Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 340

Chapter 340 A Blessing In Disguise

Upon hanging up the call, Tiffany, who was in Beshya, let out a sigh. Noticing that, Amelia, who was sitting beside her, questioned, “What’s wrong? Didn’t Derrick call? Why are you still feeling so dejected?”

Tiffany shook her head and replied, “I don’t know. I can’t help but feel anxious. I used to think that it was so absurd for you to be easily affected by Oscar’s slightest action. Now that I’m experiencing it myself, I finally understand that it’s nothing surprising. Just like what you told me, a word or a gesture from that special someone could send ripples through one’s heart.”

After a few attempts, Amelia caught Tiffany’s hands and changed the topic. “Derrick has completely switched off his phone these few days. Is Oscar giving him a hard time?”

Worried that Amelia would complicate the matter, Tiffany answered, “He didn’t mention anything to me. Anyhow, I think he did that because he’s too busy at work. Don’t overthink things. Perhaps it has nothing to do with Oscar.”

Amelia could tell that Tiffany was just trying to console her as she fell silent and hung her head low.

“Tiff, if Oscar ever puts Derrick in a tight spot, tell him he has my permission to reveal my current address. I was the one who left in haste with Tony without considering the consequences. Seeing that they are searching for me high and low, it’s about time I close this chapter with the Clintons.”

Hearing that, Tiffany widened her eyes in disbelief. “What’s this nonsense, Amelia? Do you know what will happen if the Clintons know where you are? You will certainly lose Tony’s custody as well as the chance to see your son again!”

Taking a deep breath, Tiffany took a deep breath to calm herself down. “Sorry, Amelia, I didn’t mean to yell at you. I’ll take whatever you said as a joke. Please don’t say something so upsetting ever again.”

Amelia lifted her head, and the sparkle in her eyes had noticeably disappeared. “Tiff, I don’t want to create more problems for you.”

“Don’t you think that way, not even once. I do this for your sake, out of my own free will.”

Getting all worked up, Amelia ran her hands through the sheets frantically. Tiffany had no clue what Amelia was trying to do, so she grabbed her arms at the first instance.

“Tiff, listen to me. I didn’t say those words for fun. I’ve thought it through. It’s meaningless to play hide and seek with them because Oscar will never give up looking for me. I’m getting very sick and tired of running away from him throughout the days of my life. Since they intend to find me, why don’t I tell him? However, I won’t give them Tony.” Amelia was resolute.

Releasing a gasp, Tiffany protested, “Amelia, I don’t agree with you. It took us an eternity to plan and make that hard decision to leave the city that’s filled with lots of memories. And you want to return now? You know the Clintons like the back of your palm. Do you think you can fight them? Don’t be silly. We shall stay here as long as our location is not exposed to Oscar.”

“Then, are you willing to see Derrick suffer because of us? He’s the one you’re going to marry in the future. Don’t ruin your relationship because of this. It’s not worth it.” Amelia continued, “I’ve lost my vision, and my marriage is a disaster. I don’t want you to repeat the mistakes I’ve made. I won’t forgive myself if you do.”

Tiffany fell silent after hearing that.

Holding her arms tightly, Amelia added, “Tiff, listen to me, will you? Tell Derrick that he doesn’t need to worry about me. If Oscar gives him a hard time, he’s not obliged to keep my whereabouts a secret. I won’t blame him if ever Oscar finds me. I mean it.”

“How could you say that, Amelia? What do you take me for? I gave up my career to run away with you. Is this how you think of me? Am I a person who would sacrifice friendship for love? Am I really that despicable to you?” Anger laced Tiffany’s tone of voice as she was terribly exasperated at that moment.

Amelia had ants in her pants upon seeing how emotional Tiffany became. “Tiff, that’s not what I meant. I… I’m just…”

“Just what? Cut the crap! Don’t utter a word about dragging me into this mess. I sold my house to come to Beshya with you without any complaints. Why do you keep pushing me away? Doesn’t our friendship mean anything to you?” Tiffany flung Amelia’s hands away. Enraged, she remarked, “Let me cool down, Amelia. I can’t think straight right now.”

With that, she stormed off.

“Tiff… Tiff!” Amelia struggled to get up and stammered in the direction of the door. It was an extreme challenge for her. Five steps later, she tripped and fell. Unfortunately, her head hit the wall, resulting in blood gushing out of the big wound.

She tried to prop herself up but to no avail. The injury was quite severe that she started experiencing dizziness. Bringing a hand to her head, she felt feel something gluey dripping down from her temple.

Right then, Rory pushed the door open, and she was shocked to the core to find Amelia lying on the floor with a head injury. Rushing toward the other woman, Rory helped her up. “Amelia, are you okay?”

“My head hurts…” Amelia replied weakly.
