Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 340
The bandage was so thick and wide. Amber could tell how seriously Jared had been injured.
"Amber, let's go inside to check on him." Logan put his hand on the doorknob.
Amber shook her head and refused, "Not necessary. I've seen him. I must go now."
"But..." Logan still wanted to retort.
Amber pressed her red lips. "Logan, I didn't plan to come over, but you dragged me here. Now I've seen Jared Farrell. You can't go too far!"
Logan blushed. "I'm not going too far, Amber. I just wish you could accompany Jared."
"Why should I? Who is he to me?" Amber looked at him indifferently.
Logan parted his lips and wanted to say she was Jared's wife. However, he realized that Amber had already divorced Jared.
Hence, Logan couldn't speak out his words at the tip of his tongue.
Amber shook her head while looking at him. Then she turned around and walked to the elevator.
Logan didn't stop her again.
Probably, he had realized that he had no right to stop her.
Amber walked to the elevator and pressed the button to go downstairs.
Shortly after the elevator arrived, a man wearing a white gown came out. It was Elias.
Seeing Amber, Elias understood something and squinted. "Your ward isn't in this direction. You shouldn't have been here. Did you come over to see Jared Farrell?"
Amber wasn't surprised that his guess was accurate. She shrugged helplessly. "Right. I met Logan when I was leaving. He told me Grandma was also in the hospital, so I went to see her. After that, Logan dragged me here."
"I see. Are you leaving now?" Elias asked, putting his hands in the pockets of the white gown.
Amber nodded. "Right. I've seen him, so I should leave now."
Elias smiled. "What's your opinion on Jared Farrell's injury?"
"My opinion?" Amber looked at him in confusion. "Why do you want to know?"
"Nothing much. I'm curious. After all, I heard he was injured because of you," Elias pushed up his glasses and answered.
Amber looked down and said calmly, "It had something to do with me, but he was the real cause. I don't give any comments."
"Oh?" A light flashed through Elias's eyes. He became interested. "So, you know why he has been beaten, don't you?"
"Sort of. However, it's the privacy between the Farrell family and me, so I can't tell you.
" Amber nodded at him apologetically. "All right, Dr. Lansdale. I must go now. See you."
Then she bypassed him and entered the elevator.
Elias turned to look at the closing elevator door. Light reflected on his glasses. He didn't turn back until the door was closed entirely. He pushed up the glasses and let out a meaningful laugh. "Interesting!"
The garden in the inpatient building.
Amber found Cole.
He was sitting on a bench while speaking on the phone.
Amber walked over. Seeing her, Cole waved at her and said something to the phone before hanging it up soon.
"Done?" Cole asked and put away his phone.
Amber nodded. "Done."
"Why did it take you so much?" Cole pointed at his watch, hinting that he had been waiting for a long time.
Amber smiled in embarrassment. "I chatted with Grandma and forgot about the time. Sorry for that. I'll treat you for dinner later."
"I'd rather not. You can only eat certain food right now. I won't have any appetite if I have to eat alone. Let's go. I'll send you home." Cole stood up.
They walked to the parking lot of the hospital shoulder-by-shoulder.
After taking a few steps, Cole suddenly recalled something. He turned to look at Amber and asked, "By the way, Babe, guess who I saw earlier?"
"Who did you see?" Amber shook her head, meaning she didn't want to make a guess or couldn't figure it out.
Cole didn't insist. He squinted and sneered. "I saw Makenna Gardner."
"What?" Amber paused her paces. "Did Makenna Gardner come to the hospital?"
"She didn't come here. Since she came out of the court that day, she stayed in the hospital. I asked a nurse. She said Makenna Gardner hadn't fully recovered when the police took her for detention, so she came back for the treatment after she was released. She also left the hospital today," said Cole.
Amber looked stern. "I see."
"How strange! You three, Jared Farrell, Makenna, and you, so weird." Cole rubbed his chin.
Amber turned to look at him. "What?"
"Of course, I meant you were too unlucky," Cole said with a smile, "Haven't you found it? How many times have you three come to the hospital in the recent three months? You three took turns to come here. So hilarious!"
"Um..." Amber's lips twitched, but she couldn't retort at all.
What he said was true.
"All right. Forget those matters. Go ahead and drive." Amber pulled the door of Cole's car open and sat in.
Cole saluted at her and said, "Yes, Ma'am."
Back to Kelsington Bay, Cole didn't stay long. He cleaned up the apartment for Amber. It seemed that he was still busy in the company.
Amber ordered a takeout. While eating, she called Jeremy on the phone.
However, just like what Cole said in the morning, she couldn't reach Jeremy at all.
She wondered if Jeremy vanished because of his job or their open conversation yesterday that made him hide purposely.
However, she must find Jeremy and convince him to take the medical treatment.
Thinking of that, Amber put the phone down. She tabbed to open the messenger App and messaged Jeremy: Jere, give me a call when you see my message. I have important things to tell you. Please.
After that, she put away the phone. While waiting for Jeremy to call her back, she was lost in thought.
However, she still hadn't received any response from him until the following morning.
Amber got up and checked her phone. Seeing there was no missed call at all, she heaved a sigh.
She wondered if Jeremy had seen her message.
She rubbed her sleepy, dizzy head and redialed Jeremy's number. However, the robotic voice still told her his phone was powered off.
Amber frowned. "What's going on? What is Jere doing?"
His phone had been off for a day and a night. She couldn't help wondering if something had happened to him.
Amber pressed her lips and called Cole.
Shortly after, Cole answered the call. He yawned and said, "Morning, Babe."
"Morning, Cole." Amber lifted the quilt and got down the bed. Then she pulled to open the curtain of the French window.
The shiny sunlight fell into the room on her face. She felt dazzling.
Amber closed her eyes. After a few seconds, she opened them again.
"You call me so early in the morning, Babe. Do you miss me?" Cole teased her.
Amber rolled her eyes. "Stop kidding. Be serious. I want to ask you something."
"All right. What is it?" Cole coughed a bit and became solemn.
Amber also looked solemn and continued, "It's about Jere. Since last night, his phone has been powered off. I can't get in touch with him, so I'm worried if something has happened to him."
She was afraid Jeremy couldn't accept it after their open conversation and would do something silly.
After all, no one knew what a man with serious mental illnesses would do. lightnoveldaily.com
