Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 159 Unlucky

Jennifer came to a stop.

His voice had grown hoarse from exhaustion. “Please, Jennifer. Just leave, will you? I don’t want to see

you now.”

Jennifer’s heart sank as her hands balled into fists. She had done so much for this man, but he

wouldn’t even look at her.

The blazing pain, like a sharp knife in her gut, brought tears to her eyes.

She looked up and forced back the tears.

“Carter, I know you don’t love me. However, you’re the first man I’ve ever loved. No matter what, I won’t

give up. Your brain is muddled because you’re in pain. I won’t take your words to heart,” she declared.

“I’ll go get the doctor now. If the doctor says you’re fine, I’ll leave at once. I think we both need some

time alone.”

With that, she left his ward.

Shortly after, she returned with two doctors and a nurse hot on her heels. The doctors examined him

and gave him an injection to relieve his pain. “Mr. Scott, you can’t be this agitated as you’ve just gone

under surgery.”

Carter’s energy was drained, so he said nothing.

Jennifer was worried. “Dr. Ludwig, is he all right?”

Dr. Ludwig replied, “Mr. Scott is strong enough to recover soon. However, if he gets agitated frequently,

it might slow down his recovery.”

Jennifer exhaled in relief.

After Dr. Ludwig and the rest left, Jennifer asked, “How do you feel now, Carter?”

In response, Carter shut his eyes.

Sighing, Jennifer continued, “Carter, I’m begging you here. Even if you hate me, shouldn’t you say

something out of courtesy?”

At her words, Carter’s eyes snapped open. Gazing at Jennifer icily, he stated, “Jennifer, I’m exhausted.

Can you please leave?”

A woman with her pride still intact would’ve left long ago. Alas, Jennifer’s pride was long gone.

She bit back her misery and answered, “I’ll leave when Mrs. Scott arrives. You’re still weak, so I’ll stay

with you.”

Carter shook his head. “You should go. I’ll be fine. If anything happens, I’ll just summon the nurse.”

Jennifer had to bite her lip in order to not cry.

“I apologize for my reckless action earlier. But Amelia isn’t the one for you. She doesn’t even love you.

Besides, she’s married and about to give birth to her baby soon. Are you that shameless to come

between them? Why can’t you give up? Your perfect match might be waiting for you by your side,” she

said.

Weariness shone in Carter’s gaze. He felt terribly pressured by Jennifer’s persistence and feelings.

“Jennifer, it’s not going to work. I’m grateful for your concern, but my heart belongs to another woman.

Even if she’s married and pregnant, I still love her. One day, she’ll be mine,” came Carter’s reply.

With her lips pursed, Jennifer clenched her fists as a vein popped up on her neck.

“Carter, this is too much. How could you be this cruel?” There were both displeasure and reluctance in

her voice.

“Jennifer, I’ve been clear from the very start.” Carter was tired of saying the same thing repeatedly.

“There is nothing between us. It doesn’t make sense for you to accuse me of being cruel to you.”

As Jennifer’s face contorted angrily, she demanded, “Carter, are you saying I’m latching myself onto

you shamelessly?”

Carter acknowledged her point of view by remaining silent.

Quivering with anger, Jennifer pointed at him and huffed, “Damn you! You just won’t stop insulting

me, huh?”

In response, Carter closed his eyes.

Pacing around in annoyance, Jennifer spoke again. “Carter, what do you want? What did I do wrong for

you to treat me this way?”

Carter’s head was buzzing by then. He massaged his temples and requested, “Jennifer, can you

please shut up?”

Jennifer let out a sarcastic laugh and picked up a doll on the sofa before flinging it at the wall to create

noise.

Carter shut his eyes again.

As she didn’t receive any response, fury vibrated through her being. She proceeded to grab everything

in sight and hurl them everywhere.

When Faye came into the ward, the messy sight greeted her eyes. Immediately, she thought a robber

had ransacked the ward. However, upon further inspection, Carter was lying on the bed as though he

was asleep while Jennifer was heaving angrily.

Utterly puzzled, she asked, “What happened? What’s with the mess?”

The blazing anger in Jennifer’s gaze faded away when she spotted Faye. For a moment, she was at a

loss for words. After all, Faye could be her future mother-in-law. If she finds out I flew into a fit of rage

even before we start dating, she will reconsider her decision of agreeing to let me marry Carter.

Jennifer took a deep breath and put up a calm front.

“Mrs. Scott, why are you here? Didn’t I ask you to rest at home?” She forced out a smile.

“I was worried about Carter,” said Faye. “I came as I had nothing else to do at home.”

Jennifer helped her to the sofa. “Mrs. Scott, have a seat. I’ll clean up the clutter.”
