Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 250 Fractured Arm

Stephanie was discharged after just two days in the hospital. Other than looking a little worn-out, she was making good progress in her recovery.

Since her return from the hospital, her attitude toward Amelia saw a complete change. She was polite and respectful, and she even took pains to show deference to her sister-in-law in all their interactions. The change was embraced by some people around them just as much as it was detested by others.

Olivia believed that her daughter had truly repented, and she was happy to see Stephanie and Amelia get along. On the other hand, Amelia was annoyed about the false front Stephanie was putting on. However, she kept her true feelings to herself and was always civil to Stephanie in front of Oscar’s parents.

The family enjoyed relative peace for the next three days in this state of artificial harmony.

The next morning, Amelia asked for a chair to be moved to the side of the lake. She wanted to kick back and enjoy a leisurely morning with some tea and snacks.

Ever since she found out that she might lose her sight, she had learned to appreciate the things around her more. Every flower, every tree, and every blade of grass was more exquisite than ever. Things she used to take for granted now seemed to hold special meaning by their very existence. Even the ability to enjoy basking in the sun was a luxury.

However, Amelia’s moment of tranquility was broken by the sound of her phone ringing. It was a call from Tiffany.

“Hey, Tiff,” Amelia said upon picking up her phone.

“Are you up?”

“I’ve been up since seven,” Amelia answered chirpily. “Have you finished your manuscript? You’ve gotten up quite early today.”

“Just finished it yesterday. Finally managed to catch some sleep last night.” Tiffany felt better after discerning no unhappiness in Amelia’s voice. “Dr. Leonard wants us to go in for a review today. You should go and get ready.”

Amelia was not keen on the idea at all. “Tiff, let’s postpone it. The fate of my eyes has already been sealed. Going for reviews is not going to change anything.”

“No can do! We can’t take things too lightly. Let’s go for the review and ask when you can undergo the surgery for the blood clot in your brain. We should not delay it any longer,” Tiffany stated firmly.

After thinking for a moment, Amelia relented, saying with a sigh, “All right.”

“Good, I’ll pick you up in a while.”

“No need. I’ll ask John to give me a ride to town. I’ll meet you there.”

“Okay, see you in a while then.”

After ending the call, Amelia shifted her gaze back to the tranquil lake in front of her. Unbeknownst to her, Stephanie was standing behind her, absorbed in her thoughts about what she had just overheard.

Amelia tarried for a few minutes before she went back inside the house. After getting dressed and saying a quick goodbye to Olivia, she got in the car and went to town with John.

Stephanie followed behind in her car, keeping a safe distance from the car John was driving.

“John, thanks for the ride. Please drive carefully on your way back,” Amelia said when they reached town.
