Chapter 35: Chapter 36

“I’m telling the truth! Amber Stone, if you had trusted me a bit more, would this have happened? I’m telling you, in this whole issue, you’re not innocent and I’m not innocent. The most innocent person is Celia. She has suffered everything she shouldn’t have!”

Amber instantly became furious when she heard Rodney’s opinion of Celia. “Innocent? If Celia was innocent, there would be no innocent person in this world,” thought Amber.

Celia clearly knew that Rodney was her man, but she was still eager to get close to him and get pregnant. Celia and her b*tchy mother were the same, they were the most despicable women in the whole wide world. It could be imagined how much Rodney had been poisoned to speak up for a b*tch. “Perhaps, he loves Celia very much!” thought Amber. Her heart ached a little. She had promised herself that she would not be angry or sad about it, but she really couldn’t bear it.

“Mr. Barron, are you here to vindicate your mistress? You seem to have looked for the wrong person, am I right? I’m just telling the truth. If you have the ability, go and shut the netizens up instead of looking for me. It’s pointless to come after me.”

“How can you be so cold-blooded? Are you still the Amber Stone that I know?”

“Just mind your own business. Whether I’m cold-blooded or not, it has nothing to do with you. For me, you’re just the past!”

Rodney could clearly see the mocking look on Amber’s face. The words, “you’re just the past”, provoked him. He reached out and grabbed her by her chin. “Don’t regret it, you sharp-tongued woman!”

“What are you doing?” Amber was shocked by this suggestive posture for a moment. This man used to be very lustful for her, he wasn’t wanting to do it now, was he?

“You’ll know what I’m going to do soon!” He went closer to her fiercely and their faces were so close to each other. Amber was shocked and reached out to block Rodney. “Stay away from me!”

Looking at her crimsoned cheeks and delicate lips, Rodney became a little dazed. He had actually forgotten why he came to look for her. The delicate lips that he saw in front of him was exactly the same as the one in his memory.

In the past, she used to say his name over and over again with her delicate lips. Back then, she would always cling onto his neck and stand on tiptoe to give him kisses....

Many memories of the past had occupied his mind in an instant and he suddenly felt a great passion gushing up in his heart.

Holding her chin, he kissed her fiercely.

Soft and pillowy, that kind of feeling was too wonderful! After suppressing for three years, any normal man would be thirsty.

Rodney was like a starving wolf, aggressively rubbing her delicate lips with his own.

Amber was shocked by his sudden behaviour. She whimpered and reached out to push him off, but how could she even move him an inch away? It was an outburst after a long time of suppression, Rodney had lost his mind. His big hands wandered around her body with no scruples. Amber was terrified by his madness. Not only was she terrified, she felt very disgusted.

Who knew how many times he had sex with Celia. It was fine when she didn’t know. Now that she knew that he had slept with another woman, she definitely wouldn’t allow him to harass her. Hence, she struggled desperately using her hands and feet. She tried scratching, biting and even slapping him.

In the past, Amber had always been tender and lovable when she was in his arms. But now, she was extremely fierce. No one knew how many times Rodney’s face had been slapped, but he just wouldn’t let go, pressing her down unyielding.

Amber was unable to break free. Thinking that she’ll fight till death, she bent her legs to kick him in the groin. Rodney was in pain and instantly let go of her. Amber seized the opportunity to open the door and tried to escape.

Rodney had become extremely angry. This woman was too cruel, she actually kicked him in the balls with her leg. It seemed that she didn’t want to let him live!

Even if he did something wrong back then, he was only guilty towards Celia. Towards Amber, he had a clear conscience. He just wanted his family to be in harmony and didn’t want her to be tortured by his mother. Why couldn’t she understand his difficulties?

Compared to his mistakes, she was even more unforgivable. What right did she have to treat him like this? Rodney’s heart was burning with anger. Without any thoughts, he reached out to grab Amber and dragged her back.

Because he exerted too much force, Amber’s leg got stuck between the car door suddenly and she screamed.

This scream made Rodney let go of Amber’s hand in an instant and Amber rolled onto the ground. She groaned while hugging her leg. It was too painful, as if her leg was fractured. Tears rolled down her cheeks at once.

...

Rodney also jumped out of the car to hold her and she slapped him across the cheek. “B*stard! What the hell do you want?”

“Amber! Where does it hurt?” Rodney couldn’t care less about the slap, he was all anxious.

“My leg... it hurts... it’s f*cking painful!”

“I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to do that! I’ll bring you to the hospital right away!”

Amber didn’t want to let Rodney send her to the hospital at all, but it was really too painful. She thought that her leg must have been fractured. The pain caused her face to be full of tears, and that caused Rodney heartache.

He carried Amber into the car and drove as fast as he could to the hospital. On the way, Amber kept groaning. Every time she groaned, his heart would twitch as well.

On the way, he had called up the medical director of the hospital. “My wife injured her leg. Quickly, arrange a doctor to wait at the hospital!”

The medical director of the hospital quickly agreed and made a phone call immediately to order an orthopaedist to be ready at the hospital at once.

After hanging up the phone, the medical director recalled what Rodney had just said and suddenly felt a little confused. “Isn’t Mr.

Barron single? When did he have a wife? Right, young people nowadays like to address each other as ‘wifey’ and ‘hubby’ when they are merely dating. Mr. Barron must be catching up with this trend too,” thought the medical director.

The medical director suddenly had an urge to pry. “Who is the person addressed as ‘wife’ by Mr. Barron?” he wondered.

When the car arrived at the entrance of the hospital, Rodney carried Amber in his arms and ran into the building. The authoritative doctor of the orthopaedics department was already there, waiting for them. Rodney followed Amber into the examination room. The doctor checked Amber’s ankle. It was severely sprained and squeezed by the car door. Obvious bruises can be seen on her fair leg, it was a shocking sight.

Rodney was very guilty and blamed himself, saying, “It’s all my fault! If it wasn’t for me, this wouldn’t have happened!”

Amber gritted her teeth with tears welling up in her eyes. She was embarrassed to cry in front of so many people, so she just gritted her teeth while tears welled up in her eyes. Rodney reached out his hand towards her and said, “It will be better if you bite my hand.”

“It’s dirty!” Amber uttered with hatred.

Rodney immediately washed his hands and stretched it out to her again. “It’s not dirty now!”

Amber glared at him with hatred. She said that his hand was dirty not because it was not washed, but because this hand had held Celia’s hand who knew how many times.

Amber hated her own thoughts at this moment. Since they had divorced and were already strangers, what right did she have to care about whose hands he held and who he slept with?

She held back the disgust in her heart and bit his hand hardly. Rodney grimaced in pain, but he did not struggle.

Seeing this, the examining doctor gave him a thumbs-up and said, “Mr. Barron, you’re a real man! You treat your girlfriend so well!”

Hearing that, Amber immediately let go of Rodney’s hand and clarified, “I’m not his girlfriend!”

“Sorry, my mistake!” apologised the doctor. Everyone knew that Mr. Barron’s girlfriend was Celia. How could he be confused?

“She’s my wife!” Rodney added. The doctor’s eyes widened, but Rodney didn’t care. He continued to reach out his hand to Amber and said, “Amber, you can continue to bite!”

“You pervert! Disgusting!” Amber turned her face away and ignored him.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the examination room. An urgent voice asked, “Dr. Smith, Dr.

Smith, are you in there?”

Then, the door was suddenly pushed open. Zoe Harper appeared at the door. She stopped talking in an instant when she saw Rodney, who was standing in the examination room. And her eyes widened when she saw Amber.

Rodney frowned and the nurse next to him said, “There is a patient undergoing examination here. Please, leave the room.”

Zoe went out. Her boyfriend had a fight with someone at the bar tonight and had fractured bones. When they were sent to the hospital, she heard that the orthopaedics specialist doctor of the hospital, Dr. Smith, was at the hospital currently. She rushed over and wanted to beg Dr. Smith to examine her boyfriend, but she didn’t expect to see Rodney and Amber.

“Why did Rodney and Amber Stone show up here?” Zoe wondered. Her concern for her boyfriend had been majorly overshadowed by the sudden discovery of the situation. “Did Rodney and Amber get back together?”

“Thinking about it, it seems impossible. Didn’t Celia mention that she and Rodney are about to get engaged soon? Did I not see properly just now? That woman isn’t Amber?”

No, she had to get to the bottom of it. If it was really Amber, she had to tell Celia what she had discovered. Celia was her livelihood. If she tells her such big news, she would definitely give her some benefits.

At the thought of this, Zoe did not go far, but stood outside and waited. Not long after, the door of the examination room opened and Rodney came out, carrying Amber in his arms.

Amber’s ankle was sprained. After the examination, the doctor applied a specific medication for sprained injuries and advised her to rest at home for a few days. Rodney heaved out a sigh of relief and wanted to carry Amber out of the examination room.

Amber was very uncooperative towards his embrace. Seeing them in disharmony, the doctor reminded, “Don’t simply move. It will worsen your injury.”

After hearing the doctor’s words, Amber didn’t dare to struggle anymore. She behaved herself and allowed Rodney to carry her out of the examination room.

Zoe took out her phone and dialled when she saw Rodney carrying Amber out of the room.

Celia had fallen asleep and was awakened by the phone call. Seeing the number displayed on the phone screen, she impatiently answered the call, “What’s the matter?”

“Celia! Bad news!” Zoe lowered her voice. “I saw Rodney and Amber Stone at the hospital just now!”

At first, Celia was mad because her beauty sleep was disturbed. But she sat up instantly after hearing what Zoe said. “Are you sure?”

“Yes, I saw it very clearly. Rodney was carrying Amber out of the hospital, then they got in the car and left. I don’t know where they will go. Celia, do you want to go and have a look?”

“For what? Do you think it’s appropriate for me to go there right now?” Celia asked in return fiercely.

“It’s not appropriate... but do we just let them be?”

“Let me think about it! Let me think about it!” Celia muttered to herself on the phone. Was everything that she was worried about going to happen for real?
