Hypnotizing Love

Chapter 58 Did You Do This?

This smell was identical to the one he had gotten on his hands while in the resort's shower room. How

could the aroma of Amber's body wash be present here?

Unless the shower gel did not belong to Amber. Makenna used this bathroom just before they left. It

was now clear who had caused this incident to occur.

Jared squeezed the bathrobe in his hand while his cold gaze fixed on the bottle of body wash hidden

inside the cabinet. The bottle of body wash was clear, and the half-full amount of body wash inside was

clearly visible.

It was obvious where the other half had gone.

Jared's face was horribly gloomy as he threw on the bathrobe and left the bathroom.

Makenna was sitting on the sofa in the living room, talking on the phone with Shonna. She raised her

eyes and looked ahead into Jared's cold face when she heard his footsteps. She forced a smile and

asked, "Jared, you're done with your shower so quickly?"

Why was he staring at her with such disdain?

"Makenna, why are you silent?" inquired Shonna over the phone.

Makenna settled down and replied with a smile, "Shonna, it's late now. Please sleep earlier, and we

can talk again next time."

Makenna hung up and put the phone on the coffee table. As she walked towards Jared, she could feel

the anger in Jared's eyes as they landed on her.

Makenna felt uneasy in her heart, but she kept her face expressionless.

"Jared, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?" She approached Jared and leaned forward,

attempting to lean into his arms.

Jared took a step back after looking at her.

Makenna stumbled and almost fell. She looked at him with surprise and aggravation, "Jared, you…"

"Did you cause Amber to fall in the shower room?" Jared stopped her speech and said with a frosty

expression.

Makenna started to feel nervous. However, she immediately nodded to deny it, without thinking much

about how he would suspect her. She added, "Of course I'm not the one who did this. How could you

think it was me?"

She pretended to be enraged and unhappy with his misunderstanding.

She expected Jared to coax her and tell her not to be angry as he usually did.

To her surprise, Jared had no action. He just stood there staring at her with disappointment and some

unreadable, complicated feelings.

"You are still denying it now. Do you think that I will simply suspect you if I don't have any definite

evidence?"

Definite evidence?

Makenna's face became paler.

She knew he never lied.

He really got the proof.

Makenna became panicked and said, "Jared, I…"

Jared interrupted her speech once again, "Amber fell due to a large puddle of body wash and the smell

of that body wash was exactly the same as yours. Your body wash was customised and thus, no other

body wash in this world could be the same as yours."

"Moreover, when you travel, everything you bring is brand new and unopened. But half of your shower

gel is now gone for no reason. The evidence was enough to prove what you had done."

Jared looked at her as if he was looking at a stranger and asked, "Makenna, were you really the simple

and kind girl who wrote to me?"

Makenna was freezing while her hands and feet went cold.

She didn't know what to do because he was beginning to suspect her identity!

No, she needed to clear his conscience as soon as possible, otherwise everything would be ruined.

Makenna's eyes flashed and she cried suddenly, "I'm sorry Jared, I know I'm wrong, I'm sorry…"

Her face was flushed from coughing, and her body swayed slightly as if she was about to faint.

Jared's heart softened when he saw her weak expression. He patted her on the back to smooth her

breath and said, "The one you should apologize to isn't me."

"Yes, I will apologize to Ms Reed tomorrow, "she said, shaking his arms and adding, "Jared, can you

just forgive me?"

Jared didn't say anything, but he also didn't take his arms away. He frowned and said, "I'm curious why

you need to do this? Have you ever thought that you could murder someone by doing this!"

"I didn't think much about it," Makenna said as she lowered her voice and choked, "I did this because I

was afraid. Miss Reed had been with you for six years. I was afraid you had her in your heart and

would be snatched away by her, so I acted on impulse. I later regretted it, but I didn't dare tell the truth.

I'm afraid you will blame me."

"Silly, I only have you in my heart. Amber couldn't possibly be in my heart." It turned out that she did

such a thing just because he had not provided her with a sufficient sense of security. Jared felt a little

self-condemnation in his heart. Then, he hugged her and kissed her hair.

"Don't do such a thing again in the future, understand?"

"Yes." Makenna, who was leaning in his embrace, breathed a sigh of relief when she realized, he had

softened his tone. She knew that all his suspicions had been dispelled.

Then, she thought of something else and lowered her eyes to ask worriedly, "Jared, do you think if I

apologize to Ms Reed tomorrow, will she get angry and call the police?"

Jared stroked her hair and said, "Just relax, I will handle it."

"Thank you, Jared." Makenna kissed him while standing on her tiptoes.

However, Jared frowned and subconsciously turned his head down.

Makenna's kiss fell short. Her lips froze for a moment before she pretended nothing had happened and

kissed him on the cheek instead.

On the other hand, the doctor was treating Amber.

Cole clenched his fists and paced around the room until the doctor removed his gloves. He asked,

"Doctor, how is Amber?"

"She is not in critical condition now; she just had a concussion. I had re-sterilized and bandaged the

wound, but it's still preferable that you go to the hospital for a detailed examination. I'm afraid that she

might have blood clots inside her head," replied the doctor.

"Alright, I will take her there tomorrow." Cole gave a nod.

He sat back down on the bed after dismissing the doctor. He smiled at Amber and said, "Fortunately

you're fine, otherwise I would kill Jared or even destroy the world."

He shivered as he remembered his face and then fell asleep on the edge of the bed.

It was already the next morning when Amber awoke.

She rolled her eyes and swept her gaze around the room to observe where she was.

Amber blinked and braced herself to get up, but as soon as she moved, she felt a sharp pain in her

head. The pain caused her to turn her face white and fall back into the bed while a picture flashed

through her mind.

She recalled that she had fallen when she came out of the shower room yesterday and had bumped

her head.

No wonder she was dizzy, and her head was hurting.

Amber grunted out in pain.

"Amber, you're awake?" Cole, who was still sleeping beside the bed, was jolted awake and Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

straightened up to face Amber.

Amber tugged at the corner of her mouth and asked, "You watched over me all night?"

"Yes." Cole casually tidied his hair and said with a smile, "Amber, since I treat you so well, do you want

to consider turning me into your real boyfriend?"

Amber gave him a blank stare before saying, "Impossible!"

It was terrifying to be in a relationship with one's best friend.

"It is true that women are heartless!" Cole looked at her sorrowfully.

Amber stomped on him and said, "Stop annoying!"

Cole immediately stopped making a fuss and became serious, "Amber, how did you fall?"
