Chapter 387 Sweet Words
Amelia was still worried about Oscar’s injuries even after they had returned to the apartment. “Oscar, is your arm really fine? Please let me know if it hurts,” she said worriedly while grabbing onto his arm.
Oscar held her hand and said with a soft chuckle, “I’m fine. You know, it’d probably heal faster if you’d give it a kiss.”
Amelia froze for a brief moment before giving Oscar a light smack on the wounded arm, causing him to yelp in pain.
His reaction was so funny that Amelia found herself bursting into laughter. She realized Oscar had indeed changed a lot over the past two years.
With her blind eyes wide open, Amelia gave him a hug and leaned against his chest as she said, “Oscar, I’m really glad that you only injured your arm in this car accident. I would never be able to forgive myself if something terrible happened to you.”
“You silly girl! I haven’t loved you enough, so I wouldn’t possibly let anything happen to me. I’m planning to grow old with you, so I’m going to make sure I stay in good shape all the time. I want to still be able to carry you when we’re both old and wrinkly,” Oscar replied while gently running his hand through her hair.
“All right, get off me now. You need to go take a shower!” Amelia said with a smile.
Oscar nibbled on her ear and whispered mischievously, “Will you be joining me?”
Amelia felt her cheeks burning up and instinctively took a few steps back. “Hurry up and go take a shower! I can’t see anything, so I’d just make things difficult for you,” she exclaimed coquettishly.
Oscar narrowed his eyes as he said, “All right. You can just sit here while you wait for me, then.”
Amelia did as told and began thinking about a lot of things while Oscar was in the shower.
Man, I feel really bad for Kurt. I know he has feelings for me, and yet I can’t stop myself from being all lovey-dovey with Oscar. Looks like Kurt’s deep love for me is destined to remain unrequited for the rest of his life…
Amelia wrapped her hands around her head that was in a mess at the moment. On one hand, she was terrified by the fact that she had nearly lost Oscar. On the other, she faced immense pressure from Kurt’s one-sided love and affection. As her scale had always tipped in Oscar’s favor, she could only apologize to Kurt as she was unable to reciprocate his love.
Oscar saw the stressed look on her face when he came out of the shower.
“What’s the matter, Honey? What’s on your mind?” he asked gently while wiping his hair dry.
Amelia jumped in shock as she was spacing out so much that she didn’t notice him coming out. “Oh, Oscar! You’re done showering already? That was fast!”
Oscar tossed his towel aside, pulled her into his arms, and whispered into her ear, “Come on, tell me. What were you thinking about?”
Amelia nuzzled against his chest and sighed as she said, “This day just feels like a dream. I didn’t expect you to come looking for me at all. I’ve been through an emotional roller coaster today. It feels great to have you by my side, but I feel bad for a certain someone.”
The look in Oscar’s eyes dimmed upon hearing that, but he decided to play dumb and acted like he didn’t know what she was talking about.
“And who would that be?”
“It’s Kurt. Please don’t blame him, Oscar. I begged him to leave with me and Tiff because we couldn’t look after Tony with just the two of us. Since Tony likes Kurt, I figured it would be best to have him come with us. It’s all my fault, so you can blame it all on me.” Amelia looked up at Oscar even if she couldn’t see anything. She had insisted on leaving out of fear of her impending blindness. Any other woman would probably have freaked out as well if a doctor told them they would lose their eyesight soon.
The mere thought of having to live the rest of her life in total darkness filled her with so much despair that she even contemplated suicide at one point. Had it not been for Tiffany’s support and Tony requiring her care, Amelia probably would’ve taken her own life right from the start.
Oscar’s hand that was caressing her hair paused as the look on his face turned gloomy. “Are you that afraid of me punishing him?” he asked in a hoarse voice.
“Life would’ve been really rough for Tiff and I if it weren’t for him, so will you please forgive him?” Amelia said awkwardly.
Oscar stared deeply at her with mixed feelings in his heart. “Are you feeling guilty because of him, Honey?” he asked.
Amelia lowered her gaze as she replied, “You know he has feelings for me, right? I can’t reciprocate those feelings of his, so I want to make it up to him some other way. Do you know what I mean?”
Oscar’s gloomy expression brightened up instantly.
“Okay, sure. I promise not to punish him, but he will not be going to Anglandur with us tomorrow.”
Amelia gave it some thought and nodded in response.
Oscar then leaned in to give her a kiss, but Amelia stopped him by pushing against his chest.
“What’s the matter?” he asked in confusion.
“Your arm is injured. The doctor said you have to refrain from any vigorous exercise until it heals up, remember?” Amelia replied shyly.
It had been a long time since she and Oscar had sex, so she was both a little scared and excited about it. Her heart raced as memories of their passionate session of love-making in the past flooded her brain.
Seeing the shy blush on her face instantly removed whatever negative emotions Oscar had in him.
He wrapped an arm around her and whispered affectionately, “You’re so cute, Honey. I love it when you look like this! It’s no wonder they say a brief separation beats a remarriage. You see, we didn’t become distant at all even after being separated for two years. If anything, I find myself loving you more and more now!”
Amelia smacked him on the chest as she exclaimed with a chuckle, “You’re such a sweet talker!”
“Do you not like it?”
“Just go to sleep!” Amelia said while pulling the blanket over herself.
Oscar broke into a huge grin as he lay down beside her and hugged her tightly. “I’m so happy to have you in my life, Honey!”
Amelia’s lips curled into a smile upon hearing that.
“All right, let’s get some sleep. We’ll head over to Anglandur tomorrow and get your eyes treated. I’m sure our lives are only going to get better once you regain your eyesight!” Oscar said and began visualizing their happy life together.
Amelia nodded and drifted off to sleep shortly after.
Oscar felt as if his heart was whole again when he saw Amelia sleeping soundly beside him. Back then, he had to rely heavily on sleeping pills to fall asleep. However, he was able to sleep just fine that night with her in his arms.
