Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 447 Cling On To You

Carter was waiting outside the operating room. The lights went off after a mere one hour. The surgeon came out and told him that Jennifer was fine and that she was lucky to have only fractured her thigh bone and got herself a few scrapes here and there.

Everyone present let out a sigh of relief.

Laura followed as Jennifer was pushed into a general ward. Carter wanted to follow too, but Vincent stopped him.

Bone-wearied, Vincent spoke. “Carter, go home with your mother. Laura is still hot under the collar, and she won’t be nice to you. Don’t worry. Jennifer’s fine now.”

Carter pressed his lips and hummed for a bit. He eventually nodded his head.

On their way home, Faye angrily probed, “Carter, what on earth is going on between you Jennifer? Weren’t you just going for a meal?”

Carter bit his lips and kept his eyes on the road.

His silence made Faye more cross.

“Have you turned mute? Say something!”

 

“Mom, can you be quiet? You’re giving me a headache.”

“Hahaha!” Faye let out a mocking laugh.

“Carter, aren’t you a grown man now? You’d gotten Jennifer into an accident, and now you’re saying that I’m annoying. I was just thinking, so many accidents had happened within the past few years. Oscar got into an accident, Tiffany got into an accident, and now Jennifer. Anyone who’s in any way related to Amelia somehow got into an accident. Is she a jinx?” Faye didn’t hold back.

Carter frowned at his mother’s words. “Mom, it was an accident. Why is Amelia in the picture? This has nothing to do with her, okay? Stop accusing her.”

That was the last straw. Fire of rage could be seen gleaming through Faye’s eyes, and all she wanted at that moment was to vent her fury.

“You’re so quick in defending her! I’m pretty sure she had something to do with the accident. You and Jennifer always quarrel because of this woman!” Faye lost her graceful composure. “It amazes me. What’s so good about her that makes you go out of your way? Do you think you’re in some sort of romance drama?”

Carter’s silence persisted, and it totally drove Faye up the wall. He didn’t want to sing to her tune and kept quiet, dissolving her sharp lambastings just like that.

When they got back to their residence, he emotionally distanced himself. “Mom, we’re here.”

Instead of getting off the car, Faye stayed put.

Seeing Faye glued to the passenger seat, Carter looked at her coldly and said, “Mom, if you like this car that much, you can sit in it as long as you like. I’m getting off.” He opened the door and stepped out.
