Chapter 127: Chapter 129

“Did the child fall from the sky?” Amber sneered.

“Are there many ways in this world to give birth to a child only by having sex?” Rodney asked back.

“Are you saying that it’s artificial?” Amber came to his senses and looked at Rodney in surprise.

Rodney nodded. “It’s artificial, and the sperm isn’t mine!”

Amber’s eyes widened. “How is that possible?”

“At that time, I was forced by my mother. She wanted me to divorce you. I had no choice. I wanted to give her a grandson in order to ensure the safety of our family. I asked Deon to find the sperm from the sperm library.”

“Impossible!” Amber didn’t believe it at all. “Are you lying? Rodney, do you think that there’s no way to investigate all of this and that’s why you’re lying?”

“I didn’t, Amber. I’ve never touched Celia. I had no choice but to divorce you. My mother threatened me with her life, so I forced you to sign that contract. I thought you wouldn’t accept it, but I didn’t expect you to leave without telling me...”

Amber couldn’t believe it at all. After staring at Rodney for a while, she suddenly shook her head and said, “Rodney, don’t lie to me. I don’t believe it. I really don’t believe it!”

How could she believe that her husband, who had been regarded as cheating for many years, had told her that he had never cheated on her. Everything was a misunderstanding. How could she believe it?

“You must be playing tricks. Rodney, I know I can’t beat you. I admit defeat. Anyway, I am your lover now. You can do whatever you want. There is no need to make up a story to fool me like this!”

“Amber, I really didn’t lie to you. I didn’t mean to make you believe me immediately. I’ve seen people’s hearts for a long time. You can see my performance.”

“If you really have nothing to do with Celia, why did you get engaged to her? Why did you treat me like that when I called you and asked you to reconcile?”

“I was too impulsive. At that time, you refused to forgive me and had a bad relationship with my mother. And Celia had difficulty in giving birth because of the miscarriage. At that time, I was desperate. I thought that if you didn’t want me, I would be engaged to her, just like anyone else.”

Rodney explained the engagement with Celia. “Later, I took Celia to see a famous native medicine practitioner. He said that Celia’s condition was not so serious, and she would be fine after recovering, so I...”

“Why does it sound so incredible?” Amber was in a mess. He didn’t know if she should choose to believe Rodney’s words or forgive him.

Rodney reached out to hold her hand. “Amber, time has seen. I don’t want you to forgive me immediately. I only want you to give me a chance. Let’s start over again!”

Oaths were never trustworthy. After so many vicissitudes of life, Amber found it hard to believe Rodney. At present, it was not that she did not believe that Rodney loved her, but that she had her own things to do. Amber avoided Rodney’s eager eyes and took his hand from his hand. “Rodney, if what you said is true, then I will give you a chance. On the contrary...”

“Amber, what I said is true. As long as you give me a chance, I will never let you down this time!”

Rodney’s words were firm and sincere, just like what he had said when he proposed to her, but Amber knew that she would never trust him again.

They had missed too much and could never go back to the past.

She wouldn’t hold onto an illusion that Rodney would truly love her, that she would really let him reunite with her, and that she would give her child a home. The hardships she had experienced gave her a clear head. She knew very well what her purpose was and what she wanted. Hence, she was no longer stupid. She would no longer have any unrealistic dreams because of any of his actions.

However, Rodney seemed to believe that she would forgive him. Once again, he reached out to hold her in his hand. Amber was actually very resistant to him. But now was not the time to be pretentious. No matter where his son’s illness was, it was nothing compared to his son’s illness.

Thinking of her son, she controlled herself to let Rodney hold her hand. Rodney was apologizing to her, but Amber was a little absent-minded. She thought of her son. She hadn’t called him for two days. She didn’t know how he was doing now.

While she was in a daze, Rodney had already held her in his arms. Amber raised his head and looked at him. Rodney’s eyes were as gentle as water. She looked at him in a daze. She didn’t know what he was saying. The next second, his lips touched hers.

After that, she sighed and helped her to the bed to cover herself with the quilt. She sat by the bed and looked at it for a while before leaving gently. When she returned to her room, Shannon called Itzel.

Itzel, who had called at this time, was very surprised. She lowered her voice and asked, “What happened again?”

“You didn’t watch TV?”

“No, Reece is sick today. I don’t have time.”

Shannon repeated Rodney’s words on TV. “What should we do now?”

Itzel complained, “I didn’t think it was appropriate for you to do this at the beginning. Now, I have no choice but to lift a stone and hit my own foot. I can’t do anything about it. At this point, if I really can’t do it, I can only give up!”

“If you can give up on me, why are you in such a hurry? This girl is so stupid. She said that she would die if she didn’t have Rodney. She has been struggling for so long. I’m so worried. I have no other choice but to beg you. Help me think of a way!”

Itzel was silent for a while. “I’ll go and find Rachel to see what she wants. Don’t let Celia and Rodney meet in the next few days.

Wait for my news.”

After hanging up the phone, Shannon sighed heavily. Channing was lying in the hospital, and Celia was making trouble like this.

It was really uncomfortable for her to live such a comfortable life.

It was all thanks to Amber. It was all Amber’s fault. She couldn’t let him off so easily. This time, she had to torture him to death.

Even if Rodney and Celia couldn’t be together, she couldn’t reconcile with him!

Shannon was worried about her daughter, so she went to Celia’s room to accompany her. At dawn, Celia woke up and saw her mother standing at the head of the bed with dark eyes. She couldn’t help crying with Shannon in her arms. “Mom, I made you worry! I’m sorry!”

Shannon patted her on the back gently. “It’s not the last moment yet. Don’t be discouraged. I can hold on to it even after nine years of wandering outside with you. What are you afraid of? Don’t say no to me unless it’s the last moment!”

Celia nodded. After a night of rest, she had recovered. She was able to quickly adapt to the blow, which was very similar to that of her and Shannon.

“From today on, you will go to the hospital to take care of your father. If Rodney calls you and asks you to meet him, you must not see him. Let’s talk about it after this period of time.”

“I’ll listen to you.” Celia promised.

Celia went to the hospital with the soup that had already been prepared. Channing was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed. When he heard the voice, he opened his eyes. When he saw that it was Celia, he seemed to be a little surprised. “Where is your mother?”

“Mom didn’t sleep last night. I asked her to rest at home. I’ll take care of you,” Celia replied. Her voice sounded calm, but her red and swollen eyes were so striking. Channing just looked at Celia for a while and sighed.

This incident caused quite a stir. The result of Rodney’s treatment was undoubtedly the best. Not only could he seal everyone’s mouths and restore his little daughter’s reputation to normal, but he could also get along well with his eldest daughter. It was just that he pitied his little daughter.

Celia handed him the soup she brought. “Dad, drink the soup.”

Channing just took a few sips of the soup and handed the bowl to Celia. He sighed slightly and said, “Celia, let’s go.”

“Dad!” Celia burst into tears.

“Don’t cry. I know I’ve wronged you. I’ll make it up to you in the future.” Channing tried to comfort him.
