Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 448 The Feeling Of Falling In Love

At noon, the maid from the Larsons sent some packed lunch over. Despite Laura’s stoic face, Jennifer still cheerily invited Carter to join her for lunch. He had been at the hospital accompanying her the entire morning. Nonetheless, the man shook his head and rejected her kind offer, quoting that he had urgent matters to deal with at the company.

Once Carter left, the ward was only left with Jennifer and Laura.

The smile on Jennifer’s face soon vanished as she stared blankly at the meat in her bowl.

Heartbroken, Laura stroked her silky hair gently as she said, “Let’s go overseas after your discharge. This place isn’t for you.”

Jennifer shook her head.

“Mom, I can’t get him out of my head. I’m sure I won’t be happy even if I go abroad because I’ll still think of him,” She said with a determined tone. “I don’t want to give up on my relationship that easily, Mom. I’ve spent two years on him; I refused to leave so pathetically.”

Laura’s chest rose and fell heavily in anger.

“Why are you still thinking of him when you’re in such as state? Do you want to see me worry for you even in my old age? You won’t fall short of suitors with your looks and family background. Why must you cling onto him like this?”

Jennifer looked up with her reddened eyes and yelled uncontrollably, “You’re the one who asked me to return here back then. You’re also the one who persuaded me to go for the blind date. Yet, you’re saying I’m clinging onto him after I fell in love with him. What exactly must I do to satisfy you?”

Laura’s face went pale instantly as she stared at her daughter in disbelief.

Ruffling her hair in frustration, Jennifer continued in a softer tone, “Mom, I’m sorry. I don’t mean to shout at you. I’m just feeling too stifled with all the emotions in there.”

With an increasingly darkened face, Laura uttered, “Let’s eat. Anyway, I’ve discussed things with your dad. We’ve got in touch with a university in Anglandur and found a spot for you to further your studies. We’ll go abroad right after your recovery. This way, it’ll save you from turning yourself into a lifeless zombie because of your so-called love too.”

Jennifer threw her a cold glance. “Mom, I’m not going.”

“It’s not up to you to decide. I’ve let you do whatever you want for the past two years. I used to hope that you’ll become the daughter-in-law of the Scotts one day, but that isn’t the case now. All I want now is for you to have nothing to do with Carter. He’s unworthy of you.” It was a rare moment where Laura was rather assertive. “You’ve changed because of a man. You are once an obedient girl, but nowadays, you don’t listen to me anymore. I’ve decided; you’ll leave after you recover. The Scotts are clearly out of our league.”

Sick of her mother’s tirade, Jennifer fell back on her bed and covered herself up with the blanket.

“Jennifer, I’ll make it clear to you now. You’ll go overseas once you get discharged. And that’s that. There’s no room for discussion.” Finishing her words, Laura strode out of the room.
