Hypnotizing Love

Chapter 73 Came Clean

Jared frown. She deleted his number?

Amber was about to hang up after receiving no response, when she heard a man's voice on the other

end said, "It's me."

Amber's pen-fiddling hand froze in mid-air, and she stared at the number on the screen and recognized

it now!

Despite the fact that she deleted all of his contacts after their divorce, she still remembered his phone

number.

"Is there anything I can assist you with, Mr. Farrell?" She said, taking a deep breath.

Jared's face clouded as he heard her cold tone when she realized it was him. She was gentle just now,

when she thought he was a stranger!

"I call to apologize," he said, concealing his irritation.

"Apologize?" Amber said as she tossed the pen on the table and leaned back. "Mr. Farrell, what did

you apologize for?"

"I'm sorry my mother troubled you," Jared apologized.

"Oh, for your mother," Amber sneered. "You’ve already apologized for your fiancé and your mother, so I

assume you'll have to apologize on behalf of your brother next, huh?"

"There won't be another," Jared said coldly.

"Don't be too sure about that; I know how troublesome the Farrells can be, particularly your mother."

Amber couldn't help but roll her eyes when she mentioned Shonna, "Mr. Farrell, there's a question I've

been meaning to ask for a long time, mind if I ask now?"

"Go ahead," Jared replied as he adjusted his earpiece.

"Are you related to your mother biologically?" Amber inquired, one hand supporting her chin.

Shonna was a shrew, and no matter how exquisite she looked, her demeanor was shrewish.

It was difficult to believe that someone like her could have given birth to someone like Jared.

"Why did you ask?" Jared said, a little puzzled.

Amber shrugged and said, "Just out of curiosity."

As he turned the sterling wheel, Jared said, "Yes, we are biologically related."

Amber groaned with despair, thinking that it may be a hereditary abnormality.

"All right then, I have no more questions," she said, "But please keep your mother under control; I don't

want to see her barking like a mad dog in front of my door ever again."

Barking like a mad dog? "Mind your language, Amber," Jared said, slightly irritated.

"What's wrong with my language?" Amber burst out laughing. "Perhaps you should reflect on how you

and your family had treated me during our six-year marriage. What gives you the right to demand

respect from me. Who do you think you are?" She hung up as soon as she finished speaking.

The beep in his earphones indicated that the call had been terminated.

"How you and your family treated me during our six-year marriage," Jared rubbed his forehead as

Amber's words resonated in his ears.

He felt a huge weight on his heart as he remembered how they had treated Amber previously.

While thinking about all of this, he arrived at the hospital. Before stepping in, he parked the car and

lingered inside for a while.

Makenna was watching TV in the VIP ward, while Mrs. Gardner was peeling an apple beside the bed.

When she heard someone knocking on the door, she glanced up and said with a smile, "Makenna,

guess who's here?"

Makenna turned to the door and was surprised when she saw Jared, "Jared..." her eyes welled up and

she ran towards him.

"Why are you crying?" Jared said as he hugged her and stroked her hair.

"I miss you," she said, her head leaning on his chest.

"I'm here now, am I?" Jared said, his glint softening.

Mrs. Gardner put the apple away and rose, smiling. "Jared can keep you company now while I go find

out when Makenna may be discharged," she said.

"All right," Jared said with a nod.

He then placed his hand on Makenna's forehead and breathed a sigh of relief as he realized she was

no longer having a fever.

"Do you feel better?" Jared inquired as he drew his hand back.

"I'm still dizzy," Makenna replied, a frown on her face.

"Rest a little longer," Jared said as he slid the cushion into place and motioned for her to lie down.

"I'm done resting; all I need now is you at my side," she said, shaking her head.

Jared didn't say no; instead, he took a seat by the bed while Makenna clutched his arm and put her

head on his shoulder.

"Jared, your mother came to see me this morning and hurried over to Ms. Reed after I told her she may

be related to my kidnapping; I couldn't stop her."

"I know," said Jared.

"You knew? Did she do anything to Ms. Reed?" Makenna asked, looking at Jared's profile.

Jared looked down. His mother had been arrested before she could harm Amber. Amber, on the other

hand, kept herself from being harmed.

Thinking about that, Jared smiled and without realizing that his eyes were gleaming with softness .

Realizing why he smiled, Makenna tightened her fists. She was alarmed, but still pretended to be

curious as she said, "Why are you smiling, Jared?"

'Look at his bright smile when Amber is mentioned! Oh shit, I need to get rid of Amber as quickly as

possible; if thing continues this way, Jared will fall for her. I can see he likes her, even if he doesn't

recognize it.' Makenna pondered.

Hearing Makenna's query regarding his grin, Jared's eyes clouded and he returned to his normal self.

"Nothing, I just thought of something funny." Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

"Ah, I see." Makenna forced a grin on her face while being depressed on the inside.

Mrs. Gardner walked in and said, "Makenna, the doctor says you may go home tomorrow."

"That's fantastic; I'm tired of being in the hospital; I've been here for six years and finally get to go

home," Makenna exclaimed cheerfully as Jared caressed her hair.

"Did you manage to find out the fox mask man?" Mrs. Gardner asked Jared.

When Makenna heard "fox mask man", her smiley face stiffened. "Jared..." she sobbed.

"Don't be scared..." Jared said as he drew her into his arms and softly stroked her back.

Looking at Makenna's response, Mrs. Gardner immediately regretted mentioning that name. "I'm sorry,

sweetheart, I didn't mean to..."

"I'm alright, mom," Makenna answered, her eyes welling up with tears. "I deserved it all; if I hadn't

injured Ms. Reed because of my insecurities, she wouldn't have plotted this kidnapping; it's all on me."

"Nonsense. Amber is such a vice woman," Mrs. Gardner cried too, "We compensated her already, but

she still plotted the kidnapping. She is vengeful!"

Makenna wailed with her head down, as if she too, couldn't comprehend why Amber had done such a

thing to her.

"Please understand that this kidnapping has nothing to do with Amber; it is utterly the kidnapper's own

idea," Jared frowned at the two.

"Are you defending Amber, Jared?" Mrs. Gardner was taken aback and looked at him with

bewilderment.
