Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 248 His Godfather

Amelia let herself sink into the passenger seat. Perhaps she had prepared herself mentally for what was to come, and thus, her placidness.

“Tiff, I’m fine. I won’t do anything stupid since I’m looking forward to seeing Tony growing up, you know, seeing him having a girlfriend, building a family, and so on. Despite how people think my life is worth nothing, I’m not gonna give up my life so easily.”

Tiffany’s heart wrung with every word Amelia uttered. The former wasn’t sure whether the latter had come to terms with this wretched fate.

Seeing the knitted brows on her face, Amelia tried to cheer her up. “Hey, relax those tight brows of yours. Whatever is mine is mine, and whatever’s not will never be. If losing my eyesight was God’s will, I could only say God was so jealous of what I’m blessed with that It is trying to humble me by reserving some of his grace, but it’s okay. At least I still have Tony and you.”

She didn’t want to mention Oscar as she felt that the bond between them was as fragile as a house of cards. It couldn’t withstand even the slightest puff of wind.

Or maybe her love for him was so deep that she kept clinging to the fear of losing this beautiful relationship.

Due to that persistent uncertainty, the moment it dawned upon her that she’d be met with blindness, her self-esteem shrunk, foreboding that she’d lose her worth when she was no more perfect.

Although she was holding back from depicting Oscar in a bad light, she couldn’t help it. She used to be a scintillating beauty, and the fact that she was about to plunge into eternal darkness was definitely a blow to her confidence. It wasn’t a reality anyone would readily take on.

It was a contrasting lifestyle that might take a lifetime to get used to.

Tiffany held Amelia’s hands in hers. “Amelia, I think it’d be better if you told Oscar. You ought to let him know how you feel. I know that I’m always mocking him, but I’m sure that he’s not that shallow, and he’ll understand.”

The other woman slumped into the seat, looking as woeful as ever, and shook her head. “Let me think about it, Tiff.”

Tiffany wasn’t trying to get her friend to do anything. She was just slightly taken aback by the latter’s disheartened attitude. Among all the people Amelia knew, Tiffany would always be the one who truly wished for her happiness.

“Babe, listen to me. At the end of the day, you and Oscar are still husband and wife. You should tell him what’s happening and how you’re feeling. Keeping it away from him will only ruin your relationship further. What I’m trying to say is, tell him.” Tiffany gave her friend her two cents.
