Chapter 328 Jeremy Was Exposed
Amber’s eyes slightly dimmed. “It’s my checkup report. I just felt too uncomfortable to take it out, so I asked you for help. A nurse will check on it later.”
“I see.” Cole nodded, took out the test report, and handed it to her.
“Thanks, Cole.” Amber took it over and put it next to her pillow.
Jeremy looked at the report. He lowered his head, lost in thought.
“By the way, Cole. Can you help me apply for a wheelchair from the equipment department? After I leave the hospital tomorrow, I can’t let others help me all the time. It’ll be more convenient to have a wheelchair,” Amber said with a bitter smile.
Cole never rejected her request, so he agreed, “Sure. I’m going there now. Jeremy, take care of Babe.”
Jeremy answered with a smile.
Cole left the ward.
Amber lifted the quilt and reached her hands to Jeremy. “Jere, please help me up. I want to use the bathroom.”
“I’ll carry you over.” Jeremy reached out, ready to carry her off the bed.
Amber wouldn’t refuse if it happened in the past.
However, now…
She felt indescribably weird thinking that Jared told her the three men all loved her.
“No, thanks,” Amber shook her head to refuse. “My arms and legs aren’t broken yet. You don’t need to carry me. Just help me up.”
“All right.” A trace of pity flashed through Jeremy’s eyes. He took her hand, helped her get off the bed, and walked her to the bathroom door.
“Can you handle everything yourself, Amber? Or, I can ask a nursing worker to help you,” Jeremy said worriedly while looking at her.
Amber smiled. “I’m not that fragile. All right. I’ll go in.”
After that, she withdrew her arm, held the wall, and entered the bathroom. Then she locked the door from the inside.
Jeremy gazed at the locked door for a few seconds. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed. He turned around and walked to the bed. Then he picked up the test report on Amber’s pillow.
He wanted to read the report, wondering why Amber didn’t know she had been poisoned.
After all, the hospital should have tested it.
While Jeremy was browsing through the report, the bathroom door behind him was slowly opened.
Amer stood at the door, gripping the doorknob tightly, and looked at him with a complicated expression.
As if he had felt the gaze, Jeremy’s hands pinching the report stiffened. He turned around and met Amber’s disappointing eyes.
Jeremy panicked. Blood drained from his handsome face. “Amber…”
Amber closed her eyes. She said bitterly, “You know what, Jere. Jared told me there were three suspects who had poisoned me, Hayden, Cole, and you. I could accept that Hayden had done it because I had nothing to do with him. However, I couldn’t accept either you or Cole had done it. Hence, when Jared said so, I thought he was just talking nonsense.”
She paused and looked at the report in his hands. “I’ve believed that he was right. But life’s just full of surprises, isn’t it? The person who poisoned me was truly one of you three. And it turns out to be the man whom I always thought was the purest.”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Jeremy followed her gaze to look at his hands and understood something. His eye pupils shrank slightly. “Amber, were you testing me just now?”
Seeing that he understood so fast, Amber took a deep breath. She held the wall and walked to him. “Right. I purposely asked Cole to take out the report to test you. Earlier, I tested Cole as well. I intentionally told him I had the abortion because I had fallen. If Cole had poisoned me, he would wonder why I didn’t know I had been poisoned. Then I would find his flaws. However, Cole didn’t, so I was confirmed that he hadn’t poisoned me. Then I tested you.”
Looking at Jeremy, she continued, “The words I said to Cole were also for you when you were in the kitchen. However, I couldn’t see your reaction, so I used the report to test you. If you had poisoned me, you would try to figure out if the hospital found that I was poisoned. Hence, I sent Cole away and made an excuse to use the bathroom to give you a chance to read my test report. As long as you read it, you should be the person who poisoned me.”
Jeremy was silent.
A moment later, he put down the test report in his hand and put on a smile. “I thought I had hidden it so well…”
Although Amber had confirmed that Jeremy poisoned her, she still felt upset when hearing him admit it.
Clenching her hands, she looked at him in a complicated expression. “Why did you do it, Jere? You know what? When I saw you pick up the report, it broke my heart. I couldn’t believe my eyes at all. For me, you were always the gentle, kind-hearted, and pure-minded young man. But…”
“But you’ve realized I’m not what you used to think, right?” Jeremy looked at her and interrupted her.
Amber’s lips parted. She admitted it in silence.
Jeremy lowered his head and said in disappointment, “I’m sorry, Amber. I disappointed you.”
Amber looked at his guilty face, feeling frustrated. “Why? Why did you do so?” she asked again.
Jeremy looked up to gaze at her belly. “I did it for your own good, Amber.”
“For my good?” Amber looked confused.
Jeremy nodded. “You always told me you wanted to get rid of the baby. However, it had been three months, but you didn’t take any action, so…”
“So you poisoned me in order to help me?” Amber looked at him in disbelief.
Jeremy pressed his lips. “I don’t think I’ve done something wrong. It had been three months, but you kept it. If it got longer, you would be more reluctant to abort it. Hence, I poisoned you.”
Upon hearing his words, Amber got a heavy blow. With a complicated feeling, she said, “Jere, why did you think so? Whether I would abort the baby or not, it was my own business. It shouldn’t be the reason for you to meddle in. Understand?”
Besides, she had never thought of keeping the baby. She was always determined to abort it.
It was just that she had been too busy recently to take action.
Jeremy clenched his fists tightly. “I don’t understand. I just knew you couldn’t keep the baby. His existence would bring you trouble only.”
He became excited and crazy. “Amber, you should know it’s shameful to be pregnant before getting married. If the public knew it, you would be mocked and disdained. Even your employees in the company would look down upon you. Amber, I did it for your good.”
“Did you do it for my good or for yourself?” Amber frowned and said coldly, feeling Jeremy was ultimately a different person.
Jeremy looked at her weirdly and asked, “What do you mean by that, Amber?”
“I mean, you’re not really worried I will be disdained by others. Instead, you can’t accept I’ve been pregnant with another man’s baby because you have a crush on me. Seeing I hadn’t aborted it, you couldn’t help but poison me so that I had to abort it. Am I right, Jere?” Amber trembled slightly.
Jeremy’s expression changed dramatically. “Amber… How… How did you…”
“How did I know you had a crush on me?” Amber pressed her lips.
