Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 486 Chopped Into Pieces

The next morning, Olivia hurried over to the hospital with Owen when they were informed of Tony’s

hospitalization.

Olivia grasped Oscar’s hands when she entered the ward. “Oscar, why was Tony admitted into the

hospital all of a sudden?”

Oscar glanced at Olivia and explained with a hoarse voice, “Mom, the doctor said Tony had food

poisoning. Aside from having his meal at the Clinton residence, he did not eat any other food along the

way home. Tony began foaming at the mouth a short while after we went to sleep. Amelia and I were

terrified. We immediately brought him to the hospital. Then, the doctor performed a gastric lavage on

him and diagnosed him with food poisoning. At the very least, Tony is safe now. So, I am curious, how

could this happen to Tony while you were taking care of him?”

Oscar questioned his mother in agitation as he was worried about Tony for the whole night.

Olivia’s face turned pale. Her lips trembled as she replied in disbelief, “Tony had food poisoning? How

is that possible? I took great care when preparing his food, and I even fed him myself. There’s no way

something is wrong with his meals. Did the doctor misdiagnose his condition?”

Just then, Robert entered the ward.

Olivia hastily strode up to him and asked, “Robert, is it true that Tony had food poisoning?”

“Calm down, Olivia. That is true, but his condition is not severe. He will be as good as new after getting

a few days of rest,” said Robert to calm her down.

Olivia was reluctant to accept that fact as she could not fathom what had gone wrong with the food

Tony had eaten.

“How can this be? How is this possible? I had meticulously prepared Tony’s meals. There’s no way he

would get food poisoning after eating the food I prepared for him,” she said in distress.

Owen held her shoulders and said gently, “Calm down, Olivia. We will investigate this matter thoroughly

when we get back later. Tony may wake up at any moment, so you have to pull yourself together to

avoid scaring him.”

Olivia took a deep breath to recollect herself.

She walked up to the side of the bed and gazed at Tony, who was lying on the bed. “Tony, my Darling,

please wake up. Don’t scare your Grandma.”

Nothing came from Tony.

Amelia trudged to Olivia’s side. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Clinton. Tony will recover because he knows we are

all rooting for him.”

The latter looked up and glanced at Amelia with complicated emotions. Her lips twitched a little, but she

did not speak.

Under great care, Tony slowly regained consciousness as everyone had hoped.

Olivia rushed forward at once and whispered, “Tony? Tony, can you hear me?”

Tony scanned his surroundings and finally fixated his gaze on Amelia. He reached out his left hand that

was not attached to a drip and said with a pitiful voice, “Mommy, my stomach is hurting.”

His voice tugged at Amelia’s heartstring. Olivia unwillingly shuffled away when Amelia stepped closer

to the bed.

The latter crouched by the bedside and held Tony’s hand. “It’s going to be all right, Tony. Mommy is

here.”

Tony beamed at his mother and comforted her, “Don’t cry, Mommy. Your eyes will get puffy. Mommy

looks better without puffy eyes.”

Amelia sobbed uncontrollably upon listening to Tony’s words. Her son’s thoughtfulness touched her

despite being merely two years old. Amelia could not understand which inhumane person had

poisoned such a sweet child.

She then straightened herself and pecked a kiss on Tony’s forehead. “You’re a good boy, Tony. These

are tears of happiness. Mommy is simply glad that you’re awake.”

Tony gestured for Amelia to come closer. Then he kissed her on the cheek and said, “Don’t cry,

Mommy. Otherwise, I’ll start crying too. I know that I’m in a hospital, but I am not scared because

Mommy is here to accompany me. Am I right?”

Amelia burst into laughter with tears and snots on her face because Tony was too adorable.

Olivia felt mixed emotions churning within her as she took in the affectionate interaction between

Amelia and Tony. She began to doubt her decision and was reminded of Oscar’s warning. He had

mentioned that Olivia would mercilessly split Tony from his mother up, causing the child to miss out on

a mother’s love because of her stubbornness.

Olivia questioned herself in her mind. Am I holding on to the right thing? Will Tony really be happy if he

is separated from Amelia?

Her uncertainty grew, sensing how much Tony cared about Amelia.

Owen rested his hand on Olivia’s shoulders. He shook his head when she turned to look at him.

Olivia sighed and remained silent.

Then, Tony unexpectedly called out to her. Amelia stepped aside for Olivia to talk to Tony.

“What’s the matter, Tony?” Olivia asked softly.

Tony regarded her sincerely and blurted, “Grandma, I love you a lot. You are my favorite person aside

from Mommy, Daddy, and Tiffy. I like to be with my family, so can you please don’t chase Mommy away

anymore? I’m sad when Mommy is not around. Mommy also told me that Grandpa and Grandma love

me, so I am sure Grandma doesn’t want me to be sad, right?”

Tony’s wits caused Olivia to feel sad and happy at the same time because he seized the opportunity to

make requests while he was sick to gain pity. She would have felt overjoyed if he had not set her up.

Nonetheless, she felt more delight than unhappiness over the turn of events.

“Good boy. I’ll agree to anything you say as long as you stay healthy.” Olivia conceded.

Amelia gazed at her figure from behind with mixed emotions.

Olivia accompanied Tony in the ward until noon. She could finally rest assured after Tony had eaten the

porridge they bought. She did not dare to let him eat the porridge prepared by the chef at the Clinton

residence after Tony was met with such an unfortunate incident.

“Let’s go home, Olivia. There is an important matter we need to address to return Tony a justice,” Owen

uttered.

Olivia nodded in agreement.

Oscar and Amelia sent them off at the entrance of the ward.

Olivia glanced at Amelia, and she contemplated briefly before saying, “I have yet to forgive you,

Amelia. I agreed not to interrupt your relationship with Oscar, but that does not mean that I

acknowledge you. However, I will not deliberately make things difficult for you out of concern for Tony.

Also, I will investigate this incident thoroughly. That person who dared harm my grandchild will face my

wrath.”

She left with Owen after she was done, leaving no room for Amelia to speak.

Oscar held Amelia in his arms and said, “Seems like Mom no longer dislikes you as before, Amelia. I

have faith that one day she will accept you again. Let’s go inside for now. This issue between you and

Mom will resolve someday with Tony’s help.”

Amelia forced a smile in response.

Oscar kept quiet afterward and brought Amelia back into the ward.

Tony stared at Oscar and said, “Daddy, you are not allowed to bully Mommy anymore. Otherwise, I will

beat you up when I’m older.”

Oscar could not contain himself and laughed. He sat at the bedside and flicked Tony’s nose. “In that

case, you should get well soon. I heard that people who easily get sick could experience stunted

growth. So, you have to stay healthy from now on if you want to be tall when you’re older.”

Tony pouted. He looked at Amelia and asked, “Is that true, Mommy?”

Amelia burst into laughter. She could finally be at ease after feeling tensed for the entire night. She

walked over and tousled Tony’s hair. “Your daddy is lying, but Tony should be a good boy. You have to

protect Mommy and Daddy when you grow up, so you cannot hit Daddy. Do you understand me?”

Tony hesitated for a few seconds but ended up nodding his head.

“I will always remember Mommy’s words,” Tony said solemnly.

Amelia’s heart skipped a beat, taking in Tony’s reaction.

Someone knocked on the door just then, and the door was pushed open before Amelia could answer it.

Tiffany bolted to the side of the bed. “Are you all right, Tony?”

Tony tilted his head and beamed at Tiffany. “I’m fine, Tiffy. Why are you covered in sweat?”

Tiffany let out a sigh of relief. “You almost scared me to death, Tony. I came here as fast as I could

when I heard that you were hospitalized. I’m so glad that you’re okay.”

“Tiffy, I’m really fine. Mommy said that I’m a lucky star, so nothing bad will ever happen to me,” said

Tony as he shook his head.

Tiffany could not help but chortle.

She flicked Tony’s forehead and commented, “You sure are cheeky.”

Tony covered his forehead and pursed his lips. “You should not hit me, Tiffy. I’m sick, and my stomach

is still hurting.”

“I’m sorry, so don’t be mad at me,” Tiffany apologized.

“Haha… I fooled you, Tiffy.” Tony guffawed after successfully pulling the prank on Tiffany. Then he

accidentally hurt himself on the wound because of his exaggerated movement.

Tiffany was rendered speechless by Tony’s carefree attitude.

The latter finally fell asleep after messing around for some time.

Tiffany recomposed herself and inquired with all seriousness, “What happened, Amelia? How did Tony

get food poisoning all of a sudden? Did you find out the person who did this?”

Amelia shook her head. “We did not have the time to investigate this matter because Oscar and I have

been accompanying Tony here since he became sick.”

Tiffany frowned. “Do you need my help?”

Amelia forced a smile. “That’s not needed, Tiff. Oscar and I will handle this. We do not plan to let the

culprit off easy. That person is rotten to the core for harming a child.”

“That’s the spirit. Let me know when you find out that offender’s identity. That lunatic should be

chopped into pieces. That’s the only fair treatment!” Tiffany exclaimed in rage.
