Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 692 Return To Tayhaven

After dealing with the Winters family’s matters, Oscar asked, “Amelia, do you want to go home to have a look?” After all, that city was Amelia’s homeland.

Amelia scanned the familiar yet strange city. Right then, she had a sudden revelation.

“Can I go back?” Amelia asked in a daze. Ever since Spencer went back after his surgery, her parents never called her. Hence, she did not know if they wanted to meet her.

“That’s your home. Of course, you can go back. What is it? Has it been too long since you last came back, and now you’re feeling worried when you’re near home?” Oscar said affectionately, pinching her nose.

Amelia smiled faintly and said, “A little. It’s been so long since I last came back. So many things have changed and so many skyscrapers have been built. I’m afraid I can’t even recognize the way home.”

“Silly. How can you forget the way home if you really miss it?” Oscar pulled her into his embrace and said, “Let’s go back and have a look, okay? You don’t have to worry about it, no matter what the outcome is.”

Amelia pondered for some time before nodding in agreement. “Okay.”

With that, Amelia informed Tiffany about her decision to go home and have a look. Hearing that, Tiffany asked, “Do you need Derrick and me to go along with you guys?”

“It’s okay. You should spend more time with your parents. I can go with Oscar,” Amelia answered.

When Amelia made her way home based on her memory, she found out that the old and relatively low buildings had turned into towering apartment buildings. On top of that, there were several sedans parked in front of the entrance. A blank look flashed through her eyes, looking like a child who had lost her way home.

“What’s wrong?” Oscar asked gently, grabbing her hand.

“Oscar, looks like I’ve really lost my way home.” She had not been home for almost ten years, and her hometown had changed too much. I don’t even know which building my house is in. Maybe my house has been gone from this place long ago. Or maybe I shouldn’t have called this place my home since young. The Winters family never acknowledged me as their child. Benjamin paid them to take care of me. The Hutton family doesn’t acknowledge me, nor does the Winters family want me. I’m just a burden.

“Amelia?” Just as Amelia was having all kinds of negative thoughts, an elderly person’s voice rang out. She turned to look in the voice’s direction to find a grey-haired woman walking toward her, gazing at the former with cloudy eyes.

Amelia, too, looked at the elderly woman the same way, searching for a certain memory in her mind. Suddenly, she exclaimed, “Ms. Malone, it’s me, Amelia. Are you still living here?” When she was younger, Emery Malone gave her food and even sang her lullabies when Amelia had no one with her. In other words, Emery was an elder who actually showed Amelia care. Since Amelia had not returned for ten years, she thought Emery might have been gone. To Amelia’s surprise, Emery was still quite healthy.

Emery walked over and held Amelia’s hand, scanning the latter from head to toe before saying excitedly, “It’s really you, Amelia. You silly girl, how could you not return for ten years after going abroad for your studies? I thought you got into an accident. And your parents… They are unbelievable. How could they not call to check in on you? Whenever I ask them about you, they only say they don’t know anything. They are such heartless people. I can’t believe they don’t even care if you’re dead or alive out there.”

Amelia’s eyes reddened. Stumbling into someone familiar caused all the good and bad memories that were buried deep in her to flood into her mind again, replaying the memories as if there was a cinema in her mind.

“Ms. Malone, do my parents still live here?” Amelia asked, changing the subject.

“Oh, yes. The building was demolished a few years ago to build a new one. Initially, your parents wanted to move somewhere else after getting the compensation money. No one knows why, but they returned to this neighborhood and bought a house. Your parents, Spencer, and his wife live there now,” Emery explained.

“Could you bring me to the house?”

“Of course.”

Along the way, Amelia asked Emery about the latter’s life and what was her daughter working as.

Emery answered all of Amelia’s questions one by one.

Soon, they arrived in the neighborhood. Emery pointed at the building with the label “B” and said, “They live on the tenth floor. I’m sure you have their phone number, right? Just give them a call. No matter how unhappy life was when you were younger, you’re all grown up now. Your parents are also slowly getting older. All the grudges will slowly disappear as time passes by. Come back to visit them with your husband whenever you have the time. Your parents are old now. I’m afraid they don’t have much time left.”

Amelia felt a slight ache in her heart, and she smiled forcefully. “I understand, Ms. Malone.”

Emery told her a few more things before leaving.

Amelia then lifted her head to gaze at the towering building, standing still there for quite some time. It was impossible to figure out what was on her mind.

“Amelia, what’s wrong?” Oscar asked.

She returned to her senses and shook her head gently. “I was just thinking if my parents used the money I gave them to purchase a house in such a place.”

“So what if they used it? So what if they didn’t? Amelia, what’s the point of being persistent in such things? If you want to see them, then let’s go up. After all, my wife isn’t that indecisive,” Oscar said with a smile, caressing the back of her neck.

Perhaps having Oscar by her side made her heart calm down miraculously.
