Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 190 A Large Gap In Comparison

As Oscar came out from Cassie’s ward, he walked to the staircase and took out a pack of cigarettes. He then lit one up and took a puff before gracefully exhaling the smoke. His gaze turned profound as he fell deep into thought.

While he continued to take puffs, the smoke rose and gathered around him.

Disregarding the dirt on the ground, he sat at the top of the stairs. He continued to smoke while his thoughts remained messy and complicated.

No matter how cruel he was to Cassie moments ago, he was still reluctant to let her go completely.

If he had no hesitance at all, then he would really be a scumbag. After all, she was someone he had obsessed over for so long. He could not simply push her away after finally having her for himself. If he were indeed such a person, those two women would not be so utterly intoxicated and in love with him.

Perhaps he was an irresponsible scumbag in name, for he had gotten involved in two women’s love for him. Resultantly, no matter what choice he made, the other woman would be left upset and in sadness.

If it were several months ago, he would decisively let Amelia go. Even if he saw the loneliness in her eyes, he would pretend to ignore it or watch her cry indifferently as he let his friend insult him for being a heartless man. Even then, he would not have had any reaction at all.

However, in only a few months, he had completely changed his thoughts. Perhaps without the accident acting as a catalyst, he would not have understood his feelings so quickly and finally made his choice.

As he pondered, he took in a deep breath of smoke. When he exhaled it again, his expression had already returned to its calm state.

He patted his clothes and waited for the cigarette smell in his mouth to fade. After leaving the staircase, he headed back to Amelia’s ward.

Aside from Amelia, there were two caretakers in the room that Oscar had specially hired to take care of her.

When they noticed him enter, the caretakers greeted him respectfully. “Mr. Clinton.”

He waved and said, “You guys can leave first.”

“Understood.”

With that, they left.

As Oscar approached her, Amelia blinked and smiled slightly. “How’s Ms. Yard?”

He pulled a chair over to the bed, sat down, and brushed away the hair fluttering against her cheeks. He said, “How do you feel? Are you tired? Did the caretakers purposely make things difficult for you?”

She looked at him seriously and replied, “I’m fine. How is Ms. Yard?”

He then tapped her nose and said, “Silly girl. Take care of yourself first. You barely escaped death, so you’d better take care of your health first and don’t worry about other things.”

She smiled and replied sweetly, “It doesn’t matter how I am. It’s fine as long as you’re not too tired. If Ms. Yard makes too much trouble, I’ll be fine with the caretakers here. I just don’t want you to exhaust yourself.”

Hearing that, he felt as if his heart was struck by something.

She was always thinking for him, but he had ignored and neglected her for nearly five years because of another woman he could not have. He wondered what was it that made his heart so cold.

Oscar felt warm and fuzzy inside. It seemed that Amelia could always make him feel touched.

Although her words were plain, the sincerity in them was unmistakable.

He tapped her nose again and said in a pampering yet helpless tone, “You silly girl. Has anyone ever said that you’re really silly?” You’re so silly that I can’t let go of you.

Her appearance was sexy, and she did things swiftly and decisively. Thus, she made men crazy for her and women jealous of her. However, she also had such a kind heart. The fact that such a person exists was nothing short of a miracle.

Although men’s lecherous eyes would only see her as an object they could play with, and women would only see her as an unfaithful vixen that only knew to seduce men, it was such a misunderstood woman that was the only one that constantly thought of and for Oscar.
