Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 789

The moment Derrick arrived at the hospital, he asked anxiously, "Amelia, how is Tiff?" Before he knew it, Amelia slapped him forcefully across his face.

Despite being momentarily stunned by the impact, he ignored his burning cheek and repeated his question, "What happened to her?"

Waving the photos in her hand, Amelia sneered, "Derrick, during your wedding not too long ago, you vowed to go through thick and thin with Tiff. Therefore, is this the way you live up to your promise?"

Derrick smiled wryly. "Would you believe me if I told you there's nothing going on between Crystal and me? And that I'm a foolish victim of someone's plot?"

After a brief hesitation, Amelia eased her tone. "Why did you even go to a bar with her? The dim lights and sensual atmosphere make it tempting for men and women to flirt. This is something you know better than anyone else. Furthermore, Crystal's feelings for you are obvious. Therefore, regardless of your reason, you shouldn't have gone there with her, but you did. That, to me, is considered a form of betrayal."

With a darkened expression, Derrick explained, "My mom was in a coma for a few days, and the doctor even warned that she might not ever wake up and could become a vegetable. With the Hissons blaming Tiff for it, I was torn between my mother and my wife. So, when I was feeling extremely pressured, I agreed to her invitation for a drink in a moment of weakness."

Having heard his explanation, Amelia laughed out loud instead.

Derrick, it's not that I'm unwilling to believe you, but your excuse is a terrible one." Amelia added, "Anyway, this is between Tiff and you, so I'm staying out of it. You can tell her yourself when she wakes up."

As Amelia and Oscar had sent Tiffany to the hospital in the nick of time, her high fever didn't deteriorate into pneumonia. Therefore, she had recovered that night itself.

The moment she woke up, she saw Derrick sleeping on the chair beside the bed.

As her heart ached at the sight, she felt the urge to stroke his head but ended up being restrained by her IV drip.
