Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 334

Chapter 334 She Merely Lost Her Eyes

“Are you all right, Babe?” asked Tiffany, as Amelia’s ever-evolving mood got her quite concerned.

Amelia appeared rather grim once she recollected herself. “I’m fine. Don’t worry about it.”

Tiffany clasped her friend’s hand between her own palms. “I’m sure it’s nothing. Even though Oscar went to the villa, I’m quite positive that Jeremy and the others wouldn’t divulge anything that they shouldn’t.”

That yielded a shake of the head and a subdued smile from Amelia. “I’m okay. It’s just that after so many months, I wasn’t expecting him to still be finding me. Could Tony really be so important to him that he wouldn’t even grant me my only wish?”

All Tiffany understood was that Amelia might be under some degree of misapprehension. “Babe, doesn’t it occur to you that perhaps he might actually not be completely over you?”

Amelia disagreed and replied with some poignancy, “I know my own place. He’s already got Isabella, and they are perfectly suited for each other, so I assume that he wouldn’t be pandering over some woman who left without a word.”

In actuality, Amelia was lacking in self-esteem way before she lost her sight. Even though she did her best to adopt a cheerful disposition, it would be disingenuous to claim that she was wholly unaffected by her own physical impairment. However, her mood had been mostly stable, and what had transpired did not make her temperamental. As far as that went, she was already managing the situation better than most.

She handled herself well compared to those who unexpectedly lost their sense of sight, or at least, the optimism she exuded sometimes led others to forget the fact that she was blind.

Tiffany hesitated when she regarded Amelia’s unfocused gaze. “Have you considered the possibility that Oscar might be going to this extraordinary length to locate you simply because he wants you back?”

 

That caused Amelia’s body to stiffen momentarily, and then she eked out a bitter smile. “I can’t see anymore. When he could practically have any woman he wants, someone like myself won’t be good enough for him.”

When it came down to it, it was her own inferiority complex that ultimately convinced her that her disability made her unfit for the seemingly perfect Oscar. The standout of a man was like the glorious sun that stood in stark contrast to the dying star that was herself. To her, clamoring to remain by his side would be unbecoming.

Tiffany’s brows creased into a furrow. “You’re a great person, Babe. I forbid you to think less of yourself.”

“I’m already blind, Tiff. I can’t even get myself to the restroom without help, and I am also dependent on Kurt and you to take care of Tony should he gets sick. Someone like me…” Amelia’s smile belied a hint of emptiness in her tone.

“Amelia.” Tiffany was not amused, and she was having none of it.

“Everything that I’ve said is the truth laid bare, Tiff, and I’ve made my peace with it, really,” Amelia countered gently.

“Stop putting yourself down like this. You’ve great qualities. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have had so many guys who were into you,” Tiffany replied in protest.
