Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 258 Earlier Than Scheduled

After a while, Amelia slowly regained her eyesight. She carefully moved Oscar’s hand that was on her waist away carefully and got off the bed. Putting on a jacket, she walked out and headed for the deck for a breather. Staring at the vast ocean, she spread her arms wide and took in the fresh air.

When her emotions settled, she pulled out her phone to give Tiffany a call.

The call was soon connected, and Tiffany’s thick voice rasped out, “Hey, Babe.”

Amelia asked gingerly, “Tiff, are you still asleep?”

“I’m going to wake up soon,” came Tiffany’s lazy reply. That was what she said, but in reality, she sounded like she was exhausted and couldn’t wait to go to bed.

Furrowing her brows, Amelia answered, “If you’re sleepy, go back to sleep. I’ll call you later.”

“No need. I’m awake now. What is this about?”

“You’re no longer sleepy?” Amelia knew Tiffany’s work forced her to keep a nocturnal schedule. She’d often work all night long to meet deadlines and sleep in the day. Sometimes, she’d only get to sleep less than five hours a day. Tiffany was dedicated to her job, compared to other full-time authors. Besides being efficient, she rarely missed deadlines. Hence, many editors loved to work with her.

“I want to take action earlier than scheduled.” Amelia didn’t bother beating around the bush and revealed her thoughts.

After a long silence, Tiffany asked, “Babe, are you sure? If you take action, you won’t be able to get back together with Oscar. Tony will lose his father at a young age. Are you sure about this?”

Staring at the endless ocean, Amelia couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. She knew she was being selfish by claiming that it was for Oscar’s own good. In fact, she was afraid they’d end up being total strangers one day.

The truth was, she wasn’t bold enough to face Oscar with her disability. The more Oscar treated her well, the more unsettled she was. Her utmost fear was that one day Oscar would get bored with her and dump her. Thus, she refused to let herself drown in his warmth.

To put things plainly, her disability made her a coward. If she remained with Oscar, she’d slowly lose herself as fear overwhelmed her. The more capable Oscar was, the thicker her shell became. Like a wounded hedgehog, she was prickling both herself and Oscar.

“Tiff, the intervals when I lost my eyesight are getting longer. I think I’ll lose my eyesight completely in a few months. I want to complete the divorce procedures when I can still see,” Amelia explained while she held back her emotions. “You’ll help me right, Tiff?”

Tiffany sighed out loud. “I once said I’ll support you no matter what your decision is. I wish you’ll spend some time to calm down. It’s has been a long challenge for Oscar and you to keep your marriage afloat. Won’t you think about it? Even if you end up being blind, I don’t think Oscar will dump you.”

Amelia’s eyes reddened instantly. Huge waves crashed into the yacht, making it wobble dangerously.

“Tiff, I know. But I can’t help but despise myself. You have no idea how it feels to be blind. It’s easy to get dejected when one’s surrounded by the dark. I don’t want our love to wear out on this endless, dark path. I’d rather leave when the memories on each other are still pleasant than do it when things turn ugly. That way, he’d remember me at my prime. I sound really selfish, right?”

Amelia couldn’t stop herself from bursting into tears.

Tiffany panicked at once. “Babe, I’ll help you. Don’t cry. Since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll support you. Let’s not give up and wait until the hospital finds a suitable cornea donor. You’ll be fine,” she tried to comfort Amelia.

Alas, Amelia said nothing.
