A Graduation Gift novel Chapter 226

Amanda eagerly expressed, wanting Rufus to understand her devotion. The reason behind Rufus's accident was known to Amanda. 'I hold Cassandra responsible for it! While he was driving the car, she called him saying she wanted to break up. If it wasn't for that wretched woman, my Rufus wouldn't be in this condition, ' she thought angrily.

Amanda had done everything to her best ability in order to undermine their relationship. She deliberately made Cassandra misunderstand her relationship with Rufus. It seemed that her plan was finally bearing fruit. Thinking of that, a feeling of joy rose in her heart.

Hearing Amanda's mention of Cassandra, Rufus once again felt a sharp pain.

It evoked the recollection of what had happened right before his accident. Adamantly, Cassandra proposed to break up with him. She seemed so determined to break ties with him that she handed him the key of Garden Villa.

Her aloof attitude aggrieved him. He was struck by the knowledge that Cassandra would give up on their love so easily. However, he still didn't want Amanda to fill the void left by Cassandra. He couldn't possibly love Amanda or any other woman the way he loved Cassandra.

"Amanda, stop acting so childish. You very well know that the woman I love isn't you. I consider you as my sister. Then why are you wasting your time trying to please me? It will never happen!"

Rufus said trying to add some sense into Amanda's mind. Slowly, he tried to pull his hands free from Amanda's grip, but he was too feeble to do it.

"Rufus, I love you from the bottom of my heart. It pains me when you behave so coldly. Nothing you say or do will bring any change to my feelings. I will never give up on you, unlike Cassandra,"

Amanda said emotionally and fixated her tear-filled eyes on Rufus's face.

"Amanda, please don't hurt yourself for my sake. I don't deserve you,"

Rufus replied with a sigh. Amanda was too persistent. No matter what he said, she wouldn't take no for an answer. She continued with her pursuit on winning Rufus.

While this scene was going on, Cassandra also reached the hospital. Earlier she went home, took a shower and changed into new clothes. While she did these tasks, not once could she take her mind off Rufus. It was impossible for her to sleep as she felt ill at ease knowing Rufus was still unconscious.

Anxiously, she approached the door of the inpatient ward. Just when she was about to push the door open, she heard muffled conversation between two people.

Through the crack of the door, she noticed Rufus was awake. This led her to become overjoyed with pleasure. She had an ardent desire to sprint inside and hug him tightly. In the past two days, she had eagerly waited to confess how much she loved him. Suddenly, she noticed the person sitting next to him. 'It's Amanda!' Realization suddenly dawned on her.

She lay wrapped around on Rufus's body. Even with the commotion in the hospital, Cassandra could hear her stifled cries.

"Rufus, don't try to convince me anymore. It doesn't matter if you are with Cassandra or not, my feelings for you will remain the same. If you don't love me, its okay but please don't stop me from loving you. That's something my heart isn't willing to do. I wish you nothing but a healthy and happy life. I'm satisfied with the relationship we're currently in. I wish no more..."

Amanda sobbed. She looked very fragile in this condition.

"My stupid girl,"

Rufus comforted gently, wiping away her tears. Amanda loved him deeply. He couldn't be so tough to her. Besides, she was seriously ill. He didn't want to see her so sad.

Cassandra froze at their conversation. Right at this moment, she felt like someone had flung ice cold water on her.
