Love Letters From My EX

“Why do you want to know?” The nurse looked at Mrs. Gardner.

The latter smiled gently and answered, “Here is the thing. I’m his relative. He kept going out in the last two days, so we were worried about him. I happened to see him here just now, so I wanted to ask about it and inform his family later, so they will be relieved.”

The nurse could tell Mrs. Gardner was different from ordinary people, so she thought the latter wasn’t lying. Off-guard, she answered, “His wife had an abortion. He was here to accompany her.”

“An abortion?” Mrs. Gardner gaped and exclaimed.

The nurse frowned. “Ma’am, this is the inpatient department. Please lower your voice.”

“I’m sorry. I’m just too shocked.” Mrs. Gardner put on a wry smile. When she turned around, astonishment was written all over her face.

She guessed Amber was pregnant with Jared’s baby.

When did that happen?

Mrs. Gardner gripped the insulation pail tightly. Her heart was racing.

When she saw Amber a few days ago, she recalled that her belly didn’t bulge, so she guessed that Amber hadn’t been pregnant for a long time. It should be less than three months.

Amber and Jared had divorced for almost three months. Hence, they slept again after they divorced, and Amber became pregnant.

If that was the case, Mrs. Gardner believed it was good news. Their Gardner family could ask the Farrell family for an explanation.

In the past few weeks, the Gardner family had been mocked and disdained because of Jared’s engagement cancellation.

The most important was that all the cooperation between the Trident Group and The Farrell Group had been terminated. The Trident Group’s ranking had become one of the twenty companies from the last. Later, due to Makenna’s slander for Amber, the company almost went bankrupt.

Mrs. Gardner believed those disasters were because the Farrell family had canceled the engagement. If not, the cooperation wouldn’t be terminated. Although Makenna had slandered Amber, the Trident Group wouldn’t go bankrupt now.

Hence, she must ask her husband to make a fuss about Jared’s disloyalty to Makenna so that the Farrell and the Gardner families would unite in marriage again. Even if not, at least, they must restore the partnership between the Trident Group and the Farrell Group again.

Thinking of that, Mrs. Gardner couldn’t help trembling in excitement.

In a hurry, she stopped a nurse passing by and bribed the nurse with four hundred dollars for more details about Amber’s pregnancy.

Soon, the nurse gave her the answer. Amber was pregnant for less than three months.

It meant Amber got pregnant after Jared had divorced her.

Mrs. Gardner was so excited. She called Trenton. “Hello, Trenton. I have good news.”

Trenton was bothered by the funds. He answered the call in a weak tone, “What is it?”

Mrs. Gardner told him what she had found.

Upon hearing it, Trenton became spirited instantly. He stood up. “Is it for real?”

“Yes.” Mrs. Gardner nodded.

Trenton walked back and forth excitedly in his office. “Great! Get a copy of Amber Reed’s medical report. We’ll go to the Farrell’s later.”

“Okay,” Mrs. Gardner answered.

After finishing the phone call, Mrs. Gardner put away her cell phone and trotted to Makenna’s ward happily.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Meanwhile, Amber’s ward.

Amber finished the congee and put the empty bowl on the nightstand. Suddenly, she saw the receipt of the congee and picked it up.

When she saw the price, she wired the money back to Jared.

Then she turned off the phone and didn’t care if Jared would reply to her or not.

There were knocks on the door.

Amber looked up. “Come in, please.”

The door was opened. Cole held a bouquet and entered with Jeremy, taking a basket of fruits.

“We are here to see you, Babe.” Cole grinned at Amber.

Jeremy also said with a gentle smile, “Hello, Amber.”

Seeing that, Amber felt less upset. She smiled at them. “Thanks for coming.”

“Here you go. Do you like them?” Cole gave her the bouquet.

Looking at the lilies, Amber smiled brightly. “Thanks for the flowers. I’ll leave the hospital tomorrow. I won’t stay here long.”

“It doesn’t matter how long you’ll stay here. We just want to show you our care.” Cole put the bouquet aside.

Jeremy also put down the fruits. “Would you like to have some fruits, Amber? I’ll go wash them.”

Amber checked on the basket and said, “Sure. Wash some strawberries.”

“Okay.” Jeremy unwrapped the basket and walked to the kitchen with a box of strawberries.

Amber was in a VIP ward, a one-bedroom suite with a living room, a kitchen, a balcony, and a bathroom, quite luxurious.

After Jeremy left, Cole pulled a chair and sat next to the bed. He put away his playful look and asked solemnly, “What on earth happened, Babe? Why did you suddenly change your mind to take the operation today?”

He suspected something had happened.

In the kitchen, Jeremy also overheard Cole’s question. He turned down the tap water and slowed down when washing the strawberries.

Amber recalled what Jared had told her earlier. He said that the person who had poisoned her might be Cole, Hayden, or Jeremy. Her smile faded. She looked down to cover the complicated expressions in her eyes and answered, “Nothing special. I accidentally fell, so I decided to do the operation today.”

“Is that right?” Cole looked at her in disbelief.

Amber nodded. “Of course. I’ve reserved the hospital to take the operation. Why do you think I would change my mind so suddenly? After I returned home yesterday, I fell by accident, and there was something wrong with the baby.”

As she spoke, she squinted at Cole naturally, trying to study changes in his expression.

The person who had poisoned her should know the hospital would detect the poison when checking up on her.

As she said so, the person who had poisoned her must feel weird and wonder why she hid the fact that she was poisoned. Then she could find the flaws.

Hence, Amber was testing to see if Cole was the one who had poisoned her.

However, after she gazed at him for a while, she didn’t find anything wrong.

Amber knew it wasn’t Cole who had poisoned her.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Honestly speaking, she didn’t expect either Cole or Jeremy to have poisoned her. Besides her grandfather, she trusted the two only.

Therefore, she never expected either of them to have poisoned her. Otherwise, she would think she had been so betrayed.

Now, she knew Cole wasn’t the suspect. Only Jeremy and Hayden were suspicious.

Inwardly, she prayed that Jeremy wouldn’t let her down.

Amber closed her eyes while praying.

Cole didn’t know what was in her mind. He tucked her into the quilt. “You were so careless. Even if you were upset, you should protect yourself. By the way, how did you come to the hospital after falling?”

“Right, Amber. Why didn’t you call Cole or me?” Jeremy echoed after finishing rinsing the strawberries in the kitchen.

Amber looked over at him. Her eyes twinkled, and the next second, she looked normal. With a smile, she said, “I directly called the ambulance. Then I fainted shortly after, so I didn’t have time to contact you guys. Sorry for worrying you.”

“When you told me you were in the hospital, I was almost scared to death.” Cole patted his chest exaggeratedly.

Jeremy also nodded. “So was I.”

Amber tossed her hair. “It won’t happen again.”

“That’s better.” Cole smiled again.

Amber pointed at the drawer. “Cole, please open the first draw for me.”

“What do you want?” Cole did it obediently and pulled it open.
