Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117 Fight

When Elizabeth noticed that Oscar’s attention was all on Amelia, she flared up in anger and vented out her frustrations as though she had just found an opening.

“Oscar, your woman infuriated Cassie so much that she’s taken into the operating room again! Cassie lost her baby because of her, and yet she’s so persistent in bringing misfortune that she deliberately shows up here again to spite Cassie. Your woman is vile and vicious! She’s just jealous of other people’s good life. If anything untoward befalls Cassie, I will never forgive you!”

Oscar peered at Amelia and then judged the situation calmly. “Mrs. Yard, there must be some sort of misunderstanding here. Amelia’s not like that.”

It would have been better if he had not said anything, because once he spoke, Elizabeth exploded in rage. “Oscar, do you still have a conscience? Cassie had been pregnant with your child, but now she had lost it because of your wife! And yet Amelia hasn’t had enough. She came here to spite Cassie even more. Now Cassie’s in the operating room once again! I hope you all are satisfied!”

Oscar’s frown deepened.

“Mrs. Yard, you have to chill. Shouting and screaming aren’t going to help. Just be quiet and wait for the doctor.”

Elizabeth looked at Oscar with mixed emotions in her eyes. Out of the blue, she turned around and lunged at Amelia, like a hungry tigress targeting its prey.

“Amelia, you caused Cassie’s miscarriage. I want you to experience that too!”

Elizabeth sprang into action too quickly. Amelia could not react in time. Tiffany only managed to call out her name. “Amelia!”

Oscar instantly recovered from his daze. He leaped to the front and shielded Amelia in his arms, like a leopard protecting its cub, successfully blocking Elizabeth’s attack.

However, the older woman was relentless. After failing once, she got ready to try again, but this time when she was about to pounce, Tiffany quickly grabbed onto her from behind and the two broke into a fight. The younger woman might be a wordsmith who spent her days typing at home, but she was unexpectedly strong for her size. She landed one hit after another until Elizabeth could not take it anymore. The older woman crouched on the floor, brawling in pain.

“You witch! You wanted to attack Amelia, didn’t you? You wanted to kill her unborn child! Well, I’ll teach you a lesson! How do you like this? Just because we don’t fight back, do you think we’re weak? Today, I’ll show you exactly what I’m made of! Argh!”

Medical staff who were alerted by the ruckus rushed over to their location, only to be stunned by Tiffany’s act of fury. It took some effort, but the security guards eventually managed to separate the two angry women.

As a result of the fight, Tiffany’s hair was ruffled, her clothes disheveled, and she was panting heavily. On the other hand, Elizabeth’s was a greater mess. Her hair was tugged loose, she received a few bruises on her face, and had her top ripped at the shoulders.

Gasping for breath, feelings of humiliation, contempt, and disgraced all rushed at her at once, fanning the flames of hatred towards Amelia and Tiffany.

She was a woman of high social standing, pampered since childhood, never having endured even a bit of suffering in her life. She had never been treated this way.

“The police! I’ll call the police! If I don’t get this b*tch arrested by today, I’ll eat my shoe!” With that said, Elizabeth searched for her phone, but it must have dropped somewhere during the fight. She could not find it. “Where’s my phone? Give me my phone!” she bellowed in frustration.

No one came to her rescue, not even the medical staff. The two guards holding her down said to her, “Madam, you need to calm down. This is a hospital. You can’t go around shouting like this.”

Elizabeth only glared deviously at them. “What, now even a mere guard thinks he can give me attitude?”

To the rest of the medical staff, Oscar said, “You can go back to work.”

All the medical workers here recognized Oscar, so they were quite receptive to his request.

After everyone else had left, Oscar spoke to Elizabeth as calmly as he could. “Mrs. Yard, I think you should go to the bathroom and get yourself cleaned up. I’ll send for some clean clothes.”

Elizabeth said angrily, “Oscar, don’t think you can get rid of me that easily. If you don’t compensate me today, I will never let these two women off.”

Oscar felt a headache coming.

“Mrs. Yard, whatever you want to say, you can do that after you get cleaned up. This is a hospital, with people constantly on the go. I know you don’t want to be regarded as a lunatic.”

Elizabeth shot him a glance, but in the end, she relented and went to the bathroom. When she got out, Oscar already had a new set of clothes in hand. He passed them to Elizabeth. “Here, change into these.”

Elizabeth took them and went into Cassie’s ward. She made her exit a moment later, donned in a clean dress.

Crossing her arms, she glared at Tiffany before she went all aggressive again. “Oscar, as you already know, she hit me. What are you going to do about that?”

Before Oscar could say anything, Tiffany came forward and scoffed at the older woman, “Look here, old hag! Don’t forget you attacked Amelia first. If you were friendlier to her, do you think I need to hit you?”

Old hag?

Elizabeth’s face darkened completely. Her face was her most valuable asset. She spent a fortune every year just to maintain her looks. She might be in her fifties but she would boldly proclaim that she looked to be in her early forties, with her feminine charms still intact. This wretched girl has the gall to call me ‘old hag’! Oh, I’ll have my revenge!

Elizabeth turned to Oscar. “See, Oscar! She’s smearing my name! Do you intend to call the police, or shall I do it myself?”

Oscar glanced at Tiffany as he attempted to settle things in an orderly manner. “Mrs. Yard, Cassie’s still in the operating room. Let’s wait for her to wake up before we do anything hasty. Besides, it’s true that you had intended to harm Amelia and her unborn child. As generous as I try to be, I can’t just stand by while my child is in danger, and not do anything about it.”

Elizabeth could clearly tell that Oscar was expressing his own dissatisfaction.
