Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 60

After hanging up the phone, Oscar floored the accelerator and headed to the hospital, but it was the rush hour and traffic was heavy. Thus, he got out of the car and hailed a motorcycle taxi. With a serious look on his face, he told the driver, “To the Principal General Hospital, please.”.

Seeing his expression, the driver was too frightened to react. Growing displeased, Oscar growled, “Hurry.”

The driver panicked and repeated himself a few times. He then drove as fast as he could and only arrived at the hospital after about thirty minutes.

Upon arrival at the hospital, Oscar asked the nurse, who then told him that Amelia was undergoing an operation in the operating room on the third floor.

He went to the third floor and felt perturbed upon seeing that the surgery was still going on. A middle-aged man standing on the other side saw him and went to him timidly, asking, “A-Are

you the husband of the woman?”

Oscar gave him a piercing look, scaring the living daylights out of him.

“You’re the one who just called me?” asked Oscar.

The middle-aged man nodded.

“How did my wife get into a car accident? She was fine when I talked to her on the phone,” Oscar questioned with a frown.

The middle-aged man flinched as he replied fearfully, “I-I was in a hurry and ran the red light, so the lady swerved—”

Before he could finish speaking, Oscar lifted him off the ground and warned, “If something happens to my wife, I won’t let you off.”

“Sir, I didn’t run the red light on purpose. It’s just that I need money for my kids’ school, so I was in a hurry to go to work. I didn’t expect a car to come out so suddenly,”

Oscar punched him in the face before he could finish his sentence. Two police officers, who happened to come over to ask about the accident, saw Oscar’s action and hurriedly rushed up to them. “Sir, you can’t just hit people!”

Fuming with anger, Oscar protested, “This man’s the reason why my wife is in the operating room. Shouldn’t I beat him up? If it weren’t for him, Amelia wouldn’t have to suffer in the operating room.”

The two police officers fell silent.

“Did you run the red light and cause her to have an accident?” the female officer asked.

The middle-aged man became even more frightened as he replied, “I didn’t mean it, officer. Can you not put me in jail? I have a family to feed, and the kids still need me. I need to make money for their tuition fees.”

“Sir, don’t be afraid. We’re just taking you back to get some information,” the female office assured gently.

The middle-aged man covered his face with his hands and burst into tears. “I don’t want to go to jail. I still have a big family to feed.”

“Sir, if you continue to be like this, you’ll be obstructing us in performing our official duties, and we’ll need to get rough with you.” The two officers picked him up.

As Oscar walked up to the middle-aged man, the officers warned, “Sir, hitting people is against the law. We understand how you feel after the unfortunate incident that happened to your wife. But before we find out what has happened, please calm down and stop hitting people.”

“I don’t hit people. I just want him to give me my wife’s phone back,” stated Oscar.

With a pale face, the middle-aged man handed the phone to Oscar, who then took the phone and sat on the bench. He wanted to check her phone, but a passcode was required to unlock it. He tried to insert his birthdate and to his surprise, it was the correct passcode. Browsing through her phone, he was surprised to find that it was filled with his photos and posts about her feelings.

One of them read: I think I’ve fallen in love with Oscar. When I first married him, it was only because of money, but now, I’ve really fallen for him. Unfortunately, he only treats me like a sex toy. I don’t know if it’s right or wrong to fall in love with him, but I just do. There’s no turning back in love.

Another read: Today, he told me that Cassie is coming back soon, so he wanted to divorce me. I had mired feelings when he said that because I don’t want to divorce. I’ve already paid off my debts. Even if I no longer need money from him, I’m still willing to be with him. Sadly, he only has eyes for Cassie, not me. Hearing him call me a toy or a pet actually upset me. I tried asking him what he would do if I was pregnant, but he wanted me to abort it. Thus, I don’t dare to tell him about my pregnancy. This is our baby. Even if we divorce in the future, this child will be all I’ve left of him. In hindsight, if I had known that I would fall in love with him, I might not have married him, nor would I have let my baby lose his father even before he’s born.

The next read: I’ve been pregnant for three months now. The doctor said that the baby is very healthy. I’m very happy. I can feel the baby growing slowly in my belly. I’m starting to feel not as sad anymore even if Oscar wants to divorce me. As long as the child is born safely, I’ll shower him with both motherly love and fatherly love.
