The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

“What would you like to eat after you get discharged? I’ll have them prepare it for you,” Oscar suddenly said as he reached out to touch her forehead. “If I’d known that you’d be so good to me once you knew I was pregnant, I’d have told you a long time ago,” said Amelia, though there was no telling whether she genuinely felt that way. Oscar said indifferently, “Stop thinking too much. Your only job now is to rest well.” Amelia stared at him for a long time. Suddenly, she flung her arms wide open and said, “Hold me, Mr. Clinton. For a split second during the accident this morning, I thought I saw the Grim Reaper calling for me.

My mind was completely blank at that time and when the car crashed onto the pillar, all I could think of was that I may not ever see you again in this lifetime.” A hint of surprise flashed across Oscar’s eyes. He continued listening to Amelia, his heart aching uncontrollably. “Mr. Clinton, forgive me for being too sappy. At that very moment of the car accident, all I could think of was that we are actually a legally wedded couple, but look at us now? We are like complete strangers.

Now that I have finally woken up, I feel completely different. So, if you are thinking what I’m thinking, I’d like to stay with you like a regular couple. We can be a simple yet happy family of three when the baby comes.” Oscar’s heart skipped a beat. “Mr. Clinton, when I am discharged, can we just live in peace like a normal family?” Amelia looked at him expectantly. Oscar’s eyes betrayed his tangled emotions before they slowly regained calmness. Retracting his hand, he said, “You are still in a daze after the accident. Rest well and don’t think too much.” A frosty chill invaded Amelia’s heart instantly. 

At the end of the day, to him, I am still Cassie’s replacement. I am completely dispensable. He doesn’t have an ounce of true feelings for me. Amelia concealed her emotions and smiled sweetly. “Mr. Clinton, I’m a little tired and I’d like to get some rest. Go on with your day if you are busy. The nurses can take care of me here.” Oscar tucked her in and said, “Just close your eyes and sleep. I’ll stay here with you.” With conflicted emotions, Amelia closed her eyes. She thought she would not be able to sleep, but she was knocked out within ten seconds. Tiffany only found out about Amelia’s car accident when she called her later that night. Instantly, she ignored her editors’ incessant calls and rushed to the hospital. Without even knocking,

Tiffany pushed the door open and cried out loud, “What happened to you, Amelia? How did you get into a car accident? What did the doctor say? Are you all right?” It was only then that she realized the large group of people in the room. They were either from the Clinton family or their business associates. Tiffany’s face began to burn. She chuckled nervously at her blunder before saying, “Oh, so everyone’s here.” Olivia, being the first to spot her, welcomed her quite heartily. “Oh, so it’s you, Tiffany. Come over here. We were so worried when Amelia got into the accident we forgot to inform you.

a car accident? What did the doctor say? Are you all right? What about the baby?” Amelia recounted the accident briefly and comforted her by saying, “Tiff, I’m fine, so don’t worry about me.” Seeing that Amelia was not severely wounded, Tiffany finally relaxed and teased her, “We are really sisters

give birth under their supervision.” “What’s Oscar take on this?” Amelia shook her head. “I can’t read his thoughts. We have been married for four years, but I’ve barely been able to understand what really goes through his mind. He says I can have the child, but it looks like he wants the child to remain with the Clintons. Even if we were to get a divorce, he wouldn’t allow me to

allowed to bring the child with her. “Amelia, would you be willing to let the child stay with the Clintons?” “It’s not like I have a choice here, do I? This accident has messed up all of my plans, so I am panicking too. The only thing I can do now

don’t want to involve her in my marriage unless it’s absolutely necessary.” “Babe, are you out of your mind? How could you

silence. Tiffany added, “Look, Amelia, I don’t want to sound like some naggy old lady who mutters about the divorce and the child all day long. It’s just that you are an intelligent woman, and I think you should start planning for yourself. You can’t keep doing things for others and have nothing left for yourself. I can’t even bear to look at your situation even though you are doing this willingly.” Amelia reached out for the apples on the table and changed the topic. “Tiff, you must be parched after talking so much. Peel this apple for me and let’s share it.” Tiffany knew very well that Amelia was just trying to escape from reality. Hence, she obediently picked up the apple before peeling and slicing it. With a piece of apple in her mouth, she asked, “Babe,

still don’t have the perfect plan yet, so I can only handle things as they come.” Tiffany munched on the apple leisurely before changing the topic. “I spouted all those nonsense only because I was too worried about you. The most important thing now is for you to regain your health. We can talk about the rest later.” Amelia
