Too Much to Bear My Love

Indeed, Tiffany was the best shopper amongst freelance writers. She towed Amelia and shopped her way from the first floor to the third floor. They even bought several clothes before heading to the baby area on the fifth floor. The two then bought strollers and shoes for baby girls and boys. By the time they were done, they had bought five carts’ worth of items.

Massaging her temple as she stared at the carts, Amelia queried, “Tiff, don’t you think you’re buying a little too much?”

Tiffany let out an awkward laugh. “It is, but don’t worry. We can get them to deliver these to your doorstep. You won’t need to carry them yourself.”

Huffing in amusement, Amelia took out a card from her bag, about to make payments. However, Tiffany stopped her in the next second. “My dear, these are the gifts I’m buying for my godchild. You can’t fight with me on paying for these, or else I’ll never forgive you for this.”

Amelia then kept the card back into her bag.

In the end, Tiffany was the one who paid for everything. It was worth tens of thousands. Fortunately, although Tiffany was a freelance novelist, her novels sold well. The royalty fees she received were quite the amount, so she had much money saved in her bank account.

Amelia started, “Tiff, your book—The Flower’s Secret—should be selling quite well, right?”

Tiffany nodded. “My readers are very supportive, so I’ve sold hundreds of thousands of copies. I’ve got quite an amount of commission for it. If you divorce Oscar, you and I can raise the kid without any problems.”

Feeling touched, Amelia teased, “You’re gloating.”

Tiffany then hooked her arm around her shoulders. “My dear, your darling’s outstation. Do you want to stay at my place for a few nights?”

After a quick thought, Amelia nodded.

The two then left the mall together. After having dinner in a nearby restaurant, the two headed to the underground parking lot. However, right at the entrance of the parking lot, an Audi was speeding toward them. Their eyes widened at it, but Tiffany was the first to come back to her senses. She shoved Amelia aside and shouted, “Be careful!”

Amelia had to stumble several steps back before she could stop herself from falling. She could do nothing but watch as the speeding Audi crashed into Tiffany, sending her flying. Instead of stopping, the car sped off and soon disappeared into the night.

It took Amelia a long while before she rushed toward Tiffany. Crouching down and looking at the bloody Tiffany, Amelia cried out, “Tiff!” But there was no response from the woman.

As tears streamed down her face, Amelia took out her phone and tried to call an ambulance. Yet, her hands trembled too much for her to press those three numbers. Sobbing, she pleaded, “Can you call the ambulance for her?”

The passersby that crowded around her told her, “Miss, don’t panic. We’ve called the police and the ambulance. The ambulance will come soon.”

“Thank you!”
