Chapter 331 The Selfish Idea of Amber
Taking a deep breath, Jared calmed down first and looked at Amber, “I admit what I did was wrong in the past, and I will make up for those in the future. But you should understand that these are two different matters. Jeremy poisoned you and caused the child deformed, which has constituted the crime of intentional murder and must be reported to the police!”
“It is no big deal. I was going to have an abortion anyway. Anyway, I can’t let you to send Jere to jail!” Amber looked at him firmly.
Jared frowned in disbelief, “What did you say? No big deal? Amber, that’s your child!”
As a mother, is it right to say that?
She knew it was inappropriate, but it didn’t matter, she didn’t care what Jared thought.
She let go of his arm and said coldly, “So it’s my child, and? It shouldn’t have come to this world and it was a mistake. Besides, it’s just an embryo, not even a person yet. So how can it compare to Jere in my heart?”
Even though she said so, she felt a series of tingling pain in her heart.
At this moment, she realized that in fact, she cared about the child.
But Jared didn’t know what Amber was thinking, he took a step back and looked at her like a stranger, “Okay, even if you don’t care about that child, I do, because that’s my child too. So, as a father, can’t I seek justice for my child?”
Amber sneered, “Justice? Didn’t you know that I was pregnant long ago? You were not like that at that time. You didn’t care if I got rid of this child or not, and you would even be happy if I did. You wouldn’t admit this child anyway. Now you came here to show your fatherly love, don’t you think it’s too late and too hypocritical?”
Jared’s throat was dry, “Is that how you think of me?”
“It’s not that I see you that way, but that’s what you did.” Amber looked at him sarcastically.
Jared felt a dull pain in his heart and wanted to say that it wasn’t like that, but he couldn’t spit it out when the words came to his mouth.
Maybe, he was really what she thought, so he couldn’t tell.
Jared was silent for a long time before he spoke in a low voice, “Do you really want to forgive him?”
Amber lowered her eyelids, “Yes.”
“You don’t care even though the fact that he poisoned you?” He asked again.
Amber squeezed her palm, “Yes, I believe Jere will change, and I am willing to give him a chance.”
Everyone is selfish.
Compared with an unexpected child, she cared about Jere more, and for that, she can’t let Jared send him to prison.
“Giving him a chance? Are you not afraid that he will treat you like this again?” Jared stared at Amber.
Her eyes flashed, and she pursed her pale lips, “I trust him. I’m sure he only did it this time because he was ill.”
She didn’t plan to tell him what was wrong with Jere in detail.
After all, this is Jere’s privacy.
And Jared didn’t care to know, so he lowered his head and smiled mockingly, “He’s ill… If what I did to you before was also because I was ill, would you forgive me as you forgive him so easily?”
Amber frowned, “What are you talking about? Are you ill?”
Jared let out a low sigh, “Sure enough, you don’t believe me.”
The reason why he didn’t tell her that he was hypnotized was that he didn’t want to take advantage of her soft heart.
The most important reason was that he knew that she would not believe what he said. She would only think that what he said was just an excuse for what he had done before.
Amber felt his disappointment, her lips moved, and she was about to say something.
Jared put on his usual cool look, stared at her, and asked, “Amber, I’ll ask you one more time, are you sure you want to let him go. Won’t you regret it?”
“Yes. No regrets!” Amber nodded without hesitation.
Jared closed his eyes, and when he opened them, his eyes were filled with indifferent emotions, “I see. Have a good rest, and I’ll come back tomorrow.”
He had planned to spend the night here tonight, but at that moment, he needed to calm down.
Amber looked at his back and shouted in a hurry, “Jared.”
He stopped but didn’t look back, “What’s the matter?”
“Are you going to let Jere go?” Amber grabbed the quilt and asked.
Jared permitted himself a wry smile.
He thought that maybe she changed her mind when she stopped him.
It seemed like he flattered himself.
“Even if I want to investigate, you will issue a letter of understanding at the end, so that the police will not continue their work, right?” Jared looked at her slightly.
Amber lowered her eyes, “Yes, I will.”
“So, what’s the point of me calling the police?” Jared turned his head back, and his voice was much colder, “Amber, this is the first and last time, you’d better pray that Jeremy won’t be caught by me again, otherwise he must pay the price.”
After speaking, he walked out of the ward.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Amber looked at the closed door, and after a few seconds, she sighed.
She looked at the toxin analysis report thrown on the ground by Jared with a bewildered look.
The report had been crumpled into paper balls, showing his anger at that time.
Amber rubbed her temples, “Is it really the right thing for me to protect Jere like this?”
By tomorrow, she must persuade him to get treatment.
Maybe after Jere’s psychological problems are cured, she can be sure whether her behavior today is appropriate or not.
On the other side, after Jared walked out of the inpatient department, he took out his phone and called Ben, “Come and pick me up at the hospital.”
Ben was having a barbecue with his friends at the night market. He just opened a bottle of beer, and before he had time to drink it, he heard his words, and his originally bright mood suddenly became gloomy.
“But Mr. Farrell, aren’t you going to spend the night in the hospital?” Ben asked with a smirk in his heart and a smile on his face.
Jared walked to a bench in the garden and sat down, “Change of plan. Come here now.”
“Okay.” Ben nodded.
The next second, after hanging up the phone, his expression changed, and he stood up angrily, “Okay, tonight’s barbecue feast can’t go on.”
“What’s wrong?” His friend asked while eating mutton skewers.
Ben picked up his coat and put it on, ”My capricious boss suddenly asked me to pick him up. He must have been snubbed by the girl he likes. Alright, I got to go and we’ll meet again next time.”
With a sigh, Ben walked towards the car on the side of the road.
Half an hour later, Ben arrived.
After Jared got into the car, Ben turned around to look at Jared and asked, “Mr. Farrell, are you and Miss Reed…”
“Just drive,” Jared ordered with a dark face.
Ben knew that he could not get the answer. He shrugged, turned his head back, and started the car.
Jared put his arm on the car door and held his fist on his cheek. He was shrouded in shadows and his expression couldn’t be seen clearly.
This time, he let Jeremy go because he didn’t want to make Amber sad and make her hate him even more.
But this time, he won’t forget what he did. He would send some people to keep watching him. As long as he got something on him, he would get even with him adding this time together.
He admitted that he was not a qualified father, but the decision of whether or not to keep the child should be decided by him and Amber, not by an outsider.
While thinking about it, his phone rang.
Jared took a look at it and answered, “What’s the matter?”
“Jared, where are you, come back now. Trenton came to the house, shouting to get justice.” Logan’s loud voice rumbled through the phone.
