Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145 Please Cherish Amelia

After Elizabeth left, Robert pointed at the sofa at the side. “Do have a seat, and let’s talk.”

Thus, Oscar sat down.

Likewise, Robert sat down on the sofa as well. After a moment’s silence, he asked, “Oscar, was the baby Cassie Yard just miscarried really yours?”

Oscar nodded honestly in response.

All at once, Robert’s expression darkened. “Is Amelia aware of this?”

Again, Oscar nodded.

At this moment, Robert’s expression had changed drastically, and his hands slowly clenched into fists.

“Oscar, I’d always thought that you’re a sensible person, who doesn’t have any vices common to those rich heirs. While you do patronize places like nightclubs and bars, I thought you knew your limits. However, never had I thought that you’d also learned to enjoy the pleasures of the flesh.”

Upon hearing this admonish, Oscar hung his head.

With a grim face, Robert solemnly said, “Oscar, I know you grew up with Cassie, and you once swore to take only her as your wife. However, your relationship with her has long since been irrevocably broken five years ago.” Then, he continued, “You have Amelia now, and she’s going to give birth in two months. How could you be so foolish to get entangled with that woman again? How could you betray Amelia like this? Having an affair, especially when your wife is pregnant, is something only the most despicable man does. Never in my life had I ever thought that you’d do that. Frankly speaking, I’m very disappointed with you.”

Throughout it all, Oscar was surprisingly silent, his expression grave.

In the next moment, Robert heaved a sigh. Raking a hand through his hair, he lamented, “Oscar, Oscar… It’s not that I want to lecture you, but you’re simply too reckless. How could you do such a thing? “I really like Amelia. Yes, she doesn’t have a prominent family background, but she has a sincere heart. Cassie is far beneath her in this. I thought you’d cherish her, but you did such a foolish thing instead. Ah, I don’t even know what to say anymore.”

Oscar then clasped his hands. “I’ll settle this matter, Mr. Lancester,” he promised.

At this, Robert sighed. I’m an outsider, after all, so I don’t have the right to speak further on this matter. But I really like Amelia and regard her as my own daughter. Having been around the block myself, I can tell that she’s the one who suits him most. She’s sensible, graceful, charming, beautiful, and has a sense of propriety. Only such a woman is worthy of Oscar. As for Cassie Yard, her beauty is overshadowed by her pettiness. Plus, she’s been pampered since young, so it’s probably not quite possible for her to be wholly considerate.

“I really don’t want to reproach you, Oscar, but you shouldn’t have done something so hurtful to Amelia. She is a nice girl. If you don’t appreciate her, you’ll regret it one day.”

Unbeknownst to Oscar, Robert’s warning was a prophecy that would actually come to pass. After he had gotten divorced from Amelia, it was torturous for him to live in the apartment that was filled with memories of her, and he could only use work to numb his longing for her.

Of course, this turn of events would only transpire in the future, so it would all be in retrospect later.

Subsequently, Robert stood up. Walking over to him, he lifted a hand and patted him on the shoulder. “Alright, I’ll end my tirade here. Please cherish Amelia, and remember that she’s your wife. As for Cassie, she’s really not for you.”

Oscar merely nodded in acknowledgment of his advice.

“I’ll go out first and leave the room to you and Elizabeth. She’s also a ruthless character, so be careful and make sure that she doesn’t hurt Amelia,” Robert reminded.

Oscar nodded once more.

After Robert had left, Elizabeth promptly came in.

“You’re not leaving anymore, are you, Oscar?” she demanded.

In reply, Oscar got to his feet and murmured, “I’ve got something to handle at the office, so please excuse me, Mrs. Yard. I’ll leave Cassie in your capable hands here.”

Upon hearing this, Elizabeth’s face became as dark as charcoal. “Stop right there!” she roared.

In the next moment, Oscar shifted his gaze to her, his imposing gaze giving off a sense of oppression.

At his gaze, Elizabeth unconsciously gulped before imploring, “I beg you, Oscar. Cassie’s condition now is largely because of you. Are you really that cruel to abandon her at this time? Even if you want to cut off all ties with her, shouldn’t you be doing so only when she has recovered?”

Nonetheless, Oscar said nothing.

Elizabeth couldn’t quite figure out his thoughts at this moment, so she tactfully appealed, “Oscar, Cassie didn’t do anything wrong, so please stay, won’t you? I beg you. I don’t care whatever happens between the two of you later, but she’s still in the operating room now, so I don’t want anything to happen to her. I promise not to interfere in the relationship between the two of you after she has recovered.”

After mulling it over for a while, Oscar finally nodded.

Having obtained his acquiescence, Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief and blurted, “Thank you, Oscar!”

“Mrs. Yard, I can wait until Cassie has fully recovered, but I do think that I need to redefine my relationship with her,” Oscar stated.

At this, Elizabeth’s expression stiffened.

But in the end, she heaved a sigh and replied, “I don’t want to interfere too much in your relationship with her, but I hope you’ll have a care with her feelings.”

“I’ll do my best.” Oscar nodded.

The two of them then left the director’s office and resumed their posts before the operating room.

They waited outside the operating room for about two and a half hours before the light above the operating room finally went off.

As a group of doctors walked out wearily while removing their masks, Elizabeth immediately rushed over. “How’s my daughter, doctor?”

At this question, the doctor in the lead grew incensed. “Mrs. Yard, if you’re truly concerned about your daughter, you should ensure that she remains calm. She’d just suffered a miscarriage, so if her emotions were to fluctuate so greatly, there’ll be a long-term effect on her health even after she recovers. If you don’t do your part, we doctors won’t be able to save her even if we were Hippocrates.”

Upon hearing this, Elizabeth became exceedingly desolate.
