Chapter 108: Chapter 110

The next day, the old lady went to the hospital to visit Amber. Amber’s feet had recovered a lot after being treated by a doctor.

Pierce and Mel were also there.

The three of them were playing games, and the ward was full of laughter. Looking at their happy faces, the old lady stood at the door and looked at all this with mixed feelings. If she hadn’t stopped Amber and Pierce back then, they would have definitely been together. Their children should have been young!

The three of them were so happy that they found the old lady and stopped playing the game. “Grandma, why are you here?”

Pierce greeted her.

The old lady walked in and smiled at Amber. “How do you feel?”

“It’s much better after treatment. I don’t think there’s a need for me to stay in the hospital.”

“No, let’s listen to the doctor’s observation in the hospital for a few more days.” Pierce interrupted.

“Let’s observe her in the hospital for a while. Don’t worry, we’ll be there for her.” The old lady was very kind.

After staying in the hospital for a while, the old lady said goodbye, and Pierce sent her away. At the gate of the hospital, the old lady took her grandson’s hand and said, “Don’t stay in the hospital all day long because you are so busy with work. Grandma, call your aunt to take care of Amber.”

“Grandma, don’t worry. Things in the company won’t be delayed.” Pierce smiled. “Amber and I are good friends. Amber was injured because of you. As the eldest grandson of the Hammond family, it’s impossible for me to stay in the hospital.”

The old lady’s expression changed slightly when she heard that. The meaning of her grandson’s words seemed to remind her not to forget that Amber had saved her. Did he want her to agree that Amber was with him? The old lady was a little unhappy and went home unhappily.

When she got home, the old lady was sitting on the sofa and lost in thought. She had lived for a long time and experienced too many things, but she had never thought that one day she would be so embarrassed.

She didn’t hate Amber completely, but she felt uncomfortable because she made her grandson look like this. However, when Amber saved her regardless of his safety, she suddenly found that her attitude toward Amber had changed and she felt pity for her. However, when she saw that her grandson and Amber were happy with each other today, she felt uncomfortable again.

Although Breanna was not a proper person, there was one thing that was right. If Amber took the opportunity to ask her for help and wanted to be with Pierce, would he oppose it or not?

The old lady’s heart was very uneasy. As the saying goes, people’s hearts are unpredictable. She was afraid that Amber would save her with another purpose. Just when the old lady was thinking about it, Amber bought a plane ticket and was ready to return to the country.

The day after tomorrow was her mother’s death anniversary. She had to go back to sweep her mother’s grave.

Amber’s sudden return made the old lady feel a little guilty. She had judged the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

She felt very guilty and rushed to see Amber off.

Seeing her grandson holding Mel in his arms and bidding farewell to Amber, the old lady suddenly felt touched. They were supposed to be a good couple, but because they were on different sides, she found herself very cruel for the first time.

When Amber entered the security check, she couldn’t help holding Amber’s hand and said something that surprised her, “Amber, if you like Pierce, go ahead and like him. I won’t object to it anymore!”

Sitting on the plane, Amber kept thinking about the old lady’s words. It was undeniable that the old lady said these words from the bottom of her heart, but the words came at the wrong time.

If the old lady had said this seven years ago, she would have been ecstatic. But now, after so many hardships, she really did not have the courage to love anyone.

Her only hope now was that her son could grow up healthy and happy. As long as Mel was fine, she was willing to suffer more and suffer more.

The plane landed safely at the South City Airport. Amber walked out of the security check and took a car back to the rented place. She reported Mel’s condition to Ashton, but did not mention that she had been kidnapped.

Hearing that Mel was in good health, Ashton was very happy. They talked for a while, and then Amber returned to the Black family.

On the way back, she had already thought about it. It was time to face Rodney. During this period of time abroad, there were countless missed calls from the country. These numbers were all strange numbers.

Amber guessed that these phone calls must be the masterpiece of Rodney. She had put his number into the blacklist. If he couldn’t get through, he would definitely understand, so he changed his number and wanted to call her.

Of course, Amber wouldn’t pay attention to Rodney. The purpose of her going abroad was to get rid of his entanglement.

However, for Mel’s sake, she had no choice but to pester him. The date of her interaction was coming soon. No matter how much she hated this man, she had to compromise for her son’s sake.

Amber pushed open the door of the Black family’s house and saw Celia and Rodney sitting on the sofa in the living room. Of course, Channing and Shannon were indispensable.

The four of them were all talking with smiles on their faces. It seemed that they were very happy.

Her appearance disturbed the harmony of the family. Celia stood up first and said, “Sister, you are finally back.”

These words were very intimate, as if she missed her very much. Amber ignored them and went upstairs with his luggage. After taking a shower, he went downstairs. Channing had just ordered to start eating.

Amber got up and took the lead to go to the restaurant. The table was full of delicious dishes. Celia told Aunt Maleah, “Aunt Maleah, fill the soup first. Drinking the soup before the meal can make you lose weight.”

Aunt Maleah followed Aunt Maleah’s words and filled everyone’s bowls with soup. Amber had a cold smile on his face. When he was not divorced with Rodney, he had been serving her soup before the meal, saying that drinking soup before the meal could make her lose weight.

After keeping a good figure, she was used to drinking soup before the meal. She didn’t expect that Rodney and Celia would also put the blame on Celia.

Aunt Maleah put the soup in front of Amber, but she didn’t take the soup. Instead, she pushed the soup aside. “Aunt Maleah, I’m not used to drinking soup before the meal! Help me get the rice first.”

“Okay.” Aunt Maleah quickly removed the soup and changed the meal.

Celia interrupted, “Sister, I remember that you used to like to eat soup before dinner, didn’t you?”

Amber didn’t look at Celia. He slowly pulled a mouthful of rice from his mouth and chewed it down before saying anything.

“I used to drink soup because I loved beauty and wanted to lose weight. Now I find that I’m a little silly. People who really love each other will never give up even if they become ugly.”

Rodney’s eyes darkened. Amber’s stomach had always been poor and he refused to take medicine. That was why he told her that she could lose weight if she took the soup before the meal and told her to drink the soup obediently.

But he didn’t expect that Amber never understood his painstaking efforts. She said that the person who really loved her wouldn’t dislike her fat.

Channing took a sip of soup and looked at his daughter. “Did you go abroad to see Pierce this time?”

Amber didn’t say anything, but Shannon asked, “Did the old lady of the Hammond family make things difficult for you?”

Amber put down his chopsticks. How could she let Shannon take advantage of him? “Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Black.

Grandma Tang didn’t make things difficult for me. She said that if I like Pierce, I can rest assured and she won’t stop me anymore!”

Channing had a look of pleasant surprise on his face when he heard that. He was also aware of what had happened between Pierce and Amber.

Back then, they didn’t get together because of Madam Hammond’s opposition, and Pierce hadn’t married for the sake of his daughter for so many years. If Madam Hammond really didn’t object, wouldn’t it be a good thing? The Hammond family was so big that Pierce’s love for his daughter was clear. It would be great if they could be together.

Thinking of this, Channing cleared his throat. “When will you bring Pierce to the house to have a look?”

“We’ll talk about it when we have time in the future!” Amber replied ambiguously. She had just told Old Grandma the truth. As for whether others believed it or not, it had nothing to do with her.

Rodney’s knuckles, which were holding the chopsticks, were clear. He tried hard to hold back the anger that was about to spread out in his chest and picked up a piece of duck meat for Celia beside him. “The duck meat is nourishing. Celia, eat more.”

Celia was flattered. Amber looked at Rodney and Celia with a smile. “Brother-in-law is so nice to my sister!”

This was the first time that Amber had addressed Celia as his younger sister. However, it was in such a situation that Rodney choked on a mouthful of rice and couldn’t catch his breath for a long time.

At that moment, Channing had just picked up a piece of duck meat from Amber’s bowl. Amber pulled out the duck meat that Channing had just given him. “Please don’t pick up this greasy fat for me. It’s very disgusting, okay?”

Celia sweetly put the duck meat that Rodney gave her into her mouth and ate it sweetly. However, when she heard Amber’s words, she suddenly felt a little disgusting.

After dinner, Amber made an excuse that he was very tired and went upstairs to rest. Rodney came here after hearing that Amber had come back, but he didn’t expect that he would be half-dead because he didn’t say a word. He knew that there was no chance tonight, so he sat for a while, got up, and left.

The next morning, Amber changed his clothes and went out of the door.

Her mother’s grave was on the mountain in the west of the city. It was far away. After several cars, Amber finally came to the west of the city. She bought incense candles and flowers at the foot of the mountain and walked up the mountain.

From a distance, she saw flowers in front of her mother’s tombstone. They were not chrysanthemums, but bright roses. Amber approached her in confusion. Her mother liked roses very much when she was alive. Who was the person who sent the roses?

Was it Channing? Thinking about it, he shook his head. How could Channing be so infatuated?

Amber cleaned up the weeds beside him and lit the incense. He sat quietly in front of the tombstone and stared at his mother’s face.

Her mother’s smile was so bright and dazzling. Having experienced the taste of betrayal, she naturally knew her mother’s despair and pain at that time. She could not help but ask softly, “Mom, have you ever regretted it?”

Her mother looked at her with a smile, as gentle as before. Amber reached out to touch her mother’s face. “You’re so stupid to lose your life for such a unworthy man and leave your young daughter behind. You’re so stupid!”

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and a surprised voice sounded. “Ashley?”
