Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 166 What Do You Want Me To Do

On the one hand, Amelia and Oscar were enjoying themselves, the living room filled with intimacy and tenderness. But, on the other hand, the atmosphere at the hospital was bleak.

Stephanie dragged the sofa over to the bed and plopped down without the slightest hint of self-consciousness. Looking distressingly at Cassie, who was as pale as a sheet on the hospital bed, she lamented, “How did you end up in such a state, Cassie? How did you lose the child all of a sudden? If I hadn’t overheard my mom’s conversation this afternoon, I wouldn’t even have known that you’ve been admitted to the hospital. I’m really anguished to see you like this.”

As Cassie stared at her, her eyes suddenly went red from aggrievement.

Upon seeing this, Stephanie hastily snagged a tissue for her. “What’s wrong? Why are you crying out of the blue?” she questioned.

Feeling all the more aggrieved, Cassie sniffled pitifully, “Steph, I only dare weep in front of you because we’ve known each other since young. I don’t dare grouse at your brother when he’s here, afraid that he’ll get sick of me and not want me anymore. However, there’s just this ball of distress within me. If I continue bottling it up, I’m truly afraid that I’ll go crazy.”

After wiping her tears for her, Stephanie urged, “Just tell me whatever’s troubling you. I’ll help you out. You’re the woman Oscar loves most, so he’ll feel for you if you grouse at him. He’ll never disdain you.”

Surprisingly, Cassie’s tears flowed all the swifter, making her appear extremely pitiful.

Stephanie truly regarded her as a friend and hoped that she would be her sister-in-law, so she grew panicked when she saw Cassie wailing in such devastation.

“Say something, Cassie! Don’t just cry. Just tell me if someone is bullying you, for you’ve still got me to stand up for you if worse comes to worst,” Stephanie prompted.

Dashing off her tears, Cassie murmured while still holding her cards close to her chest, “Steph, I only dare say this to you, so don’t repeat it to your brother. I’m afraid that he’ll blame me for sowing discord before you. Since I betrayed him back when I was young and willful, I’ll only have myself to blame if he doesn’t want me anymore.”

Stephanie had no inkling of what she was trying to say. But still, she replied, “Just let bygones be bygones. People have to look toward the future. Besides, you’re now back, aren’t you? You’re the only woman my brother loves, so he’ll never bear to have you suffer any grievance.”

After hearing that, Cassie heaved a loud sigh.

Then, she lowered her head to conceal the resentment and aggrieve teeming in her eyes. Despite her true emotions, her voice sounded extremely melancholic and pitiful. “I’ll be honest with you, Steph. Your brother seems to have fallen in love with Amelia Winters. He’s increasingly concerned about her now, and conversely, not as concerned about me as he did in the past. I’m afraid that I’ll be caught in an awkward situation after she has given birth, and there’s a child linking him to her.”

Pausing for a moment, she then continued in a choked voice, “Anyhow, I asked for it. I was the one who destroyed our relationship back then. Frankly speaking, I should tactfully remove myself from the equation now that he has fallen in love with another woman. But I love him! I can’t bring myself to just leave like that. However, what does that matter? My child is gone, so I really don’t know how I can win him back. Steph, I’m afraid that I won’t have the privilege to be your sister-in-law anymore.”

At this, an array of expressions flitted across Stephanie’s face. Finally, she countered, “That’s impossible, Cassie. Anyone with eyes can see that Oscar loves you.”
