Too Much to Bear, My Love - Season 2 Episode 8

Amelia nodded in response.

“You don’t have to worry because Mr. Clinton’s injury is not severe,” the head nurse comforted her.

“Where is he now?”

“The doctor is bandaging his wounds now, so he should come out once it’s done. Don’t worry.”

Amelia finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“You seem to be a little pale-faced now. Why don’t you sit on the chair and take some deep breaths?”

Amelia nodded and said, “Ma’am, I’m sure you’re busy with your work. It’s okay, I’ll wait for him here.” She then took Oscar’s phone from the nurse.

“Alright, I’ll get going, then. Mr. Clinton will come out and see you once the doctor has finished tending to his injuries.”

Right after the head nurse left, Amelia leaned against the wall feebly like a punctured balloon. The moment she relaxed, she felt a slight abdominal pain.

She gasped for air slowly until the pain subsided.

Then, she caressed her belly and said lovingly, “Sweetheart. I’m sorry. I was too nervous just now.”

After sitting outside for nearly ten minutes, Oscar finally came out from the ward with his arm covered with thick layers of bandage.

Immediately, Amelia came up to him and asked nervously, “Darling, are you okay? Are any of your bones damaged?”

Seeing how sincere and worried she was about him, Oscar felt touched and replied, “It’s not that serious, just some minor injuries on my right arm. Don’t worry too much.”

However, Amelia’s heart wrenched whenever she looked at his bandaged arm. “How did the accident happen?”

Oscar wrapped his hand around her waist and said, “Let’s go. I’ll explain it to you at home.”

Although Amelia followed him obediently, she couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, “It was a car accident, right? Who caused it, and who was the victim?”

Since Amelia dwelled on it, Oscar decided to give her a short explanation.

After getting off work, Oscar wanted to rush home to have dinner with Amelia. On his way back, a Tibetan Mastiff suddenly rushed to the middle of the road, causing him to jerk the steering wheel before crashing the car into a big pot of flower at the roadside.

Amelia was both amused and wrought with worry by the story.

“Mr. Clinton, it seems like you’ve encountered some rare sight that would only happen once in a hundred years. What more can I say? Amelia continued, “Anyway, how are you going to work tomorrow since your right arm is injured?”

“Well, it’s just a minor injury. The doctor purposely put extra layers of bandages to prevent any sequela because he knows me. Besides, since my bones are fine, I can still touch you. So wait for me tonight. I’ll make sure that you can’t get out of bed the next day.”

Amelia was rendered speechless by his words. How is he still in the mood to joke around?

She rolled her eyes at him and deliberately patted on his injured right arm. Immediately, his face contorted in pain. He gritted his teeth and growled, “Hey woman, are you trying to murder your husband?”

She replied cheekily, “Didn’t you say you’re fine just now? I’m just trying to examine if you were telling the truth.”

He glanced at her and said, “Aren’t you a little heartbroken seeing my hand is injured?”

After falling silent for a while, she lowered her gaze and said in a deep voice, “If I didn’t feel heartbroken, I wouldn’t even be here when I heard that you met an accident.”

Oscar was touched by her response. He took her into his arms and said, “Did I worry you that much?”

You’re acting so weird today. Amelia dared not speak her mind, for he was sitting in front of her.

“What’s with how I’m acting?” He asked, following her train of thoughts.

However, she merely shook her head and lowered her gaze, pretending to have her soup.

Meanwhile, Oscar couldn’t help but look at Amelia with affection.

“Am I a horrible monster? Why aren’t you looking at me?” Oscar questioned.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Amelia looked up at him and said with a smile, “Mr. Clinton, is the food delicious?”

“It’s Darling.”

Seeing how she was at a loss, he explained again, “If you don’t call me Darling at home, I won’t reply to you at all.”

Amelia was amused by his words. After all, it was her first time to realize that he was rather stubborn.

Gazing at him, she drawled out the words and called out sweetly, “Darling.”

Oscar unknowingly shivered upon hearing it and said in a deep voice, “Speak properly.”

In response, Amelia supported her chin with an arm and kept casting suggestive winks at him. “Mr. Clinton, don’t you think the way I talk is cute?”

A gleam flashed across Oscar’s eyes at that, but he immediately lowered his gaze and had his soup. Noticing the change of his emotions, Amelia said in an even more coquettish voice, “Darling, I’ll be upset if you keep ignoring me.”

Hearing that, Oscar spat out some of the soup that he just had. Then, he lifted his gaze to stare at her and spoke in a perplexed tone. “Speak properly.”

Evidently in a good mood, Amelia simply grinned mischievously.

Shortly afterward, she continued to talk coquettishly as though she was addicted to it. “I heard that many men like women who acted cutely. Darling, don’t you like how I talk now?”

“You’re not that type of woman.”

“Well, Darling, if you prefer this type of woman, I can try to change.”

“Well, don’t.”

After gazing at him for three seconds, she suddenly burst into laughter.

“Haha… why are you… You’re too adorable!”

Oscar stared at Amelia for a while. Seeing how she couldn’t stop laughing, he said helplessly, “Let’s have dinner.”

Nevertheless, she simply kept laughing.

Oscar stood up and came up to Amelia. Then, he held her head and dipped his head to kiss her lips.

Both of them were immersed in the romantic moment as their lips touched each other. However, as soon as they were about to go all the way, Amelia’s stomach growled at an inopportune timing.

Oscar let go of her and asked while staring at her stomach, “Are you hungry?”

Blushing, she averted her gaze and replied, “I was worried about you ever since I received the news. Now that it’s nearly ten at night, I’m famished.”

No matter how merciless he was, he couldn’t force himself upon her when she was hungry. As such, he only stared at her aggressively and said, “I won’t let you off the hook later.”

Amelia chuckled and said defiantly, “I’m worried instead that you might…” Although she bit her tongue, Oscar could guess the unpleasant words that she wanted to say. After all, her emotion was written all over her face.

He asserted, “You’ll find out whether I’m still able to do it later.”
