The Love that Never Really Dies novel Chapter 62

“What would you like to eat after you get discharged? I’ll have them prepare it for you,” Oscar suddenly said as he reached out to touch her forehead. “If I’d known that you’d be so good to me once you knew I was pregnant, I’d have told you a long time ago,” said Amelia, though there was no telling whether she genuinely felt that way. Oscar said indifferently, “Stop thinking too much. Your only job now is to rest well.” Amelia stared at him for a long time. Suddenly, she flung her arms wide open and said, “Hold me, Mr. Clinton. For a split second during the accident this morning, I thought I saw the Grim Reaper calling for me.

My mind was completely blank at that time and when the car crashed onto the pillar, all I could think of was that I may not ever see you again in this lifetime.” A hint of surprise flashed across Oscar’s eyes. He continued listening to Amelia, his heart aching uncontrollably. “Mr. Clinton, forgive me for being too sappy. At that very moment of the car accident, all I could think of was that we are actually a legally wedded couple, but look at us now? We are like complete strangers.

Now that I have finally woken up, I feel completely different. So, if you are thinking what I’m thinking, I’d like to stay with you like a regular couple. We can be a simple yet happy family of three when the baby comes.” Oscar’s heart skipped a beat. “Mr. Clinton, when I am discharged, can we just live in peace like a normal family?” Amelia looked at him expectantly. Oscar’s eyes betrayed his tangled emotions before they slowly regained calmness. Retracting his hand, he said, “You are still in a daze after the accident. Rest well and don’t think too much.” A frosty chill invaded Amelia’s heart instantly. 

At the end of the day, to him, I am still Cassie’s replacement. I am completely dispensable. He doesn’t have an ounce of true feelings for me. Amelia concealed her emotions and smiled sweetly. “Mr. Clinton, I’m a little tired and I’d like to get some rest. Go on with your day if you are busy. The nurses can take care of me here.” Oscar tucked her in and said, “Just close your eyes and sleep. I’ll stay here with you.” With conflicted emotions, Amelia closed her eyes. She thought she would not be able to sleep, but she was knocked out within ten seconds. Tiffany only found out about Amelia’s car accident when she called her later that night. Instantly, she ignored her editors’ incessant calls and rushed to the hospital. Without even knocking,

Tiffany pushed the door open and cried out loud, “What happened to you, Amelia? How did you get into a car accident? What did the doctor say? Are you all right?” It was only then that she realized the large group of people in the room. They were either from the Clinton family or their business associates. Tiffany’s face began to burn. She chuckled nervously at her blunder before saying, “Oh, so everyone’s here.” Olivia, being the first to spot her, welcomed her quite heartily. “Oh, so it’s you, Tiffany. Come over here. We were so worried when Amelia got into the accident we forgot to inform you.

However, you are her best friend, and it is so kind of you to come and see her.” Tiffany smiled and replied, “As her mother-in-law, Mrs. Clinton, I’m sure you are having a tough time now that this happened to Amelia.” Olivia tugged her closer to herself and said, “You are so sweet. The doctor says her fetus could have been slightly startled, so she needs to have plenty of rest. I was just about to find something to entertain her, but you appeared just at the right time.

You stay with her, and I’ll bring the rest of the people outside.” Tiffany replied, “Take your time, Mrs. Clinton. You can leave Amelia with me.” When the whole group left, Tiffany’s face fell instantly. “Amelia, how did you get into a car accident? What did the doctor say? Are you all right? What about the baby?” Amelia recounted the accident briefly and comforted her by saying, “Tiff, I’m fine, so don’t worry about me.” Seeing that Amelia was not severely wounded, Tiffany finally relaxed and teased her, “We are really sisters in arms, with you getting into an accident not long after my accident. Thankfully, both you and the baby are fine. Otherwise, I’ll definitely hunt down the culprit and chop him into pieces.”

Amelia burst out laughing. Tiffany then asked her seriously, “What are your plans now that the Clintons know that you are pregnant?” Amelia replied, “I don’t know yet. I can only take one step at a time now, considering how powerful and influential the Clintons are. Before they knew I was pregnant, I could still have the child secretly. Now, I think I can only give birth under their supervision.” “What’s Oscar take on this?” Amelia shook her head. “I can’t read his thoughts. We have been married for four years, but I’ve barely been able to understand what really goes through his mind. He says I can have the child, but it looks like he wants the child to remain with the Clintons. Even if we were to get a divorce, he wouldn’t allow me to bring the child with me.”
