Love You Enough To Leave You Chapter 148
Chapter 148,Love You Enough to Leave You
“I’ll leave it to the two of you then. I’m old now, and I can’t meddle in the affairs of young people
anymore,” Elizabeth said, somewhat grudgingly. “Oz, if you no longer feel the same for Cassie as you
did at the beginning, then you shouldn’t have led her on. Cassie could have gone on to much better
things at Erihal. Perhaps she could even have be a world-ss pianist after two or three years.
The Yard family doesn’tck money, but it’s always good for women to have a profession of their own.”
Oscar stared steadfastly ahead without speaking. Elizabeth sighed. “Oz, I’m truthfully quite
disappointed with you.
I’d always believed that you were a man of your word. However, you’ve gone back and forth between
two women, taking pleasure in both of them even as they suffer from your indecisiveness. As a woman,
I despise men like you. Of course, I strongly objected to Cassie bing a third party in your
marriage. It’s too bad that she’s my only daughter. As much as I disapprove of her, she’s all I have, and
I’ve got to support her. I can’t stand by idly and let you hurt her.” Elizabeth finished off her surprisingly
moving speech by gazing up at Oscar defiantly. Oscar looked away. After pausing for a moment, he
met Elizabeth’s eyes.
“Mrs. Yard, I didn’t think things through since the beginning, so I’m truly sorry for that. I’ll definitely deal
with Cassie tactfully and deal with her as gently as I can. Even though we may no longer be a couple,
I’d still like to affirm that as long as she needs help, she only has to tell me. I’ll immediately drop
everything to help her to the best that I can. This is my promise to her. You can be sure that I’ll keep my
word.” Elizabeth’s resentment towards Oscar had greatly lessened by this point, and her face was no
longer as tense as it was. “Oz, this is the promise you have made, so you can’t go back on your word
for the rest of your life.
All I have is Cassie. Even if you don’t end up together with her, I hope that you’ll help Cassie retain
Yard Group and fend off prying hands. Cassie’s excellent at ying the piano, but she doesn’t have
much experience in business dealings. I don’t know if Cassie will be able to manage things,” Elizabeth
replied. Oscar nodded. “Mrs. Yard, I promise that whatever happens between us, I’ll never let Yard
Group fall into the hands of an outsider. This is my solemn promise to you. As long as Cassie asks for
help, I’lle to her aid.” Elizabeth was pleased. “Oz, it’ste.
Go in and sleep then,” Elizabeth said in a milder tone. “Initially, I thought you should head back, but
you’ve seen for yourself how unwilling Cassie is to let you go. She’s still weak and prone to emotional
agitation. Please take good care of her.” Oscar hesitated, then nodded slowly. “You head back first
then, Mrs. Yard. Leave Cassie to me,” Oscar said. “Mr. Yard’s busy with the business these days, and
it’ll be taxing on him to care for Cassie as well. Go back and assure him that I’ll be here.” “We’ll have to
trouble you, then. If anything happens to Cassie, be sure to call me.
We could have hired a dedicated nurse for her, but she insisted on having you here. I’m helpless in
many matters regarding Cassie. Please bear with her, and I’ll leave her to you,” Elizabeth instructed
before picking up her bag and making her exit. Oscar stood outside Cassie’s hospital room. The entire
corridor seemed deserted. That block consisted of premium wards, and the decor and facilities
avable were the best. Oscar fished out his phone from his pocket and dialed Amelia. She answered
almost instantly. “Have you gone home?” Oscar asked. Amelia’s voice over the phone was hushed.
“I’m at still the hospital. Carter’s still in the operating room. How’s Ms. Yard?” “She has just fallen
asleep,” Carter replied.
“Are you in her room?” Amelia asked tentatively. “No, I’m sitting on a chair along the corridor,” Carter
answered evenly. “It’ste. You should go back early and rest. I’ll be heading back with Tiff in a while,”
Amelia said. “OK.” Over the phone, the husband and his wife spoke tenderly. The conversation
bloomed with an intimacy that had never happened before in their interactions over the years. An air of
bashful romance floated over each of them. Neither Oscar nor Amelia was willing to be the first to hang
up. They had just parted, but this exchange was one of their rosiest moments as a couple. It might
have gone on forever if Tiffany hadn’t snatched the phone over from Amelia.
“Mr. Clinton, quickly go back and watch over Cassie. I’m borrowing Amelia for now. I’ll return Amelia to
you when you’ve finally found the time for her.” Having said that, Tiffany vehemently ended the call. On
their end, Tiffany nced at Amelia kindly after she hung up, saying, “Babe, you look ridiculous. If you
smile any wider, your teeth are all going to fall out.” Amelia pped both her hands to her cheeks,
feeling her ears burn with embarrassment. Tiffany sighed at her friend’s hapless state. This silly girl is
digging deeper and deeper into her own grave every day! Tiffany was pleased to see Amelia’s joy but
remained wary of the worst possible oue that might befall Amelia—a divorce.
Tiffany dared not imagine the depths of depression that Amelia might sink into if Oscar really divorced
her. She looks radiant and strong, but she’s just a scared little girl on the inside. “Babe, do you know
what you look like now?” Tiffany asked, nudging Amelia. Amelia, however, looked at Tiffany with
iprehension. “What do I look like?” “You look like a little fool who’s fallen head over heels in love.
You’ve been married to that husband of yours for five years. The first rush of romance should have
been long over! Isn’t it a little toote to feel bashful now?

You’re not young lovers meeting in secret, you’re husband and wife. You’re going to have a child soon!”
Tiffany joked. Amelia lowered her hands, she was still immersed in the sweet feeling after the
conversation she had with Oscar earlier. “Tiff, don’tugh at me,” Amelia said in earnest. Tiffany
rearranged her face to look serious. “Babe, calm down. I don’t want to be a wet nket either, but I
simply can’t bear to see you get hurt.
Unless Oscar has given you a surety of sorts, you should maintain a clear mind and forbid yourself
from getting too close, and don’tmit yourself so fully to him! If the worst happens, at least you
won’t have such a hard time picking up the pieces.” Amelia’s smile dimmed somewhat. At that, Tiffany
felt a twinge of guilt. “I’m sorry, Babe. I…” “Tiff, you’re right,” Amelia broke in, shaking her head
vigorously. “If you hadn’t reminded me, I’d still be naively smitten, and leap into his arms without
thinking of the possible consequences. I’m very grateful to you for your reminder.” Tiffany grew uneasy.
“Babe, are you OK?” she asked nervously. Amelia shook her head again. “Why wouldn’t I be OK?
Everyone can tell that Oscar and I are merely actors that got overly immersed in ying our roles.
Perhaps I got a little too greedy along the way and started wanting more than I should have expected.
But what isn’t destined to be mine will be taken away from me eventually. I’ll just go with the flow.
What’s mine will be mine, and I’ll let go if it isn’t meant to be. There’s no point in forcing things.” Tiffany
began to panic. “Babe, are you really OK?” Amelia looked sober. “Tiff, I’m not that fragile. I’ve always
understood the nature of our rtionship and my ce in Oscar’s heart. I won’t force things to go my
way or expect them to. Let’s go, or the Scotts may be worried.” Tiffany pursed her lips and replied,
“What could they possibly be worried about?
I don’t think they even want to see us. If it wasn’t for Carter, they’d probably have gotten rid of us by
now.” Gravely, Amelia remarked, “Don’t think too badly of the Scotts. Their attitude has improved
considerably over these four or five years. Besides, I’m not asking for much. All I want is the safe
delivery of my baby and an uneventful marriage with Oscar. I haven’t been too concerned about what
others may think of me.” Tiffany raised her eyebrows. “Babe, you’re pretty generous. I wouldn’t be able
to think of them so kindly if I were in your position.”
“Is that considered kindness? I just don’t really want to be hurt by people I have no attachment to. If I
started to care about them, I’d surely be on the losing end,” Amelia said with an air of enlightenment.
Tiffany surrendered. “Fine, Babe. I respect your decision. If you have chosen not to get involved, then I
shan’t either. Don’t expect me to be polite to the Scotts, though. That’s the best I can do to keep myself
from rushing over and beating them up. I get all fired up whenever I think about how they humiliated us
in the past.” “They’re nothing to us now,” Amelia soothed.
“All right. Calm down. Don’t be angry. You’re going to get wrinkles soon from all that frowning.” Tiffany
couldn’t help but break into a smile. Finally, Amelia felt her tensed muscles rx. Carter’s operation
lasted until 1 a.m. in the morning. Atst, the light over the door of the operating room shut off and
doctors streamed out, their faces etched with fatigue. Faye darted forward and clung onto one of the
doctor’s arms. “Dr. Freeman, how’s my son?” Dr. Freeman nced at her, then replied curtly, “The
patient is currently out of danger. But as his family members, do monitor his situation and keep an eye
on him.
If he isn’t careful, even our best surgical skills won’t be able to save him.” Tearfully, Faye eximed,
“We can’t thank you enough, doctor. When Carter recovers, I’ll surely prepare a good present for all of
you to express my gratitude for saving my son’s life!” Dr. Freeman’s expression softened upon hearing
that. “Mrs. Scott, you’re too kind. We only performed our professional duty, so please don’t feel
obligated to repay us.” “I must do that! You saved Carter,” Faye insisted. After exchanging a few more
pleasantries, Dr. Freeman finally excused himself and left with the other doctors in tow. When Carter
was brought back to the room by a few nurses, Faye turned to Amelia.
“Amelia, we’ve really troubled you today. It’s reallyte. why don’t you head home first to rest? You
must be mindful of the baby in your belly. Don’t stay up toote.” Upon hearing this, Tiffany sulked. She
was evidently displeased. What was the point of saying all this now when all things had already been
done? Tiffany fumed. Her words simply reeked of hypocrisy to her. However, Tiffany’s original loathing
for the Scotts might also have yed a part in tainting anything that Faye said or did. Amelia remained
gracious. “All right, I’ll be off with Tiff first, then. Can I trouble you to give me a call when Carter wakes
up? Tiff and I wille over to visit him whenever we’re free.” Faye nodded.
“It’s so sweet of you to care for him. I’ll definitely call you the moment Carter wakes up.” Without waiting
for Amelia to respond, Tiffany hauled her away. After they left, Jennifer approached Faye, asking, “Mrs.
Scott, did you agree to Carter and Amelia’s rtionship?” Faye clutched Jennifer’s hand. “Jennifer,
don’t misunderstand. Carter’s very obstinate. Since he’s set his heart on Amelia, any objection from me
may send him spiraling. Let’s see how things take their course. Based on what I’ve been observing, I
don’t think things will work out between Carter and Amelia. You’re the wife I want for my son, Jennifer.”
The look in Jennifer’s eyes was unfathomable. She’d waited on Carter with the utmost patience and
perseverance. Amelia’s insincere concern was nothingpared to what Jennifer had sacrificed.
However, even Faye was now clearly on Amelia’s side. Who do they take me for? I’m just a fool doing
all this for nothing! Jennifer seethed. Jennifer hailed from a wealthy, distinguished family. Pampered
since young, she received only the best and was treated as such.
No one had ever humiliated her in this way before. “Mrs. Scott, are you nning to treat me as a spare
tyre?” Jennifer asked candidly. Faye was indignant. “Jennifer, I know that you’ve suffered all this while.
But you’ve witnessed Carter’s situation yourself. I have no choice but to treat Amelia well, or Carter will
use his illness to kick up a fuss. I can’t let his condition deteriorate. He’s all I have. I can’t afford to let
anything happen to him.” Jennifer’s expression softened.
