NovelEnglishChapter 44 Self-Directed Heroic Act
Jared subconsciously avoided her move.
At this time, Shonna pushed the ward door open and walked in with a thermos food container. When she saw this scene, she
froze before smiling immediately, “Oh, it seems like I have come at
wrong time. I am disturbing you guys. Shall I wait outside?”
the
She took a few steps back to go out.
Shonna’s words had made Makenna flush with embarrassment. Makenna hurriedly let go of
Jared. “You are not disturbing us, Mrs. Farrell. Come on in.”
“I am glad that I am not disturbing you guys.” Shonna came in with a thermos food container. “I spoke to your mother on the
phone this morning and learned that you accidentally fell from the stairs last night. I’m afraid the food in the hospital doesn’t
agree with you, so I made some soup
and came over to see you.”
She glanced at Jared and said, “No wonder Jared didn’t tell me about not coming home last night. Turns out he has gone to the
hospital to take care of you.”
At the thought of the text messages Chloe had sent last night, Makenna was quite upset. However, Makenna hid her emotion
very well and said gently, “Mrs. Farrell, please do not blame Jared. I was too scared and asked him to stay in the hospital to take
care of me.”
“It is okay. He should take care of you!” Shonna asked with concern, “Which part of your leg is injured? Does it still hurt?”
“My leg still hurts a little, but the doctor said it is fine.”
“You should be careful in the future. Have some soup. Not only is it nutritious, but it also has nourishing and beautifying effects.”
Shonna served the soup to her.
Makenna took it with a smile, “Thank you, Mrs. Farrell.”
“If you really want to thank me, you should work harder and give me a grandchild sooner.” Shonna squinted her eyes at
Makenna.
“Mrs. Farrell...” Makenna lowered her head with a blush. She was too embarrassed to look into
Shonna’s eyes.
Not only was Makenna good-looking, but she was also soft-spoken. Most importantly, she had a strong family background. There
would be many benefits to the marriage between the
When it came to such a well-mannered and wealthy daughter-in-law, Shonna could not wait
for her to join the Farrell family.
2/4 “I already liked you as soon as I saw you. You are just likeable!” Shonna said. She also mentioned Amber, but with a
disgusted expression. “Unlike Amber. Although she has been a part
of the Farrell family for six years, she is not likeable.”
“I even saw her scandalous news this morning. Alas, since her father has such a terrible character, her character will not be
good. How dare she take a video to slander me!”
“If it were not for the Farrell family supporting her in these years, she might have lived a life worse than a beggar’s!”
“Cole’s personality is rather out of the line, but he is excellent at doing business. I don’t understand his appeal to Amber. If I were
Cole’s mother, I would never want a daughter-in-law
like Amber!”
Jared was standing on the side of the hospital bed. While listening to his mother criticizing
Amber, he frowned slightly and felt uncomfortable.
Although the Reed family had collapsed, Amber had never asked him for anything after marrying him. She had been a virtuous
wife in the Farrell family’s residence for the past six years. He heard from the servants that Amber had always been submissive
to Shonna and had
never talked back to her.
Shonna was the one who went to stir up trouble at Goldstone Co. and got videoed by an employee. Regarding this matter, Jared
suppressed it in the end. However, Shonna still held a grudge against Amber.
‘In the six years of marriage, what kind of life did Amber live in the Farrell family’s residence.
under my mom’s torture?’
At this point, Jared felt a stifling pain in his chest.
“Mom, Amber and I are already divorced. You need not mention her so often.” Jared was
annoyed with Shonna” ranting and interrupted her.
He picked up the jacket on the chair with a grim look. “Since you have nothing to do, you can stay in the hospital to keep
Makenna company. I have work to do, so I will go back to the office.”
“Okay, go ahead.” Since Jared spoke, Shonna dared not chatter and immediately stopped
talking.
Makenna gently instructed, “Jared, be careful on the way.”
“Okay.”
It was not until three o’clock in the afternoon that Amber saw the other party accept her money and replied with the word
“alright”.
She really could not remember how she hooked up with this man last night. However, she saw that he did not look like the kind
of person who would pester her. Instead, he seemed a little.Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
cold.
It was good. She could rest assured.
But there was one more thing that made Amber suspicious. After pondering over it, she found Hayden’s contact number and
dialled it.
Hayden answered quickly. He sounded feeble, “Ms. Reed, what’s up?”
“I know you are one of the owners of Blue Moon. I would like to ask you a small favour.” Amber recalled the pieces of her
memories and said, “Last night, I came out of a private room to throw up in the washroom. Then, a waiter passed by and gave
me a bottle of mineral water.”
“Huh?” Hayden raised his tone, “Ms. Reed, what do you mean?”
“After drinking that bottle of water, I cannot remember many things that happened after that.” Amber said, “I know my alcohol
tolerance. Besides, I have just gone into the bathroom and thrown up. So how could I not be conscious at all? I suspect that
there is something wrong with
that bottle of water.”
“Huh?” Hayden raised his eyebrows and felt that things were getting interesting.
Five minutes ago, Hayden sent a text message. Only then did he know what these two had done upstairs in the clubhouse last
night. He deleted that part of the surveillance tape entirely.
As a result, Amber came to ask Hayden about the matter now.
‘Could it be that Jared unscrupulously drugged his ex-wife and planned the entire heroic rescue for the sake of getting her back?’
Amber puzzled, “Why did you chuckle for no reason?”
“Ms. Reed, I just did not think you would suspect that someone had paid off the waiter to drug you.” Hayden said with a laugh, “It
is because there are surveillance cameras everywhere in the clubhouse, and the waiters’ information has gotten strictly
reviewed...”
“Just ask that waiter and tell me if you have any information.” Amber was afraid that Hayden would gossip about it. So she
interrupted him and said, “Do not ask what you shouldn’t ask!”
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
After work, Amber drove back to Kelsington Bay. After she got out of the elevator, she saw the
teenager in school uniform sitting cross-legged at her door. Her eyebrows twitched.
Why was this kid here again?
Upon hearing the footsteps, Logan looked up. Then, he nimbly got up from the ground and said discontentedly, “What time did
you get off work? You are back so late. I have been sitting at your door for half an hour!”
