Love You Enough To Leave You Chapter 126


    Chapter 126,Love You Enough to Leave You


    “Amelia, are you or are you not going to see Carter? I’ll be frank with you. The doctor has already given


    his final prognosis. If he doesn’t wake up in three days, the chances of him ever waking up is only one


    in ten thousand. If you still see him as a friend, follow me to the hospital,” Jennifer insisted. Slightly


    frenzied, Amelia shot to her feet. “It’s that serious?” “You can believe whatever you want, Amelia.


    That’s all I have to say.” Amelia could detect the anger simmering in the otherdy who was obviously


    here to beg her, but seemed more like she was threatening her instead. Although Amelia had already


    decided to visit Carter, she still wanted to kick Jennifer’s arrogance down a few notches.


    I knew it. Jennifer’s rtively pleasant behavior just now was too good to be true. “Ms. Larson, if you


    beg me, perhaps I’ll consider it.” Amelia gave her some attitude as well. Jennifer was momentarily


    dumbfounded, eximing in disbelief, “What did you say?” Amelia pointed to the ground and


    borated, “Ms. Larson. If you kneel and beg me, I’ll follow you to the hospital immediately. Otherwise,


    I’m sorry, but I’d rather go home and cook for my husband.” Jennifer took off her shades and red


    vehemently at Amelia, her eyes seemingly calling thetter crazy. Amelia shrugged her shoulders and


    smiled nonchntly.

    “What? You don’t want to, Ms. Larson?” Without waiting for a response, she pushed back her chair. “In


    that case, I’m sorry. I have a lot of work to do, so I’ll get going first.” She spun on her heels and walked


    away, but she soon unexpectedly heard a soft thud behind her. Amelia turned around and was utterly


    shocked to see that Jennifer had actually dropped to her knees. Even the waiters in the café were


    stunned.


    Amelia hurried over, wanting to reach out to help Jennifer up, but thetter stared at her with a resolute


    gaze and gritted out, “Now can you go to the hospital with me, Amelia?” Amelia flicked her eyes toward


    the waiters, who were rushing over, and said in exasperation, “Get up first. This is a public area.


    Everyone’s watching.” “Follow me to the hospital, then I’ll get up.” Ameliapromised, “Yes, yes. I’ll


    follow you! I was only joking. I didn’t expect that you’d take it so seriously.” With that, Jennifer got to her


    feet and returned to being her pompous self. Then, she exined to the waiters who had just reached


    them, “No big deal. I just twisted my ankle. All of you go back to work.”


    Only then did the waiters retreat. Jennifer went ahead of Amelia to pay the bill. “Let’s go.” Amelia got


    into Jennifer’s car and called Molly after fastening her seatbelt. “Molly, just cook something simple and


    leave it on the table. I’ll go back and heat it up myselfter.” Then, Molly said something over the phone


    that got Amelia saying, “Nothing. Something happened to a friend of mine, so I’m going to visit him at


    the hospital. I’ll be home once I’ve seen that he’s alright. I might not be able to cook for Oscar today.


    Call him for me, will you? Ask him if he’s eating.


    If he is, cook another portion for him.” After Molly gave her reply over the phone, Amelia spoke again,


    “I’m hanging up now. If you have something to do, you may leave once you’re done cooking. You don’t


    have toe again in the evening. I can cook on my own. Alright, that’s all.” After ending the call, she


    turned to say to Jennifer, “Let’s go.” As Jennifer put the car in drive, she said with mild annoyance, “It’s


    not like she’s your mom. She’s only a maid. Why do you have to report everything to her? Don’t tell me


    you really take her as your mother?”


    Amelia couldn’t be bothered to respond. Jennifer, too, felt that she was embarrassing herself. Hence,


    she merely kept her mouth zipped. She was speeding the entire journey and almost ran a red light. If


    Amelia hadn’t reminded her, Jennifer might have even floored the elerator. They arrived at the


    hospital in twenty minutes. After Jennifer parked the car, Amelia’s face had already gone deathly pale.


    Amelia side-eyed the other woman andined, “Ms. Larson, if you have suicidal tendencies,


    please don’t drag me down with you. I have my own family and will be having a baby soon.


    I’m not a cat with nine lives, you know?” Jennifer opened the car door and got out without answering


    her. Upon seeing her act so nonchnt about it all, Amelia was bereft of speech. I guess there’s really


    no way to reason with an unreasonable person. She got out of the car with a shake of her head and


    took the elevator with Jennifer to the tenth floor. Coincidently, Cassie’s ward was on the same floor.


    Amelia’s expression froze for a split second upon exiting the elevator. It would have been fine if they


    were merely staying in the same hospital, but they were even on the same floor.


    She had the sudden urge to turn tail and run. She trailed after Jennifer to Carter’s ward and looked up


    to see that his ward number was 1008, which meant that Cassie was only two rooms away. It was too


    much of a coincidence; she found it hard to believe. This doesn’t even happen in TV dramas and


    movies. Jennifer opened the door and urged, “Let’s go in.” Amelia shook her head inconspicuously to


    cast away the turmoil in her heart and followed her into the ward. There were six people in the ward.


    Apart from Carter’s parents, even his grandfather was present. As for the other three people, Amelia


    had never seen them before.


    Everyone was astonished to see Amelia. Faye’s eyes widened to the size of ser balls, and she


    snapped her head toward Jennifer with a puzzled expression. “You brought her here, Jennifer?” she


    demanded in a displeased tone. Jennifer nced at the unconscious Carter on the bed and rified,


    “Mrs. Scott, don’t be mad. I went to her as ast resort. Carter’satose state these past few days


    doesn’t make sense. Even the doctors can’t find the cause of it. Besides, he’s been constantly


    mumbling her name in his sleep, so I brought her here. Perhaps she can, to a certain extent, help him


    wake up.”


    Faye fell silent for a while, and her expression soon eased. “Mr. Scott, it’s been a while. How are you


    doing?” Amelia greeted civilly. Abel briefly studied her. Even he had to admit that the woman looked


    more confident and feminine after five years. Compared to Jennifer’s pure appearance, Amelia’s


    mature and alluring vibe proved even more lethal to men. This was the exact reason why his grandson


    was still so obsessed with her after so many years. “Indeed, it’s been a while, Ms. Winters. You’re even


    more beautiful than before,” Abel praised. Amelia was taken aback for a moment before she put on a


    benevolent smile. “Thank you, Mr. Scott. You don’t look a day older than thest time I saw you.”


    Before Abel could reply, Faye interrupted anxiously, “Amelia, thank you foring to visit Carter today.


    Apart from having a gastric perforation, he developed a high fever during the night and was rescued by


    the doctors, but he then soon fell into aa. Even in his state of unconsciousness, he’s still calling


    out your name. Save him. I beg you.” Amelia nced at Faye with aplicated gaze and answered in


    a stand-offish tone, “Mrs. Scott, I’m not a doctor, so I may be of no help to Carter’s condition.” Faye


    suddenly grabbed her hand and cried out emotionally, “No. You must have a way. The doctors said


    Carter can’t wake up because subconsciously, he doesn’t want to.


    But even then, he’s still calling out your name, which means that his subconscious mind is thinking


    about you. As long as you can wake him up, I promise to treat you like my own daughter.” Amelia


    instinctively took a step back, but Faye did not let go of her, pressing further, “Amelia, Carter’s life is in


    your hands. I know I’ve done some terrible things before, and I’m sorry. As long as you’re willing to


    save him, I’ll do anything you want. I’ll even grovel at your feet if that’s what you want.” Amelia was


    dumbstruck, to say the least. She never expected Faye to be such an emotional mess. “Don’t be like


    this, Mrs. Scott.” Amelia hastily stopped the woman from kneeling on the ground.


    Jennifer came forward to support her as well before adding, “Calm down, Mrs. Scott. I believe Carter


    will be fine. He’s an outstanding man and an even more filial son. I know he wouldn’t be able to bear


    watching his mother cry.” Faye leaned against Jennifer and wept silently. Amelia took that opportunity


    to approach the bed. When she peered down at Carter, her eyes flickered with conflicting emotions.


    Except for his slightly paleplexion, there was nothing unusual about the man; he looked as though


    he was merely in a deep slumber. If she was being honest with herself, she would rather believe he


    was only sleeping than ept the hard truth.


    For as long as she could remember, Carter was invincible, just like Oscar. That was why when he


    vanished during the lowest point in her life five years ago, she never once med him. She believed


    that he had his reasons for doing so and that the man she once loved wasn’t a coward. It was why she


    took the initiative to contact him after so many years. But currently, that brilliant, gentle, and masculine


    man that held a ce in her heart was lyingatose on a hospital bed. The doctors even said he


    would fall into a vegetative state if he didn’t wake up within three days.


    She would rather believe that this was some kind of cruel prank — once it was over, he would wake up.


    Or perhaps it would be like in fairytales where the prince waited for his princess to awaken him with a


    kiss. Indeed, he was a prince, but it was a shame that she was no princess. At most, she was


    Cindere — a girl who married into a wealthy family but never received anyone’s recognition. Her


    heart broke for the man and also for the love they could have shared. She leaned down and spoke


    softly, “Hey Carter, I’m here to see you. Can you please wake up? I have to admit, you do look like a


    prince in your sleep, but I don’t want to be the fearless princess who has to go through all kinds of


    ordeals to be beside you.


    It’s too exhausting, and I’m sure you won’t want me to suffer like that either, right? So wake up. As long


    as you wake up, we’ll still be good friends, or maybe… Well, it’s for me to know and for you to find out.


    I’m only giving you two days. If you’re not awake by then, I’ll take back my promise.” Strangely, after


    Amelia spoke, Carter’s brows furrowed imperceptibly. Both Faye and Jennifer, who were watching him


    like a hawk, looked at each other. Then, Faye eximed, “Jennifer, did you see that? Carter’s brows


    moved! Quick, call the doctor! Call the doctor now!” Jennifer still managed to maintain her cool when


    she advised, “Mrs. Scott, don’t get so worked up yet. Let’s wait for Amelia to finish speaking to him.


    Calling the doctor too soon might only bring us back to square one.” Only then did Faye calm down.


    She touched her hair embarrassedly and said, “Sorry. My emotions got the best of me.” Amelia


    continued speaking without restraint, “Carter, to be honest, I didn’t n on visiting you today. I’m


    married, and I have my own family. Not to mention that I’ll be having a baby soon. I’ve always wanted


    to keep a safe distance from you. So sometimes, I felt burdened by your love, but there were also times


    when my heart broke for you. If we never met, perhaps none of this would’ve happened.


    I would’ve found an honest man to marry, and you would’ve met a lovely and thoughtful girlfriend,


    who’d then be your wife and the mother of your children.” Carter’s fingers visibly moved after she


    said this, but still, he remained unconscious. Amelia continued, “Carter, even though we can’t be


    lovers, I sincerely regard you as my friend and confidant. I’m also grateful for all the things you’ve done


    for me. Once my baby is born, you will be his godfather, and as his godfather, you need to protect him.


    Don’t you want to make sure I safely give birth to this child?”
