Chapter 330 You Can’t Call the Police
Jared had thought Amber needed his help. Much to his surprise, she paid him back the money for the congee.
Was she so afraid of owing him any favor? The congee only cost a few bucks, but she still wired the money to him.
Jared felt exhausted. He rubbed his temples and put away the phone.
He didn’t accept the transaction and faked not seeing it. After twenty-four hours, the money would automatically returned to the original account.
“Mr. Farrell, next, you will…” Ben said behind him.
Jared raised his hand to interrupt him, “Cancel the unimportant appointments, and delay the important ones.”
Knowing why he said so, Ben closed the schedule book. “I see, Mr. Farrell. Will you go to the hospital now?”
Jared hummed and said, “Get the car ready.”
“Okay, Mr. Farrell.” Ben pushed up his glasses.
When they arrived at the hospital, it was already dark and drizzling.
Ben parked the car. Jared opened the door, pulled out an umbrella, and got down. “You can go home now. Come here to pick me up tomorrow morning.”
He decided to stay in the hospital overnight again.
Ben nodded slightly. “I got it, Mr. Farrell.”
Jared opened the umbrella and walked to the inpatient building.
When he arrived at Amber’s ward, a nurse doing the rounds happened to come out. Seeing Jared, she slightly bowed and greeted him, “Hello, Mr. Farrell.”
Jared nodded in response. “Is she sleeping?” he asked.
The nurse knew whom he was asking. She shook her head and answered, “Ms. Reed is still awake. She was on the drip of antibiotics earlier.”
“I see. Please go back to your work.” Jared waved his hand.
The nurse bid him farewell and left.
Jared stood at the door and knocked on the door of the ward.
Amber was reading a report. Hearing the knocks, she didn’t raise her head and answered, “Come in, please.”
Upon hearing her voice, Jared twisted the doorknob, pushed the door open, and entered, “What are you reading?”
Amber was taken aback. Then she raised her head. Instead of answering him, she asked, “Why are you here?”
Jared could tell that he wasn’t welcomed here from her tone. His eyes darkened. He put the umbrella into the umbrella holder and answered, “As I said earlier, I would come here to check on you in the evening.”
Amber frowned.
She recalled that he had said it before leaving the hospital earlier.
However, she ignored him at that time.
Amber lowered her head and continued to read the report. “Really? Now you’ve checked on me. You can leave now,” she said to send him away.
Jared pressed his thin lips. “Amber, can you stop being so harsh to me?”
She had already returned to the woman who was cold, harsh, and ironic to him when they had just divorced.
“Harsh?” Amber smiled. She dumped the report in her hands suddenly.
The report dropped on the floor along the bed edge, and she ignored it. She looked at Jared icily, “What do you expect me to treat you? Should I be gentle to you? Or should I be kind to you? How ridiculous! You cheated on Makenna with me during your engagement with her and hid it from me until today. Why should I treat you kindly? If you want to be treated friendly, go ahead find another woman. There are plenty of women who are willing to be gentle to you.”
She felt sickened and regretful when she thought about that night three months ago. She regretted she had got drunk and flirted with a man.
She didn’t mind doing it, but she was way too unlucky. She hit on Jared, and the latter laid her to cheat on his fiancée.
Back then, Amber ruined the engagement ceremony of Jared and Makenna, so they didn’t hold it and had to postpone it to the New Year, but they were engaged officially. They were a couple-to-be.
However, she had sex with Jared shortly after they were engaged. She had become the third wheel between Jared and Makenna.
Amber hated the third wheel the most. However, she had never expected to be the one after she got drunk… Well, she actually became the third wheel twice.
Once was six years ago when she hadn’t known Jared and Makenna were in a relationship. After Makenna had a car accident, she got married to Jared.
The second time was in that night three months ago.
Jared had made both times happen. When she proposed to him to get married, he didn’t tell her anything about his relationship with Makenna and didn’t refuse it.
The second time, he knew she had been drunk and didn’t aim to hit on him. However, he didn’t push her away. Instead, he took her into the room.
Amber admitted that she was guilty, but Jared was guiltier.
She glanced at him ironically.
Looking at the disgust in her eyes, Jared lowered his head and knew it was indeed his fault. He also felt frustrated and regretful.
He wondered if he should have been more rational in the night three months ago.
Then she wouldn’t be pregnant or poisoned. Their relationship, which had become better, wouldn’t worsen so much like now.
Seeing that Jared was silent, Amber felt bored and curled her lips. She picked up her phone and played with it.
The ward became pretty quiet. Only the medical equipment beeped.
A moment later, Jared strode up, bent over, and picked up the test on the ground.
Reading the report, he narrowed his eyes. “Toxin analysis report? Is this analysis report about the poison in your body?”
Amber glanced at him and acquiesced.
Jared pinched the report tightly. “Don’t read this kind of thing. Your mood will become negative. I’ve already looked into the man who has done it. There should be a result soon.”
“Not necessary. I’ve already known who has done it,” Amber said indifferently while swiping her phone screen.
Jared was taken back. “Have you? When did you know it?”
Amber ignored him.
Jared knew she didn’t want to tell him purposely. Frowning, he asked, “Who has done it? Cole Lyon, Hayden Cohen, or Jeremy Lynch?”
When he uttered a name, he paid attention to her expression change.
When talking about Cole and Hayden, he didn’t see any changes. When he mentioned Jeremy, her eyes twinkled.
Although she looked normal again, Jared captured it. He squinted and asked in a deep tone, “Jeremy Lynch, isn’t it?”
Amber’s body stiffened. She tightened her grip on the phone.
She realized that Jared had figured it out.
Jared clenched his fists tightly. “Amber, that’s your nice little brother!”
Amber bit her lower lip. “Right. Jeremy has done it, but…”
Before she finished speaking, she saw him pull out his phone and enter the emergency phone number.
Amber hurriedly yelled at him, “What are you doing, Jared Farrell?”
“I’m calling the police.” Jared looked at her with a stern look. “I won’t let go the person who has poisoned you.”
Besides, Jeremy directly killed his baby.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
As Amber heard his answer, her expression changed. She tolerated the sharp pang in her lower abdomen and sat up. “Don’t call the police! Jared Farrell, I don’t allow you to call the police!”
She grabbed his arm, looking quite determined.
Jared pinched his phone tightly. “Amber, do you know what you are doing? You are shielding a criminal!”
Amber sneered. “Don’t sound as if you’ve never shielded a criminal! What Makenna has done is much eviler than what Jeremy has. You kept shielding her again and again. Now you are blaming me. Don’t you feel it’s too ridiculous?”
Jared was rendered speechless.
Everything she said was true.
Even he did those things not out of his own will, it wouldn’t change the fact that he was the one who had done it.
