 Too Much to Bear, My Love Chapter 121 I Cannot Promise Now

Cassie grabbed Elizabeth’s hand and pleaded, “Mom, I really love Oscar. I planned this just because I wanted him to spend more time by my side. Isn’t it great now? He is putting aside his work to accompany me.”

At that moment, Elizabeth was heartbroken. “Do you know how much damage abortion can do to a woman? This might cause you unable to have children again.”

Cassie was stunned. “Mom, what are you saying?”

Looking at Cassie’s ignorance, Elizabeth became even more furious. “What am I saying? I am saying you might not be able to get pregnant anymore. It’s all your own doing, so shame on you.”

Although Elizabeth’s words sounded offensive, it was still because she could not accept this cruel reality about her daughter.

Learning that fact, Cassie was bewildered. Her hands could not stop trembling as she held on to her mother. “Mom, is that true? Are you lying to me?”

Seeing her like this, Elizabeth’s heart softened. “I am your mother. Why would I lie to you? You’ve made a terrible mistake.If you’d discussed it with me, you wouldn’t have caused this mess. But don’t worry too much. The doctor only said that it will be difficult to get pregnant, but that doesn’t mean there will be no chance at all. I will find the best doctor for you.

”

Cassie’s face seemed to turn even paler. “Mom, I want to have a child with Oscar.”

Elizabeth uttered with annoyance, “Well, what goes around comes around. You should have expected it the moment you made this plan. Do you know that you might even lose your own life? You should be smart enough to know this! How I wish I don’t have a daughter like you.”

Cassie grabbed Elizabeth’s hand and whimpered, “Mom, I was wrong. I only wanted Oscar to marry me because I believe he still loves me. He told me that it was just a marriage of convenience between him and Amelia. He promised to marry me once I’m back.”

Right then, Elizabeth recalled what Cassie said just now. “Earlier, you said that you never slept with Oscar. What did you mean by that?”

Cassie’s expression turned a little awkward.

“Mom, there’s no need to ask about this anymore. You just need to remember that the child wasn’t his.”

Unable to hear the truth from Cassie, Elizabeth added angrily. “Honestly speaking, I don’t want to meddle in your business anymore either.”

“Mom, please don’t. I’m your daughter. If you don’t care about me, who else is willing to do so? Would you like your daughter to lose everything after suffering for so much?”

“Well, you deserve it.”

“B-But… I am still your daughter.”

Elizabeth was left speechless at that.

Just then, a knock on the door interrupted the quarrel between the two. Elizabeth went to open the door. It was their housemaid who had brought the food.

“Mrs. Yard, this is the meal I have prepared. Mr. Yard is still discussing work with the shareholders at the office. He asked me to inform you that he will only come later.”

Elizabeth nodded and said, “I see. You can leave now. Thanks.”

“Alright, Mrs. Yard.”

The next second after the housemaid left, Cassie reminded Elizabeth. “Mom, can you call Oscar? It’s late already, so he must be hungry.”

Elizabeth rolled her eyes at Cassie. “Could you at least take care of yourself first? Since the child wasn’t Oscar’s, stop being so obsessed with him. He is, after all, the president of Clinton Corporations and has a lot of work. You should be grateful since he already took a day off to be with you. If you get too clingy, he will definitely be irritated.”

Cassie was a little unconvinced. “Mom, I thought you’re on my side.”

“Even if I am on your side, I can’t blame others indiscriminately. I’d have a reason to put the blame all on Oscar if the child was his. But now that I know that this was all but a lie, why should I?”

Upon that, Cassie turned to her mother meekly and pouted. “But Mom, I am your only daughter. Are you really that willing to see me suffer?”

“Of course not, but what can I do? Your child is gone, and Oscar is not willing to divorce his wife. You should give up on him as soon as possible, then find a man who loves you and get married,” Elizabeth answered.

“Never.” Despite all those words from Elizabeth, Cassie’s stubbornness did not seem to fade at all. “Mom, there are many men who want me, but I only love Oscar. No matter what, he is the only man I will be marrying. If you don’t allow it, then that’s fine; I’ll just be an old lonely hag.”

Hearing that, Elizabeth became furious. “You-”

Just as she was trying to reprimand her daughter, there was another knock on the door.

Unable to suppress her emotions, she shouted, “Who is it?”

“It’s me.” It was Oscar’s voice.

As soon as Cassie heard that, she became nervous and snapped back at her mother, “Mom, why are you so rude?”

Elizabeth was so furious that she almost choked with anger. After all, she did not mean to overreact towards Oscar.

She gave Cassie a reluctant stare and petulantly spoke, “Come in then. The door’s not locked.”

Whereas Cassie immediately leaned on the pillow, pretending to be weak. “Oz, you’re back. Let’s have dinner. You must be hungry.”

Oscar came in and sat over at the side of the hospital bed.

Then, Cassie opened the lunchbox and chirped enthusiastically, “Oz, I specially asked Mom to get the maid to prepare your favorite meals. The food is still warm. I hope it suits your appetite.”

Seeing that Cassie was once again clinging onto Oscar, Elizabeth’s anger was mixed with embarrassment. The daughter that she loved so dearly was but a speck of dirt in front of that man.

Elizabeth cleared her throat and interrupted the two. “Oscar, what would you like to eat? Let me get it for you.”

At that second, Oscar was keenly aware of the change in Elizabeth’s attitude towards him. Although he was not sure what was going on, he was glad to see it.
