Chapter 125 Visit Him In The Hospital

“I’m still not his girlfriend for now, but I will be soon.” Jennifer regained her confidence swiftly. “You don’t

even like Carter. Stop giving him hope before leaving without looking back.”

Amelia found her words funny. She had never given Carter any hope. Previously, she might’ve

overstepped the boundaries by asking Carter to recommend her a job, but he was the only person she

knew who wasn’t afraid of Oscar’s influence. She only ended up contacting him after thorough

deliberation. Indeed, she had the thought of manipulating Carter, but that was about it.

They had been separated for five years. No matter how deep their love was back then, it would’ve faded

away with time. After all, time and tide wait for no man. Their feelings couldn’t stand the test of time.

When Amelia reached out to Carter, she thought Carter no longer loved her. Besides, the man had never

confessed his feelings to her. She had no idea he still loved her dearly after all these years.

If she knew, she wouldn’t have contacted him in the first place.

Sometimes, it would be better to keep one’s feelings to oneself. Making things clear would only cause

awkwardness on both sides.

It was practically impossible to revive her feelings in the past.

“Ms. Larson, you must’ve gotten it wrong. I wasn’t the one who dumped him,” explained Amelia. “Yes, I

loved him back then, but he was the one who took off. I don’t know whether he loved me back then.

Perhaps he realized his feelings for me after his departure. I’m not trying to defend myself. I just think

that you shouldn’t hold a grudge over this if you are to be his future girlfriend or wife.”

Jennifer stared at her without a word.

Taking the spoon, Amelia started stirring her coffee again. Aside from the initial sip she took, her coffee

remained untouched.

“Ms. Larson, if that was what you wanted to say, I don’t think it was necessary. Carter and I are friends,

nothing else. If he doesn’t want to be friends anymore, I can stop contacting him. But if he thinks of me

as a friend, I will still keep in touch with him.” Standing up, Amelia took her bag. “The coffee’s on me, Ms.

Larson. I need to prepare lunch for my husband. Please excuse me.”

Suddenly, Jennifer grabbed Amelia’s hand, causing the latter to freeze in astonishment.

She immediately retorted angrily, “Ms. Larson, what are you doing?”

Jennifer swallowed nervously and choked out, “Amelia, please come with me and visit Carter in hospital.”

Amelia was taken aback by her sudden request.

After removing her shades, bitterness flitted across Jennifer’s gaze. “Amelia, sit down. Others might think

I’m trying to bully you,” she uttered.

Amelia sat down obediently and studied the woman sitting across from her carefully.

At once, Jennifer wore her shades again to hide the emotions in her eyes. “Amelia, I’m not trying to be

your friend. I’m doing this for Carter’s sake. I despise you, so there’s no way I’ll let you appear in his sight

if possible. I have no other choice as I love him.” She sighed. “Back then, I used to enjoy being adored

by other men. If I’m in a good mood, I’ll flash a smile. Otherwise, I’ll just ignore them. After meeting

Carter, who is the bane of my life, I kept caving in. Others might think I’m intimidating, but my pride is

crushed into dust whenever I’m with him. This time, I came to ask for your help because of him, too.”

Amelia remained unfazed.

Those who fell in love first were destined to be on the losing side. They would sacrifice willingly, without

asking for anything in return. They would allow their pride to be crushed into dust, no matter how proud

they used to be.

Unrequited love was the worst of all. Those who had a secret crush could only sacrifice for their loved

ones silently and end up being disappointed.

“We’re not that close, Ms. Larson,” said Amelia as she stirred her coffee. “I don’t care whether you love

Carter. I’m also not interested in your love story.”

Jennifer folded her arms arrogantly. Even though she was asking for Amelia’s help, she still acted like

she was above everyone else.

“Amelia, you’ve got it wrong. I’m not boasting about my love story. I just want you to know how generous

I am,” she uttered haughtily.

Suddenly, Amelia let out a chuckle.

Jennifer puts on a pompous front because she doesn’t want anyone to see the fragile side of her. That is

why she acts like she’s above everyone else.

Well, I don’t hate her that much now.

Still, Amelia knew she and Jennifer were from different worlds. Jennifer’s arrogance proved they would

never be friends. Not even acquaintances.

Fuming, Jennifer demanded, “Why are you laughing?”

Putting her spoon down, Amelia answered, “Ms. Larson, you strike me as adorable.”

Jennifer became increasingly upset. “Who are you calling adorable?”

“You’re the only Larson I know in this cafe,” Amelia joked.

Jennifer whipped her shades off and glared at Amelia. “Stop calling me adorable. That’s disgusting. Only

childish young girls would pretend to be adorable to attract men’s attention. I’m a mature young lady.

There’s no way I’m adorable.”

Amelia shook her finger in disapproval. “You’re wrong, Ms. Larson. Look at your features. You’re indeed

adorable. If you show your weak side to men, they will throw themselves at you.”

Jennifer scrunched her face up in fury.

“Are you teasing me, Amelia?”

Yeah. Finally, you get that. Amelia thought in her heart.

However, she feigned innocence. “Did I?”

With her hands folded across her chest, Amelia declared, “Stop wasting my time. Just tell me if you’re

willing to visit Carter with me or not.”

Amelia shook her head. “I won’t. Send him my wishes. I hope he will rest well and stop working too long

hours.”

Jennifer studied her and pressed on, “Why won’t you visit him?”

“Do you seriously want me to visit him?”

Jennifer shook her head honestly. “If possible, I wish you can disappear from his life.”

“Then why are you pretending to be generous? The Scotts don’t welcome me. My husband doesn’t want

me to keep in touch with him, too. We’re just friends, but it’s best to keep our distance,” replied Amelia.

Silence ensued.

After a long while, Jennifer inquired, “You said you will stay in touch with him, right?”

Amelia inclined her head in response.

“Why won’t you visit him, then?”

“Ms. Larson, you don’t seem like a long-winded person to me.”

“I love Carter. I just want a clear answer from you.”

“You’re putting the cart before the horse. My answer isn’t important. What’s important is how Carter

treats you. If he doesn’t love you, you won’t end up with him even without me around.”

Immediately, Jennifer’s face contorted with anger as she insisted, “He will fall in love with me.”

It was as though she was telling that to herself.

Amelia’s lips curved into a grin. “Congratulations in advance, then. I’ll make sure to prepare a wedding

gift for you.”

Fury vibrated through Jennifer’s being as she uttered icily, “Amelia, whether or not Carter and I get

married is none of your business.”

Shrugging, Amelia stood up and said, “Well, I have to go.”

Immediately, Jennifer softened. “Amelia, you should really visit Carter.”

At her words, Amelia’s brows knitted together. “Ms. Larson,” she said sternly. “Be honest with me. Did

something happen to Carter?”

Jennifer was someone who regarded herself as superior to others. There was no way she would lower

herself from her pedestal to beg for Amelia’s help if Carter’s condition wasn’t serious. At first, she

demanded Amelia to cut off ties with Carter before asking her to visit Carter at the hospital. Her words

were too contradicting. Hence, Amelia wondered if Carter’s condition was much worse.

Without warning, Jennifer’s eyes turned red.

A flash of anxiety appeared in Amelia’s gaze as she urged, “Ms. Larson, what exactly happened to

Carter?”

“Carter was sent to the hospital because he had gastric perforation. No one was sure why he suddenly

had a fever. He had been unconscious for a few days., but according to the doctor, he was fine. He kept

muttering your name and asked you not to leave even though he was in a deep slumber,” Jennifer

revealed sadly. “I wouldn’t have come to you if he hadn’t done that. I can’t just sit and watch him become

a vegetable!”

Amelia was stunned into silence. Never in her wildest dream did she expect Carter would be

unconscious.

“Which hospital is he in?” A few minutes later, Amelia found her voice again.

Jennifer wiped her tears away and hurriedly put on her shades in embarrassment. “Principal General

Hospital.”

Huh? Amelia fell silent. I have no idea Principal General Hospital is this popular. Both Cassie and Carter

have been admitted to this same hospital. Oscar is there with his beloved, while my ex-boyfriend is in the

same hospital. If Oscar runs into me there, I’ll have to explain things to him.

My relationship with Oscar is already rocky. I originally wanted to cook for him to ease things up, but

there’s always something coming between us. We’re getting further apart each day.

Amelia didn’t know whether she should cry or laugh by now.
