Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 882 Incomplete Memory

Meanwhile, Kurt was unaware of Tony’s upset. After leaving the apartment, he asked Hugo to meet him. Tiffany phoned Kurt right away after listening to Tony, but Kurt rejected her call.

She immediately ran upstairs and woke Amelia up to tell the latter about Kurt’s odd behavior. As Amelia listened to Tiffany, she felt her head throbbing. Although she was hurt because of Oscar’s aloofness, she was not weak enough to need someone else to solve her problems.

She asked Tiffany to hand over her own phone before calling Kurt. To her surprise, Kurt declined the call no matter how many times she tried. It was at that moment she realized things were getting out of hand. It’s likely that Kurt has decided to do something.

In distress, she rubbed her forehead. Everything was a mess, and it felt as if trouble kept coming one after another.

Left with no choice, she began texting Kurt: Kurt, call me right away after seeing my text. I don’t need you to do anything for me. If something happens to you because of me, I will never forgive myself. Go ahead if you want me to live in guilt for the rest of my life.

She then sent a second message: Call me right now, Kurt. I’m already having gastric problems. Don’t make things more difficult for me.

Kurt was driving when he saw those two texts. His eyes darkened as he pondered for a while, but in the end, he deleted the messages without even replying.

For a long time, Amelia clutched the phone in anticipation. However, no messages—let alone calls—came from Kurt. This was something he had never done before.

Her heart started to beat faster and faster as she realized Kurt was serious this time.

She paced back and forth in the room with deeply furrowed brows. All of a sudden, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly dialed Hugo’s number.

“Hugo, I know Kurt contacted you. Tell me where you agreed to meet. I believe you also don’t want him to do anything foolish. You’re his closest friend, after all,” Amelia said with certainty.

She knew that Kurt and Hugo were as close as brothers despite not being related by blood. Thus, it was possible that Kurt would talk to Hugo about his decisions and even make the latter cover for him. That was why she thought of calling Hugo.

On the other end of the line, Hugo stayed silent for a long time.

Amelia tensed up at that, her grip around the phone tightening. “Hugo, I know you want the best for Kurt. I only want to know where you agreed to meet. Just like you, I don’t want anything bad to happen to him.”

Eventually, Hugo gave in and told her an address. Having made the right choice to call Hugo, Amelia sighed in relief. After thanking Hugo, she hung up and asked Tiffany to take care of Tony as she would be meeting Kurt to talk to him.

“Will you be okay by yourself?” Tiffany asked worriedly. “Don’t worry. This is my problem, so I should be the one to resolve it. I’m not weak enough to let others clean up my mess,” said Amelia with determination.

She knew that her bad mood for the past few days had affected her best friend, who cared for her the most. It was her fault for not dealing with the matter properly, so now, she would take care of it.

Seeing the resolute look in her eyes, Tiffany could only nod and say, “If you can’t handle it, call me. Don’t force yourself to bear it alone, okay?”

Amelia flashed her a smile in response. Then she gathered her things and left in a hurry.

After arriving at the address Hugo gave her, she saw Kurt and Hugo. From the way they were looking at each other, it seemed like they were in the middle of an argument.

As Kurt had his back to Amelia, he did not know of her presence when she approached them. Naturally, Amelia heard everything that he was saying.

“Hugo, I trusted you. How could you tell Amelia? I don’t want to see her sad,” Kurt voiced with frustration. Hugo merely glanced at Amelia before patting Kurt’s shoulder.

“If you don’t want to see her sad, you can tell her yourself. There’s no point in taking the risk and provoking Boss. If he gets mad, not even I can help you.”

Hearing that, Kurt tensed up and looked at Hugo with a complex expression. He slowly turned around and, at the sight of Amelia, sighed in his heart.

He didn’t want Amelia to find out what he was doing, yet Hugo still went ahead and told her about it. Even though he felt upset, he couldn’t do anything about it now.

Hugo nodded at Amelia and walked away swiftly, not giving Kurt any chance to react. The latter could only shoot a glare at Hugo’s back.

“Kurt, let’s go. Let’s sit down somewhere and have a talk,” suggested Amelia with a faint smile. Kurt nodded.

Soon, they came to a beverage shop and sat in a corner. While they waited for the drinks, Amelia stared at the scenery outside the window as if Kurt wasn’t there. Even when he tried to talk to her, she pretended not to hear him.

Once again, Kurt sighed soundlessly. It was only when their drinks were served that Amelia broke the heavy silence.

“Kurt, I’m really grateful for everything you did for me. However, I will not thank you for risking your life to stand up for me. I’m not a weak woman who only knows to hide behind a man, and I don’t need anyone’s pity. I will handle the matter between me and Oscar myself,” she told him, not bothering to beat around the bush.

Kurt pursed his lips and looked at her intently.

Meanwhile, Amelia stared back at him and spoke nonchalantly. “I know I may sound mean, but if you were to act recklessly today and offend Oscar, I wouldn’t thank you. On the contrary, I would blame you for doing something unnecessary. Oscar is already bothered by our relationship in the first place. Do you want him to think that I’m an indecent flirt who will accept anyone?”

At that point, Kurt’s expression turned grim. As Amelia sipped on her drink, her mood seemed to improve. “Kurt, I just want to tell you that I want to handle this matter personally.”

“I know very well that he is under hypnosis now. Aside from bringing him to the psychiatrist to test if deep hypnosis will work on him, what else can you do?” Kurt pointed out bluntly. He continued, “Boss is too strong, and I can’t think of any way other than taking him by force. That was why I decided to take the risk. Do you think I was wrong? I just don’t want to see you frowning and being troubled.”

Instinctively, Amelia grasped her straw. “Are you sure he was hypnotized?” she asked a bit nervously.

She had heard that hypnosis was powerful enough to distort someone’s memory, but it would only work on someone who was utterly unwary. Oscar is a very strong-willed man. How did Isabella manage to mess with him right under his nose?

As if sensing Amelia’s confusion, Kurt explained, “According to my friend, a drug that can cause temporary unconsciousness was developed overseas a couple of years ago. Whoever takes it will appear normal on the outside, but their mind will be blank. They will only listen to the orders of the person who drugged them.”

Amelia immediately remembered how Oscar left the house with Isabella for unknown reasons a year ago. Now that she thought about it, it was possible that he had already been drugged by Isabella at that time. At that realization, she couldn’t help but blame her inattentiveness.

I’m Oscar’s wife, yet I failed to notice something so simple. I am also at fault for his departure. Had I been more vigilant, Isabella wouldn’t have gotten any chances. I should have known that she’d do everything she could to snatch Oscar from me.
