Love You Enough to Leave You

Tiffany caught up with them and started punching Oscar’s arms. “Oscar, let go of her. Amelia is pregnant with your child. If you hurt the baby, I’ll fight you to death.” Her words reminded him to relax his grip. As Amelia calmed down, she said indifferently, “Mr. Clinton, can you let me go? Unlike Ms. Yard, I’m not comfortable in showing affection in public. “It was a misunderstanding, I’ll explain everything when we get home,” Oscar claimed. A strong sense of disappointment surged within her. It wouldn’t have hurt so much if Oscar had admitted honestly.

Who knows… even Oscar who’s always been upright and disdain to lie would show his disgraceful side. She pushed him away. “I shall not disturb you since you still need to keep Ms. Yard company.” Cassie wrapped her arms around him and chimed in feebly, “Oz, my wound hurts a little. Can you carry me, please?” Oscar shot her a complicated look while Amelia lifted her chin and jeered at him, “Your little lover is waiting for you, Mr. Clinton. Carry her up so that nothing happens to her. Or else, you’re going to put the blame on me again.” Amelia caught the smug on Cassie’s face, which went unnoticed by Oscar.

In a flash, Cassie pretended to be innocent in front of him. “Let’s go, Oz. Ms. Winters has got no time for you because she needs to stay with Mr. Scott. Right, Ms. Winters?” Amelia just looked at Cassie before she turned to Carter and said, “Let’s go, Carter.” Then, they took the other elevator. Oscar wanted to stop them, but was hauled back firmly by Cassie. She whined, “Oz, did you regret it?” He lowered his eyes and looked at her. His gaze was clouded with mixed emotions. Finally, he channeled all his thoughts into a deep sigh and then responded patiently, “Don’t overthink things. Let me take you upstairs.” “Don’t leave me, Oz.

We’ve lost our child and all that I have now is you. If you abandon me, I doubt I could survive on my own…” Squeezing her hands into his, Cassie buried her head in his embrace as they entered the elevator. Oscar’s gaze became extremely conflicted upon hearing this. “There… there… I’m here, ain’t I? You’re the only daughter of the Yard family who is highly qualified and has a great career envied by many. Without me, you’ll still be able to unleash your talents. It’s just a miscarriage which led you into a mild depression. When your health improves, we can have our own baby again.” Cassie replied in a weak voice, “Oz, you gave me a scare. The way you looked at Amelia, it was as if you’ve fallen in love with her.

you’re well, everything else will fall into place.” Cassie smirked as her mood liven up. “Oz, make sure you tell me everything. I can learn to live harmoniously with Ms. Winters for your sake.” Oscar merely hugged her out of the elevator and accompanied her back to her ward. Upon seeing them, the anxious Elizabeth said, “Cassie, where did you go? You’ve just undergone surgery. The doctor has advised against any major movements. Why don’t you heed the advice? You always make me

being stubborn, but how could you be as ignorant as her?” He looked sullen. Cassie quickly justified, “Mom, it’s me who brought him out. You can scold me, but not Oz.” Elizabeth felt defeated. People say that a married daughter will always take her husband’s side. Mine is outrightly protecting her man even before marrying him. Will my presence still matter once she does that? Taking in a

out for a while. Be good.” “Stop acting like this, Cassie! Oscar has something to attend to. I just want to have a chat with you.” Elizabeth tried to hold back her anger. After pondering for a while, Cassie agreed, “Oz, don’t go too far.” He nodded once more. As soon as he left the ward, the pitiful look on Cassie’s face disappeared. “Mom, why did you speak so poorly to Oz? What am I going to do if you scare him off?” Cassie complained. Elizabeth was so fed up

carefully. “Mom, Oz and I have lost nearly five years of precious time. I have to do something before my man is snatched away by that woman.” “As much as you want to keep your man, you shouldn’t be so clingy. Do you know what you look like right now? A nymphomaniac!” rebuked Elizabeth. “I’m madly in love with him. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have thought about using my pregnancy loss to trick him to stay. As a

You only returned after five long years, do you really think that a man would wait so long in the name of love?” Cassie looked at her mother helplessly. “Mom, what should I do? I don’t want to ruin my life for Oscar. I want to treat him sincerely, but I’ve made so many unforgivable mistakes in my younger days. I’m afraid that he’ll hate me and leave me if he sees my true colors.” Elizabeth covered her with a blanket.

“How do you want me to help you?” “I don’t want Amelia to keep the baby.” “No!” Elizabeth vetoed it. “The doctor has mentioned that it’ll be a challenge for you to bear a child again. Thus, you must keep Amelia’s baby. Once the child is born, you can request for Oscar to divorce her and raise the child like your own. If her baby is gone and you can’t get pregnant again, the Clintons will seek for a surrogate mother to produce an heir.” A ruthless look flashed across Cassie’s eyes while she dug her fingers into
