Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 708 Her Chance

“I couldn’t get through to him. At this time of the year, he’s deep inside the forest to find the herbs he needs. He doesn’t get much reception there, so we can rarely get to him. If he needs something, he’ll call us. Otherwise, I think we’ll only be able to contact him three months later.”

James’ words had shattered Amelia’s hopes.

She looked dejected.

Right then, Oscar put his arm around her shoulder and said, “Don’t worry. I’ve already contacted the top neurosurgeons from abroad, and they should be here soon.”

Amelia merely leaned on his shoulder and kept mum. What did I do to deserve this? Ever since I was involved in the car accident when I was pregnant with Tony, it seems that I’m drawn to the hospitals for some inexplicable reason. Everyone around me has fallen sick with minor and major illnesses. At this point, I feel like there’s a better chance of someone I know getting admitted to the hospital than me winning the lottery.

James stayed in Saspiuburg for a few days before he flew back to Tayhaven. Back in Tayhaven, he had a major surgery to carry out, so he couldn’t stay in Saspiuburg for long.

Amelia and Oscar both sent James to the airport. When they were on their way back, Oscar noticed how tired Amelia looked. Not only did she have dark eye circles, but she had also lost a lot of weight. Oscar’s heart broke when he saw the state she was in.

Oscar frowned and said, “Amelia, I’ll send you back to the hotel for a rest, okay? If you carry on like this, I’ll be heartbroken.”

Amelia shook her head. “Oscar, I’m fine. I just need a shuteye. With the condition Mom is in, I won’t be able to fall asleep even if I am to go back to the hotel.”

Oscar glanced at her through the rearview mirror and saw how conspicuous her dark eye circles were because of her fair skin. Although his heart was aching, he knew he couldn’t convince her, so he felt rather helpless.
