Chapter 245 She’s the Antidote
After that, the pain immediately subsided.
Jared lowered his head slightly to hide the fierce in his eyes.
Sure enough, the case just now would not be the last one. After this, he knew that he had to coax Makenna when she was in a bad mood, or satisfy her when she wanted something. If he didn’t do that, he would be punished and have symptoms of heart attack. What was the difference between him and a puppet!
“Jared, thank you. You’re so kind.” Makenna didn’t notice Jared’s strange expression and said with a wry smile.
Now that Jared had changed back to his original attitude before the car accident, they should be reconciled.
Jared lowered his eyelids and suppressed his desire to destroy everything. He did not reply.
At this time, the manager who had just left came back with a doctor.
“Ladies and gentlemen, let the doctor have a look at your injuries.” The manager hurriedly said to Amber, Jared and the other two, but he was secretly complaining inward.
What was going on? The man with crutches almost died, and now the chandelier suddenly fell down and it happened to be the one above the man.
No way! Could it be that the man with crutches was a jinx?
“Doctor, please have a look at my sis first.” Jeremy quickly pulled the doctor to Amber.
Suddenly, Makenna rolled her eyes and said, “Miss Reed, could you wait for a while?”
“What do you mean? You want to see the doctor first?” Jeremy’s face stiffened and he looked at her gloomily.
Jared also frowned with a trace of disgust in his eyes.
Ever since he knew that he didn’t love Makenna but he had to treat her well and stand on her side or otherwise he would be punished, he bore a contempt against her.
“Yes. Miss Reed only has her arm hurt, but my face was wounded, so…”
“Bullshit!” For the first time, Jeremy couldn’t help bellowing, “Your face is hurt. So what? Is your injury as serious as Amber’s?”
Jeremy pointed at Amber’s bleeding arm. He was so furious that he wanted to strangle Makenna.
Makenna bit her lip. “Even if Miss Reed’s injury is more serious than mine, my wound can’t wait. There would be a scar left in my face if the treatment is delayed. Miss Reed’s arm can be hidden in the sleeve even if it is scarred. Miss Reed, you are so kind. You wouldn’t want to see my face left with a scar, right?”
“No, I’m very vicious. I hope that your face will be scarred, not only scarred, but also fester!” She said coldly.
Makenna was in disbelief. “Miss Reed, you…”
“That’s it!” Jared had heard enough and scolded with a grim face, “Treat Amber.”
“Jared…”
“Check on Amber first!” Jared stared at Makenna and repeated.
No one knew how much pain he was enduring at the moment. It was like his heart was about to explode. The voice in his mind kept urging him to snatch the doctor over to look at Makenna first. Amber should be ignored. She should suffer the pain and heartbreak.
But why? Why should he follow the voice and let Amber suffer?
At worst, the mysterious power controlling him could kill him directly, and in that way perhaps he would be free.
That’s right. At this moment, Jared completely understood that there was a mysterious force manipulating him into loving Makenna and treating her well.
Perhaps, he had never loved Makenna. The love he used to think he had was just an illusion caused by that power, which made him feel that he loved Makenna.
Moreover, he didn’t think that he would fall in love with Makenna. Whom he loved was his lively and cheerful pen pal, Maple Leaf. Makenna had completely different personalities from Maple Leaf. It was impossible for one to change completely just because she had been a vegetable for six years. So the only explanation was that Makenna was probably not Maple Leaf.
However, he had never discovered such a questionable point before. Was this normal? He was pretty sure that this wasn’t normal.
It was that power. That power was deceiving him, deliberately preventing him from discovering that Makenna was not Maple Leaf.
He didn’t know why the power was protecting Makenna, but it didn’t matter. If the power wanted to control him, he would fight against the power to the end.
“Humph…” Jared groaned in pain. The next second, he suddenly couldn’t stand still and knelt on one knee, his face full of pain.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked again.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
What was going on?
“Why is he like what he was just now?”
Amber pursed her red lips in confusion.
He seemed to be in great pain. Was he suffering from an acute illness that she didn’t know?
“Jared.” Makenna wanted to help him up.
Jared directly pushed her hand away.
Therefore, he had only one hand to hold the table and could no longer keep balance. He fell to the ground, just in the direction of Amber.
When Amber saw him falling, she subconsciously stretched out her uninjured hand to help him.
To his surprise, the moment Jared touched her, the pain in his heart eased.
Jared looked up at Amber in shock.
He was absolutely sure that when Amber touched him, he did not feel so much pain.
So she… might be the key to him getting rid of that mysterious power, or she might be… the antidote!
Thinking of this, Jared was overjoyed.
He raised his hand and grabbed Amber’s hand tightly, as if he wanted to integrate her hand into his palm.
And when he did this, the pain in his heart was relieved again, and it was getting weaker and weaker, till at last he almost could not feel it.
“Let’s go!” Seeing Jared clutching her hand and looking at her fanatically, Amber felt strange and didn’t understand what he was thinking.
Jared grabbed her hand as if he didn’t hear her.
Jeremy’s face darkened and Makenna’s face twisted.
The manager and the doctor felt that this scene was even more inexplicable.
Among the four, who and who were a couple?
Their entangled relationships were such a confusion!
For a moment, the atmosphere was very strange and quiet.
It was not until the doctor put down the scissors that the strange atmosphere was broken. “Well, it’s done. Don’t let the wound touch water within 24 hours, and change the dressing in time, and then there will not be a scar left.”
“Okay, I see. Thank you, doctor.” Amber smiled at the doctor to show that she had remembered it. Then she looked at Jared with dissatisfaction and said, “Let go of me. How long do you want to grab me?”
“Let go of my sister!” Jeremy stepped forward and separated Jared’s and Amber’s hands.
Jared had thought that his heart would hurt again after they were separated.
To his surprise, nothing happened.
It seemed that as long as the pain was relieved after he touched Amber, it would no longer come back even after he was separated from her.
“Jared…” Makenna’s soft voice arose again.
Jared stood up with his hand on the table. He said with a cold face. “Doctor, please take a look at her.”
“Okay.” The doctor nodded.
Makenna continued, “Jared, I’m afraid of pain. Can you hug me?”
A hint of mockery flashed across Jared’s eyes.
Amber’s wound was so big, but she didn’t cry out in pain. It was so dramatic of Makenna to cry out when she had only a minor injury.
“Ok.” Jared lowered his eyelids and agreed.
He knew that if he didn’t agree, his heart might hurt again. Although Amber was there and he could relieve the pain immediately,
If he did that on purpose, it would obviously anger Amber. She didn’t know that he did it to relieve the pain, but would only think that he was deliberately taking advantage of her. The loss would outweigh the gain. He should think of a way to get in touch with Amber to resist that mysterious power.
