Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 251 In A State Of Emotional Collapse

When Oscar returned home and saw Amelia in that condition, his face darkened. He quickly walked toward her, wishing to hold her hand but not daring to do so for fear of hurting her.

Suppressing his anger, he questioned in a deep voice, “What happened to your hand?”

Amelia lifted her uninjured right hand and touched his cheek, saying, “Oscar, calm down. I fell on my left hand accidentally. My bone is fractured, but the doctor said I’d recover in three months. Don’t worry about it.”

Despite her words of consolation, Oscar still looked grim. He stared at her bandaged left hand without saying a word.

His expression deterred her from explaining the situation, even though she had already thought of an excuse earlier.

“How did you get hurt? Tell me the truth,” he demanded with a stern face.

Amelia lowered her head in response.

Oscar stretched out his arm and forcefully lifted her chin. “How did you get hurt? Huh?”

As Amelia looked into his eyes, her lips twitched, but she still could not muster a coherent response.

“Amelia, don’t lie to me.”

At his plea, she yielded and confessed in the end as though she had made a mistake. “I was distracted when I was walking down the stairs, and I accidentally missed a step. Then, I ended up like this. Oscar, I’m sorry. I really didn’t mean to hurt myself.”

Oscar sighed as a hint of distress flashed across his eyes.

Carefully wrapping his arms around her, he asked, “Does it hurt a lot?”

Amelia stretched out her right arm and wrapped it around his waist before she said softly, “It won’t hurt if you’re here, but your expression frightened me.”

At that, Oscar let out a sigh. Amelia was his weak spot. If she gave in, his attitude would soften as well.

He clearly knew that she was not telling the truth about the incident. However, looking at the pitiful look on her face, he could not bring himself to berate her.

“Did the doctor say anything about your hand?” he asked.

Leaning against his chest, Amelia shook her head. “The doctor said that my bone is fractured, and it’s not very serious. Tiff was just too anxious that she asked someone to bandage my hand like this, which made my injury look much more grievous. It actually doesn’t hurt that much.”

Oscar secretly let out a sigh. He knew that Amelia was lying, but he could not bear to expose her. She’s racking her brain to make up an excuse in order to make me feel better. How could I pressure her?

In spite of the thoughts running in his mind, he stroked her hair and said, “You’re so clumsy, constantly hurting yourself. I’ll send two other bodyguards to protect you. Otherwise, I’ll be worried.”

Amelia quickly shook her head. “No, Oscar. I spend most of my time at home, so it’s a waste of manpower to have them follow me. Moreover, I would feel uneasy with them around me, so forget it.”

“Don’t make me worry, hmm?”

“The bodyguards around you are all outstanding men. Aren’t you afraid that they might attract my attention if you assign them to be around me?” she asked teasingly.

Oscar fell silent.
