âIsnât this Celiaâs voice?â Amber turned his head slightly and saw Celia and Shannon coming in from another door, wearing sunglasses.
âYou donât have to wait in line,â Shannon replied.
âIf you are afraid of waiting in line, come Club Cobalt. Anyway, you have Aunt Itzel. Why are you so early?â Celia was a little unhappy. Last night, she just went home in the middle of the night. Early in the morning, she was pulled up by Shannon to check her body. She had a good dream and was full of resentment.
âLetâs take a look at your health first. The sooner, the better. Idiot!â Shannon said as she grabbed her daughterâs hand and hurried upstairs. The mother and daughter were in a hurry and did not see Amber standing beside the bulletin board at all.
Amber heard the conversation between the mother and daughter clearly. âAunt Itzel? Itzel is in the hospitalâs expert clinic. Are they referring to Itzel?â
Aunt Itzel called Celia so intimately. Was Itzel very familiar with them?
It was almost time for Amber to go upstairs. The seer was on the second floor, and the seer was on the third floor. Amber saw Shannon and her daughter go up to the third floor.
She went straight to the orthopedics clinic on the second floor. When the doctor heard that she was going to have a blood test, he gave her a list and asked her to have a blood test. Soon, Amber went to have a blood test. The doctor asked her to come over at noon to get the list.
Seeing that it was still early, Amber went outside to wait. She did not go far. There was a small garden between the hospital ward building and the clinic building. There were rockery, spray pools, flowers and trees. It was quiet and the scenery was good.
Amber went to the garden. She sat by the sink, reading the news with her phone.
Sure enough, it was quiet here. Amber watched the news for a while, and suddenly heard a familiar voice. âWhat were you doing just now with a straight face? What did you think of Itzel? She did it for your own good.â
Her seat was blocked by a rockery. Amber could see Celia and her daughter, but they couldnât see her.
âI canât be happy!â Celia replied.
âNo matter how unhappy you are, you have to be happy. This time, you are lucky. You can have your period. This time, we can check the necessary check-up of the period together. When the period is cleaned, we will check it again.â
Celia was extremely impatient. âItâs so annoying. Havenât these been checked before? Why do they have to be checked this time?â
âMy enemy, I checked it out three years ago, but now three years have passed. If you donât check it out, what will you do?â
Shannon tried to comfort her. âThis is for your own good. Please be more troublesome. We have to make sure that nothing will go wrong!â
âWhen I saw Itzelâs face, I panicked. Mom, can we go to another hospital? I donât want to deal with her at all.â Celia still looked unhappy.
âNo, I can only leave this matter to her. Iâm not worried about others.â
âWhy do you trust her so much? She is so vicious that she can hurt her niece. Iâm afraid that she will do something to me.â
âItâs different. Donât worry. She wonât do harm to anyone.â Shannon comforted her daughter. âHold on. Remember to smile at her.
Donât be sad, okay?â
Celia reluctantly agreed to leave with Shannon. Amber was very surprised. What did the mother and daughter want to do in the hospital? From their conversation, it seemed that they were dissatisfied with Itzel. They said that Itzel was vicious to her niece.
As far as she knew, Itzel had no relatives. Who was her niece?
Was there any check-up needed to be done at the same time during the period and during the period of menstruation? Did Celia have any cervical diseases?
Rodney said that he agreed to be engaged to Celia because Itzel said that Celia could not have a baby. Could it be that Celia came to the hospital to treat infertility?
There were so many questions lingering in her mind that Amber couldnât figure them out. After sitting in the garden for a while, she saw that it was about time, so she got up and went to the hospital.
Amber took the test sheet and went to the doctorâs clinic to have a look. The doctor looked at the list and told her, âLook at the test sheet and make sure that you are not online!â
Amber was overjoyed. He thanked the doctor and hurried out of the hospital. At the gate of the hospital, she couldnât wait to call Pierce. âPierce, Iâm pregnant!â
âReally!â Pierceâs voice changed as soon as he heard it. He was completely surprised. âThank God, we donât have to worry about it anymore!â
âThatâs right. Thank God for giving me hope. My son can be saved!â Amber also felt that it was not easy.
âMom, when will you come back?â Mel interrupted.
âJust for a few days, my good son. Mom will come to accompany you soon!â Amber kissed the phone, and Melâs voice came from the other side.
âMom, come back quickly. Uncle Pierce has a surprise for you!â
âWhat surprise?â
âI canât tell you now. Iâll tell you when you come back!â
âThis guy is mysterious.â Amber smiled.
After hanging up the phone, she found that there were a few missed calls from Rodney. Rodney had been eating with Kelsey last night, and now he finally remembered to call her.
Amber ignored him. He waved his hand to stop the taxi and went back to Scent Villa.
Hanging up the phone, Mel shook Pierceâs hand. âUncle Pierce, I didnât tell mom about the surprise just now. You have to reward me!â
Mel looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, like the brightest star in the starry sky. Pierce smiled, picked up Mel, and kissed her. Then he walked around the house.
Mel giggled, and his laughter filled the room. He finally had a father! When he first heard about it, he was very happy. He wanted a father and a father like Uncle Pierce. Now this matter was about to come true, and he was really happy.
Pierce got tired and put Mel down. Mel nestled in his arms. âUncle Pierce, you wonât change your mind, will you?â
Pierce reached out and rubbed his hair. He said dotingly, âDonât worry. When did Uncle Pierce lie to you?â
âYes! Uncle Pierce, youâre the best!â Mel smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a line.
In the Scent Villa.
Amber took a taxi back here and began to pack up as soon as he entered the door.
She had expected that there would be a day today. She didnât bring many things with her, so it was very convenient for her to pack them up. But in less than ten minutes, she packed them up.
Looking at the packed luggage, her heart was filled with joy and a faint sense of loss. She looked around the house again.
Looking at the familiar layout, she couldnât help but be stunned when she thought of what Rodney had said to her here.
If he hadnât lied to her last night, he wouldnât have returned home last night, and that phone call...
Perhaps today, she would really be with Rodney, and then tell him Melâs background, and then...
âHow is that possible...â She shook her head and patted her face. âAmber, wake up. Donât be fooled by the superficial things again. Otherwise, you will regret it.â
She was reminding herself not to sink into the mud again. That man was no longer worthy of her trust.
Amber walked out of here resolutely. The most important thing for her now was Melâs illness.
Amber soon went to the airport. She was so lucky that she bought a ticket from the counter. Sitting in the lounge, she took out her mobile phone and called Noemi. âIâm back in the United States.â
âYouâre pregnant?â Noemi was stunned and then understood. She sighed and said, âAre you going to give up on him?â
Subconsciously, she still hoped that she would stay, but her happiness...
âI canât say that I gave up. I havenât had any hope since three years ago. If it werenât for the child, I wouldnât have...â
Noemi also understood what she meant. âWell, what about you and Pierce? He has really been very kind to you for so many years.â
Sometimes, people would be jealous of Amber. Not to mention Rodneyâs various situations, just Pierce alone was enough to make people want to throw themselves into his arms immediately.
Amber shook his head unconsciously. âI donât deserve him.â
He was sure that he would be forced into a dead end.
Hanging up the phone, she was a little absent-minded. Under Noemiâs number was Rodneyâs. Her fingers, which she wanted to press the button to get through, turned a little white because she had used too much force.
After a while, she pressed the call button and said hesitantly, âHello...â She felt dry in her mouth.
âAmber, whatâs wrong?â Rodney was actually a little excited that she had taken the initiative to call him.
However, he didnât speak for a long time on the other end of the phone. Suddenly, he felt scared. He seemed to have foreseen something in such silence. âAmber, what are you talking about?â He urged hurriedly.
âIâm leaving. Iâll take the plane back to America in ten minutes.â This time, she didnât want to hide it. Everyone broke up.
Rodneyâs fingertips turned white, and he clenched his fists tightly. âWhy? Is it because of Pierce?â
He didnât even need to think about mentioning that personâs name. For so many years, he still had to stay between them.
âYes.â He didnât want to explain too much, but he unconsciously put his hand on his lower abdomen.
âHow can you treat me like this? You promised me! You said that we would start from the beginning...â The pen in his hand was cut into the skin and flesh, but he did not know that blood was overflowing silently.
Amber smiled coldly, and the emptiness in his heart kept expanding. âReally? But I donât believe you... In fact, I gave you a chance... Unfortunately... we still missed it.â
She missed the past, missed each other, and she didnât want to continue today.
After that, he hung up the phone, closed his eyes, and silently swallowed the emptiness in his heart.
âEveryone, nice to meet you. The flight to the US is about to take off...â The radio was broadcasting again and again.
Amber stood up and walked to the ticket check, with the hope of Mel.
When Kelsey walked into the office, she saw the absent-minded Rodney. âRodney, whatâs wrong with your hand?â
She sent the documents here and was about to go abroad. She had been doing business management for the past few days.
Rodney raised his head and looked at her. The corner of his lips curled into a pale smile that made one feel despair. âWeâre done for.â
âBig Rodney... whatâs wrong with you?â
This sentence made him faint for no reason.
...
âMom!â As soon as Mel saw her mom, she was overjoyed and ran over.
Amber got rid of all his worries when he saw Mel. He opened his arms and hugged her tightly.
âDid you miss your mother?â she asked happily.
The child nodded desperately in her arms. âMom, I am very obedient. I came to pick you up today with the permission of the doctor.â
Amberâs heart ached as he let go of him. He almost forgot that he was still a patient.
âYes, Iâve consulted the doctor. He was allowed to come out.â Pierce walked over, still handsome. He seemed to always have such a refreshing smile on his face.
Amber held Melâs hand and stood up. âPierce.â
Long time no see!
âLetâs go back!â It was always Pierceâs style of doing things.
