Too Much To Bear My Love

Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 60

After hanging up the phone, Oscar floored the accelerator and headed to the hospital, but it was the rush hour and traffic was heavy. Thus, he got out of the car and hailed a motorcycle taxi. With a serious look on his face, he told the driver, “To the Principal General Hospital, please.”

Seeing his expression, the driver was too frightened to react. Growing displeased, Oscar growled, “Hurry.”

The driver panicked and repeated himself a few times. He then drove as fast as he could and only arrived at the hospital after about thirty minutes.

Upon arrival at the hospital, Oscar asked the nurse, who then told him that Amelia was undergoing an operation in the operating room on the third floor.

He went to the third floor and felt perturbed upon seeing that the surgery was still going on. A middle- aged man standing on the other side saw him and went to him timidly, asking, “A-Are you the husband of the woman?”

Oscar gave him a piercing look, scaring the living daylights out of him.

“You’re the one who just called me?” asked Oscar.

The middle-aged man nodded.

“How did my wife get into a car accident? She was fine when I talked to her on the phone,” Oscar questioned with a frown.

The middle-aged man flinched as he replied fearfully, “I-I was in a hurry and ran the red light, so the lady swerved—”

Before he could finish speaking, Oscar lifted him off the ground and warned, “If something happens to my wife, I won’t let you off.”

“Sir, I didn’t run the red light on purpose. It’s just that I need money for my kids’ school, so I was in a hurry to go to work. I didn’t expect a car to come out so suddenly—”

Oscar punched him in the face before he could finish his sentence. Two police officers, who happened to come over to ask about the accident, saw Oscar’s action and hurriedly rushed up to them. “Sir, you can’t just hit people!”

Fuming with anger, Oscar protested, “This man’s the reason why my wife is in the operating room. Shouldn’t I beat him up? If it weren’t for him, Amelia wouldn’t have to suffer in the operating room.”

The two police officers fell silent.

“Did you run the red light and cause her to have an accident?” the female officer asked.

The middle-aged man became even more frightened as he replied, “I didn’t mean it, officer. Can you not put me in jail? I have a family to feed, and the kids still need me. I need to make money for their tuition fees.” This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“Sir, don’t be afraid. We’re just taking you back to get some information,” the female office assured gently.

The middle-aged man covered his face with his hands and burst into tears. “I don’t want to go to jail. I still have a big family to feed.”

“Sir, if you continue to be like this, you’ll be obstructing us in performing our official duties, and we’ll need to get rough with you.” The two officers picked him up.

As Oscar walked up to the middle-aged man, the officers warned, “Sir, hitting people is against the law. We understand how you feel after the unfortunate incident that happened to your wife. But before we find out what has happened, please calm down and stop hitting people.”

“I don’t hit people. I just want him to give me my wife’s phone back,” stated Oscar.

With a pale face, the middle-aged man handed the phone to Oscar, who then took the phone and sat on the bench. He wanted to check her phone, but a passcode was required to unlock it. He tried to insert his birthdate and to his surprise, it was the correct passcode. Browsing through her phone, he was surprised to find that it was filled with his photos and posts about her feelings.

One of them read: I think I’ve fallen in love with Oscar. When I first married him, it was only because of money, but now, I’ve really fallen for him. Unfortunately, he only treats me like a sex toy. I don’t know if it’s right or wrong to fall in love with him, but I just do. There’s no turning back in love.

Another read: Today, he told me that Cassie is coming back soon, so he wanted to divorce me. I had mixed feelings when he said that because I don’t want to divorce. I’ve already paid off my debts. Even if I no longer need money from him, I’m still willing to be with him. Sadly, he only has eyes for Cassie, not me. Hearing him call me a toy or a pet actually upset me. I tried asking him what he would do if I was pregnant, but he wanted me to abort it. Thus, I don’t dare to tell him about my pregnancy. This is our baby. Even if we divorce in the future, this child will be all I’ve left of him. In hindsight, if I had known that I would fall in love with him, I might not have married him, nor would I have let my baby lose his father even before he’s born.

The next read: I’ve been pregnant for three months now. The doctor said that the baby is very healthy. I’m very happy. I can feel the baby growing slowly in my belly. I’m starting to feel not as sad anymore even if Oscar wants to divorce me. As long as the child is born safely, I’ll shower him with both motherly love and fatherly love.

A more recent one read: The Clintons have begun to suspect that I’m pregnant. I’m really afraid that they’ll find out the truth. My mother-in-law really loves me, but Oscar is too cruel. Once he finds out that I’m really pregnant, he might ask me to abort it. I can’t risk losing my child while losing him at the same time. I’m afraid I’ll grow to hate him after losing my child. He’s the only man I’ve ever loved and slept with. I don’t want to end our relationship with hatred.

The latest read: I want to go to Saspiuburg. In addition to training, I actually want to avoid the Clintons and give birth to the baby safely, but Oscar uncharacteristically wants me to stay. I’m afraid that he’s actually found out about my pregnancy and wanted me to abort it. I’m in a very complicated mood now. I don’t know how I’m gonna face him when he asks me to abort the baby. He’s quite a monster sometimes. He can break the heart of the woman who truly loves him.

Having read those entries, Oscar was struck dumb at the truth that she was pregnant. Upon learning about this, he did not think of abortion. Instead, he developed a sense of fatherhood. However, the trepidation he sensed from Amelia’s posts made his heart ache. He realized that he had been treating her badly.

I was the one who wanted an abortion at the time. What a jerk I am. How can I push my own wife into a corner like this? And now she’s in the operating room fighting death… He could not imagine losing Amelia and his baby due to the car crash; he did not want anything to happen to them.

It was not until Amelia had entered the operating room that he realized that she was not just a tool for him to vent his desires and that he might have a little affection for her. He did not dare to find out if he had unwittingly fallen in love with her as it made him feel like he had betrayed Cassie.

With his hands supporting his forehead, he was lost in thought.

After some time, the door of the operating room opened and a group of doctors came out. Rising to his feet, Oscar walked over quickly and asked the man leading the group, “Mr. Lancester, how’s Amelia?”

“Don’t worry, Oscar. Your wife is fine, but the baby’s a little breech. She needs to recuperate,” Robert Lancester, who was also the chief of the hospital, answered with a smile.

Oscar breathed a sigh of relief.

Robert added, “Oscar, you’re not young anymore. Now that you finally have a baby with Amelia, you should focus more on your family instead of work. Take good care of your wife. She’s already five months into pregnancy. Don’t let her get too busy.”

“Thank you, Mr. Lancester. I’ll get people to send you the equipment that you wanted soon,” replied Oscar, nodding.

“Don’t stand on ceremony, Oscar. We’re family friends for so many years. Anyway, your parents must be very happy now, right? They have been looking forward to having a grandchild for so long.” Robert smiled.

“Yes, they are. Thank you so much, Mr. Lancester.”

“No worries. Amelia will be sent to the ward in a while, so you can visit her later. By the way, since she’s pregnant now, it’s better that your mom comes and takes care of her. Women are more attentive than men, after all.”

With that, Robert left with the other doctors and nurses.

As Amelia was sent to a VIP ward, Oscar followed. Watching her lying unconscious on the bed, he felt a throbbing pain in his heart. He sat on the chair and reached out to touch her but did not after looking at her pale face.

He shifted his gaze to the bump on her belly and complicated emotions flashed across his eyes as he muttered, “Amelia, you’re getting so good at lying now, huh? How can you lie to me that you’re just

gaining weight? But I know it’s my fault too. If I hadn’t wanted you to abort the baby, you would have told me about your pregnancy happily.”

Oscar was having mixed feelings at this moment. He wanted this baby, but the thought of Cassie, who was about to come back, stopped him from having this thought. However, he could not bring himself to tell Amelia to abort the child as well after seeing her lie on the bed looking so haggard.

Even though he acted indifferent and cruel toward Amelia, he knew deep down that he had a soft spot for her.

Upon deliberation, he took out his phone and made a call. After the call was answered, he said dully, “Mom, Amelia’s pregnant. She’s at the Principal General Hospital now.”

After speaking, he hung up the phone before Olivia could ask anything.

Half an hour later, Olivia and Owen rushed to the hospital and were told by Robert that Amelia was five months pregnant and that she had nearly lost the baby in the car accident just now. He also told them that although Amelia and her baby were fine, she needed to rest well, otherwise, it would not do her any good.

Upon learning about Amelia’s pregnancy, Olivia was overjoyed, but the mention of the car crash gave her the scare of her life. Grabbing Robert’s hand anxiously, she asked, “Robert, are Amelia and her baby really fine? Maybe you should give her another check-up. She’s the only daughter-in-law of our family, and the baby she carries is our first grandchild. I don’t want anything to happen to them.”

“Don’t worry. I also treat Amelia like my daughter, so I dote on her too. Both she and her baby are perfectly fine,” reassured Robert.

Then, he told them which ward Amelia was staying.
