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 nightâs surrender was just a matter of interest. If it werenât for her son, she wouldnât 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 couldnât 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 Rodneyâs, but she didnât 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 Amberâs 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 Amberâs 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. âAmber, why havenât you come back yet?â
âAmber has gone abroad!â The auntie replied.
âHe went abroad?â Channing was stunned. âIs there anything urgent?â
âI donât know. Amber said that he wanted to stay abroad for a while.â The auntie said as she prepared to start the meal. Rodney sat on the sofa with an unchanged expression on his face. He didnât feel happy at all.
He didnât 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 didnât 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!
Soon, 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?
âMiss. Stone sent the child abroad for treatment and is currently matching the bone marrow.â
Since the child was sick, why didnât 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?
Didnât she know that the child needed his motherâs 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, âShe canât afford such expensive fruit for many years. Is it because she is short of money? It must be so.â
Deon couldnât help sighing when he saw Rodneyâs gloomy face. âMr. Barron, in fact, you shouldnât 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...â
Therefore, there was a reason for her to come to her motherâs house. Rodney knew about this, so he endured it when Amber quarreled with his mother and even beat her up.
âYou shouldnât have gotten engaged to Ms. Black so early!â Deon knew that Amber had always been in Rodneyâs heart.
Rodney didnât say anything. He was engaged to Celia not because of the quarrel between Amber and his mother, but because she said that good horses donât eat grass in return. She disliked him, but Celia couldnât give birth to children. He felt that she was pitiful. Since she couldnât get her beloved woman, it was better to make a desperate decision.
Rodneyâs eyes darkened a little. âHave you found out the identity of the person who took the child?â
âNo, the hospitalâs video is not clear, and that person is wearing a hat and mask, so we canât see his face clearly,â Deon replied.
This was a well-planned act! Other than the fact that his mother didnât want to see Amber appear here, who else wouldnât want to see her?
âIt canât be Madamâs order. I went to check all of Madamâs call records and the movements during that time, but I didnât find any clues.â
He believed that the person who carried the child in the hospital was not his motherâs doing. Although his mother was unreasonable and snobbish, she would not do such a vicious thing to throw the child into a ditch.
âItâs 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.â
Rodneyâs 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, âGo and find out what Celia and her daughter did in the past few days.â
Deon agreed and left.
After learning that Mel had leukemia, Rodney couldnât calm down all day. Melâs 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. âSon, why did you come back so early?â
Rodney looked at Rachel angrily. âMom, let me ask you something. Did you do it when Amberâs son was thrown into the stinking ditch?â
âNot me!â Rachel denied.
âReally?â Rodney was very agitated. Although he did not believe that his mother would do such a crazy thing, he was still worried.
If Deonâs investigation was wrong, this matter was really done by his mother. Amber would definitely not forgive him for the rest of his life.
âSon, I really didnât do such a thing. I donât have any deep hatred for Amber. I threatened her that I just didnât want to see you have anything to do with her. Besides, Iâm also a single mother. I know that the child is my motherâs lifeblood. How could I do such a crazy thing as throwing the child into the stinking ditch?â
Rachelâs words made Rodney let out a sigh of relief. It was good that she was not his mother.
âSon, why do you look so pale? What happened?â Rachel asked tentatively.
âNothing. I just feel that the child is pitiful. He lost his fatherâs love at such a young age...â Rodney stood up and swore, âI must find out who threw such a little child into the stinking ditch!â
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 picked it up. Riyaâs nervous voice came over. âMadam, bad news. Mr. Barron is investigating the matter of the child being taken away.â
âWhen?â Shannon was stunned.
âJust 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?â
âDonât worry, he wonât find it out.â Shannon comforted him. She had made a detailed arrangement for this matter, so she wouldnât 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, âDonât worry. Iâve already dealt with this matter. He wonât find it out. Just relax.â
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 Riyaâs son to do this.
Riyaâs son, Channingâs driver, Rodney, would not have thought of investigating the people around Channing.
Melâs 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 Amberâs arms. âMom, I am very brave. I didnât cry when I took the shot.â
Amber held Mel in his arms and kissed her again and again. âMy good son has suffered!â
Pierce looked at her thin face and knew that she must have been under a lot of pressure recently. âAmber, you donât have to worry too much. The doctor said that Melâs situation is not very bad. We have time.â
âHow can I not be worried?â 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 sonâs blocks. Pierce also joined them. The three of them were sitting on the carpet and playing happily. Pierceâs phone rang. He answered the phone and Breannaâs voice came. âBrother, Grandma asked you to go home for dinner tonight.â
âI donât have time tonight.â Pierce answered as he reached out to place the building blocks.
Breanna turned on the speaker and Madam Hammond heard Pierceâs answer. She motioned for Breanna to continue persuading her. Suddenly, a childish voice came from the other end of the line. âUncle Pierce, this is for you.â
Mel picked up a piece of block and handed it to Pierce. Then, she pointed to the block placed by Amber and said, âMom, this is the wrong one. It should be here.â
âSo smart!â Amber praised.
Hearing Amberâs voice coming from the other end of the line, the old ladyâs face darkened.
