Chapter 71
Chapter 71
This punch landed right in Rodney’s eyes. He was in so much pain that he immediately let go of Amber. Amber was afraid that he would pester him again, so he pushed him hard. Just now, in order to protect Amber, he was pushed hard by Amber. He fell down and bumped into the dining car.
Hearing the sound, Amber was shocked. She looked over and saw Rodney lying on the ground with soup all over his body.
The waiter, who was pushing the dining car, was so scared that his face turned pale. He kept apologizing to help Rodney up.
Amber was also shocked. Rodney’s eyes were black and blue after being beaten by her, and the expression on his face showed that he was really in pain now. She subconsciously reached out to help him, but a scream came from behind. Amber looked back and saw Kelsey’s face full of fear.
Seeing Kelsey, Amber immediately withdrew his hand and strode to the box.
Amber was a little worried when he didn’t see Rodney return until the end of the banquet. He didn’t know what he had fallen to.
After the banquet, Elliot was a little drunk. Amber sent her home and received a call from Noemi on the way. “Amber, I’m sick and I’m in the hospital. It’s so boring. Can you come and accompany me?”
“I’ll be right there.” Amber told the taxi to turn around and go to the hospital.
Noemi’s severe cold caused her heart disease. She hung up the water in the hospital. When Amber arrived, she was hanging up the water while playing with her mobile phone. “You can’t be idle even if you hang up the water.”
“I’m bored. It’s good that you’re here.” Noemi put down her mobile phone and began to chat with Amber. As they talked, they talked about Rodney.
“Rodney can’t change his character of eating shit. He even keeps a lover outside. I don’t know how White Lotus feels when she sees the news.”
Amber smiled. “There are even more exciting things. Rodney’s lover seems to be pregnant.” She told Noemi what had happened tonight.
Noemi laughed and said, “If he really has you, you should treat him like this. If he dares to be unreasonable to you next time, you can break his head!”
Noemi said that she was hungry. Amber went to buy her supper, but she didn’t expect to see Kelsey in the hall of the hospital. Kelsey was stunned when she saw Amber, and then came over with a smile. “Miss. Stone, are you here to see the patient?”
Amber didn’t want to talk to her, so she nodded and left. Kelsey’s voice came from behind. “Rodney is here too. He’s in the senior ward on the eighth floor.”
Amber ignored her and strode away. It was a little strange for her to walk outside. “Kelsey is so funny. What does it have to do with me when Rodney is hospitalized? She even told me the ward number. Does she think that I am here to see him?”
“Wait, why does she think I’m here to see him? Does she know my relationship with him?”
There were very few people in South City who knew about the relationship between her and Rodney. Since Rodney was willing to tell this new friend of his, he knew that this new friend of his was extremely high in his heart.
Feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart, she endured the discomfort and went out to buy snacks for Noemi. After Noemi finished eating, she chatted with her for a while. Mel called her. “Mom, why haven’t you come back yet?”
Noemi smiled. “I almost forgot that I have a little ancestor at home. Well, I’m fine. Go back and accompany my son. Remember to bring me breakfast tomorrow morning.”
Amber agreed with a smile.
The next morning, Amber went to the hospital with the peach gum snow lotus seed soup for Noemi at home. Noemi frowned when she saw the soup. “I thought you would prepare another feast for me.”
“When you recover and eat a big meal, this silver ear soup will be good for your immune system.”
“Well, I’ll endure it. But we have an agreement. When I’m ready, you must treat me to a big meal. I drooled at the thought of your spicy chicken.”
“Is it necessary?” Amber glared at her. “When you recover, I’ll cook for you every day.”
“You can’t go back on your word.”
After chatting with Noemi for a while, Amber got up and left the ward and walked to the hospital hall. A figure came out to stop her.
“Miss. Stone, let’s talk!”
Amber took a closer look and saw that it was Kelsey who stopped her. She frowned and said, “I don’t think we have anything to talk about.”
“I want to talk to you about Rodney!”
“Ms. Farrell, did you take the wrong medicine? I have nothing to do with Rodney. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous for you to talk to me about it?”
“Who said you have nothing to do with each other? You and he have been married for five years. I didn’t expect you to be so cruel!”
Amber’s face suddenly turned cold. “I don’t understand what Ms. Farrell is talking about!”
“Amber, Rodney was sorry for you back then. He shouldn’t have had a child with someone else, but he didn’t want to do that either. He did this for your sake, so that you could have a good future with him. Now he has regretted it. Why are you targeting him?”
“To target him? Did Ms. Farrell see me targeting him?”
“Last night, you had been targeting Rodney. You deliberately got close to Mr. Thomson and deliberately said that you were pregnant. Why did you say that you were pregnant?”
“Ms. Farrell, are you sick? I don’t know you. It’s none of your business whether you are pregnant or not.”
“You have nothing to do with me, but you shouldn’t provoke him like this. You clearly know that you are in his heart, but you still say so. What are you up to?”
Looking at Kelsey’s angry eyes, Amber sneered. “Since an outsider like you can tell that I’m not pregnant, how can there be any thrill? Aren’t you worried about me?”
As soon as she said this, a look of surprise appeared on Kelsey’s face. “Are you really not pregnant?”
Amber ignored the surprise on her face and said with a sullen face, “Ms. Farrell, I’m not familiar with you. Please stay away from me in the future. If you don’t come out to stop me politely like this, please don’t show up in the future, or don’t blame me!”
After saying that, Amber strode out. Kelsey stood where she was and looked at her with a slight sigh. She didn’t turn around and go upstairs until she couldn’t see Amber.
In the VIP ward on the eighth floor, Rodney leaned on the bed to get an infusion. Kelsey pushed the door open and walked to the bedside of the bed. “I just looked for her.”
“Why are you looking for her?” Rodney raised his eyes.
“Ask her about her pregnancy. In fact, she was not pregnant. She lied to you.”
“Really?” A look of pleasant surprise flashed across Rodney’s eyes.
“It’s true. Don’t be sad. I don’t think she has the kind of relationship with Mr. Mr. Thomson as you think.” Kelsey looked at Rodney with a complicated expression. “Since you have her in your heart, why don’t you make it clear to her?”
“It’s hard to say. I hurt her so badly that year. How could she trust me?” Rodney let out a long sigh.
“But I will let her misunderstand you if you do this. Women are very jealous. If she continues to misunderstand, she will hate you more and will lose it. I think we should make it clear to her. This will make her rest assured, and you won’t be so sad.”
“No!” Rodney shook his head. “I have to get rid of Celia first before I can find her.”
At the door of the ward, Rachel, who was about to reach out to push the door open, heard the conversation inside. With a serious look, she let go of the hand holding the handle and turned to the doctor’s office.
Last night, her son didn’t go home. Rachel was anxious. She went around to find out where he was, but she didn’t find him until today. She came to the hospital in a hurry.
But she didn’t expect to hear the conversation between her son and Kelsey at the door. It turned out that her son and Kelsey were just acting. Everything was for that woman.
She knew very well that since her son liked to act, she would help him. Rachel went to the doctor’s office to ask about Rodney’s situation. When she heard that her son was scalded, she felt a little more hatred for Amber after connecting the conversation that she had just heard.
It was time to teach her a lesson!
Amber left the coffee shop. Along the way, his mind was in a mess. One moment, it was Kelsey’s question, and the other time, it was Rodney’s expression of protecting Kelsey.
Although it was not difficult to say it, she still felt distressed when she saw Rodney protecting Kelsey. Seeing her come back with a bad look, Noemi put down the phone in her hand and asked, “What did you say?”
Amber repeated Kelsey’s question. Noemi was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. “If I were here, I wouldn’t have beaten him to death!”
“Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Being angry because of someone who is not worth it is a punishment. I will cook whatever you eat at noon.”
“Don’t bother to buy some outside,” Noemi replied.
“No, you’re a patient now. Don’t worry about eating home.” Noemi knew her temper, so she had to say the names of the dishes casually.
Amber called Ashton and told him about Noemi’s favorite dishes. He asked him to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables first, and she would go home to cook immediately.
Ashton picked up the phone and rode with Mel to the vegetable market. On the way back from grocery shopping, a car drove over quickly. Ashton hurriedly avoided it, but he didn’t expect that although he avoided the car, he bumped into another car parked on the roadside.
Both Ashton and Mel fell to the ground, and the car that was hit made an ear-piercing alarm. Mel cried out in pain. Ashton ignored the pain in his body and hurried to help Mel. “Mel, where did you get hurt?”
“My butt hurts, so does my head,” Mel replied.
A man strode over, ignoring Ashton and Mel who was crying. “Did you touch this car?”
Ashton’s heart sank as he looked at the front of the car. This car was worth at least ten million yuan. What should he do? He accompanied her carefully. “I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean it. I touched your car because I was forced to come here by a car…”
The man said with a sullen face, “Who saw a car pressing you? People like you are really annoying. You dare to lie after touching someone else’s car. Even if you were forced to come here, you have to take responsibility for touching my car.”
“But… Sir…” Ashton knew very well how expensive the price of this car was. How could he afford it? Mel was still crying. Ashton coaxed him and made him anxious. What should he do?
Chapter 72 A Car Accident
When Amber came back, he saw Ashton standing on the side of the road with Mel in his arms. Mel was crying so hard that her voice was hoarse. She immediately came over and said, “Mel, don’t cry. I’ll hold you.”
When he saw his mother come back, Mel’s crying became much softer. He threw himself into Amber’s arms and touched his little ass with his hands. “Mom, I just fell down with my uncle. My ass hurts.”
“Baby, don’t cry. Mommy is rubbing you!” Amber coaxed Mel softly. Mel stopped crying. Amber looked at Ashton. “Uncle, are you all right?”
“I’m fine,” Ashton replied.
The man on the side was impatient when he saw all this. He said fiercely, “What did you say about the car?”
Amber turned to look at the man. “What happened?”
“Who are you?” The man looked at Amber.
“He’s my uncle,” Amber replied.
“He just hit my car. Look, my car has been hit like this. What do you think we should do?”
“Amber.” Ashton’s face was full of shame. He was very clear about the value of this car. Not to mention that there was no maintenance point in this car, even if they had it, they would not have enough money to pay for it.
“Uncle, don’t worry. Let me think about it.” Although Amber had been married to Rodney for a few years, she didn’t know how to drive. So she pointed to the car and asked, “How much does the maintenance cost?”
“To repair it?” The man seemed to have heard something funny. “Miss, there is no repair point in my car. It can only be repaired after it is sent to the foreign headquarters.”
“Then what should we do?” These words made Amber realize the seriousness of the matter. There was no maintenance point in the country, so one could imagine how expensive it was.
“What should we do? Pay for it!” The man sneered.
“But we don’t have money to pay for it.” Amber bit his lip.
“Do you think you can solve the problem just because you don’t have the money to pay for it?” The man sneered. “Let me tell you, you can solve the problem if you don’t have the money to pay for it. Isn’t there a law? The traffic accident is very serious and you can’t afford it. You can pay for it. You can mortgage the house and other things first. If it’s not enough, you can pay for it after you go to jail.”
Amber’s face changed, and Ashton was speechless and sad. In the past, he often drove such a high- end place, but he didn’t expect that one day he would be so down and out.
“Amber, it’s all Uncle’s fault. Anyway, we don’t have money to pay for it. If you want to go to jail, just let Uncle go.”
“Let me think about it!” Amber rubbed his forehead. What should he do? Even if he sold the house, he could only gather hundreds of thousands of yuan. But if he sold the house, they would be homeless. Moreover, even if he sold the house, it might not be enough for him to pay for it. She was anxious, but the owner of the car began to get impatient. “I can’t think of a way to call the police. Let the police deal with it!”
The man took out his phone and began to call the police. Listening to him calling the police, Amber and Ashton stared at each other. Mel was so scared that she cried again. “Mom, I don’t want to go to the police station.”
“Don’t be afraid!” Although she said that she was not afraid, Amber was actually very scared in his heart. In his whole life, she had not dealt with the police. What should he do?
At this moment, a car stopped beside them. Elliot opened the door and got out. “What happened?”
“Uncle Elliot, this person wants to call the police to arrest us. I’m afraid.” Mel saw Elliot as if he had seen a savior.
“Don’t be afraid! Uncle Elliot is here!” Elliot took Mel from Amber and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him. He looked at Amber and asked, “What happened?”
Amber told him about the car accident. Elliot looked at the luxury car and frowned. Then he looked at the man coldly. “What’s your relationship with Will Moore?”
“What Will Moore and Will Hell? I don’t know them,” the man replied impatiently.
Elliot stared at the man for a while. “Is this car yours?”
The man didn’t take Elliot seriously at all. When he came here, he knew that the people in front of him were poor, so he replied arrogantly, “Are they yours?” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“What an arrogant guy! I’ll make you cry later!” Elliot said and took out his phone to make a call. He was speaking French. Amber couldn’t understand at all, but Ashton, who was standing by the side, kept listening carefully. Elliot hung up the phone, and he looked relieved.
Elliot hung up the phone and immediately made another call. “Mike, come here right away. There’s something to deal with here.” After giving the address, he hung up the phone and looked at the man from head to toe. “You’re bold!”
The man was originally aggressive, but he was a little scared by his gaze. Why did the man in front of him feel so strange? His heart was beating fast, but when he thought of the man who asked him to say that this woman had nothing to do with him, he became bold again. “What do you want to do with this matter?”
“Just you wait. Someone will send money over soon,” Elliot replied.
After a while, a police car drove over. A few policemen got out of the car. One of them saw Elliot and quickly walked over. “Mr. Thomson.”
“I suspect that this guy is a car thief. Take him back and have a look,” Elliot said casually.
The man who drove the luxury car was originally arrogant, but when he heard Elliot’s words, his face suddenly turned pale. The policeman stepped forward and said, “Please come with us.”
The group of people was taken to the nearest police station. The police interrogated the man.
“I didn’t steal a car. I borrowed it,” the man explained.
“You borrowed it? Who did you borrow it from?” Elliot sneered.
The man was speechless for a moment. Elliot sneered. “This is my friend’s car. He is now in France. I just called him and asked him that he didn’t lend the car to anyone. So where did you borrow it?”
“I…” The man was dumbfounded. He never dreamed that it would be like this. “Give it to me.”
