Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 490 A Sensible Son

Amelia opened the door for Noah and Isabella when they arrived. Although she was shocked to see

them, she still invited them in courteously.

A hint of hatred flashed across Isabella’s eyes when she saw Anthony lying in bed. I hope that kid

never wakes up! Amelia would be so devastated, and I can finally have Oscar all to myself.

“Oscar.” Isabella walked toward Oscar and asked in a concerned tone, “How are you doing?”

Oscar furrowed his brows as he looked at her with detest. “Why are you guys here?”

“I heard something happened to Tony. That’s why I brought my brother along to visit. Is he all right?”

Isabella then pretended to be concerned and walked toward Anthony. “When I was on the way here,

Mrs. Clinton told me Tony is suffering from food poisoning. Not only that, she said it’s because of the

yogurt I asked Noah to buy. I’m so sorry. Back then, when I wanted to drink it, Stephanie told me to

give it to the maid’s kid instead. Since Stephanie had already said so, what else could I have done? So,

I asked Noah to give it to the kid standing by the tree instead. Anyway, what I want to say is that I didn’t

do anything to the yogurt. I mean, I have no reason to do so.” Isabella explained.

After that, she solemnly bowed facing Oscar, and apologized, “Oscar I didn’t know Tony would end up

drinking the yogurt. Obviously, I didn’t have any intention of causing harm to anybody. That being said,

you can blame me if you want because this wouldn’t have happened if I never said I wanted some

yogurt.”

Oscar stared coldly at her. “Are you done?”

Isabella straightened her body and looked at Oscar with her puppy eyes. “Oscar, can’t you forgive me?”

“Buzz off! I suggest the two of you stay out of my sight while I’m still pissed off. Otherwise, there’s no

guarantee what I might do to you.”

Isabella instantly burst into a flood of tears. “Oscar, I really didn’t do this on purpose. I had no idea that

the yogurt would cause food poisoning. Mrs. Clinton told me this happened to Tony because the food

he ate that night reacted badly with the yogurt. Please forgive me! I didn’t plan for any of this to

happen.”

Oscar’s frown deepened upon hearing that.

Just then, Amelia stepped in and stood in between Oscar and Isabella. She looked at Isabella’s teary

face indifferently and urged, “We can talk about it when Tony has recovered, Ms. Walker. Others might

think Oscar is purposely making life difficult for you if you keep crying.”

Upon seeing Amelia’s emotionless facial expression, raw hatred surged within Isabella. Perhaps she

didn’t want to embarrass herself in front of Amelia, she quickly wiped the tears off her face. “Ms.

Winters, I’d like to apologize to you as well. I didn’t know the yogurt that I brought would end up

causing a series of unfortunate events. I’m not a cruel person who would cause harm to children.

Besides, I didn’t know why Tony would even drink something that wasn’t his in the first place.” What

Isabella was trying to imply was that Anthony had snatched the yogurt from the kid and drank it.

Upon her words, Amelia’s gaze grew cold. “Ms. Walker, are you trying to say that my son is so ill-

mannered that he’d snatched the yogurt from the maid’s son?”

A contemptuous grin appeared on Isabella’s face. However, before she could say anything in response,

Noah pulled her back and stood in front of her.

With a gentle gaze, Noah looked at Amelia and apologized, “I’m so sorry if my sister has offended you,

Ms. Winters. That’s not what she meant. In fact, she felt very guilty when we were on our way here.

She’d even said Tony wouldn’t be how he is now if it wasn’t for her craving for yogurt. Although we

never did anything to the yogurt, it doesn’t change the fact that Tony is hospitalized because of it. We’re

very sorry for what happened. I hope you can find it in yourself to forgive us. Since I’ve already been

with Stephanie for almost two years now, I really don’t wish for this to be an issue in our relationship.

Will you forgive me?”

Upon seeing how sincere Noah seemed to be, Amelia couldn’t bear to speak negatively. He’s so

different from his sister! Compared to her, he’s so much more civilized and polite. He seems like a

perfect gentleman.

“Mr. Walker, if everything happened because of the other things Tony ate, then I have no reason to

blame you. I’d be grateful if you could apologize to Tony when he wakes up,” Amelia said.

“Please, just call me Noah, Ms. Winters. After all, we’ll be a family in the future. Once I’m married to

Stephanie, Oscar would be my brother-in-law, and you’d be my sister-in-law.” Noah was gentle and

polite with his words.

Upon seeing that, Amelia’s impression of him had improved. At least he’s not as annoying as Isabella.

Right then, Anthony regained his consciousness and complained about his itchy arms.

Amelia rushed toward him and rowed up his sleeves. To her dismay, she saw a red patch on his arm.

She then anxiously called out, “Oscar, go get the doctor! There’s a red patch on Tony’s arm. I’ll check

his body.”

Oscar dashed out of the ward instantly. As Amelia flipped through Anthony’s shirt, she saw red spots all

over the boy’s back.

Tears swirled inside Amelia’s eyes as she mumbled to herself, “What’s going on?”

Since Anthony was fair-skinned, the red spots appeared even more apparent.

Noah walked up to her and comforted her, “Don’t worry. I think he’s just having an allergy. Please calm

down. Otherwise, you might spook Tony.”

Amelia calmed down when she took a glance at Noah.

“Thank you,” she replied sincerely.

Soon, the doctor arrived. After checking, the doctor said Anthony was just having an allergy. It only

seemed serious because of Anthony’s fair skin.

“Doctor, is Tony really all right? I saw red spots on his back as well. Does he need an injection? I can’t

bear to see him like this.” Amelia frowned.

“He’ll be fine. I’ll prescribe him some medication later. For the next few days of his stay, please watch

his diet. It’s better to avoid seafood and anything spicy. Oatmeal would be best because it’s easier to

digest,” the doctor advised.

Amelia nodded profusely.

Anthony’s nose wrinkled up when he grumbled, “Doctor, will I become ugly from this? What if I can’t

find a girlfriend as pretty as my mommy in the future?”

Hearing that, Amelia couldn’t help but laugh.

The doctor was amused as well. “Don’t worry, little one. You’ll grow up to be a handsome man! By then,

you can have as many women as you like. However, it’s better to be loyal and love one woman truly.

Otherwise, you’d end up with no one by your side in the end!”

Anthony didn’t understand what the doctor was saying at all.

“Remember to take your medication, little one. I’ll have to go and check on the other patients now.”

Before the doctor left, he couldn’t help but praise Anthony, “You’re so much braver than the other kids,

little one. You’re like a superman! So don’t cry and make your mom worry, okay?”

Anthony put on a serious expression and said, “I am superman! Don’t worry, I won’t make my mommy

worry about me. I’ll recover from this and grow big and tall so that I can protect her.”

“Good boy!” With that, the doctor left.

After that, Amelia looked at Anthony with worried eyes. Anthony, being the sensible kid that he was,

comforted Amelia, “Mommy, I’m all right. I don’t feel the itch anymore.”

Hearing that, Amelia felt a warmth in her heart. She patted her son’s head and said, “You’re such a

good boy, Tony. I know you’re going to recover from this.”

Anthony nodded. “I’ll protect you, Mommy. I won’t let sadness ever get to you.”

In response, Amelia flashed a smile. “You’re a good boy, Tony.”

Grinning, he replied, “You’re a good girl too, Mommy.”

Amelia was no longer as worried after seeing how thoughtful Anthony was.
