her to have an abortion,” interrupted Owen as his face clouded over.

Looking at him calmly, Oscar maintained, “Dad, the one I love is Cassie, and she’s coming back to settle down here. I can’t abandon her.”

“That woman abandoned you for her so-called piano, so she might abandon you again for further training in the future. Can you really accept that?” Owen asked.

Pursing his lips, Oscar thought for a moment and said, “Dad, I believe she’ll make a mature choice now.”

“So are you going to get your own wife to abort the baby because of that woman?”

Oscar fell silent.

“Oscar, you’re almost thirty years old. You should be more mature in handling things and not be so self- willed.”

“Dad, I can allow Amelia to give birth to the child. After the child is born, I’ll give her a large sum of money that is enough for the rest of her life,” asserted Oscar after thinking for a while.

“Are you sure this is what you want?” Owen frowned. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Oscar gave a firm nod.

“I respect your decision. You’re a grown-up now, so I believe you can handle your work and personal matters well,” Owen said.

He patted Oscar on the shoulder and added, “Let’s go inside.”

The two of them went back into the ward as if nothing had happened.

After Amelia came round, the first thing that came to her view was the worried look in Olivia’s eyes. Still feeling a little groggy, she asked, “Mom, what are you doing here?”

Olivia checked her temperature to make sure that it was normal. Then flashing her a gentle smile, she asked, “Are you thirsty? Let me pour you a glass of water.”

She proceeded to pour Amelia a glass of water before adding, “Amelia, you had a car accident, but don’t you worry, you and the baby are fine.”

Amelia’s eyes widened as she looked at her in surprise. Olivia then assured her in a gentle voice, “Amelia, we all know that you’re pregnant now. Don’t worry. No one will dare to do anything to your baby as long as I’m here.”

Casting her eyes down, Amelia said with a pale face, “Mom, I’m sorry for lying to you.”

“I know what you’re worried about, but I can promise you that I won’t let anyone hurt your baby,” guaranteed Olivia while patting Amelia on her hand.

Amelia forced a smile while feeling complicated deep down. She had never expected that her pregnancy would be revealed in such a way. It seemed that she could not hide from the inevitable and that her training in Saspiuburg would have to be put on hold as well.

Now that Oscar knew she was pregnant, he might let her give birth to the baby due to the pressure from Olivia. However, Cassie’s involvement would mean that Oscar would probably divorce her. And after the divorce, the Clintons would definitely take the child away from her, which was the last thing she wanted.

She did not want to lose her child along with her marriage.

“Amelia, don’t let your imagination run away with you. Now that you’re pregnant with our first grandchild, I won’t let your kid lose his mother,” Olivia promised.

Coming back to her senses, Amelia shook her head with a smile and replied, “I’m fine, Mom. Don’t worry about me. What happened to the man who caused the accident?”

“He has been taken away by the police. Don’t worry. He broke the traffic rules and ran the red light, so I’ll definitely make sure he gets jailed for at least several years.”

“Mom, half of it is my fault too. He did run the red light, but I was talking on the phone while driving. If I hadn’t done so, I might not have had a car accident. So just let the police do their things. I don’t want the Clintons to interfere,” explained Amelia.

“Okay, sure. You call the shots. What you need to do now is to take good care of yourself. Don’t worry about other things,” Olivia immediately agreed with a smile.

Amelia nodded. Then, she took an instinctive glance at the door and a look of disappointment flashed across her eyes.

Noticing the look, Olivia explained with a smile, “Oscar has been with you before this, but I told him to go back with Owen first since they had yet to eat. I’ve also asked Molly to make you some soup. She’ll send it over soon.”

“Thank you, Mom.” Amelia smiled shyly.

Soon, Molly came over with soup and some other food she prepared for the two of them.

“Amelia, although the doctor said you’re fine after the car crash, it’s better to have something light first. You can eat normally again after two days,” reminded Olivia as she filled a bowl with soup.

“It’s all right, Mom. You’ve read my mind. It just so happened that I’m also craving for the soup made by Molly.”

At this, Olivia chuckled as she brought a spoonful of soup to Amelia. “Here you go.”

Amelia obediently opened her mouth and ate it.

After finishing one bowl of soup, Molly served her another bowl and urged, “Mrs. Clinton, you need to eat more. Now that you’re pregnant, you need to take good care of yourself.”

Amelia wanted to take the bowl, but Olivia took it instead. “I’ll feed you.”

Amelia ate two and a half bowls of soup. When she could not eat it anymore, she told Olivia with a smile, “Mom, the soup Molly made is really nice, but I’ve eaten too much. I’m stuffed.”

“I’ve indeed fed you too much as I’m too happy. I shall stop now. But the thought of finally having a grandchild after four years makes me thrilled,” replied Olivia while putting down the bowl.

Amelia still had a smile on her face, but she felt sad deep down. She did not plan to let the Clintons know about her pregnancy, but a car crash had disrupted her plan, catching her off guard.

After eating, she chatted with Olivia for a while before she started to feel sleepy. Seeing her like this, Olivia asked, “Are you sleepy?”

Amelia nodded.

Olivia then tucked her in. “Go ahead and sleep. I’m just gonna sit here.”

Closing her eyes, Amelia started imagining things and thought that she would not be able to fall asleep, but soon she did.

When she woke up, Oscar was there instead of Olivia. “You’re here, Mr. Clinton.”

“Feeling better?” asked Oscar while keeping his gaze on her.

“Are you disappointed that nothing happened to my baby even after a car crash?” Amelia stared straight into his eyes.

He adjusted the blanket for her and replied, “Don’t overthink it. Since you’re pregnant, just give birth to him. But you must tell me when you’re pregnant next time. I don’t want to learn about my wife’s pregnancy from others.”

“You don’t want me to abort it?” Amelia gave him a strange look, mixed feelings growing inside of her.

He simply changed the subject. “Don’t worry about anything. Just give birth to the baby. No matter how we end up in the future, I’ll make sure that you live the rest of your life in comfort.”

A hint of bitterness grew inside her. Closing her eyes, she requested, “Mr. Clinton, if we divorce, I only have one demand, which is to give me the child’s custody. I can give up my share of the assets.”

“No, he’s the descendant of the Clintons, so he must stay with the Clintons,” Oscar rejected without even thinking about it.

She pulled the blanket over her head and asked, “Will we get a divorce in the future?”

Looking at the blanket with complicated emotion in his eyes, Oscar suddenly could not bring himself to say yes, so he said instead, “You’re pregnant now and the doctor wants you to rest well. You only need to focus on taking good care of your body.”

Amelia nodded under the blanket.

He tried to lift the blanket but could not, so he asked, “Are you going to talk to me like this?”

“What else do you want to talk to me, Mr. Clinton?” Amelia peeked out from under the blanket.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve talked in such a calm manner. Let’s have a chat.” Oscar patted her on the head.

“You actually have the time to chat?” Amelia blinked.

Oscar chuckled and asked, “Why do you talk to me like I’m the enemy? Do you not like chatting with me?”

Amelia shook her head.

“You are pregnant now, so let’s live together peacefully these few months,” Oscar declared.

“Well, as long as you don’t give us so much drama, I guess we can live together peacefully,” stated Amelia with a faint smile.

Now that the Clintons knew that she was pregnant, she would not want to destroy the superficial peacefulness by acting unreasonably as she was not ingenuous nor insensitive.

Perhaps the baby could ease the tension in her relationship with Oscar. She did not want to use Olivia, but she knew that Olivia might be able to play a mediating role in their relationship. Olivia could keep a

tight rein on Oscar, and Cassie would not be able to marry into the Clintons so easily.

On the surface, Olivia was quite an easy-going lady and was different from other wealthy women who tended to act high and mighty. However, her kindness would only be shown to those who did not cross the line. Otherwise, it would be hard for her to forgive them.

Amelia knew she had Olivia backing her. As long as she wanted to use Olivia’s sympathy, Oscar would not insist on divorcing her.

She could manage without using Olivia before giving birth, but after the child was born, she would not be able to control the custody of the child. Using Olivia was her last resort as it could at least guarantee her status as the wife of Oscar.
