Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 706 Enough Torment

It had only been less than five days since Amelia Winters stayed in Saspiuburg, and she had already witnessed Eleanor experiencing symptoms such as headaches, hair loss, and diarrhea. The fact that Eleanor was losing the thick locks of hair she had taken great care of was horrifying for Amelia. The latter could not even bring herself to look at Eleanor’s head.

Amelia knew hair loss was a common symptom for leukemia patients. No matter how thick a patient’s hair was, it would still gradually fall off, and they would end up bald. Even so, she never thought Eleanor would become like that, too.

Amelia was utterly heartbroken when she saw Eleanor suffering so much from the headache.

Eleanor’s head hurt badly, and much of her hair had fallen. Though she was lying weakly on the bed, she still comforted Amelia, “Lia, I’m fine. I’m only having a headache from eating too much yesterday. You and Oscar are flying back today, right? You should get going then. Don’t delay your work because of me. Remember to pay me a visit whenever you’re free. I’ll go through the treatment for you. Don’t worry. I won’t die so soon. I want to help you take care of your children, after all.”

Amelia’s eyes reddened.

She choked, “I told Oscar to cancel the tickets already. I also told him to get his friend, who’s an expert in neurosurgery, to come over and be your attending doctor. You’ll be fine.”

A smile appeared on Eleanor’s pale face.

She caressed Amelia’s face and said lovingly, “Okay. I’ll do everything you say. I’m sure I’ll recover one day. I’ll never let anything happen to me so easily when I still want to carry my grandchildren.”

Amelia nodded.

“Won’t your work be affected if you and Oscar stay in Saspiuburg?” Eleanor asked concernedly.

“It’s still fine for Oscar. He listens to his subordinates reporting remotely every day upon returning to the hotel. Besides, he has many capable people working for him. The company’s operations will be fine with him gone for a while. As for me, I’m thinking of quitting. I’ll consider working again once you’re better.” Amelia could not help but feel she was “connected” to the hospital. Things were happening to the people around her one by one, and she had to visit the hospital every now and then. On top of that, she often applied for leaves, which was unfair to Shane. Hence, she would rather give up her position and give it to someone capable.

“Is it because of me?”

“It’s nothing like that. The Clintons are not in need of my salary. Besides, I haven’t worked for five years since I married Oscar. I returned to the workforce because I was too bored. And now, I have a perfect excuse to quit my job and take care of you,” Amelia said with a smile.

Eleanor said nothing in response.

After coaxing Eleanor to sleep, Amelia stepped outside to call Shane about her resignation.

However, Shane rejected her request immediately, “Amelia, I don’t approve of your resignation. Since Mrs. Hutton is sick, I’ll give you a six-month leave. You can resume your work once you’re back. I’ll keep your position as the director of the design department for you. You’re a talented person. I don’t want you to give up on a job you like so easily. You’re really talented in designing, you know?”
