Love You Enough to Leave You - Season 3 Episode 7

In the ward, the trio continued talking despite Cassie’s hasty exit. Cassie took the elevator and arrived at the hospital’s garden. She was wandering listlessly. Just as she was about to return, she noticed a tall figure.

As she approached the figure, she said, “Mr. Scott? Are you not feeling well?”

She had run a thorough background check on Amelia and the people surrounding her. So she was familiar with Carter.

Carter was quietly watching the passerby when she greeted him. His forehead creased when he discovered it was Cassie. He didn’t want to speak to her. NôvelDrama.Org content.

Cassie ignored the distaste in his eyes. “May I sit here?” She then sat down without waiting for an answer.

Carter rose from his seat, prepared to leave. Then, Cassie spoke, “Mr. Scott, don’t you want to know how is Amelia faring recently?”

Carter set his foot back onto the ground.

He looked down at Cassie and inquired directly, “What are you trying to say?”

Cassie patted the seat beside her and suggested, “Why don’t you take a seat if you have some time to spare, Mr. Scott? Although we don’t love the same person, our motives are the same. Save me the nonsense of I’ll be happy if she’s happy. Assuming that you love her, why are you not fighting for her? If you could stand to watch her in another man’s arms, that means you don’t love her enough. Your feelings for her are superficial. If what you felt for her is true love, you will want her to stay by your side and not simply watch her be happy.”

Carter frowned at the change in Cassie. She used to be innocent and as if anything nor anyone could affect her. But all she had now was merely a facade of the old her.

Cassie ignored Carter’s scrutinizing gaze and merely stared blankly ahead. “Mr. Scott, why don’t you sit and have a chat with me? Unless you’re afraid that I would harm you?”

At her words, Carter had no choice but to comply.

Cassie glanced at him and said, “Thanks.”

Carter was surprised by her attitude.

“What happened to you?” Carter didn’t pay any attention to Cassie. Hence, he was unaware of what happened to her despite being in the same hospital.

Cassie sneered, “I can’t believe Mr. Scott cares about me. I thought you only have eyes for Amelia.”

Carter simply pursed his lips in response.

Cassie’s eyes were glossy with tears all of a sudden. She buried her head in her hands and started sobbing.

Carter wanted to say something but kept silent in the end. He merely sat there in silence, allowing passersby to whisper and point at him for being uncaring towards his crying girlfriend.

Cassie kept on crying, but Carter didn’t comfort her at all, so she finally stopped.

She glared at Carter and choked, “Carter, are you even a man? Even if I’m not the person you love, you could’ve at least comforted me.”

Carter crossed his arms. “Firstly, Ms. Yard, we’re not close friends. Secondly, I have mysophobia, so I don’t like to have any bodily contact with others. Lastly, you were crying without mentioning anything.

Guys will think you’re acting unreasonably.”

Cassie scoffed, “Aren’t you a loyal one, Mr. Scott? You declared that you love Amelia, yet you’re not aware of her near-death experience from a car accident a while back.”

Carter’s eyes widened in shock. He grasped Cassie’s shirt and interrogated, “What did you say? When did Amelia get into an accident? How is she now?”

Cassie laughed viciously. Her eyes were taunting him.

“Didn’t you say you love her? And yet you’re unaware of her being in a dangerous accident? The doctors had even issued a medical crisis notice, saying she could only live at most three days. And yet you, the man who declared to love her, didn’t know about it. How would Amelia feel if she knew about this? Poor thing.”

Carter was anxious to learn about the accident. He knew very well that Cassie wouldn’t divulge any more information, so he hurriedly left.

Cassie continued to taunt, “You say you love her deeply yet didn’t know about her accident. What a joke!”

Tears started streaming down her cheeks as she taunted.

Oscar used to say he loved me too, but he wasn’t there with me when I was in danger. His love for me was superficial that he couldn’t overcome such a minor obstacle.

I wanted to lie to myself that Oscar did love me deeply. But the difference in his attitude towards Amelia and me indicated his love for me had ended five years ago.

Nevertheless, I still love him. And I will get him back no matter what. Maybe it is no longer love, but a competition between two women.

After Carter left, he wanted to call Amelia but realized he didn’t bring his phone with him when he came down. He frantically stopped a passerby. “Miss, could you lend me your phone?”

The passerby was irritated at being stopped, but the moment she saw Carter’s face, her anger vanished, and she swiftly dug out her phone from her bag.

Carter took her phone, forgetting to say thank you.

He instantly dialed Amelia’s number, but Tiffany was the one who picked up.

“Tiffany, it’s me. I heard Amelia got into a car accident. How is she? What about the baby? Which hospital is she in right now? Answer me quickly.”

Carter was so nervous that his palms were sweating while Tiffany merely asked, “Who are you?”

It made sense that Tiffany couldn’t remember Carter because she had a lot on her plate at that moment. Also, he hadn’t contacted Amelia in a while.

Carter assumed Tiffany was blaming him for not being by Amelia’s side when Amelia got into the accident, so she pretended not to know him.

He inhaled a deep breath to calm himself.

“Tiffany, I’m Carter. How’s Amelia? Which hospital is she at right now?”

“Oh! It’s you, the jinx.” Tiffany recalled. “Sorry about not recognizing your voice. Where are you calling from?”

Carter was a bundle of nerves, but he had to explain patiently. “Tiffany, could you put that aside and tell me which hospital Amelia is in?”

“She’s at the Principal General Hospital. Didn’t you know?”

“Her ward number?”

Tiffany told him Amelia’s ward number.

Carter immediately hung up.

“Thank you, miss.” After returning the phone to the passerby, he ran the fastest he ever had back to the hospital and took the elevator up.

He dashed to Amelia’s ward when the elevator had reached his floor.

However, he was rooted in place outside of Amelia’s ward.

He hesitated for quite a while before a man’s voice pulled him from his stupor.

“Carter, what are you doing here?”

Carter turned around to see Oscar. He awkwardly coughed and replied, “I heard Amelia got into a car accident, so I came to visit her.”

Oscar opened the door and gestured for him to enter. “Come in.”

Carter followed behind Oscar. Seeing Amelia lying on the bed, he couldn’t believe his eyes. He hadn’t seen her for a whole month.

He had thought about calling Amelia when he was recovering in the hospital but lost his courage as he recalled how he had behaved back then.

He was afraid that Amelia wouldn’t pick up his call. Also, Jennifer was following him everywhere.

He now had a fear of Jennifer. She persistently stayed by his side and even swallowed her pride, despite his bad treatment. All he could do was avoid her.

Carter stared at Amelia blankly, hoping to make up for all his lost time.

Although she was thinner and more haggard now, she was still beautiful in his eyes.

Amelia was embarrassed by his intense gaze and shifted her gaze. “Carter, you’re here. Come and have a seat. Don’t just stand there.”

Carter was rooted in place, transfixed by Amelia as though his soul had left his body.

Tiffany scoffed, “Your eyeballs will fall off if you continue to stare. But before that could happen, I think someone will pluck your eyes out first.” The person Tiffany was insinuating was none other than Oscar, whose eyes were burning with rage

Carter was broken out of his thought and coughed awkwardly. “Sorry.”

Amelia glanced at Tiffany. “Carter, please don’t mind Tiff’s words. She’s a straightforward person, but she means well.”
