Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 112 She Deserves a Rightful Status

“Olivia, Oscar, you both heard it. Cassie’s miscarriage this time has damaged her womb. There is a high possibility that she can never get pregnant again. What are your plans for her?” Elizabeth questioned them aggressively with her arms crossed.

Olivia coughed and spoke modestly, “We are very sad that Cassie is in this condition. We will definitely get her the best doctor possible. Besides, the doctor said that it would be difficult for her to conceive, not totally impossible. With the advanced medical technology available nowadays, so long as there is still a chance, Cassie can no doubt still be treated.”

Elizabeth snorted frigidly and looked at Olivia with contempt. “Olivia, you are a smart woman,” she said, “you have used your intelligence to win over the affection of two men gracefully. This is something that I could never compare to you. Now my daughter has fallen in love with your son. Even if she was wrong to flee her own wedding back then, she is back now. And she willingly bore Oscar’s child. Now she can’t have children in the future because of this child. Shouldn’t Oscar make it up to our Cassie?”

A flash of anger appeared in Olivia’s eyes. “I am very sad that Cassie is in this state,” she said, “but if you are asking Oscar to divorce Amelia and marry Cassie, I will not agree. Amelia is my favorite daughter-in-law. The fact that Cassie ran away meant that they were not destined for each other. Now, what’s done is done. We will hire the best doctors for Cassie, but as for giving her a rightful status by marrying her… I am against it.”

Elizabeth sneered at Olivia’s words. “Charlie, you heard her. This is the woman that you once liked. You didn’t know that she was such a heartless and cruel person, did you?”

Charlie stared helplessly at his wife and attempted to calm her down. “Olivia and I are just old friends, it’s really not what you think. Come on, that’s enough. Both of our families have been friends for many years, you are just making the whole situation tense and awkward for everyone here.”

Elizabeth shot him an ambivalent look and questioned, “You’re saying that I’m being unreasonable right now? It’s Olivia who is insulting our Cassie! You are Cassie’s father! You’re not speaking up for your daughter but siding with her instead. Just who is your family?”

The anger on Olivia’s face became even more apparent. Oscar, who had been silent all the while, stood in front of his mother to shield her. “Mr. Yard and Mrs. Yard,” he said, directing their attention to him, “I will not shirk from my responsibility toward Cassie but now is not the time yet. We should let Cassie recover and wait for Amelia to give birth first. No matter how degenerate I am, I can’t just abandon my pregnant wife and marry another woman. I don’t think the both of you would approve of that as well.”

Glaring at Oscar, Elizabeth did not back down at all. “Oscar, I watched you as you grew up. In the past, you wouldn’t just brush me off with such flimsy words. Be honest with me, are you planning to kick Cassie to the curb since you’ve had your way with her already?”

Oscar shook his head to deny her assumption and spoke steadily. “From the start, the only woman I wanted to marry was Cassie. But in life, once some things are over, you miss them forever. Even if she returns another five years later, I am still willing to marry her. A lot of things are out of my hands at the moment, so I can’t marry Cassie as of now.”

The rage in Elizabeth’s heart was reaching a boiling point. “Well done, Oscar,” she jeered, sarcasm oozing from each word she uttered, “my daughter has become infertile because of you. And you are simply saying that you can’t marry her so callously. Do you really think that the Yard family can’t do anything against the Clintons?”

Unaffected and unruffled, Oscar replied, “Mrs. Yard, there’s no point for us to keep going in circles regarding this issue. For the woman who I wish to marry, I will hold for her the grandest wedding possible. But I have no intention of getting married now. Even if you were to put a gun to my head, I would not bow down to your wishes.”

Hearing his reply, Elizabeth became even more aggressive. “Oscar, so what you’re saying is, you don’t plan to be responsible towards Cassie?”
