Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 748 Attending The Funeral

Just a month after she slipped into a coma, Eleanor flatlined in the dead of night. Her passing caught everyone off guard. That night, the equipment’s shrill beeping shattered the silence in the hospital.

Benjamin stared at the person lying motionless in bed. His fists were tightly clenched while the muscles on his face trembled uncontrollably.

Amelia, too, was in a daze. She had never expected Eleanor to leave this world so abruptly, without giving them a chance to say goodbye.

James examined Eleanor for a while, confirming that she was already gone before approaching the others. “I’m so sorry for not being able to save Mrs. Hutton.”

Amelia stared at James blankly and said, “James, didn’t you say she still had three months left to live? It’s been only a month. You even told me that she had at least half a year to live. How can she be gone now?”

A hint of remorse flashed across James’ eyes. This was the biggest mistake he had done since he started practicing medicine.

“I also never expected Mrs. Hutton to pass away so quickly. Professor Schweitzberg and I have been discussing day and night how to operate on her. I didn’t expect this to happen before we came up with a solution… I’m truly sorry. My condolences to you,” James said as he lowered his head guiltily. He felt he was not worthy of the doctor’s coat he was wearing.

Amelia pursed her lips and shook her head.

Just when everyone was still processing the sudden grief, Amelia Hutton walked up to Amelia Winters and raised her hand to strike at the latter’s face.

The next moment, Amelia Hutton’s hand was seized by someone. Oscar growled, “What are you doing?”

Amelia Hutton glared at Amelia Winters. Gritting her teeth, she said, “If it weren’t because she was adamant about bringing my mother here to Tayhaven, my mother wouldn’t have passed away so soon. It’s all this jinx’s fault! How I wish I could rip off that mouth of yours!”

Oscar flung her hand away and said, “For the sake of Mom, I won’t do anything to you. However, I request that you be more respectful to my wife.”

Amelia Hutton bit her lip tightly, feeling the resentment brewing deep within her.

“Stop this nonsense, Amelia. Can you bear to see your mother leave without getting any peace?” Benjamin said.

“Dad…”

“Shut your mouth.” Benjamin turned around to scold her. The next moment, he walked toward Eleanor’s bed and spoke in a low voice as if he was afraid of startling her. “Don’t be scared, Eleanor. I’ll take you home in a while. I won’t let you stay in the hospital. I would have brought you home if I had known you would be gone so soon. That way, you wouldn’t have been alone when you passed on.”

Everyone looked at the man, who had been tough and unyielding for most of his life, kneeling beside the bed and weeping. The sight of the grown man crying his heart out caused the others to well up with tears as well.

Everyone was caught off guard by Eleanor’s passing. After a moment of bewilderment, grief came crashing down on them. The ward was shrouded in indescribable and intense sadness.

Eleanor was eventually brought back to Saspiuburg. Amelia, Oscar, Tiffany, Derrick, Noah, and the older Clintons all attended the funeral. Meanwhile, Stephanie was absent due to her pregnancy. However, she had never thought of attending the funeral anyway.

Both Amelia and Oscar attended the funeral as family members. There were many people in the large mansion. Businessmen from various places and other family members knew that Eleanor was gravely ill. They had even visited her in the past. However, they did not think she would pass away so soon. It was something out of the blue for them.
