Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 178 More Serious Than He Thinks

Gary looked over to Oscar’s unconscious body lying on the bed. “I suppose he’s in love with Amelia as well?” he asked with a sigh.

Tiffany thought for a while, then answered slowly, “That’s what I want to find out too, actually. After Amelia’s accident, Oscar watched over her day and night. I suppose that shows he has some heart, at least. I’ve always seen Oscar as a firm, unshakeable man of iron. You can imagine my surprise when he fainted just now. I think he does love Amelia, but who can tell with these rich men? All I can hope for now is for Amelia to recover consciousness in time. She still has her baby to take care of.”

Gary looked steadily at Tiffany.

After a moment’s pause, he repeated, “Her baby?”

A faint smile hovered on Tiffany’s lips. “The doctors delivered Amelia’s baby last night. It’s a healthy baby boy weighing approximately seven and a half pounds. His little face was red with crying, and he was yelling at the top of his lungs. The nurse said she’d never seen such a healthy child come out of an accident like that. Maybe Amelia was using her own life to protect his. I’m sure that when Amelia wakes up to see her baby doing so well, she’ll definitely be overjoyed.”

Gary raised his hand. It hung in the air for a while before uncertainly patting Tiffany on her back. “Don’t worry. Amelia will pull through this. I’ve heard stories of how a mother’s love can overcome even the most insurmountable obstacles. I’m sure Amelia knows that her baby is waiting for her. She’ll come back to us.”

Tiffany nodded. The glimmer of worry in her eyes remained, however.

The door of the hospital room was soon pushed open. Olivia entered with Owen by her side, supporting her. Tiffany immediately rushed forward to help.

“Mrs. Clinton, how are you feeling?” she inquired anxiously.

Olivia managed a smile. “I’m much better. I heard from the doctor that Oscar fainted. How is he? Is he all right?”

“Don’t worry, Mrs. Clinton. The doctor said it happened he overworked himself. The shock of Amelia’s condition worsening triggered emotional agitation within him. He’ll be fine with some rest,” Tiffany hastily reassured Olivia.

Olivia nodded weakly. She made her way to Oscar’s bedside and tenderly caressed his face. However, the sight of her son lying unmoving in bed reduced her to tears.

Tiffany looked on helplessly. Forcing herself to speak calmly, she soothed, “Mrs. Clinton, please don’t cry. The doctor said Oscar’s fine. Besides, he’s as strong as an ox. He’ll wake up soon.”

At the thought of people seeing her like this, Olivia quickly wiped away her tears. She then said slightly bashfully, “I’m all right. I guess I’ve been feeling slightly melancholic lately. I’m sorry to have alarmed you.”

Owen embraced his wife. “Olivia, don’t be like this. Amelia is still in the intensive care unit, and Oscar’s now unconscious. They need us to take care of them now. We can’t collapse ourselves,” he said firmly.

Olivia leaned against Owen’s chest, drawing consolation from his steady strength. However, she couldn’t help but choke out a sob. “Within the span of two days, Amelia got into an accident and Oscar fainted. What’s happening to our family? I feel as if the sky is falling down on us.”

The man patted his wife on the back as one would a child. “Don’t overthink things. Amelia will be fine. Our grandson still needs his mother and grandmother. You have to be strong for him too.”
