Love Letters From My EX

Jeremy parted his thin lips but couldn’t utter any sound. Evidently, he wanted to ask this question.

Amber held a chair and sat down. “Jared told me so. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to know it. I had thought we were just like sister and brother. I had never expected you to…”

She didn’t finish her words, but Jeremy knew what she meant.

His face turned livid.

It turned out that Jared had told her so.

However, he believed it was better to let Amber know about his feelings to her. Otherwise, he would keep wondering how to confess his love to her so she wouldn’t be scared.

“Jared Farrell was right. I don’t take you as my elder sister. Instead, I love you like a man loves a woman. I poisoned you because I couldn’t accept you are pregnant with another man’s baby. However…”

Jeremy looked at her and continued, “However, I also didn’t want you to be looked down upon by others. Amber, I know I shouldn’t have poisoned you, but I didn’t mean to harm you. The drug would only impact the baby in your belly instead of yourself.”

Right now, he called her name in a loving tone instead.

“Think you haven’t harmed me, huh?” Amber smiled in self-mockery. “No, you have. You broke my heart, Jeremy.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

She pointed at her chest. “You poisoned me. It didn’t mean only that you had got rid of my baby, but it was also a betrayal to me, understand? I trusted you and Cole the most besides my grandfather. However, it turned out you had poisoned me. If I’ve done something you can’t accept in the future, will you do it to me again?”

Jeremy looked solemn in silence.

Seeing that, Amber felt a chill.

It seemed he would do it indeed.

Jeremy also realized that his reaction had exposed his thought and scared Amber. His expression changed, and he said hurriedly, “Amber, I…”

“All right. Stop it, Jeremy. Please leave. I need to be by myself.” Amber turned around and withdrew her gaze on him.

Jeremy panicked when seeing she was so distant to him, looking a bit ferocious.

Shortly, he calmed down and put on a normal look. He looked down and answered, “Okay, Amber.”

He turned around, lowered his head, and walked to the door. Amber couldn’t see his expression at all.

When the door was open, Jeremy almost bumped into the man there.

Fortunately, the man reacted quickly and took a step back.

Jeremy glanced at him coldly and bypassed him.

Elias looked at his back, raising his eyebrows and curling up his lips into a smile. Then he entered the ward.

“I hadn’t expected the man who poisoned you was him,” Elias said, leaning against the wall next to the door.

Amber’s eyelashes trembled. “Have you overheard it?”

“Sort of.” Elias raised his chin.

Amber said with a bitter smile, “Exactly. I never thought Jeremy had poisoned me.”

He couldn’t accept the baby in her belly, so he poisoned her, although it wasn’t a lethal poison and wouldn’t harm her much.

Jeremy’s ruthlessness scared her.

Suddenly, Amber didn’t think she had known Jeremy well.

That last time when she went to Ensford Town to see Jeremy, it was ten years ago. He was only fifteen or sixteen, the same age as Logan.

Besides, one would always grow up and change. No one would remain the same. Jared had changed, and so did she and Jeremy.

Moreover, she had separated from Jeremy for ten years. She had no idea what Jeremy had experienced in the past ten years. How could she know him well? Amber realized that she had been too conceited that she thought she knew him well.

Looking at Amber’s disappointing face, Elias pushed his glasses up. “Although I’m surprised to find out Jeremy has done it, it’s within my expectation.”

“What do you mean?” Amber looked up at him.

Elias put his hands in the pockets of his white gown. “Don’t you know it? Jeremy has a serious psychological disorder. He has an almost abnormal desire for possession and control for the person and thing that he likes. Hence, I’m not surprised about what he has done to you. He has already suppressed his desire for possession and control before doing it.”

Upon hearing his words, Amber gaped. She couldn’t speak until several seconds later, “What did you say? Does Jeremy have a psychological disorder?”

“It seems you truly don’t know.” Elias shrugged.

Amber swallowed hard and shook her head, “I’ve never known it. I can’t see he has a psychological disorder at all…”

“He has been hiding it well. The side of him you’ve seen is faked. He deliberately let you see this side. His real personality was dark and sick,” said Elias.

Amber’s heart hammered. Evidently, she couldn’t keep calm after hearing his words.

She had never known the Jeremy she had seen turned out a fake side of him.

How could she think she cared about Jeremy the most?

“By the way.” Suddenly, Amber thought of something, and her body tightened. Looking at Elias, she said, “You just said Jeremy had suppressed his desire before poisoning me. Did you mean if he hadn’t done it, he wouldn’t have poisoned me only and would do more hurtful things, right?”

“Sort of. As for how severe it can be, you can search it online to see what a sick and dark man can do. It will be mind-blowing,” said Elias. Light reflected on his glasses.

Amber searched it online. When reading the extreme movements of men with psychological disorders, she couldn’t help shivering.

“Is Jeremy’s sickness… so serious?” Amber took a deep breath.

Elias put away his leisure look and became solemn. “No worries, Amber. I won’t let Jeremy hurt you. After all, he can’t compare to a psychopath.”

“What?” Amber titled her head.

Elias smiled at her. “Nothing.”

He was born without compassion or fear, so others thought he was a psychopath and a monster.

In fact, he was a psychopath indeed, and he knew it well himself. He had an abnormal thirst for blood. Life meant nothing to him. He could do ruthless things to achieve a specific goal.

Jeremy couldn’t. Although a sick and dark man could do similar things, he had weaknesses, which was the thing or the person that he was persistent with. A psychopath didn’t have it. Hence, Jeremy couldn’t win against him.

Amber didn’t know what was in Elias’ mind. Biting her lower lip and hesitating for a while, she asked, “Dr. Lansdale, can Jeremy be cured?”

Elias was a psychological doctor, so she asked him for an answer.

Elias nodded. “Of course, but only if he’s willing to accept the treatment himself. If I force him to get cured, it’ll cause a negative effect, and his sickness will worsen.”

“I see. I’ll try my best to convince him.” Amber rubbed her temples.

Elias shrugged. “Okay. Wish you luck. By the way, I’ll give you a checkup now.”

Amber hummed and went to lie down on the bed.

On the other side, the Farrell Group.

Jared walked out of the meeting room after dealing with the issue. He pulled out his phone to see if Amber had called him earlier.

After all, he asked her to call him if she needed anything.

She was in the hospital, so he guessed she must need help. Probably, she had called him.

Jared turned on his phone expectantly.

A message popped. It was from Amber.

Jared’s eyes lit up. He was pretty irritated by the company issues, but, his mood was lifted the moment he saw the message.

He hurriedly tabbed to read Amber’s message.

However, it was only a money transaction notice that said “thx for the meal”. His faced instantly turned even gloomier.
