Too Much to Bear, My Love

“Oscar.” They heard a man’s voice and both looked in that direction. Their gaze landed on a very tall man, and Amelia could recognize him as one of the specialists from Anglandur.

Tall and handsome, he looked very attractive in his doctor’s coat. One could easily believe that he was a professional model when he removed his doctor’s attire.

“James!” Oscar walked up to him and greeted him heartily.

“I haven’t seen you for a few years, Oscar. You’re looking better than ever. However, you’re not a very good friend, are you? If not for your wife’s accident, you might not have remembered me, your old friend,” said James.

Oscar smiled and introduced Amelia to him, “This is my wife, Amelia. The one you saved was her friend.” He then introduced James to Amelia, “Amelia, this is James, my schoolmate back in Anglandur.”

Amelia reached out her hand and smiled. “Nice to meet you, James.”

James gave her a warm hug and kissed her cheeks. “Wow, you’re really Oscar’s wife? What a pity, I was about to ask you out on a date. I didn’t expect you to be unavailable. Looks like it’s not my lucky day!”

Amelia smiled graciously and said, “There are plenty of pretty women here. With your qualifications, you could get any woman you want.”

James chuckled. “I hardly ever come to Chanaea, but you’re making me very excited, Amelia. Come on Oscar, let’s hit the bar!”

Oscar looked at Amelia, who smiled and uttered, “Go ahead, guys. I’ll stay here to watch over Tiffany.”

Oscar nodded. “All right. I’ll get Jimmy to come and keep you company.”

“There’s no need, I’ll be fine on my own. Go ahead with James. When Tiff recovers, I’ll cook up a storm to thank James properly.”

“Come with us, Amelia. I’ll get two nurses to take care of things here. Don’t worry, I brought them here with me, so they’ll definitely care for your friend well.”

Amelia shook her head and smiled. “Please go ahead. When Tiff recovers, I’ll personally cook up a feast for you to repay your good deed.”

“I eagerly await that then.”

After James and Oscar left, Amelia continued standing at the glass window to watch Tiffany. It was another hour before she left to return to her room.

The next morning, the nurse told her that Tiffany was awake and had been transferred to a regular ward.

Amelia was so excited she immediately sped out of her room to Tiffany’s.
