Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 382

"That's good to know." Hayden patted his chest at ease and asked, "Who attacked you?"

"I don't know. It's currently being investigated and the result should be available tomorrow," Amber said.

Hayden sighed with some regret. "I wanted to do you a favor."

"No, you'd better take Jayden back first. He didn't eat and sleep well with me these days. It is not good for his health. He needs a good rest," Amber said.

Hayden got what Amber implied, so he nodded in frustration, "Well, I see. I will visit you tomorrow. Jayden, say goodbye to aun… Amber!"

"Goodbye, Auntie!" Jayden waved goodbye to Amber.

Although Amber could not see it, she waved goodbye to Jayden in return.

Hayden picked up Jayden and left.

Amber was left alone in the ward. The sudden silence made her feel a little scared, especially when she couldn't see anything.

Amber didn't know who will enter her ward in the next second and whether it was a good person or a bad guy.

If Trenton suddenly came and tried to kill Amber, Amber couldn't do anything at all.

"Is there anyone out there?" Amber shouted, wanting to call the caregiver back.

When Hayden came, the caregiver went out without returning. Amber didn't know where the caregiver went.

If the caregiver was here, Amber wouldn't be so scared. At least, the caregiver would tell Amber who the visitor was.

"Gwen, are you here?" Amber grabbed the quilt and shouted again.

Suddenly, a low and familiar voice interrupted her. "What's wrong?"

It was Jared!

Amber opened her eyes wide, and the fear in her heart disappeared at once.

Amber shook her head with relief. "I'm fine. I'm a little scared to be alone, so I want Gwen back. She is not here, but having you here helps."

At this moment, Amber admitted that she needed Jared.

Jared was at least not a stranger, and with him here, Amber would not face the dark unknown.

Hearing Amber's words "having you here helps", Jared was stunned for a while. Then he was over the moon, and he even forget the pain on his back.

Jared walked over to the bed. "Don't be afraid. I'll be here with you all the time."

Amber opened her mouth, wanting to tell Jared that he could leave after Stella came back.

But on second thought, she found it was a little, so she didn't say anything.

Jared got a chair and sat down. "Have you got the answer?"

Amber knew what he meant. She narrowed her eyes. "Yes, Sharon's answer surprised me. She is not the woman attacking me. She is just a scapegoat!"

"What?" Jared's face darkened. "A scapegoat?"

"Yes, Sharon has a son who is suffering from leukemia and needed a large sum of money. Therefore, Sharon agreed to take the fall. As long as Sharon doesn't confess who the attacker was and takes the fall, her son's medical bills will be paid." Amber shook her head with emotion.

Jared pursed his lips and said in a cold voice, "Who is the real attacker?"

"I don't know, and Sharon doesn't know either. She just described the attacker's appearance. Cole will ask a painter to draw a portrait according to the description," Amber replied.

Jared's eyes darkened and he wanted to say something. However, a phone rang interrupted him.

It's Amber's phone.

Jared looked towards the phone on the bed and saw that it was Cole. Jared's eyes turned sharp at once.

But Jared handed the phone to Amber. "It's Cole."

Amber thanked Jared and put the phone to her ear. "Cole, what's wrong?"

"Honey, the detective has told me that Sharon doesn't lie. She does have a son suffering from leukemia, but her son doesn't know that her at all. Sharon hasn't told her son who she was." Cole's voice came from the phone.

Amber raised her eyebrows in confusion. "Why?"

"Sharon's son was diagnosed as leukemia when he was born. Sharon abandoned him. Ten years later, Sharon's family all died in an accident during a trip. Sharon survived, but she was injured and could no longer bear children. Back then, she found her son by chance, but she was too guilty to face him."

"I see." Amber looked at Jared. "No wonder she didn't say anything when you threatened her with her family at the police station. She was obviously afraid but insisted she was the one to blame. She must have thought we could never know she had a son."

"Honey, who are you talking to?" On the other end of the phone, Cole found it was strange, so he asked suspiciously.

Amber didn't hide it from Cole. "Jared."

"What? Jared?" Cole got nervous at once. "Why does he always bother you?"

Amber didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "His ward is next to mine. Well, back to business. Did the detective find anything else? For example, does her son have money to pay for the surgery now?"

"No." Cole shook his head. "The detective went to the hospital where her son was and was told that no one paid for the surgery."

Amber lifted her chin. "The attacker did not pay as agreed, right?"

"Yes, but she is probably waiting for Sharon to be convicted." Cole shrugged.

Amber rubbed between her brows. "I see. Cole, I should hang up the phone."

She put down her phone.

Jared reached out. "Let me do it. You can't see it."

"Thanks." Amber directly handed the phone to him.

After Jared took it, he stared at the screen and hung up the phone with a sneer.

Putting the phone back on the bed, Jared looked at Amber. "What are you going to do with Sharon?"

Now that Sharon was not the attacker, they shouldn't send her for the drug trial.

Amber put her hand on her forehead. "To be honest, I do not know what to do. I'll tell Elias not to do a drug trial on Sharon. What we should do is catch the attacker."

"Okay." Jared nodded.

Amber yawned.

She looked tired. Jared softened his voice, "Are you sleepy?"

Amber nodded. "Yes, I'm a little tired."

"Then take a nap, and I'll stay here to protect you," Jared said.

Amber wanted to refuse.

Jared added, "You are afraid of being alone, aren't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have wanted the caregiver."

Words failed Amber. Jared saw through what she was thinking.

Jared gave a gentle smile. "Hurry up and take a nap. I'll leave when the caregiver comes back."

This time, Amber did not refuse.

Amber's head hadn't recovered. After returning from Primary Medical Center, she felt very groggy and sleepy.

Thus, she was too tired to stay up.

"Well, thank you very much." Amber pursed her lips in embarrassment.

Jared helped her lie down. "It's nothing. Just take a nap."

Then, Jared covered her with the quilt and tucked her in.

Amber nodded, closed her eyes, and fell asleep after a while.

Jared looked at Amber's peaceful and quiet face. His eyes were full of affection.

The next second, Jared leaned down and kissed Amber's forehead.
