Too Much to Bear, My Love - Season 2 Episode 10

“It’s hard to say. Let’s wait for the doctor’s diagnosis first.”

Amelia glanced at Oscar dubiously. She was surprised that he could be so calm upon hearing about Cassie’s accident. Is he pretending to be calm on purpose, or is he just cold-hearted by nature? If it’s the latter, then he’s one hell of a heartless man.

Based on how much she knew about him, she would rather he was pretending to be strong on purpose.

Although Amelia did not like seeing him sad because of another woman, if a man could be indifferent toward something major happening to the woman he loved, then such a man would be absolutely terrifying.

“Aren’t you worried, Mr. Clinton?” Amelia probed him.

Oscar pulled her into his arms. “Don’t fret about it. If I act too worried, won’t you get jealous?”

Amelia’s suppressed emotions only got stronger.

“Mr. Clinton, the fact that you’re so calm about this is freaking me out.”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m not sure how to put it, but I think your reaction isn’t quite right.”

“Do you think I’m being too cold?”

Amelia nodded frankly.

Oscar could not decide whether he should laugh or cry. “Ah, Women… I swear, I can never understand your train of thought. If I worry too much, you’ll say I’m overly worried about other women. If I’m calm, you’ll say I’m being cold-hearted.”

The strange feeling in Amelia’s heart had yet to dissipate.

“Mr. Clinton, I’m just…”

Oscar placed his hand over her mouth. “Alright, that’s enough. Don’t say anything that would make me mad.”

Amelia leaned into his embrace. She no longer bothered to guess how Oscar really felt toward Cassie.

The two sat quietly on the bench. Time slowly ticked away, and in the blink of an eye, the operation had gone on for three hours.

Amelia stared at the red light outside the operating room and frowned. Then, she struck up a conversation with Oscar. “Mr. Clinton, I think you should tell the Yard family about this. Otherwise, if anything happens to Ms. Yard, I’m afraid you won’t be able to explain to them.”

Oscar considered it and nodded in agreement. “I’ll get my chauffeur to take you home first. You’re with child, and it’s way past lunchtime. You going hungry won’t be doing any good for the baby’s development.”

After hanging up, Amelia glanced back at the hospital with a grim expression before driving away.

Shortly after Amelia left, the Yard family arrived at the hospital.

Elizabeth launched herself onto Oscar, wailing. “Oscar, what’s going on here? Cassie’s been doing well all this time, hasn’t she? How did she end up like this?”

Oscar merely let the older woman had her way with him. He waited until she got tired from crying and using him as an emotional punching bag before speaking to them as calmly as he could, “Mrs. Yard, I’m deeply sorry about Cassie, but I really don’t know the details about her accident.”

Elizabeth looked at him in surprise. Perhaps she did not expect such a cruel statement to have come from him, she simply stared at him dazedly while her tears flowed freely.

Oscar extended a hand to support her. “Mrs. Yard, you and your husband should sit down and take a rest first. Cassie’s still in the operating room, and I’m not sure of her condition. If you go on like this, I fear for your health. “

Charlie put his arms around Elizabeth’s shoulders and said, “Dear, please calm down. Cassie knows we’re worried about her. She’ll be fine.”

Elizabeth leaned on Charlie and eventually got a hold of herself.

When she finally composed herself, she turned to Oscar and said calmly, “Oscar, let me ask you. What are your plans for Cassie if she has a miscarriage?”

Oscar skilfully evaded the question. “Mrs. Yard, Cassie’s a lucky person. I’m sure she’ll be fine.”

But Elizabeth was adamant in getting an answer from him. “Oscar, Cassie’s the only daughter we have. She insisted on keeping the child despite our objections. You’ve also promised to divorce your wife and marry her. And since you’ve made your promise, I’ll see to it that it’s fulfilled. “

Oscar merely pursed his lips.

He felt repelled by the idea of getting married to Cassie now that he was being cornered by Cassie’s parents. It doesn’t matter that he actually had the intention of divorcing Amelia and take Cassie as his wife in the beginning.

As a child, he was used to being surrounded by others who worshipped him, and he was accustomed to being the one in charge. He did not like the feeling of being coerced like he was then.

Elizabeth glared at him sharply. “Oscar, be honest with me. You have no intention to marry my daughter at all, am I right?”

Oscar replied solemnly, “Mrs. Yard, Amelia’s also pregnant right now. I can’t possibly abandon her while she’s still pregnant with my child. If I do so, I’m worse than a feral beast. I doubt you’d want a man with no morals as your son-in-law.”

Elizabeth was livid. She raised her hand and gave Oscar a huge slap on the face. “Oscar! If you can’t bear to leave your wife, why must you mess around with Cassie? Amelia may be pregnant, but don’t you forget that the woman in the operating room right now is also having your child! Her life is hanging in the balance, and we don’t even know if the baby will survive. How heartless can you be to say something like that!” she berated.

The impact got Oscar’s head to whiped to the right. His expression turned dark and gloomy.

Charlie patted his wife on the shoulder as a means to console her. He said, “Dear, please calm down. I believe Oscar will provide an explanation.”
