Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 714 A Fair Shot

After finding out that Amelia Hutton had dared to seduce Oscar at the hospital, Amelia Winters had subsequently kept her distance from the former. She only nodded at Amelia Hutton when they crossed paths.

Eleanor had noticed this change in demeanor. She could not help her curiosity and asked, “Lia, has Amelia done something to make you angry?”

Amelia Winters merely looked at her with a puzzled grin and said, “What makes you think that, Mom?”

“Well, you hardly seem to be talking anymore. And you both look like something is keeping you on edge. I may be sick, but I’m not blind. In fact, my eyes are as sharp as ever. So tell me, did Amelia do something to you and behaved insensibly?” Eleanor finished with a flourish, insistent on getting to the bottom of things.

Amelia Winters tutted and smiled at Eleanor. “Why do you think so? We’re all right. There’s no need to worry.” “Really?”

“Really,” replied Amelia Winters, her tone firm. “Besides, I don’t have a reason to lie to you, do I?”

Eleanor could only believe her words for now. “I think you should get some rest first, Mom. I’ll be here with you.”

Eleanor nodded and closed her eyes. However, it was not a fitful sleep, likely caused by the problems from the last few days looming over her. She was not tired, and all she could do was nap.

After waiting for nearly ten minutes, Amelia Winters thought that Eleanor had already fallen asleep. As such, she seemed to have mellowed down a little herself.

Just then, Amelia Hutton walked in. With a cursory glance, she noticed that her mother had fallen asleep. She then made her way toward Amelia Winters and asked her imperiously, “Amy, may we speak?”

Amelia Winters looked at the sleeping Eleanor. Thinking the latter was sound asleep, she replied, “Sure. Let’s talk outside.”

“No, I’ll say it right here.” Very boldly, Amelia Hutton stood with her arms akimbo and declared, “I’m in love with Oscar and don’t wish to lose out on such a good man. I’d like to have a shot at pursuing him.”

Amelia Winters was absolutely dumbfounded when she heard this.

The audacity she has to be able to say this so confidently! That aside, we’re related by blood! What makes her think that trying to steal someone’s husband is dignified enough to warrant that tone of voice? I really don’t know

in Beshya, even without her sight, Amelia Winters thought that Amelia Hutton behaved like a lady of the genteel class—well-mannered and articulate. As such, Amelia Winters assumed the latter was a person of a good upbringing. However, after regaining her sight, Amelia Winters soon realized that the woman sharing her namesake was nothing like what she portrayed. Amelia Winters could not believe that she turned out to
