Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 395 Meeting Tony

Amelia stayed at the hospital for a couple more days so James could perform a final health check. It was vital to ensure that her body was not rejecting the transplanted cornea.

Oscar took it upon himself to pack Amelia’s luggage while Tiffany stood to the side with her arm linked through Amelia’s. “Babe, how do you feel about leaving the hospital?” she asked with a grin.

Amelia mirrored her elated expression. “My heart is pounding with excitement. I never thought this day would come so quickly. I can finally see again!”

“People say that after a storm comes a calm. Things will only get better from here onward. Now that your eyes are completely healed, your next blessing will be your children. They’ll grow up to be successful people, so you’ll get to sit back and bask in their filial affection.”

Amused by her friend’s words, Amelia shook her head.

“My only wish for them is to be safe and sound—protected from diseases and shielded from disasters. The amount of money we earn now is more than enough to sustain them for their entire lives even if they don’t work at all. As long as they’re healthy and well, I’m contented. I don’t need my children to be outstanding to be happy,” Amelia said lightly. These were her innermost thoughts. Perhaps she had been deprived of attention when she was young, but her only goal as a mother was to shower her children with unconditional love and educate them to be cultured people. Raising her children to be successful entrepreneurs was never on her list.

“Babe, you’re a great mother, and I think you’ve made a wise decision. Let’s visit Tony now. He misses you badly. After all, you’ve been away for quite a few days. He calls me daily to ask about when you can go home. From the looks of it, he’ll charge through the hospital doors to see you if you don’t go back to him right now,” Tiffany joked as she tugged Amelia’s arm playfully.

A giggle escaped Amelia’s lips. She, too, yearned to go home. She had pictured her son’s grown features countless times in her mind, but she was still eager to see how her imagination differed from the real thing.

“Getting discharged, Amelia?” James greeted Amelia with a warm smile as he entered the hospital. His white lab coat flapped behind him as he strode over.

Amelia returned his smile. “James, you were the one who approved of my discharge papers. Why are you asking the obvious?”

“To fit in with you Chanaeans,” he quipped.

Both women burst into laughter when they heard his witty remark.

With both hands in his pockets, James shrugged nonchalantly and commented, “Amelia, you’re a natural beauty, and your charm has elevated ever since you regained your eyesight. A hint of allure under your purity, and yet a tinge of innocence within that allure—a masterpiece! Surely a wonderful being like you has a sister?”

Amelia could not contain her mirth as laughter bubbled up inside her.

Tiffany gave him a side-eye. “James, are you laying it on thick in hopes that Amelia will introduce you to a beauty?”
