Love You Enough to Leave You - Season 2 Episode 81

Oscar turned around and glared coldly at Cassie who was standing by the window. “Are you really going to jump?”

Cassie had a crazed look in her eyes as she said, “I’ll jump if you walk out of this ward, Oscar!”

Oscar frowned, exuding a menacing air of power and authority. “You should know how much I hate being threatened, Cassie.”

Cassie’s attitude softened up instantly. “I just want you to stay here with me, Oz. Back then, you’d always forgive me no matter what I did wrong.”

The look in Oscar’s eyes was as cold as ice as he turned around and began walking towards the door without saying anything.

Cassie climbed onto the windowsill and shouted at the top of his lungs, “Oz! I’ll jump right here and now if you dare walk out that door!”

Oscar stopped in his tracks.

“All I want is for you to stay here with me, Oz. Is that too much to ask? You would never treat me like this back then!” Cassie began crying as she said that.

Oscar still had his back towards her.

Suddenly, Cassie held a hand towards her chest and began panting rapidly. “Oz… I… I can’t breathe…”

Oscar turned around and assumed that she was putting up an act when he saw what she did. “Cassie, will you stop this nonsense?”

It wasn’t until Cassie began swaying back and forth on the windowsill that he realized the seriousness of the situation and rushed towards her, but she lost her balance and fell out the window.

Oscar leaped forward and managed to grab hold of her hand just in time. Cassie looked up at him in terror and screamed, “Help me, Oz! I don’t want to die!”

“Hold on tight! I’ll pull you up!” Oscar shouted as he used all his might to maintain his grip on her.

“I don’t want to die, Oz! I really don’t want to die! Pull me back up, quickly!” Cassie screamed while holding on to his arm for dear life.

Oscar began pulling her up with every ounce of strength he had in him, but his grip loosened a little when she was almost at the window. “Ahhh! Save me, Oz! I don’t want to die!” Cassie screamed in sheer terror.

All that was left in Oscar’s eyes were an icy coldness when he saw how pathetic she looked at that moment. How on earth did I even fall for a liar and pretender like her in the first place?

“Stop squirming!” he shouted coldly.

“Pull me back up, Oz! I don’t want to die just yet!”

Veins were visibly bulging from Oscar’s arms as he strained his muscles pulling her up.

“Funny how a suicidal person is afraid to die!” he said sarcastically, but Cassie was so scared that she couldn’t care less about his insult.

The look in Oscar’s eyes changed when he saw her desperately climbing up his arm with all of her might. Heh… She sure as hell doesn’t look like she’s suffering from chest pains and difficulty in breathing…

Eventually, Cassie was able to make her way through the window and let out a huge sigh of relief at being rescued.

“Looks like your chest isn’t hurting anymore, huh?” Oscar asked with his arms folded as he shot her a condescending glare.

That was when Cassie realized he had seen through her act and panicked as she looked up at him.

“No, listen to me, Oz. It’s not what you think…”

She struggled to stand up, but her legs were still weak due to the shock from earlier.

“You seem to be fine, so I’ll be leaving now,” Oscar said.

Cassie quickly wrapped her arms around his leg and begged, “Don’t do this, Oz! I really didn’t mean for that to happen! I just wanted you to stay here with me…”

Oscar bent over and pried her arms off him as he said, “I think we both need some time to ourselves, Cassie.”

Cassie got up and stood in his path with her arms outstretched, her lips pale and her breathing ragged.

“Will you please stop this nonsense, Cassie?” Oscar asked while staring coldly at her, but Cassie kept quiet and continued panting heavily.

At that moment, his phone started ringing, and Olivia’s panicked voice came on the line the moment he answered it, “Oscar, come quick! Amelia isn’t doing so well and has been sent into the operating room

again!”

A look of panic flashed past Oscar’s eyes, and he ran right past Cassie. She reached out and tried to grab hold of him, but collapsed before she could even touch him.

Elizabeth and Charlie realized something was wrong when they saw her collapse and rushed into the ward. “Doctor! Doctor!” Elizabeth shouted at the top of her lungs.

Charlie carried Cassie onto the bed, and a few doctors came running over shortly after.

“Damn you, Oscar! I’ll kill you if anything happens to my daughter!” Elizabeth cursed under her breath while Charlie had a disturbed frown on his face.

Oscar rushed over to where Olivia was as quickly as he could.

“Mom, how’s Amelia doing?”

“I don’t know… She just started convulsing violently all over, so the doctors took her into the operating room… I’m really scared that she’ll…” Olivia mumbled anxiously.

She didn’t finish her sentence, but it didn’t take a genius to figure out what she meant to say. She was afraid that Amelia wouldn’t make it out of the operating room alive.

“Don’t worry, Mom. I’m sure Amelia will be fine,” Oscar said calmly.

Olivia could only cross her fingers and pray as they waited outside the operating room in silence.

The silence was suddenly broken by the ringing of Oscar’s phone, and everyone looked towards him as he answered the call.

“Where are you, James?”

“Hey, Oz, I just got off the plane. Which hospital are you at right now?”

“I’m at Principal General Hospital. Amelia is in the operating room at the moment, so hurry on over!”

“I’m on my way!”

It took James about an hour to arrive at the hospital. “I was conducting a research with a medical institution in Koandria and was supposed to participate in two of their surgeries, but I canceled them both after getting your call. You owe me big time for this, Oz,” he said after giving Oscar a customary hug.

Oscar pointed at the operating room door and said, “Amelia is still in there, so hurry up and head on inside!”

“Relax, I brought my mentor over. He’s an expert in the field, so Amelia will be fine!” James replied casually.

Olivia stepped forward and asked anxiously, “Where’s that mentor of yours, James?”

James’ eyes lit up when he saw Olivia who looked like she hadn’t aged a day. “Mrs. Clinton, you’re still as young and beautiful as ever! I’ve missed you so much!”

He then gave her a kiss on each cheek, much to her surprise.

“And I see you’re still as sweet as ever, James. I bet you won a lot of women over with that move, huh?”

James chuckled in response, and the two of them had a brief exchange before he met up with the foreigners that Robert had personally brought over.

Robert sounded quite excited as he introduced them, “Professor Schweitzberg here is a famous surgeon from Anglandur. With him conducting the surgery for Amelia, she’ll have an 80% chance of recovery!”

Oscar’s eyes lit up with hope when he heard that, and he held out his hand as he said, “Long time no see, Professor. How have you been?”

James’ mentor who happened to speak Chanaean shook his hand as he replied, “I’ve been doing fine, Oscar. I happened to be on vacation in Koandria when James told me your wife was involved in a car accident, so I came over with him.”

“We’re counting on you, Professor. I have full faith in your medical skills, and I believe you’ll be able to rescue my wife,” Oscar said.

“Don’t worry, I’ll give it my best.”

James and Professor Schweitzberg then changed into their medical attire and entered the operating room.

Robert tapped Oscar on the shoulder and asked, “Oscar, why didn’t you contact Professor Schweitzberg if you knew him? We could’ve saved a lot of time if you did!”

“He’s really obsessed with researching medicine and is often hunting for herbs in the woods, so it’s really hard to reach him due to the poor reception. I didn’t know he’d be with James,” Oscar replied.

Robert had heard rumors of Professor Schweitzberg’s obsession with medicine as well. That man is practically an elite in the field of medicine, but he’s also known to be quite eccentric. He would literally refuse to save someone’s life if he so much as disliked them, so it’s a miracle that he came all the way to Chanaea just to save Amelia…

“Looks like you really do owe your friend a huge favor, Oscar.”

Oscar nodded in response.

Olivia was still somewhat worried. “Robert, is Professor Schweitzberg really as good as you say? How likely is Amelia going to survive this surgery? Do you think he’ll be able to get rid of that blood clot in her brain?”

Of course, Robert didn’t dare promise her anything. “Nothing is guaranteed, Olivia. All I know is that Amelia has an 80% chance of recovery with him performing the surgery. I can’t say much about her blood clot as it is too close to a lot of her nerves, so we’ll just have to wait and hope for the best. My knowledge of Professor Schweitzberg is limited to what is available in the media, so I can’t really comment on his medical skills as I’ve never actually worked with him.”

Olivia went silent upon hearing that, and Owen could only pat her gently on the back as he tried to comfort her.

Suddenly, a nurse came running over anxiously. “Mr. Lancester, there’s been a car accident! We’ve just received dozens of wounded, and we’re short on doctors at the moment!”

“What? Where are the doctors?” Robert asked.

“Dr. Freeman has headed over to take care of Ms. Yard with a few other doctors, and the others have surgeries of their own to perform.”

Robert frowned and shouted angrily, “What the hell is wrong with Cassie Yard? She’s been causing us tons of problems ever since her admission!”

The nurse took a step back in response to his sudden outburst.

“Olivia, Owen, please excuse me while I take care of this…” Robert muttered through clenched teeth as he tried to suppress his anger.

“Sure, go ahead.” Olivia waited till Robert had left with the nurse before turning towards Oscar. “How is Cassie? You went to see her earlier, right? What’s she up to this time?”

The look in Oscar’s eyes darkened as he said coldly, “Forget about her, Mom.”
