Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 867 Familial Bond

“Kurt!” Amelia was sweating bullets when she woke up with a jolt.

“Did you have a bad dream, Mommy?” Tony was initially sitting on a chair, but he immediately rushed toward Amelia when he saw her waking up.

Amelia wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead and carried Tony up into her arms. “Tony, how's your godfather?”

Tony shook his head and furrowed his brows. “Daddy is still unconscious. Mommy, I was worried about you, so I came to see you. Tiffy has gone to see Daddy. She'll be back shortly.”

With Tony in her arms, Amelia got out of bed and wanted Tony to lead her to Kurt's ward. In her dream, Kurt was drenched in blood, and he was on the verge of death. Is the person who's supposed to take care of me and Tony going to die?

The moment Amelia and Tony arrived at the entrance, the door was already pushed open, and Tiffany was seen walking in from the outside.

“Babe, you're awake! Are you feeling okay?” Tiffany asked caringly.

“I'm fine. Where's Kurt? I need to see him,” Amelia answered hurriedly.

“Okay. I'll bring you there. He lost a lot of blood, but he's going to live. Don't worry.” Tiffany brought them to the ward, and a complicated look appeared on Amelia's face when she saw Kurt lying on the bed with his eyes shut. Deep down, she felt rather sad.

“Did the doctor say when he's supposed to wake up?” Amelia asked in a hoarse voice.

Tiffany deliberately answered in a relaxed tone, “If nothing goes wrong, he'll regain consciousness before night time. However, Kurt is strong. He might even wake up before that.”

Amelia stayed silent and continued to look at Kurt with her complicated gaze.

Tiffany knew how bad Amelia felt, so she pulled Amelia to the couch to sit her down. “Babe, Teddy told me about what happened. It was just an accident, and no one was at fault. Don't let it affect you so much, okay?”

Amelia heaved a silent sigh. “I know what you mean, Tiff. It's just that he risked his life to save me. I would be lying if I say I don't feel a thing for him. However, I've given my heart to Oscar. Although I was moved by Kurt and I promised to be with him, I'm never going to forget about Oscar. I don't think I'm treating him fairly. My heart is filled with guilt because I know I won't reciprocate his love for me.”

Hearing that, Tiffany let out a sigh as well. Oh, well... That kind of debt is the hardest to repay.

After that, both of them fell silent.

As expected, Kurt regained consciousness in the afternoon.

When he woke up, the first thing he asked was, “Is Amelia hurt?”

Tiffany shook her head. “She's fine. She went back to make you some soup, and she'll be back shortly. Did you know she worried about you more than anyone else when you got hurt?”

Kurt smiled when he heard that. “Since I got her to worry about me, I would say the injury is worth it.”

Tiffany glanced at him and uttered, “Judging by your tone, it appears you've deliberately gotten injured to get her attention.”

In response, Kurt merely smiled. He was neither denying nor confirming her speculation.

Seeing that, Tiffany gritted her teeth and gave him some water. She then sat on a chair and fixated her eyes on him. “Kurt, tell me the truth, okay? Did you take the bullet for her on purpose?”
