Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244 It Must Be You

Oscar returned to the bedroom and got into the bed carefully. He enveloped Amelia in his embrace, kissed her hair, and said, “Silly girl. You have me. You can tell me whenever you feel wronged or scared. There is no need for you to suffer everything alone. Don’t you know how much it pains me to see you cry? Whenever you cry, it feels as if someone stabs me in my heart. I’m willing to punish Stephanie without mercy and even send her far away for your sake. Can you please don’t push me away?”

There was no reply from her except for the sound of her even breathing.

Oscar’s heart pained for the woman in his arms. He never felt something like this with Cassie. Now, he couldn’t remember why he kept holding on to Cassie for five years after she left him and neglected Amelia. He committed a grave mistake and wasted all the time he could be with Amelia. Instead, he kept pinning after the woman who betrayed him. Once Cassie was back, he finally realized how foolish his feelings were for her. He was sick of her after just a few months and finally realized that his infatuation with her was delusional.

If Amelia were not dying from an accident, he would continue to think that he loved Cassie. Therefore, there was a silver lining to the accident. At least it forced him to face his feelings for Amelia and discover how much he loved her.

Amelia was afraid to lose him, and he was afraid to lose her. She occupied his life fully, so he could not bear separation from her for even a day.

Oscar caressed Amelia’s hair gently. He was constantly worried about the blood clot in her brain. Therefore, he could never relax as long as it was there.

He hugged her even tighter to him until Amelia began to protest in her sleep. Then, he relaxed his hold slightly but did not let her go.

Oscar thought for a long while and finally fell asleep at around 2 a.m.

Meanwhile, Stephanie was feeling terrible as she felt pain all over her body. Her hatred for Amelia grew with the pain, and she blamed her for all the indignity she suffered. If not for Amelia, Stephanie believed that she would never be this miserable and had such shameful words branded on her body. She could never forget that moment. Hatred boiled and burned in her heart as she plotted ways to kick Amelia out of the Clinton family.

It was so painful that even the simple act of turning her body felt like needles piercing her. She gritted her teeth and looked at her phone. It was 2 a.m.

She dialed a number indignantly. Soon, a sleepy female voice answered, “Hello?”

Stephanie couldn’t resist a smirk and said sourly, “Cassie, how can you sleep at this moment? You sleep so soundly even though Oscar’s heart now belongs to another woman. I’m impressed.”

Cassie awoken instantly and asked nervously, “Stephanie, what do you mean?”

“Isn’t it obvious? It’s just as what you hear,” Stephanie said.

Cassie took a deep breath to calm down before she said, “Stephanie, you’re calling me so late at night just to anger me?”

“I’m not that free. I’m calling to tell you that the plan you gave me failed. Oscar saw the photos of Amelia hugging another man. He did not get angry with her but scolded me instead. I think he has completely fallen for her now, so our plans have to be changed,” Stephanie said, and a cruel gleam appeared in her eyes.

Cassie was enraged, and her voice turned shrill. “You’re lying! Oscar loves me, and his heart belongs to me. There’s no way he would fall in love with Amelia. He’s just angry with me. It’ll be fine again after a while.”

Cassie is so pitiful. She is still deceiving herself despite the truth before her eyes. Why did I regard her as the best person to marry Oscar and team up with her? I must have been out of my mind to befriend such a stupid and arrogant woman.

Stephanie sneered and said, “Cassie, you’re funny. Shouldn’t you know better than anyone else whether Oscar loves you?”

Cassie said confidently, “Oscar loves me, and I’m certain. He’s just angry that I threatened to kill myself. Once his anger dissipated, he’ll return to me.”

“Since you’re that confident, why did you work with me to do so many things to harm Amelia? If Oscar loves you, you don’t even have to worry about Amelia, do you?”

Stephanie’s words hit the nail on the head.

Cassie was rendered speechless.

“Why? Do you have nothing to say?” Stephanie said mockingly.

“Stephanie, don’t forget that we are on the same side,” Cassie reminded her on the phone.
