Too Much To Bear My Love

Too Much to Bear, My Love Chapter 191

Riley kept her head down, so Amelia smiled and told Gary, “Gary, don’t blame Riley. She isn’t at fault.”

Gary gave Riley an encouraging pat. “Riley, Amelia doesn’t blame you. Won’t you say something?”

Riley raised her head to stare at Gary for a while before she rose to her feet. Bowing politely, she said, “Ms. Winters, thank you.”

Amelia was amused by her action.

She gazed at Oscar helplessly, and the latter immediately understood what she wanted. “Riley, right? There’s no need to bow to us. Since Amelia said so, it means that she really doesn’t blame you. All you’re doing is making us feel awkward.”

Stunned, Riley turned to Gary, who waved his hand and said, “Alright. That’s it, then. Riley, no more next time.”

Riley mumbled in acknowledgment. She was clearly feeling upset.

Amelia flashed a smile. “Gary, stop reprimanding her. She did a good job. I was careless this time. No one knew a car would run the red light. Even if Riley was by my side, I wouldn’t allow her to jump in front of me to save me.”

Riley shot a surprised look at Amelia.

Their security firm had a condition in the contract that stipulated the bodyguards had to resort to all means to protect their client’s safety. As it was pretty expensive to hire a bodyguard from the security firm, the client could pretty much call the shots. As long as the client suffered losses when the contract was valid, they had to compensate five times the initial fee. The client could also sue them in court. If that were to happen, the security firm’s reputation would be affected.

Thus, every time they accepted a job, they would have to put their guard up and treat the client with utmost respect no matter how difficult the client was.

“Ms. Winters, thank you for forgiving me. This is my fault, so I shall compensate you accordingly,” Riley responded sincerely.

Bemused, Amelia told her, “No need for that, Riley.” That money meant nothing to her. Besides, she didn’t like how it made them seem so distant.

She looked at Gary. “Gary, tell Riley to stop acting this way. It isn’t easy for a young lady to survive in society. So don’t be too harsh on her. You’re making it seem like I’m bullying her.”

Gary grinned. “She has been feeling guilty over your accident. You should accept her apology. Otherwise, she’ll feel bad.”

Amelia was left with no choice but to accept Riley’s apology.

After the fuss, Gary realized Amelia was looking pale and weary.

His heart clenched instinctively. “Amelia, are you tired?”

Amelia shook her head. “I’ve just regained consciousness. So I feel sleepy instead. Perhaps I’m still weak.”
