Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 144 Panicked

“Listen to me, Oz. That was just a harmless joke. I love you and I love your child more. Regardless of who the mother is, I’ll treat the baby like my own.”

Oscar lowered his head to look at her—the girl with a bright smile whom he grew up with. Though she was behaving waywardly, it’s nothing compared to how horrible she has become now. A person who’s full of underhand tactics. She’s still lying with her eyes wide open.

The way Cassie behaved had let him down and also put him off. I was once so fond of her that I didn’t really get mad at her when she left for Erihal without any prior notice. Out of anger, I married Amelia. Yet, I was fully prepared to separate with her and take Cassie as my beautiful bride once she comes back.

Who would have thought that she’s left me for nearly five years? So many things have changed over the years. It transformed a gullible girl into a sly old fox. I don’t know her at all. That was how Oscar felt about Cassie at the moment.

When I first discovered her true colors, I deceived myself and blamed it on the years we’ve been separated. I thought that we needed time to get to know each other again and accept the changes observed. Alas, it’s just my illusion. She has changed to the point that I can’t recognize her anymore.

Withdrawing his arm from her grasp, Oscar uttered, “Cassie, get some rest since you haven’t fully recovered. I still have some work to do and won’t have the time to accompany you here.”

Panicked, she cast a look at Elizabeth, signaling her for help.

Elizabeth had regained her composure. She coughed lightly. “Oscar, can I say something?”

He respected her request. “Mrs. Yard, please go ahead.”

Elizabeth said, “Oscar, please don’t be mad at Cassie. Whatever she said was out of frustration, she didn’t really mean it. Blame it on me, it’s all my fault. I started it and she’s just heeding my lead.”

He scorned, “Mrs. Yard, I’m not a three-year-old kid.”

Elizabeth was taken back by his response. That’s true, Oscar is one legend who’s been praised by a group of cunning seniors. How silly could he be? He used to pamper Cassie because she was his favorite. He would even turn a blind eye and didn’t doubt her even when there were signs revealing her malicious intent. Now, she’s caught red handed. The rest of her misdeeds will eventually surface. There’s nothing that he won’t be able to trace and find out.

The panic-stricken Cassie said incoherently, “Oz, I turn green with envy that Amelia gets to stand beside you and have your baby. I’m the real deal. So why is she enjoying all the benefits? I have been blinded by hatred and took extreme actions against her. Please believe me, I didn’t intend to hurt her.”

Oscar sighed and then said in a stern voice, “Cassie, you have let me down. It was you who left me then. Otherwise, we wouldn’t end up where we are today.”

Tears continued to stream down her face. She knelt before him, pleading, “Oz, I’m sorry, I really am…” She fainted before she could finish her plea.

“What happened? Cassie! Doctor, doctor!” Elizabeth’s heart-piercing voice rang throughout the ward.
