Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 622 An Injury To The Head

Tiffany slumped against the backseat and said, “Amelia, can you send me home first?”

Amelia looked at Tiffany worriedly. “Tiff, are you okay? You don’t look so good.”

Tiffany placed a hand to her chest and replied, “I’m just a little panicky and furious. I will be fine in a

while.”

“You mustn’t let what Mrs. Hisson said bother you. She is Derrick’s mother, so don’t think about the

harsh things she said,” Amelia advised Tiffany.

“I’m not angry with her. Instead, I’m angry with myself. If she were not Derrick’s mother, I wouldn’t have

been able to control my temper. I would have beat her up. When we were having dinner, I could not

stop myself from imagining what it would be like to beat her up. I fear that I might lose control one day

and punch her. That would have felt nice.” Tiffany was still able to crack a joke.

Amelia chuckled in amusement.

“Don’t think about it. Mrs. Hisson will eventually realize what a good person you are. Time will reveal a

person’s true character. As long as you treat her well, she will eventually see how much you and

Derrick love each other and relent,” Amelia continued.

“I hope that is the case. However, Mrs. Hisson hates me too much. It is difficult.” Tiffany did not hold

any hope that Kate would change.

Amelia did not know what else to say to comfort Tiffany. During dinner just now, Kate kept verbally

attacking and mocking Tiffany. Thus, Amelia predicted that Tiffany and Derrick would have to put in a

lot of effort for their relationship to succeed.

It may even end in a tragedy.

Oscar sent Tiffany back to her neighborhood. Tiffany got out of the car and said goodbye to Amelia

before entering her apartment block.

After Tiffany disappeared into the building, Amelia turned to Oscar and looked at him lovingly, “Oscar, I

suddenly realized that I am fortunate. Although your parents were not completely happy with me, at

least they did not cause us trouble. I am truly thankful for that.”

“Don’t worry. The Hissons will eventually accept Tiffany. Old Mr. Hisson is a shrewd businessman. He

would not simply let go of the chance of a deeper alliance with the Clintons,” Oscar explained calmly.

“Tiffany and Derrick will get married eventually, so don’t worry about it.”

Amelia looked at Oscar puzzledly. “How are you so sure?”

“Old Mr. Hisson is not an idiot,” Oscar replied. “He is an intelligent man. Thus, he would naturally want

to have a closer relationship with the Clintons and ally with us.”

“The news that you accepted Tiff as your god-sister had gone out long ago, but Old Mr. Hisson hasn’t

done anything. Furthermore, Mrs. Hisson continued to look down on Tiff. Are you sure Old Mr. Hisson

would accept Tiff?” Amelia asked doubtfully. When it concerned Tiffany, it was difficult for Amelia to rely

on her logical mind to determine who was more advantageous in this situation.

“Honey, trust me. I am confident that Old Mr. Hisson is following the situation from afar. He is trying to

determine how much influence Tiffany has over us and see if I would help her. I have helped Tiffany

with the past few difficulties she faced. That would show Old Mr. Hisson that I valued her as my god-

sister,” Oscar said.

Amelia considered it for a while. There were still things that she did not understand.

“Oscar, has anyone told you that you look incredibly handsome when you are serious?” Amelia

remembered a pick-up line from the Internet and put it to use.

“Are you saying that I don’t look handsome on normal days?” Oscar teased.

“You’re always handsome, but I feel you are most handsome today,” Amelia replied.

Amelia and Oscar continued to tease each other. Suddenly, Amelia received a call from a hospital.

She pressed to answer it and went pale. “What happened? How did someone hit Dad’s head? Is he

okay? Okay, I will head there now. Please take good care of him.”

Then, Amelia hung up and said with a frown, “Oscar, we have to go to the hospital. Someone injured

my father’s head. I’m worried about him.”

“Sure.” Oscar sped up the car and brought them to the hospital in half an hour.

Amelia rushed into the hospital and took the elevator.

After coming out of the elevator, she continued to run until she saw Melanie. “Mom, what happened?

Why did someone attack Dad?”

Melanie looked at Amelia as if she had found her pillar of support. She grabbed Amelia’s hand and

cried, “Your brother is an insolent fool. Your father criticized him a little. Then, he lost his temper and

threw something at your father. It hit your father’s head and knocked him out. Your father is being

treated in the operating room. Why is my life so unfortunate? My son is ill, and my husband is knocked

unconscious by our son. If anything happens to your father, how am I to live?”

Amelia frowned and forced herself to calm down and comfort Melanie.

“Mom, please calm down. We are at the best private hospital around. There is James and other

outstanding doctors, so Dad is in good hands. Don’t frighten yourself. Oscar and I will be here. We

won’t let anything happen to Dad,” Amelia said.

“Amelia, you must save your father. I think Spencer didn’t mean it, so don’t blame him,” Melanie

pleaded.

Amelia felt uncomfortable when she heard that. Even now, her mother still protected Spencer and

disregarded her husband’s well-being.

Amelia did not know whether to feel anger or pity that her mother valued her son so much and

disregarded everyone else.

Since the importance of having a son to pass down the family name was deeply ingrained in Melanie,

Amelia realized it was pointless to scold her for covering up for Spencer.

Suddenly, the light over the operating room door went out, and a doctor came out of the operating

room. Amelia rushed to him and asked, “Doctor, how is my father?”

“There is nothing serious. We have bandaged his wound,” the doctor said.

Amelia breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Dominic walked out of the operating room with the support of two nurses. Melanie rushed to him

and asked, “Dominic, are you all right?”

Dominic’s head hurt badly, so he replied softly, “I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”

Then, he noticed Amelia and Oscar and forced himself to smile. “Amelia, Oscar, you’re here.”

Amelia said, “Dad, I hired two caretakers to keep watch on Spencer. You and Mom should stay in a

hotel for a while. It is too tiring for you to take turns watching him in the hospital.”

Melanie became afraid that Amelia would do something to Spencer. Therefore, she said urgently,

“There’s no need for that. Your father and I can do it. You don’t have to concern yourself with this.”

Amelia smiled and did not press the matter.

On the other hand, Dominic was overwhelmed by the pain in his head and said, “Thank you, Amelia. I

would like to have a good sleep in a bed. I have enough of that useless son.”

“Dominic, are you crazy? How can you let Amelia hire caretakers for Spencer? What if they do

something to him?” Melanie said urgently.

Dominic glared at her furiously.

Amelia did not seem bothered by what Melanie said, but Oscar narrowed his eyes and was displeased

with Melanie.

Melanie realized that she had misspoken and smiled awkwardly. “Amelia, I didn’t mean it. Please don’t

take it to heart.”

Amelia shook her head.

“Dad, I had someone arrange a presidential suite for you to rest. You will feel better after a good sleep.

I think Mom can stay here to watch Spencer. Then, she wouldn’t have to worry about me sending

people to harm him,” Amelia said calmly.

Melanie turned pale upon hearing her.

“Oscar, let’s send Dad to the hotel,” Amelia said.

Oscar nodded.

He and Amelia supported Dominic on each side and entered the elevator. However, Melanie remained

on her spot and glared at them as they disappeared into the elevator.

“Amelia, this hotel is too grand. It must be expensive. Why don’t we change to a simpler place to stay.”

Dominic looked at the exquisitely decorated suite and became frightened by the cost.

“Dad, don’t worry. Oscar invested in this hotel. Therefore, we can use the presidential suite for free,”

Amelia said.

“Really?” Dominic remained uncertain.

Amelia nodded and calmed Dominic.

“Amelia, please don’t mind what your mother said just now. She was worried about Spencer,” Dominic

explained apologetically.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry. Dad, didn’t you and Spencer get along? Why did he suddenly throw things and

hurt you?” Amelia asked.

Dominic instantly fell silent.

“It’s okay, Dad. You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to. Anyway, you should have a good rest.

Oscar and I will keep guard outside the room. We will leave when you are better,” Amelia said.

Dominic’s eyes flashed with guilt. He opened his mouth as if wanting to say something but stopped

himself.

“Dad, you should go to bed. Oscar and I will be right outside,” Amelia reminded.

Dominic looked at Amelia and nodded.
