Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 596 Avoid Direct Conflict

The condition of the Winters family’s eldest son was more critical than they had initially expected. For some reason, his kidney and liver were rapidly hardening, and he seemed to have aged so much compared to his appearance more than half a month ago.

Seeing her son in this state, Melanie felt like her heart was torn to a million pieces. I have a hunch that this is all Amelia’s fault for colluding with the doctor. My darling son is obviously on the brink of life and death, yet she insists on having the doctor say that this is normal! Oh, my son, do wake up and get well soon! I don’t want to have to send my own son off!

Heartbroken, the woman covered her mouth and began to sob. She wished she could take her son’s place and suffer in his stead!

Amelia and Tiffany stared at Spencer, who lay on the hospital bed, connected to an oxygen tank. Their expressions were grim, and their hearts were overflowing with mixed emotions.

As Tiffany reflexively glanced at Amelia, her lips were quivering as though she wanted to say something. However, Amelia shook her head at her.

“Dad, I’ll go and ask the doctor,” said Amelia.

Melanie raised her head and glared at Amelia with bloodshot eyes. Agitatedly, she hissed, “It was your husband who arranged for my son to be hospitalized here at the beginning, and the doctor promised that your brother would be fine. But look at what happened! It’s only been slightly more than half a month, and he’s already so sickly! How could you be so cruel so as to conspire with the doctor to take Spencer’s life? You just hate to see our family prosper, don’t you? I should’ve just committed suicide back then and refused the Huttons, and your brother wouldn’t have ended up like this!”

Amelia kept quiet. A pang of pain flashed across her eyes.

I’m destined never to be able to be part of the Winters family.

“Mrs. Winters, how could you say that? Amelia did it out of her kindness! How did it end up as an act of cruelty in your eyes? Life and death are out of our control, and no one wished for this to befall Spencer! You’re blaming Amelia for everything! Can’t you be more reasonable?” said Tiffany.

Eyeing Amelia grudgingly, Melanie uttered through gritted teeth, “If she can return my son healthily to me, I promise to treat her with the utmost respect.”

“You’re simply unbelievable!” exclaimed Tiffany before she dragged Amelia out of the ward.

Dominic looked at his wife and asked, “Why do you have to be this way?”

“Our son is already so severely ailed; can you really bring yourself to say that Amelia’s not involved in this? We have no enemies other than her. Plus, the doctor mentioned that someone had intentionally added something into Spencer’s medication.”

The man fell silent.

“You see her as your own daughter, but she might not necessarily view you as her father. Don’t forget how you’ve treated her all these years. She’s human, too; it’s impossible for her not to have the slightest bit of hatred toward us. That’s it. I’m going to find Mr. Wick for assistance. We can ask him to help transfer Spencer to a different hospital. Otherwise, death is the only option if he remains here.” Melanie frantically took out the card that June had left for her. She was going to dial the number written on it, but Dominic stopped her unexpectedly.

“Are you done being ridiculous?” her husband remarked in a hoarse voice.

Melanie tried to snatch the card that Dominic had taken from her, but he dodged her advances.

“That’s enough! Will you only be satisfied when this family comes apart?” reprimanded Dominic.

However, the person infiltrated your brother’s ward disguised as a doctor. He was extremely clever in avoiding the security cameras, so we could only get a shot of his back, not his face. We can only wait for the police to crack the case. As for your brother, it seems that he was injected with a new type of drug by that person.
