Chapter 144,Love You Enough to Leave You

“Listen to me, Oz. That was just a harmless joke. I love you and I love your child more. Regardless of who the mother is, I’ll treat the baby like my own.” Oscar lowered his head to look at her—the girl with a bright smile whom he grew up with. Though she was behaving waywardly, it’s nothing compared to how horrible she has become now. A person who’s full of underhand tactics. She’s still lying with her eyes wide open. The way Cassie behaved had let him down and also put him off. I was once so fond of her that I didn’t really get mad at her when she left for Erihal without any prior notice.

Out of anger, I married Amelia. Yet, I was fully prepared to separate with her and take Cassie as my beautiful bride once she comes back. Who would have thought that she’s left me for nearly five years? So many things have changed over the years. It transformed a gullible girl into a sly old fox. I don’t know her at all. That was how Oscar felt about Cassie at the moment. When I first discovered her true colors, I deceived myself and blamed it on the years we’ve been separated. I thought that we needed time to get to know each other again and accept the changes observed. Alas, it’s just my illusion. She has changed to the point that I can’t recognize her anymore. Withdrawing his arm from her grasp, Oscar uttered, “Cassie, get some rest since you haven’t fully recovered.

I still have some work to do and won’t have the time to accompany you here.” Panicked, she cast a look at Elizabeth, signaling her for help. Elizabeth had regained her composure. She coughed lightly. “Oscar, can I say something?” He respected her request. “Mrs. Yard, please go ahead.” Elizabeth said, “Oscar, please don’t be mad at Cassie. Whatever she said was out of frustration, she didn’t really mean it. Blame it on me, it’s all my fault. I started it and she’s just heeding my lead.” He scorned, “Mrs. Yard, I’m not a three-year-old kid.” Elizabeth was taken back by his response. That’s true, Oscar is one legend who’s been praised by a group of cunning seniors.

How silly could he be? He used to pamper Cassie because she was his favorite. He would even turn a blind eye and didn’t doubt her even when there were signs revealing her malicious intent. Now, she’s caught red handed. The rest of her misdeeds will eventually surface. There’s nothing that he won’t be able to trace and find out. The panic-stricken Cassie said incoherently, “Oz, I turn green with envy that Amelia gets to stand beside you and have your baby. I’m the real deal. So why is she enjoying all the benefits? I have been blinded by hatred and took extreme actions against her. Please believe me, I didn’t intend to hurt her.” Oscar sighed and then said in a stern voice, “Cassie, you have let me down.

It was you who left me then. Otherwise, we wouldn’t end up where we are today.” Tears continued to stream down her face. She knelt before him, pleading, “Oz, I’m sorry, I really am…” She fainted before she could finish her plea. “What happened? Cassie! Doctor, doctor!” Elizabeth’s heart-piercing voice rang throughout the ward. Shortly after, Cassie was pushed into the operating room. Clenching her fists, an anxious and exhausted Elizabeth paced to and fro in front of the operating room. Finally, her gaze landed on Oscar. She said wearily, “Oscar, this is the third time Cassie has entered the operating room. She has been the delicate little princess that everyone pampers since young.

Inevitably, she can be a little arrogant and is quite loose with her tongue. Nonetheless, you should be able to tell that she’s not malevolent. Just now, she was just joking. Can’t you forgive her this once, instead of pushing her to a point of no return?” With a grim expression, Oscar was seemingly deep in thought. Elizabeth looked imploringly into his eyes. “Oscar, please take our close relationship over the years into consideration, and don’t be so cruel to Cassie. She loves you. She’s got a gorgeous face, a beautiful figure, and a good educational background. She’s close to perfection. Yet, her life was far from perfect because of you. She couldn’t reconcile with the fact that Amelia is bearing your child while she lost hers.

All of these were harsh realities for her to take. Hence, she thought of crazy ideas in wanting to keep you.” Oscar’s sullen face made Elizabeth nervous. She could not read his mind. Most of the time, she was in fear and trepidation when faced with Oscar, who was very much her junior. “Oscar, do you want me to kowtow to you? If that’s what it takes for you to forgive Cassie.” Elizabeth started getting aggressive in her speech. He turned and looked straight into her eyes. “Mrs. Yard, it’s not a matter of forgiving Cassie. I need to carefully consider if she’s the one I want to spend the rest of my life with.
