Love Letters From My EX

“I see.” Jared nodded slightly.

Elias put his hands into the pocket of the surgery gown and left.

Shortly after he was gone, a nurse helped Amber come out.

Since her abortion didn’t need to go through a C-section, Amber could walk by herself instead of being pushed out on a bed.

However, she felt quite uncomfortable in her lower abdomen, so she strolled. She almost moved forward.

Whenever she took a step, she felt a pain in her belly. Hence, she looked ashen with cold sweat on her forehead.

When Jared saw that, his heart tightened. Instantly, he walked up to her. “Let me do it.”

He reached out and wanted to help Amber up instead.

The nurse thought he was her family, so she didn’t refuse. She let go of Amber’s arm and moved away.

However, before Jared took Amber’s arm, Amber dodged him. She said in a weak tone, “Not necessary. I can walk myself.”

She held the wall, gritted her teeth, and kept walking forward.

Her stubbornness made Jared feel sorry and upset. He pulled a long face and said, “I know you dislike me, but this is different. You can’t take the risk of your health just to be against me right now.”

After finishing his words, he directly bent over and scooped her into a bridle carry.

Amber subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck. When she returned to her senses, she instantly let go of him. “Put me down!”

Jared ignored her while walking to the ward with a stern look.

Seeing that he refused to do it, Amber pushed his chest forcibly. “Put me down, Jared Farrell! Are you deaf?”

“Stay still!” Jared held her more tightly. He looked down at her with his intense eyes. “You’ve just done the abortion. Don’t move around. If you fall, you’ll get injured. Why do you have to make yourself suffer?”

Upon hearing it, Amber quieted down instantly.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

She couldn’t agree with him more. She couldn’t make herself suffer.

Since he was willing to carry her, she let him do so.

As she thought, Amber nestled in his arms obediently. However, her body was pretty stiff.

Jared’s eyes dimmed.

When a person was weak, he or she would wish to have someone to lean on.

However, she was so stiff when in his arms. It meant she didn’t want to rely on him.

Otherwise, why didn’t she relax?

Neither spoke on the way.

Arriving at the ward, Jared put Amber on the bed, tucked her into the quilt, and asked gently, “Are you hungry?”

Amber was about to shake her head, but her belly growled.

Jared heard it. He chuckled and said, “Take a good rest. I’ll go out to buy some food.”

He poured a glass of water for her, put it on the nightstand, and turned away.

The ward returned to silence.

Amber stroked her belly. She couldn’t feel the bulge anymore, and her abdomen became flat as if the pregnancy was only her illusion.

However, she knew it wasn’t. She still felt a faint sore in the lower abdomen, which reminded her of what she had been through.

However, the baby was already gone.

Amber bit her lower lip, grabbed her patient gown, and sobbed.

She didn’t know if it was because she was happy or upset…

Suddenly, her phone rang.

Amber hurriedly wiped off her tears, took several deep breathes, and calmed down. Then she picked up her phone, checked the caller ID, and swiped to answer, “Hello?”

“Where are you now, Babe?” Cole was standing at Amber’s office door. He asked anxiously, “Sheila said you didn’t come to work today. I couldn’t find you in the apartment earlier. Where have you gone to?”

“I’m in the hospital,” Amber answered in a weak tone while leaning against the bedhead.

Cole could tell she was fragile. He panicked more. Gripping his phone with both hands, he raised his voice and asked, “The hospital? What happened to you, Babe?”

“Nothing serious. I’ve done the abortion,” Amber answered with her eyes closed.

“What? Abortion?” Cole’s body shook. “Didn’t you plan to do it abroad at the weekend? Why did you do it today? Which hospital are you in? I’m going to find you.”

“Primary Medical Center,” Amber told him while rubbing her temples.

Cole instantly hung up the phone and trotted to the elevator.

Sheila came out of the secretary’s office with a mug of brewed coffee. Seeing that Cole was pressing the elevator button, she was surprised. Instantly, she asked, “Mr. Lyon, where are you going? Aren’t you waiting for Ms. Reed?”

Cole was in a hurry to see Amber, so he didn’t hear what she asked. When the elevator arrived, he strode in instantly.

Looking at the closed elevator door, Sheila’s eyes dimmed. She smiled bitterly.

Since she was assigned to work for Amber, she could hardly meet Cole. Finally, when she saw him, he would either be with Amber or leave pretty soon. Sheila could scarcely talk to him.

She had thought she could speak to him more as Amber wasn’t in today. She would be delighted eve if they only talked business.

However, he left so soon.

Cole rushed to the parking lot of Goldstone. When he was about to get in, a black sportscar came over and stopped in front of him.

The car window was pressed down. Jeremy poked out his head. “Why are you in such a hurry?”

Seeing him, Cole’s eyes lit up. “Good timing, Jeremy. Please give me a ride. Your sportscar is faster.”

While he spoke, Cole pulled the door of the passenger seat open and got in. “Hurry up. Go to Primary Medical Center.”

Jeremy frowned in disdain. “Why are you going to the hospital?”

“Babe has an abortion. Otherwise, why would I go?” Cole answered while fastening the seat belt.

Jeremy’s expression changed a bit. His hands holding the steering wheel tightened instantly. “Did you mean… Amber had done the operation?”

“Right.” Cole nodded.

Jeremy looked down, feeling complicated.

He wondered why Amber had done the operation at this time.

Hadn’t she planned to do it abroad at the weekend?

Did she know something?

Seeing that Jeremy lowered his head and was lost in thought, Cole patted him. “What are you thinking about? Drive! You must be here to see Babe. Let’s go to the hospital together.”

“Okay.” Jeremy’s eyes twinkled. He looked up and suppressed his thoughts. The car made a U-turn and left the parking lot.

In the hospital, Amber was having the congee bought by Jared.

She had just done the operation, so she couldn’t only take some light dishes.

Jared was calling Ben on the phone beside her, talking business.

When he hung up the phone, Amber stirred the congee in the bowl and said expressionlessly, “Since you are busy with work, you should go back to your company. You don’t have to stay here all the time.”

Jared looked at her and wanted to tell her that he was worried about her.

However, he truly needed to deal with the matter in the company.

After hesitating for a while, he decided to go back to work first.

Jared put away his phone and looked at her affectionately. “All right. I’ll come here in the evening. Call me if you need anything.”

Amber didn’t answer, only having the congee.

Jared looked down in disappointment. He heaved a sigh, picked up his jacket, and walked out of the ward.

Amber didn’t spare him a glance from the beginning to the end.

Jared walked out of the inpatient building. He stood downstairs and stared at a window for a moment. Then he walked away without looking back.

Mrs. Gardner had seen the whole scene.

She wondered why he was here.

Soon, she recalled seeing Jared rushed into the emergency room with Amber. Hence, she understood that Amber must be in the hospital, and Jared came to see her.

Since Amber was in the hospital, Mrs. Gardner thought she must be seriously ill. She wondered what was wrong with Amber.

As she thought, she went to the inpatient department, walked to the nurse station, and asked, “Excuse me, Miss. The gentlemen that just went out, could you tell me whom he was visiting?”
