After leaving the hospital, Amber immediately went back to the Black family. She simply tidied up her
luggage and went straight to the airport. Mr. Barron had a good plan. He thought that she would
obediently wait for him to be his lover. Dream on!
Last night’s surrender was just a matter of interest. If it weren’t for her son, she wouldn’t have
pretended to yield and signed a contract.
Over the years, she still had some knowledge of him. He could cheat on her and raise her son, but he
would not be so shameless as to make such a private thing public.
She had been back for a period of time and missed her son very much. Although Pierce reported his
son to her every day and she talked to him every day, she still couldn’t let go of him.
Amber decided to see his son hide from Rodney for a few days. He would come back after he got
engaged. If he could get pregnant in one fell swoop, he would leave immediately.
Rodney drove to the Black family home in the evening. He was extremely happy to see him suddenly
visit Celia. It was raining heavily last night. She only saw the car that sent Amber back was very similar
to Rodney’s, but she didn’t see the license plate and the driver clearly.
However, out of suspicion, she called to ask the nanny of the Barron family. The nanny said that
Rodney did not go back. In the morning, when she saw the red marks on Amber’s neck, she thought
that Amber had something to do with Rodney. She felt very sad.
Now that she saw Rodney bringing gifts to her, Celia blamed herself for overthinking things. If she had
known about Amber’s flight this afternoon, she would definitely have known about it. How could she
have come to visit him now?
Celia took the gift from Rodney with a smile. She invited Rodney to sit down and made tea for him in
person. Shannon and Channing had just returned.
After greeting each other, they sat down separately. The auntie came over to prepare dinner. Channing
had just looked at the time. “Amber, why haven’t you come back yet?”
“Amber has gone abroad!” The auntie replied.
“He went abroad?” Channing was stunned. “Is there anything urgent?”
“I don’t know. Amber said that he wanted to stay abroad for a while.” The auntie said as she prepared
to start the meal. Rodney sat on the sofa with an unchanged expression on his face. He didn’t feel
happy at all.
He didn’t come to the Black family tonight to see Celia, but to see her. It turned out that he thought he
could find an opportunity to talk to her and use the opportunity to threaten her, but he didn’t expect that
Amber would slap his ass and run away.
The dishes cooked by Aunt Maleah tasted very good, but after eating it, it tasted like wax. After dinner,
she sat in the Black family home for a while, and then Rodney raised his head and said goodbye.
When he drove the car, his heart was rolling. He had to admit that Amber was no longer the innocent,
kind, and lovely Amber who had been by his side.
It seemed that it would take him a lot of effort to get hold of her. He called Deon to find out what Amber
was going abroad for!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSoon, Deon brought news to Rodney. Amber went abroad to visit Mel. Deon told him that Mel had a
high fever after being thrown into the stinking ditch in the hospital. Later, it was found that she had
leukemia.
Rodney was stunned. That adorable child was found to have leukemia? How could the heavens be so
cruel?
“Miss. Stone sent the child abroad for treatment and is currently matching the bone marrow.”
Since the child was sick, why didn’t she stay abroad to take care of him? What was this woman
thinking?
She threw the sick child to Pierce, but went back to the country and lived with Elliot every day. What on
earth did she want to do? Didn’t she know that the child needed his mother’s care the most when he
was sick?
Was it because she was short of money? Thinking of what she said in the Black family that day, she
said, “She can’t afford such expensive fruit for many years. Is it because she is short of money? It must
be so.”
Deon couldn’t help sighing when he saw Rodney’s gloomy face. “Mr. Barron, in fact, you shouldn’t have
done that to Miss. Stone. She had a reason to make trouble with the madam last time. The madam
once asked someone to take her son away from the park and threatened to let her leave. That day,
someone sent a note to her, so…”
Therefore, there was a reason for her to come to her mother’s house. Rodney knew about this, so he
endured it when Amber quarreled with his mother and even beat her up.
“You shouldn’t have gotten engaged to Ms. Black so early!” Deon knew that Amber had always been in
Rodney’s heart.
Rodney didn’t say anything. He was engaged to Celia not because of the quarrel between Amber and
his mother, but because she said that good horses don’t eat grass in return. She disliked him, but Celia
couldn’t give birth to children. He felt that she was pitiful. Since she couldn’t get her beloved woman, it
was better to make a desperate decision.
Rodney’s eyes darkened a little. “Have you found out the identity of the person who took the child?”
“No, the hospital’s video is not clear, and that person is wearing a hat and mask, so we can’t see his
face clearly,” Deon replied.
This was a well-planned act! Other than the fact that his mother didn’t want to see Amber appear here,
who else wouldn’t want to see her?
“It can’t be Madam’s order. I went to check all of Madam’s call records and the movements during that
time, but I didn’t find any clues.”
He believed that the person who carried the child in the hospital was not his mother’s doing. Although
his mother was unreasonable and snobbish, she would not do such a vicious thing to throw the child
into a ditch.
“It’s true that someone deliberately took the child away and put it on my mother. The person who took
the child must be someone who knows about it. However, there are only a few people in South City
who know that Amber has a relationship with me.” Rodney’s eyes darkened.
First of all, he thought of Celia and her daughter, followed by Breanna. At that time, she had no
intersection with Elliot. Breanna should not have targeted her anymore, so there was only Celia and her
daughter.
He controlled his emotions and said, “Go and find out what Celia and her daughter did in the past few
days.”
Deon agreed and left.
After learning that Mel had leukemia, Rodney couldn’t calm down all day. Mel’s lovely face kept shaking
in front of him, and it seemed that a stone was weighing down on his heart and he was in a panic.
He remembered that Amber called him late Club Cobalt a few days ago. She said that if you were not
engaged to Celia, I would consider having a reunion with you.
His answer was cold and heartless. After he refused, she called him several more times. He suspected
that she had ulterior motives and chose to refuse to answer the phone and turned it off in the end.
He always thought that she called him to cancel the engagement in order to take revenge on Celia.
Now he realized that he might have made a mistake. At that time, she took the child abroad for medical
treatment. That was to say, she called him for help when she was most helpless and needed help.
Rodney felt like his heart was on fire. If Amber had told him the truth that night, she would have begged
him for help in despair. How heartbroken would his answer have been?
When Rodney returned home, Rachel was playing cards with a few noble madams. When she saw him
come back so early, she hurriedly stopped playing cards and went upstairs to greet him with concern.
“Son, why did you come back so early?”
Rodney looked at Rachel angrily. “Mom, let me ask you something. Did you do it when Amber’s son
was thrown into the stinking ditch?”
“Not me!” Rachel denied.
“Really?” Rodney was very agitated. Although he did not believe that his mother would do such a crazy
thing, he was still worried.
If Deon’s investigation was wrong, this matter was really done by his mother. Amber would definitely
not forgive him for the rest of his life.
“Son, I really didn’t do such a thing. I don’t have any deep hatred for Amber. I threatened her that I just
didn’t want to see you have anything to do with her. Besides, I’m also a single mother. I know that the
child is my mother’s lifeblood. How could I do such a crazy thing as throwing the child into the stinking
ditch?”
Rachel’s words made Rodney let out a sigh of relief. It was good that she was not his mother.
“Son, why do you look so pale? What happened?” Rachel asked tentatively.
“Nothing. I just feel that the child is pitiful. He lost his father’s love at such a young age…” Rodney
stood up and swore, “I must find out who threw such a little child into the stinking ditch!”
The auntie came over with a cup of tea. Her expression changed when she heard that.
Shannon had just answered the phone from the outside when the phone rang. She picked it up and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpicked it up. Riya’s nervous voice came over. “Madam, bad news. Mr. Barron is investigating the matter
of the child being taken away.”
“When?” Shannon was stunned.
“Just now, he came back and asked if Madam did it. After Madam denied it, he made a determined
investigation. I was a little scared. What if Mr. Barron found it out?”
“Don’t worry, he won’t find it out.” Shannon comforted him. She had made a detailed arrangement for
this matter, so she wouldn’t find out about it no matter what.
However, Riya had to be worried. It was her son who threw the child into the stinking ditch. It would be
terrible if her son was found.
Shannon knew what she was worried about. She said, “Don’t worry. I’ve already dealt with this matter.
He won’t find it out. Just relax.”
After hanging up the phone, Shannon frowned. It had been so long. Why would Rodney want to
investigate it?
Fortunately, at that time, she was more careful and did not use the people outside. Instead, she asked
Riya’s son to do this. Riya’s son, Channing’s driver, Rodney, would not have thought of investigating
the people around Channing.
Mel’s body was obviously much better than before. When Amber arrived, Pierce was walking with Mel
in the garden. When he saw Amber suddenly appear, both of them were very surprised. Mel threw
himself into Amber’s arms. “Mom, I am very brave. I didn’t cry when I took the shot.”
Amber held Mel in his arms and kissed her again and again. “My good son has suffered!”
Pierce looked at her thin face and knew that she must have been under a lot of pressure recently.
“Amber, you don’t have to worry too much. The doctor said that Mel’s situation is not very bad. We
have time.”
“How can I not be worried?” Amber picked up Mel and walked back. As the saying goes, mother and
son are closely connected. Mel is the flesh that fell from her body. At such a young age, she has to
endure the torture of illness. How can I not worry? If possible, she wants the person who suffered from
illness to be her.
The arrival of Amber made Mel very happy. There was always laughter in the room. Amber ignored the
fatigue of the journey and played with his son’s blocks. Pierce also joined them. The three of them were
sitting on the carpet and playing happily. Pierce’s phone rang. He answered the phone and Breanna’s
voice came. “Brother, Grandma asked you to go home for dinner tonight.”
“I don’t have time tonight.” Pierce answered as he reached out to place the building blocks.
Breanna turned on the speaker and Madam Hammond heard Pierce’s answer. She motioned for
Breanna to continue persuading her. Suddenly, a childish voice came from the other end of the line.
“Uncle Pierce, this is for you.”
Mel picked up a piece of block and handed it to Pierce. Then, she pointed to the block placed by Amber
and said, “Mom, this is the wrong one. It should be here.”
“So smart!” Amber praised.
Hearing Amber’s voice coming from the other end of the line, the old lady’s face darkened.
