Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 253 Planning On Leaving

“Oscar, Mom isn’t going to be happy with us like this,” Amelia exclaimed after entering the bedroom.

“Mom isn’t such a petty person. All you have to do is take good care of yourself so I don’t have to keep worrying about you. Don’t think I’m not mad about you repeatedly getting yourself injured. I’ll punish you after Dr. Johnston gets your arm bandaged up,” Oscar replied while examining her arm thoroughly.

Amelia broke into a faint smile after hearing that.

I really love this side of him when he is down to earth. It gives me the illusion that he loves me deeply and will treat me well even if I’m old and blind. However, I can’t bring myself to let a man this excellent be stuck with a visually impaired wife as I am unworthy of his love!

Amelia wrapped her uninjured right arm around Oscar’s neck and gave him an affectionate nuzzle on the nose. “Oh dear, I just realized that I’m finding it increasingly difficult to leave you now. What should I do, Oscar? What would you do if I really did leave you someday? Would you miss me when you’re free and bored?”

The look on Oscar’s face turned gloomy instantly. He gave her a light pinch on the cheek as he said, “Do not talk about leaving me ever again, you hear? You’ll be getting more than just a reminder if you do that next time. Is that clear?”

There was a hint of sadness in Amelia’s eyes when she giggled in response, but she hid it so quickly that Oscar didn’t notice anything at all.

After a playful exchange, the two of them heard someone knocking on the door. Oscar went to open the door and saw Dr. Johnston standing there with his medical kit in hand. “Hello, Mr. Clinton,” he greeted Oscar politely.

“Come on in, Dr. Johnston.”

Dr. Johnston nodded and brought his medical kit inside the room.

“Sorry to trouble you at this hour, Dr. Johnston!” Amelia greeted him softly with a smile.

Dr. Johnston shook his head. “It’s only eight in the evening right now, so it isn’t that late. Mr. Lancester told me that your arm is injured. Let me have a look at it.”

“Thank you, Dr. Johnston.”

After taking a moment to examine her injury, Dr. Johnston helped bandage her arm and suggested, “Mr. Clinton, I think her injury is a little severe. I believe she did some rigorous exercise with this arm earlier, so you should get her checked at a hospital or it could lead to long-term effects later on.”

“Is her arm that badly injured?” Oscar asked sternly.

“Don’t worry too much about it, Mr. Clinton. I only suggested getting a thorough examination to play it safe. She should be able to recover in about two to three months,” Dr. Johnston replied calmly.

The look on Oscar’s face only seemed to worsen after hearing that.
