Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 28

Tiffany’s operation had been going on for about nine hours before the red lights above the door finally extinguished. As the group of doctors walked out of the operating theatre, Amelia rushed up to them and asked anxiously, “Doctor, how is my friend?”

“Things are not looking so good. While we managed to save her, we still need to observe her for forty-eight hours in the intensive care unit. If she can wake up then, she’ll be fine. Otherwise, she might just remain in a vegetative state. Miss, I suggest that you make some preparations.”

Amelia was completely dumbfounded. Clutching onto the doctor’s arm, she continued asking worriedly, “What do you mean, Doctor? What do you mean by ‘vegetative state?’ She’s such a good person; she can’t be reduced to that state!”

Tiffany was her best friend and her family. While she could con money out of anybody with her face and her words, Tiffany was that one person that she could never lie to. In this cold and unfamiliar city, they only had each other to rely on.

Now that Tiffany was about to fall into a vegetative state because of her, she found herself driven to the brink of insanity. Her stomach knotted up in pain as beads of perspiration dotted her forehead.

Jimmy came forward to support and console her, “Mrs. Clinton, calm down. I’m sure Ms. Winters will be alright.”

The doctors were also sympathizing with her as they said, “Miss, please calm down. We will definitely do all we can to heal your friend.”

Amelia leaned weakly against Jimmy as her stomach hurt more by the second. In the end, she lost consciousness.

When she finally opened her eyes, she found herself on a hospital bed with Jimmy staring at her. When she saw that Amelia was awake, she said, “Mrs. Clinton, the doctor says you’re three months pregnant.”

Amelia’s pale face turned cold and she looked at Jimmy defensively. “What are you trying to do?”

Jimmy looked at her curiously and said solemnly, “Mrs. Clinton, this is good news. I’m sure Mr. Clinton will be overjoyed to hear it.”

Amelia calmed down and stared at Jimmy quietly. “Jimmy, let’s be frank with each other. You know my relationship with Mr. Clinton very well. If he finds out that I’m pregnant, he’ll definitely ask me to abort it. You’re a woman too; I don’t think you can bear to see a child being denied the very basic chance to live, right?”

Jimmy nodded and broke out into a smile. “Mrs. Clinton, I understand where you’re coming from. My job here is to take care of you, and it does not include telling Mr. Clinton about your pregnancy. Therefore, you don’t need to worry.”

Amelia heaved a sigh of relief and said sincerely, “Jimmy, I’m so sorry for misunderstanding you. Also, thank you!”

Jimmy shrugged her shoulders and smiled. “Don’t say that; I didn’t do anything anyway. Even though I’ve never had children, I do like them. Anyway, as an outsider, I’m in no position to help you decide whether to tell Mr. Clinton about your pregnancy.”

Color finally returned to Amelia’s face.

“No matter what, I still want to thank you,” Amelia said earnestly.

She then continued, “Oh yes, how long did I sleep for? And how’s Tiff?”

Jimmy said, “You were asleep for about three hours. The doctor said that you were too agitated, hence you fainted. But don’t worry, your baby is fine. About your friend, the doctor says they need to observe her for another forty-eight hours first.”
