Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 179

Chapter 179 In Low Spirits

Olivia took a deep, long breath.

The only thing they could do now was to hope and pray for Amelia’s recovery. Olivia had always cared for Amelia like her own, so she naturally wanted both Amelia and Oscar to pull through this dark period.

Owen patted her awkwardly. “All right. I’m still certain of what I said earlier. The children can take care of themselves. Everything will work out.”

Olivia nodded, desperately trying to believe him.

At that moment, Oscar had run into Elizabeth shortly after he’d departed from his own hospital room. Elizabeth’s face turned several shades darker when she caught sight of him.

Irate, the woman stormed towards the man, fuming, “Oscar, have you finally found it within you to care for Cassie?”

Oscar glanced at her icily. His tone was even as he replied, “Mrs. Yard, I have my own things to deal with. I’ll leave Cassie to you.”

He made as if to continue, but Elizabeth adamantly stood before him, barricading his way forward.

Infuriated, she pressed, “Oscar, what do you mean by this? Cassie attempted suicide because of you! She’s still lying there in the hospital. She’s awake now, but you haven’t even come over to visit. The doctor said she might have a tendency towards depression. Is this how you show your love to her?”

Oscar glowered at Elizabeth. He drew himself up to his fullest height and towered over her, looking incredibly intimidating.

Elizabeth suddenly felt a wave of trepidation wash over her.

The fear, however, quickly gave way to indignation at having been thus embarrassed.

“Oscar, what’s going on? Cassie suffered so much because of you. Are you really going to abandon her just like that?” Elizabeth demanded.

Oscar felt his head throb.

“Enough, Mrs. Yard. I really do have something to deal with. I’ll come over to visit Cassie when I’m done and apologize to her,” he replied, feeling his patience grow thin.

Elizabeth, however, grew even more aggrieved at his answer.

“What do you mean by that, Oscar? Do you think Cassie’s a beggar? If you don’t visit her today, I’ll never forgive you! She’s all I have. If anything happens to her, I’ll see to it that you suffer the same fate!” she declared.

Oscar slowly clenched his fists. He felt the rage within him threatening to boil over.
