Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 142
Chapter 142 Let Go Of Me
Carter was ttered and he said dotingly, “Okay, let’s go up.” His response seemed to include a double
meaning.
Upon hearing that, Oscar lost his cool. He released Cassie and darted forward to get a hold of Amelia’s
shoulder. He pulled her over, and she fell into his arms.
Amelia was disgusted as she thought of how he was hugging another woman just moments ago, she
wriggled out of his grip and yelled, “Oscar, let go of me.”
He did the exact opposite by tucking her in his embrace. As Amelia struggled to escape, he tightened
his arms around her.
Tiffany caught up with them and started punching Oscar’s arms. “Oscar, let go of her. Amelia is
pregnant with your child. If you hurt the baby, I’ll fight you to death.”
Her words reminded him to rx his grip.
As Amelia calmed down, she said indifferently, “Mr. Clinton, can you let me go? Unlike Ms. Yard, I’m
notfortable in showing affection in public.
“It was a misunderstanding, I’ll exin everything when we get home,” Oscar imed.
A strong sense of disappointment surged within her. It wouldn’t have hurt so much if Oscar had
admitted honestly. Who knows… even Oscar who’s always been upright and disdain to lie would show
his disgraceful side.
She pushed him away. “I shall not disturb you since you still need to keep Ms. Yardpany.”
Cassie wrapped her arms around him and chimed in feebly, “Oz, my wound hurts a little. Can you carry
me, please?”
Oscar shot her aplicated look while Amelia lifted her chin and jeered at him, “Your little lover is
waiting for you, Mr. Clinton. Carry her up so that nothing happens to her. Or else, you’re going to put
the me on me again.”
Amelia caught the smug on Cassie’s face, which went unnoticed by Oscar. In a sh, Cassie pretended
to be innocent in front of him. “Let’s go, Oz. Ms. Winters has got no time for you because she needs to
stay with Mr. Scott. Right, Ms. Winters?”
Amelia just looked at Cassie before she turned to Carter and said, “Let’s go, Carter.”
Then, they took the other elevator.
Oscar wanted to stop them, but was hauled back firmly by Cassie. She whined, “Oz, did you regret it?”
He lowered his eyes and looked at her. His gaze was clouded with mixed emotions. Finally, he
channeled all his thoughts into a deep sigh and then responded patiently, “Don’t overthink things. Let
me take you upstairs.”
“Don’t leave me, Oz. We’ve lost our child and all that I have now is you. If you abandon me, I doubt I
could survive on my own…” Squeezing her hands into his, Cassie buried her head in his embrace as
they entered the elevator.
Oscar’s gaze became extremely conflicted upon hearing this.
“There… there… I’m here, ain’t I? You’re the only daughter of the Yard family who is highly qualified
and has a great career envied by many. Without me, you’ll still be able to unleash your talents. It’s just
a miscarriage which led you into a mild depression. When your health improves, we can have our own
baby again.”
Cassie replied in a weak voice, “Oz, you gave me a scare. The way you looked at Amelia, it was as if
you’ve fallen in love with her. I fret at the sight of it. I just want to lie in your arms to make sure that
you’re mine. Otherwise, I really don’t know what to do.”
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
He felt so troubled and was not in the mood tofort the sobbing woman.
She continued to nestle in his arms. “Oz, don’t leave me. I love you so much. I really really love you.
Although Amelia has been with you for five years, I didn’t forget about you when I was in Erihal. You
have promised to marry me, so you can’t go back on your words.”
He hugged her. “Don’t think too much. I’m here with you, right?”
Cassie knew how to y her cards well. She did not go on blindly pleading for Oscar to fulfill his
promise.
In fact, she said generously, “Oz, if you think that Ms. Winters has misunderstood you, I can exin to
her. As much as I want to possess you, she’s your rightful wife. Moreover, she’s pregnant with your
child. I can’t be so selfish to snatch away your family joy”
The tumult of emotions in his eyes faded. “Stop thinking about it. Your health is the utmost priority. As
long as you’re well, everything else will fall into ce.”
Cassie smirked as her mood liven up. “Oz, make sure you tell me everything. I can learn to live
harmoniously with Ms. Winters for your sake.”
Oscar merely hugged her out of the elevator and apanied her back to her ward.
Upon seeing them, the anxious Elizabeth said, “Cassie, where did you go? You’ve just undergone
surgery. The doctor has advised against any major movements. Why don’t you heed the advice? You
always make me worry.” As soon as she finished, she turned to Oscar and reprimanded him too,
“Oscar, Cassie is being stubborn, but how could you be as ignorant as her?”
He looked sullen.
Cassie quickly justified, “Mom, it’s me who brought him out. You can scold me, but not Oz.”
Elizabeth felt defeated. People say that a married daughter will always take her husband’s side. Mine is
outrightly protecting her man even before marrying him. Will my presence still matter once she does
that?
Taking in a deep breath, Elizabeth asked, “Oscar, could you excuse us for a second? I’ve got
something to tell Cassie.”
Oscar nodded. Right when he was about to take his leave, Cassie grabbed his arm.
“Oz, where are you going?” she asked with a pair of rounded puppy eyes as if she was a pitiful little girl
who was abandoned.
“I’m heading out for a while. Be good.”
“Stop acting like this, Cassie! Oscar has something to attend to. I just want to have a chat with you.”
Elizabeth tried to hold back her anger.
After pondering for a while, Cassie agreed, “Oz, don’t go too far.”
He nodded once more.
As soon as he left the ward, the pitiful look on Cassie’s face disappeared.
“Mom, why did you speak so poorly to Oz? What am I going to do if you scare him off?” Cassie
comined.
Elizabeth was so fed up with her daughter. “Cassie, can you be more dignified?”
Cassie sat on the bed carefully. “Mom, Oz and I have lost nearly five years of precious time. I have to
do something before my man is snatched away by that woman.”
“As much as you want to keep your man, you shouldn’t be so clingy. Do you know what you look like
right now? A nymphomaniac!” rebuked Elizabeth.
“I’m madly in love with him. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have thought about using my pregnancy loss to trick
him to stay. As a result, I don’t even know if it will affect my chance to conceive in the future.” As
Cassie got all worked up, she ced her hand on her stomach and made a painful moan.
Elizabeth tucked her in lovingly.
Cassie’s gaze went nk. She mumbled, “Mom, don’t be crossed at me for pulling tricks on him. I have
no choice. Oz is getting more and more concerned about his contracted wife. Although he spends time
with me every day, he’s often distracted and lost in his own thoughts. Sometimes, he smiles to himself.
I know that I’m not the reason why he beams with joy. I’m really scared. What if he’s already fallen for
the woman without realizing it?”
If you knew this would happen, why didn’t you treasure the rtionship from the start? Elizabeth was
heartbroken and upset at the same time.
“If you truly love Oscar, you shouldn’t have run away from marrying him four to five years ago. If you
hadn’t done so back then, perhaps you already have a cute toddler and I’m a grandmother now. You
only returned after five long years, do you really think that a man would wait so long in the name of
love?”
Cassie looked at her mother helplessly. “Mom, what should I do? I don’t want to ruin my life for Oscar. I
want to treat him sincerely, but I’ve made so many unforgivable mistakes in my younger days. I’m
afraid that he’ll hate me and leave me if he sees my true colors.”
Elizabeth covered her with a nket. “Don’t think about it anymore.”
Cassie held her hand tightly. “Mom, I’m really scared. Oscar is showing more care toward that woman.
Only you can help me now. I’ll have no one to turn to if you ignore me too.”
Sitting on the chair, Elizabeth asked, “How do you want me to help you?”
“I don’t want Amelia to keep the baby.”
“No!” Elizabeth vetoed it. “The doctor has mentioned that it’ll be a challenge for you to bear a child
again. Thus, you must keep Amelia’s baby. Once the child is born, you can request for Oscar to divorce
her and raise the child like your own. If her baby is gone and you can’t get pregnant again, the Clintons
will seek for a surrogate mother to produce an heir.”
A ruthless look shed across Cassie’s eyes while she dug her fingers into the white sheets. “Mom, Oz
and I will have our own baby.”
“Don’t be crazy, Cassie! The doctor has confirmed that your chance of childbearing is extremely slim. If
Amelia loses her baby too, it will be even harder for you to step foot into the Clinton family.” Elizabeth
could tell that Mrs. Clinton was not very fond of Cassie.
“But I can’t stand raising a child from another woman. It feels like betrayal.”
“Speaking of betrayal, you’re the one who dishonored him when you fled away from your own wedding
and created all these messes.” Elizabeth was furious. “You left, so he found a new wife. Do you expect
him to remain celibate? How naive of you to think that he could do that when you can’t!”
Cassie was deeply hurt. “Mom, am I really your daughter?”
“It’s because you’re my daughter, I want to make this clear to you. Don’t act like a kid and request the
man to do this or that. Oscar is not an ordinary man, he’s way too excellent. The number of women
who would fall head over heels for him will only be on the rise. You shouldn’t waste your time getting
jealous; Instead, you should channel all your effort to upgrade yourself and be a perfect match for him.
You’re the heir of the Yard Group. You’re artistic, young, and talented. What is there to fear?” Elizabeth
tried to make her see the reality.
Cassie replied, “Mom, I know I’m great, but Oz is no longer paying attention to me. I’m really fretful.”
Elizabeth poured a ss of warm water for her. “Drink some and warm your body up. Don’t think too
much. You have the backing of the entire Yard family. The Clintons and us have been friends for years.
Unless they’re ready to burn bridges, they won’t make things difficult for you.”
Grabbing Elizabeth’s hands, Cassie expressed her frustration, “Mom, I don’t want to see Amelia giving
birth to that baby. Its arrival will definitely strengthen her bond with Oz. He may appear to be indifferent,
deep down he’s someone who cherishes the people around him. He might choose not to divorce
Amelia for the child’s sake. When that happens, I’ll be abandoned.”
A menacing look shed before Elizabeth’s eyes. “Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Mom, you know very well that I’m not bbing gibberish.”
Elizabeth sank into deep thoughts.
“Mom, I really don’t want Amelia to give birth to this child. Can you help me, please?” Cassie presented
a heartless request.
Elizabeth remained silent.
“Mom, I’m your only daughter. Are you willing to see me suffer?”
Heaving a sigh, Elizabeth was in a quandary. “Cassie, it’s not that I’m not willing to help you. I’m
thinking ahead of what’s best for you. With Amelia’s child, you’ll have a higher chance to be married
into the Clinton family. Without it, Olivia will not ept you.”
Lowering her eyes and clutching the sheets tightly in her hands, the veins popped in her rage.
