Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142 Let Go Of Me

Carter was flattered and he said dotingly, “Okay, let’s go up.” His response seemed to include a double meaning.

Upon hearing that, Oscar lost his cool. He released Cassie and darted forward to get a hold of Amelia’s shoulder. He pulled her over, and she fell into his arms.

Amelia was disgusted as she thought of how he was hugging another woman just moments ago, she wriggled out of his grip and yelled, “Oscar, let go of me.”

He did the exact opposite by tucking her in his embrace. As Amelia struggled to escape, he tightened his arms around her.

Tiffany caught up with them and started punching Oscar’s arms. “Oscar, let go of her. Amelia is pregnant with your child. If you hurt the baby, I’ll fight you to death.”

Her words reminded him to relax his grip.

As Amelia calmed down, she said indifferently, “Mr. Clinton, can you let me go? Unlike Ms. Yard, I’m not comfortable in showing affection in public.

“It was a misunderstanding, I’ll explain everything when we get home,” Oscar claimed.

A strong sense of disappointment surged within her. It wouldn’t have hurt so much if Oscar had admitted honestly. Who knows… even Oscar who’s always been upright and disdain to lie would show his disgraceful side.

She pushed him away. “I shall not disturb you since you still need to keep Ms. Yard company.”

Cassie wrapped her arms around him and chimed in feebly, “Oz, my wound hurts a little. Can you carry me, please?”

Oscar shot her a complicated look while Amelia lifted her chin and jeered at him, “Your little lover is waiting for you, Mr. Clinton. Carry her up so that nothing happens to her. Or else, you’re going to put the blame on me again.”

Amelia caught the smug on Cassie’s face, which went unnoticed by Oscar. In a flash, Cassie pretended to be innocent in front of him. “Let’s go, Oz. Ms. Winters has got no time for you because she needs to stay with Mr. Scott. Right, Ms. Winters?”

Amelia just looked at Cassie before she turned to Carter and said, “Let’s go, Carter.”

Then, they took the other elevator.

Oscar wanted to stop them, but was hauled back firmly by Cassie. She whined, “Oz, did you regret it?”

He lowered his eyes and looked at her. His gaze was clouded with mixed emotions. Finally, he channeled all his thoughts into a deep sigh and then responded patiently, “Don’t overthink things. Let me take you upstairs.”

“Don’t leave me, Oz. We’ve lost our child and all that I have now is you. If you abandon me, I doubt I could survive on my own…” Squeezing her hands into his, Cassie buried her head in his embrace as they entered the elevator.

Oscar’s gaze became extremely conflicted upon hearing this.

“There… there… I’m here, ain’t I? You’re the only daughter of the Yard family who is highly qualified and has a great career envied by many. Without me, you’ll still be able to unleash your talents. It’s just a miscarriage which led you into a mild depression. When your health improves, we can have our own baby again.”

Cassie replied in a weak voice, “Oz, you gave me a scare. The way you looked at Amelia, it was as if you’ve fallen in love with her. I fret at the sight of it. I just want to lie in your arms to make sure that you’re mine. Otherwise, I really don’t know what to do.”

He felt so troubled and was not in the mood to comfort the sobbing woman.

She continued to nestle in his arms. “Oz, don’t leave me. I love you so much. I really really love you. Although Amelia has been with you for five years, I didn’t forget about you when I was in Erihal. You have promised to marry me, so you can’t go back on your words.”

He hugged her. “Don’t think too much. I’m here with you, right?”

Cassie knew how to play her cards well. She did not go on blindly pleading for Oscar to fulfill his promise.

In fact, she said generously, “Oz, if you think that Ms. Winters has misunderstood you, I can explain to her. As much as I want to possess you, she’s your rightful wife. Moreover, she’s pregnant with your child. I can’t be so selfish to snatch away your family joy”

The tumult of emotions in his eyes faded. “Stop thinking about it. Your health is the utmost priority. As long as you’re well, everything else will fall into place.”

Cassie smirked as her mood liven up. “Oz, make sure you tell me everything. I can learn to live harmoniously with Ms. Winters for your sake.”

Oscar merely hugged her out of the elevator and accompanied her back to her ward.

Upon seeing them, the anxious Elizabeth said, “Cassie, where did you go? You’ve just undergone surgery. The doctor has advised against any major movements. Why don’t you heed the advice? You always make me worry.” As soon as she finished, she turned to Oscar and reprimanded him too, “Oscar, Cassie is being stubborn, but how could you be as ignorant as her?”

He looked sullen.

Cassie quickly justified, “Mom, it’s me who brought him out. You can scold me, but not Oz.”

Elizabeth felt defeated. People say that a married daughter will always take her husband’s side. Mine is outrightly protecting her man even before marrying him. Will my presence still matter once she does that?

Taking in a deep breath, Elizabeth asked, “Oscar, could you excuse us for a second? I’ve got something to tell Cassie.”

Oscar nodded. Right when he was about to take his leave, Cassie grabbed his arm.

“Oz, where are you going?” she asked with a pair of rounded puppy eyes as if she was a pitiful little girl who was abandoned.
