Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 318 Being Harsh

Amelia stood outside until Tiffany woke up and rushed out to find her. As her face was pale, Tiffany asked hastily, “Babe, do you feel unwell? Or do your eyes hurt?”

Flashing a nonchalant smile, Amelia assured her, “I’m fine. It’s just that I haven’t enjoyed the breeze in a while and ended up standing here longer than expected. After losing my eyesight, my hearing, touch, and tastebuds had grown sharper. Back then, I didn’t think this was possible, but now that I’m blind, I finally realized what it is like. It was fun to feel and hear the breeze whispering in my ear.”

Tiffany scrutinized her carefully.

“Babe, you’re unhappy,” she stated.

Amelia’s smile faltered.

Taking her hand, Tiffany asked, “Did someone bully you? Tell me about it.”

After regaining her composure, Amelia burst into giggles. “Everyone is kind here. No one would bully a blind person like me.”

Tiffany felt bad to hear that.

“Amelia, don’t say that! You only lost your eyesight temporarily. You’ll recover after receiving treatment. You’re gorgeous, smart, kind, and compassionate. Don’t belittle yourself!” she frowned and chided.

Amelia chuckled gaily.

“Let’s head in. After being roasted under the sun for a few hours, I feel my mind going blank. I’ve lost my eyesight. If something goes wrong with my brain, I’d be a useless person for sure,” she joked.

Tiffany led her in after making sure she was all right.

After lunch, Tiffany was still hanging around when Jeremy said, “Amelia, I’ve hired a caregiver for you. She’s twenty-five and grew up in the countryside. As she’s honest and responsible, she’ll be a great caregiver for you. The chauffeur just brought her here. Do you want to see her now?”

Amelia turned in the direction she assumed Jeremy was standing and nodded.

“Thank you, Jeremy.”

Tiffany placed her fork down and frowned. “Jeremy, why did you hire a caregiver for Amelia to take care of her around the clock? I can take care of her myself. Amelia doesn’t feel comfortable around strangers and can’t get used to a stranger taking care of her. Her eyesight loss is temporary, and she isn’t a cripple. There’s no need to arrange for someone else as the person will be in her way.”

Amelia chuckled. “Tiff, Jeremy is being thoughtful. Let’s not waste his efforts. If there’s someone to take care of me, you can focus on your writing, and Kurt won’t have to worry about me at work. It’s a win-win situation. Cheer up!”

Tiffany glanced at her and asked, “Really? Do you mean that?”

She knew how prideful Amelia was, for they had been best of friends for years. Though Amelia could no longer see, she wouldn’t allow a stranger to take care of her daily life. Instead, she’d do her best to do everything herself so she wouldn’t trouble the people around her.

Lowering her gaze, Amelia said gently, “I think it’s all right to hire a caregiver who’ll take care of me around the clock. After all, I can’t see and can’t get around easily. If someone’s here to take care of me, you won’t have to worry so much about me. Am I right?”
