Love You Enough to Leave You Chapter 183
Elizabeth snapped back at him, “If you’re such a tough guy, you’d be shouting at them instead of me!”
At that point, Charlie was completely drained both physically and mentally.
Her unreasonable behavior and tantrums have exhausted him of his patience, and he could only let out a sigh as he said, “We might as well get a divorce if you’re going to keep acting like this. I’ll make sure to give you a fair share of my assets.”
Elizabeth was dumbfounded as she had thrown the tantrum under the assumption that Charlie would never divorce her.
Charlie was a capable person at work, and a loving father when it came to his family. He showered his wife and daughter with all the love and affection he could afford, which ended up spoiling Elizabeth a little too much. The only reason she never threw a tantrum throughout those years was because no one in the family had ever gone against her. As someone who always got her way with everything, the impact from Cassie’s incident combined with that of Tiffany hitting her pushed her over the edge and revealed her true nature.
“C-Charlie… W-What did you just say?”
Charlie closed his eyes and repeated himself slowly, “If you don’t stop this right now, we’ll get divorced, and Cassie will stay with me.”
With tears in her eyes, Elizabeth began flailing wildly at him as she cried, “Have you no heart, Charlie? I gave birth to our precious daughter and helped manage the household for over thirty years, and you choose to divorce me now? Are you crazy?”
“That’s enough, Mrs. Yard!” Oscar stepped in and pulled her off Charlie, only to have Elizabeth turn around and slap him across the face.
“Hey! How could you hit Oscar like that?” Olivia shouted at her as she examined his reddened cheek.
Elizabeth shot her a vicious glare. “Drop the act, Olivia! You’re the reason Charlie’s getting a divorce with me, aren’t you? How shameless can you get, stealing my husband when you’re already married?”
The words had barely left her mouth when Charlie spun her around and slapped her so hard that it left her stunned for a couple of seconds.
Charlie was already dragging her away by the time she came back to her senses. “Hey! Let me go, Charlie! I’m not done here!”
“One more word out of you and I’ll divorce you on the spot!”’
That silenced her instantly, and the hallway fell silent once again as the two of them disappeared into the distance.
“What the hell is wrong with these people?” Tiffany grumbled to herself as she watched them leave.
With Amelia’s fate still unknown, none of them were in the mood to care about what Elizabeth said.
The doors to the operating room were finally opened in the wee hours of the morning. A group of doctors marched out together with Professor Schweitzberg, and they all had faint smiles on their faces.
Oscar was the first to rush forward. “Professor! How is my wife doing?”
“She’s recovering well. We’ll continue to monitor her for a day or two, but she should be fine with plenty of rest. Still, keep in mind that the blood clot in her brain is really close to her nerves. She’s too weak for a brain surgery at the moment, so it’ll have to wait till she’s healed up from her injuries,” Professor Schweitzberg replied.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that.
The blood clot is a real pain and all, but her surviving the car accident is all that matters for now… As long as she’s alive, there will still be hope…
One of the doctors couldn’t help but exclaim, “Professor Schweitzberg’s medical skills are truly remarkable! We used to think we were the best in the field, but watching him at work made us realize we were far from it! Looks like we’ve still got a lot of room for improvement!”
Oscar grabbed Professor Schweitzberg by the hand and said, “Thank you so much for coming over, Professor! Why don’t you spend a couple more days here in Chanaea? I’ll be hosting a banquet to express my gratitude!”
Professor Schweitzberg chuckled. “Remember how you once promised me you’d give me a famous Chanaean painting as a gift? Well, I’d say this is a great opportunity for you to fulfill that promise of yours!”
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing that.
“I had someone mail it to you as soon as I returned to the country back then, but you changed your address, so the painting was returned in the end. As you’ve been roaming around a lot throughout the years, I had no choice but to postpone its delivery,” Oscar said with a chuckle.
Professor Schweitzberg had a great sense of humor and made a witty reply, “Well, you can give it to me now that I’m here! Also, I remember Chanaea having amazing lobster dishes. I’ll be staying here for a week, so you know what to do!”
That resulted in another wave of laughter from the crowd.
“Haha… You can eat whatever you want, Professor!” Oscar said happily.
Professor Schweitzberg gave him a pat on the shoulder. “You should go see your wife, Oscar. I’ll have a chat with Mr. Lancester.”
He then left with the group of doctors escorting him while James stayed behind with Oscar. “Hey, Oz! You owe me a huge favor too, you know?” he said while giving Oscar a light punch on the shoulder.
Oscar punched him back as he said, “Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about you!”
