Too Much to Bear, My Love Chapter 198

Oscar couldn’t be bothered to come up with a retort, so he walked directly to the side of the bed. His

gaze turned loving as he stared at the still-slumbering Amelia. He asked, “How long has she been

sleeping?”

“About two hours,” answered Tiffany. She instinctively lowered her voice because she was worried about

waking Amelia up.

Kurt was staring at Amelia as well. That was the first time he had ever seen her from such a close

distance. Naturally, he had seen her before, but he had always only stared from a distance. His

impression of Amelia was that she was beautiful and sexy. He didn’t like anything else about her. Get

Kurt was a man, so he couldn’t deny that Amelia was a fatal attraction to most men. A beautiful and sexy

woman like her often turned out to be another man’s accessories, and she seemed like a splendid choice

for a mistress.

The truth was that both he and Donnie weren’t happy when they first heard about how Oscar wanted to

marry Amelia. They thought that Amelia was nothing but a vixen and a promiscuous one at that. Most

men would instinctively prevent women like that from being their wives. Their first impression and action

would be to see those women as playthings.

Perhaps it was because Kurt’s impression of Amelia was that she was sexy, but when he saw her lying

on the bed like that… Kurt couldn’t stop his heart from skipping a beat. She looks so thin and frail, and

her pale figure exudes a sweet seduction.

Kurt shook his head and warned himself against having any idea.

Tiffany caught Kurt shaking his head. She thought it was funny and couldn’t resist teasing him a little.

She said, “Hey Kurt, isn’t Amelia the most stunning woman ever? If you’d like, I can introduce you to

her.”

Sweat dripped from Kurt’s head. He could almost imagine Oscar’s sharp gaze shooting daggers at him.

“Ms. Winters, please stop joking,” requested Kurt as he put on a straight face and pretended to be calm.

Tiffany couldn’t help laughing aloud. Get new chapters update on heart.com

“Aw, Kurt. You look so handsome when you act all tough and serious. Keep doing that.”

Kurt couldn’t stop his lips from twitching. This woman has got to be the weirdest woman I have ever met.

Oscar, however, ignored the annoying Tiffany entirely. He held Amelia’s hand and place it on his cheek.

It was as if Amelia could sense his presence, for her eyelids fluttered soon after, and she slowly opened

her eyes.

The first thing she saw was Oscar, and that got her gaze to turn sweeter with adoration. She grinned and

asked, “You’re done with work?”

Oscar replied with a smile, “Yeah. Do you feel any discomfort? Has the doctor given you an

examination?”

Amelia shook her head lightly and grinned before saying, “I’m fine. Did I scare you last night when I

suddenly develop a fever?”

Oscar kissed the back of her hand and answered, “Your man is not a scaredy-cat, you know? Besides,

with me here, neither heaven nor hell will be able to claim your soul.”

Tiffany snorted. She couldn’t resist dissing, “What a load of nonsense, Mr. Clinton. Do remind me who

was it again that got so nervous that he basically turned into a weird jittering alarm clock with no sound

when Amelia was being pushed into the operating room yesterday? My gosh, I swear, that had to be a

face that comic artists draw inspiration from! The idiot simply enjoys putting on a brave face in front of

Amelia and acts all tough. Tsk! Tsk! How embarrassing.”

Oscar’s expression remained unreadable. He simply acted as if he couldn’t hear a word Tiffany said.

Amelia turned to Tiffany in exasperation and chuckled before complaining, “Tiff…”

Tiffany shrugged and replied, “Alright, alright. You two continue being lovey-dovey. Just pretend that

we’re not here.”

We? Hearing that word alerted Amelia to Kurt’s presence.

She thought that he looked familiar, but she couldn’t quite recall who he was.

“Tiff, is this your friend?” asked Amelia softly.

Tiffany pouted and crossed her arms before saying, “Nah. This handsome hunk is Mr. Clinton’s

bodyguard. A certain someone is really good at hiding sh*ts. He even has a bodyguard of his own! That

bodyguard had been lurking in the dark all the while, so we never see him. Not even once! It’s a good

thing he’s a dude. If he had been a beautiful woman, I would’ve suspected that a certain someone has a

mistress.”

Kurt got so exasperated that even his lips gave up twitching. He simply stared at the back of Tiffany’s

head.

Amelia was feeling a little helpless as well. She spoke sweetly to Kurt. “Please don’t take her words to

heart. Tiff has always been a little too straightforward, but she means no harm.”

Kurt was polite and serious when he bowed to Amelia and said, “Ma’am, you are my employer’s wife, so

please feel free to call me by my name, Kurt. Besides, Boss has already assigned me to you, and your

safety is my job now. Hence, I will obey all of your commands from today onwards.”

Amelia was genuinely surprised. She wanted to wave her hands, but one of her hands was attached to a

bag of saline while Oscar was holding the other.

“Kurt, right? There’s no need to be so polite. I feel like we’re about the same age, so please refer to me

as Amelia. I actually feel awkward hearing you call me ma’am,” replied Amelia.

Tiffany was also surprised. She jumped backward and complained, “Yeah, man. What’s with the polite

act? You’re both of the same age, so it’s inappropriate to be that polite. Also, it’ll bring bad luck to

Amelia.”

Kurt was at a loss, so he turned to Oscar. Oscar, however, was looking at Amelia and said, “Amelia, I

specifically assigned this bodyguard over for you. I was careless previously and thought that those

evildoers would know better than attacking you. We live in the same apartment, after all, and I thought

that would dissuade them. Turns out, I underestimated their idiocy, and you got hurt because of it. I am

so sorry.”

He was especially sorry that his sister was the mastermind behind it all.

Amelia gave him an odd look before she suddenly asked, “Is there something troubling you?”

Oscar’s heart trembled. He had always been great at hiding his emotions, so he didn’t expect Amelia to

see through it.

He reached out to ruffle Amelia’s hair a little before replying in his deep voice, “What could possibly

trouble me? Don’t overthink it.”

Amelia simply stared quietly at him. It was obvious from her gaze that she didn’t believe a word he just

said.

Oscar’s heart melted so quickly that his mind couldn’t keep up. It was at that moment that he realized he

didn’t want to go against her wishes after seeing her being hurt.

Losing her was like losing the entire reason for his existence, and being ambushed by that pain without

any prior warning was something Oscar never wanted to experience again.

“Don’t overthink things. I’m alright. I promise. My only wish is that you will recover well, and you won’t be

ill again. I don’t want to see you being pushed into the operating room for the second time. I have

neglected you in the past, and there was so much more I should have done. That changes today. I will

be nicer to you and make up for all the times I’ve neglected you,” promised Oscar clearly and sincerely

as he looked into her eyes.

Their eyes met, and Amelia felt her heart getting all warm and fuzzy.

She giggled a little and joked, “Mr. Clinton, are you professing your love for me?”

Oscar lifted her hand and bit her softly on the back of her hand. “You’re supposed to call me darling,” he

grumbled.

Amelia couldn’t help laughing aloud, jostling her wound yet again.

Oscar panicked and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you hurt?”

Amelia coughed a little and waited until the sting in her body was gone. After that, she shook her head

and promised, “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

Oscar sighed a breath of relief.

Tiffany couldn’t help tearing up a little as she watched from the side. She was glad that Amelia found the

right guy to spend the rest of her life with, but Tiffany was still rather worried. The biggest obstacle that

Oscar and Amelia had to overcome was Cassie Yard, and that woman was a pest that could outlive a

cockroach. It is likely that Cassie won’t admit defeat that easily. Moreover, she is from a rich family and is

a pianist with a lot of fans. She has been spoiled and admired her entire life, so there is no way she’d

accept being dumped.

Tiffany worried that Cassie would do something crazy again.

Women, especially those who were in love but couldn’t get their prince, could easily go crazy. They were

also way more terrifying than a regular guy.

It was undeniable that Tiffany was someone who would look at both the bigger picture and the smaller

details. Unlike Amelia, she wouldn’t go all out once she fell in love. She definitely wouldn’t do something

as stupid as putting on a brave face and bowing out so that the person she loved could have a better life.

Tiffany might be a freelance ist, but she was nothing like the other writers. She didn’t let herself get

lost in the false romance that her words created.

She was realistic. Tiffany would gauge everything she did and calculate the profit and/or loss before she

did anything. The only thing she never bothered calculating was her friendship with Amelia. Everyone

and everything else would be scrutinized to determine whether they would be worth it. That didn’t mean

that Tiffany was a calculative person who saw everything as numbers or money, though. She simply

didn’t want things to spiral so out of control that it went beyond what she anticipated.

A good example of that was Derrick. Even Tiffany had to admit that he made her feel something that no

other man could. Yet, she still kept her guard up. Even when they first met, Tiffany knew that she and

Derrick lived in different worlds. She had no idea what would happen if she opened her heart and

accepted Derrick’s love, nor if they would end up getting married. She was also clueless on whether she

wanted to be a part of a rich family and live a life as a wealthy woman.

Tiffany was rational and thought things through. That was why she refused to accept Derrick’s courtship.

Perhaps some would see her decision as cowardly, but no one could judge her for protecting herself.

Tiffany interrupted, “Babe, you’re being too corny with Mr. Clinton. Please take Kurt and my feelings into

consideration.”

Amelia’s cheek burned as she blushed. She was too engrossed in Oscar’s eyes and actually forgot

about the two other adults in the room.

“Sorry about that,” Amelia apologized sincerely.

Tiffany waved dismissively and said in an amicable manner, “It’s fine, I guess. After all, women in love all

behave this way. I shall be merciful and forgive you this one time for forgetting all about me.”

Amelia blushed a little.

When Amelia felt her face burning less, she turned to Kurt and said, “Kurt, is it okay if I call you by your

name? The thing is, I’m actually fine. So it’s better if you continue staying by Oscar’s side and take care

of him. He’s always busy at work and is often the center of everybody’s attention, so he’s definitely in

more danger than I am. You used to follow him around, right? Just continue doing that. I don’t really need

a bodyguard.”

Oscar held Amelia’s hand, and in a non-negotiable yet sweet voice, he said, “Be good, Amelia. Let Kurt

be your bodyguard. Only then will my mind be at ease. Kurt is a pretty good fighter, and he has quick

reflexes. He will definitely keep you safe when things get dangerous. Not to mention, he is extremely

loyal. He will stay true to his employer and will never betray you.”

Amelia’s lips twitched. It seemed like she had more to say, but Oscar put his finger on her lips to stop

her.

Meanwhile, Tiffany pouted and shrugged dismissively before she pointed out, “Mr. Clinton, this guy isn’t a

good-looking just-for-show bodyguard, is he? Back then, Gary promised that the bodyguards he hired

were trained and one of a kind. Remember how that ended? Things went sour on their first day! They

were lucky that Amelia was merciful and didn’t complain.”

Oscar shot a look at Kurt, who instantly understood what he was supposed to do. All they saw next was

his figure disappearing into thin air. Before anyone knew it, he was already sitting on the sofa that was at

least two meters away.

Tiffany was stunned. She blurted, “Holy cr*p! Do you know kung fu or something?”

Kurt had a poker face on as he remained silent.

Tiffany instantly turned into a fan. Without any hesitation, she ran over to give him a hug. To her surprise,

she ended up hugging the air and falling right onto the sofa.

Amelia saw that, and she couldn’t help yelping a little before asking softly, “Tiff, are you alright?”

Tiffany got up from the sofa and grunted.

Amelia couldn’t help laughing aloud when she saw the disheveled state Tiffany was in.

Tiffany wasn’t angry about it, though. If anything, she admired Kurt even more. She apologized, “Sorry,

turns out you are so much more than a pretty face, huh? Please forgive me for my ignorance and

misjudgment. I can’t believe I didn’t realize that you’re an expert. I apologize for being impolite earlier.”

Kurt’s lips started twitching once more. This woman is practically the epitome of what a weirdo is.

Amelia smiled in exasperation. She couldn’t help voicing out and reminding, “Tiff, stop messing around.”

Tiffany saw the annoyance on Kurt’s face, so she reverted to her normal self.

She scratched the back of her head a little before she said, “I was just joking around. Please don’t mind

me. I am writing an action-themed , and meeting you has inspired me greatly. Do you mind being

the leading character for my next ?”

Kurt was a little lost.

Amelia couldn’t help but explain, “Tiff is a freelance writer, and her is pretty popular. Her ideas and

writing are pretty wild and imaginative, so please don’t be frightened by her.”

Is it okay if I say that it is too late? That I am already traumatized? was what Kurt thought.
