Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 299

At the clinic, the Doctor was treating Jared for burns on the back of his hand.

Amber stood beside him, her palms clasped, and she asked with a serious expression, "Doctor, is there something wrong with his hands?"

She heard that there were a lot of nerves on the hand, she was afraid that the nerves on his hand would have some kind of problem that would damage his ability to take care of himself.

In that case, she couldn't afford it. After all, he got hurt trying to save her.

Jared looked at Amber's furrowed brow and the unease in her eyes and whispered, "Don't worry, my hand will be fine."

Amber knew he was saying that on purpose, and she ignored him, she just looked at the Doctor, waiting for the Doctor's answer.

The Doctor threw away a bloody swab, "There's nothing wrong with his hands," he said. "It's not a lot of sulfuric acid on it. It just corrodes the flesh. It will grow over time, but it might leave a scar."

At the Doctor's words, Amber's heart finally fell back into place. "Good."

Jared's brows softened. "You see, I was right."

Amber gave him a dirty look.

Then her cell phone rang.

Amber pulled it out. It was Cole.

Without delay, she took her cell phone and headed for the door of the clinic.

Jared had just glimpsed Amber's caller ID, and when he saw her answer it, his face fell, and his hand on the table clenched as well

The doctor saw this, he pushed his reading glasses, "Well, gentleman, you need to relax your hand, I cannot dress your wound when you are holding it so tightly all of a sudden."

Jared frowned and finally released his tightly clenched right hand.

But his gaze, however, had been fixed at the clinic door in the dark.

Outside the clinic, Amber put her phone to her ear and answered. "Cole."

"Babe, are you okay?" Cole was on the other end of the call; he was just finishing a meeting when he heard his assistant say that an extremist had thrown acid at Amber, so he immediately called her.

"Is it true that you were attacked by sulfuric acid?" Cole gripped the phone tightly in both hands, his voice filled with tension and worry.

Amber nodded. "It's true."

"Are you hurt? Where are you hurt? Is It Serious?" When he heard her admit the fact, his heart nearly jumped out of his chest. He quickly asked a few more questions.

Amber listened to his unreserved concern for her, and her heart warmed, "Cole, you need to calm down first. I am fine. I was not hurt because someone saved me. Otherwise, how am I able to talk to you on the phone right now?"

Upon hearing this, Cole immediately sighed in relief and said, "That's good. That's good. I was So Scared!"

He put his hand on his chest. "By the way, Babe, you said someone saved you. Who? I have to thank him for saving you and the world."

"The world?" Said Amber, shaking her head. "What are you talking about?"

Cole wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I'm not making this up," he said. "He saved the world by saving you."

Jeremy, that boy is crazy.

If he finds out that babe's been hurt by sulfuric acid, he's going to do something that will destroy the world, so he's not wrong.

Amber didn't know what Cole was thinking, just thought he was making a joke, trying to cheer her up.

"All right, be serious," Amber said, ruffling her hair around her ears. "You just asked me who saved me, and I'm telling you right now, it was Jared."

"What?" Cole froze, double-checking two seconds later. "Jared?"

"It's him." Amber nodded.

Cole frowned. "What's he doing there?"

Amber rubbed her temples. "It's a long story, but he saved my life. If it weren't for him, I'd be in the hospital right now."

Cole pursed his lips. "Since he did, there's no need to thank him, he treated you so badly before, this is his compensation."

"Don't say that. It's not like that. He's saved my life a few times before, so we're even now. I need to express my gratitude." Amber replied.

Cole was silent.

After a while, he said again, "How are you going to thank him?"

"I don't know. I'll ask him what he wants when the time comes," Amber said thoughtfully.

Cole frowned. "If he asks you to remarry him, will you say yes?"

Amber smiled. "Do you think it's possible? If he does, I would rather get an identical wound on my hand as he did today, as his pay-back for saving my life. In short, I won't remarry him, ever!"

She took her last words very seriously.

Cole was taken aback. He paused for a few seconds, and then smiled. "That's what you said, babe. I'll remember it. If you change your mind later, I won't."

"I won't change my mind," said Amber with a resigned smile.

Cole let go of his worries and relaxed. "By the way, Babe, did he hurt himself trying to save you? You said you would get an identical wound as he did."

"Well, the sulfuric acid got on the back of his hand, but it's not too bad. I'm at the clinic with him now, I'm going to the police station, and some of Makenna's supporters online called the police for her."

"PFFT!" Cole burst out laughing. "Damn! They're actually on our side, aren't they? Helping Makenna call the police. Are they afraid she hasn't been sent to jail faster?"

Amber, too, raised the corner of her mouth. "I guess so. All right, I'm going to go check on Jared."

"All right, I'll meet you at the station when I'm done here," Cole nodded.

When the call was over, Amber put down her phone and went back to the clinic.

The doctor had already dressed his wound, and he was bandaging him up.

Jared saw her come in, eyes flashing, "What did Cole tell you?"

He sounded like a husband checking up on his wife.

Amber went to pay the bill and then came back.

Jared looked at his hand and tried to squeeze it, but the bandage was too tight, he couldn't even clench his hand, and his fingers weren't moving.

As Amber can see, he's going to suffer from a bit inconvenience in daily life for a while.

Amber noticed this and lowered her eyelids. "You didn't have to save me."

Jared stopped what he was doing with his hand, and then narrowed his eyes at her, "Why?"

"We are two people who have nothing to do with each other, you really don't have to risk such a danger to save me, and you know how harmful the sulfuric acid is." Amber locked eyes with him.

Jared's thin lips pursed, "I know."

"But you still..."

"You're different." Jared cut her off, "In your opinion, we are two strangers, who have nothing to do with each other. But for me, you are my lover, if I don't even save my own lover, who else can I save?"

He gazed at her with deep affection.

Amber felt his gaze was hot, making her uncomfortable, she was not used to it, and she turned her face away, "No matter what, you saved me. This kindness I will not forget, as long as you don't ask for me to remarry you, or for me to be with you, you can ask whatever you want."
