âWhat⦠What happened to her finger? She used to have all ten fingers!â Kyla said quickly.
Grace said, âShe had already lost it when she was admitted to the mental hospital eight years ago. We donât know how she lost it.â
âI⦠Iâm going to Deer City. I want to meet Amber Mitchell!â said Kyla.
Martin Weiss rejected. âNo! Youâre not in the right shape to travel.â
âBut I must go. I must find a way to get Amber Mitchell out!â said Kyla.
âIf you want to release Amber Mitchell, I can get someone to check her condition and assess her mental state before making the appropriate arrangements. But you canât go. What will you and the baby do if sheâs mentally ill and attacks you?â Martin Weiss said.
âAmber Mitchell isnât mentally ill. How could she be? Something must have gone wrong! Didnât Jacqueline Bowman say Amber Mitchell is living a life more miserable than death? Yes⦠Jacqueline Bowman might know something! If Amber Mitchell is only an ordinary patient, why would Jacqueline Bowman use the phrase âmore miserable than deathâ?â Kyla said.
However, Martin Weiss still said, âWhatever it is, I can find someone to take care of the matter in Deer City while you stay in Emerald City.â
Kyla suddenly reached out and grasped Martin Weissâs sleeve. âMartin, please, let me go to Deer City. I canât be at case until I see Amber Mitchell with my own eyes! I want to see her. I want to ask her whatâs going on. I want to bring her out of there!â
Kyla sobbed with teary eyes.
Martin Weiss was silent.
Grace said, âMr. Weiss, why donât you let Kyla go to Deer City? She canât take care of herself and the baby in Emerald City without worrying if she doesnât go. Iâll speak to a maternity hospital in Deer City and ask the doctor in charge of Kyla to give them her medical reports for thorough preparation.â
Grace understood how Kyla felt. If she were in Kylaâs position, she would probably rush to Deer City immediately!
âWhatâs more, even if you donât let Kyla go, sheâll find a way to go by herself. Wouldnât it be better to agree to it than to increase the risk?â Grace added.
Martin Weiss gazed at Kylaâs pained and anxious face.
âDoes she care about Amber Mitchell that much? Sheâs so panicked after just learning a small piece of news about Amber Mitchell. Has she ever worried about me like this?â
Martin Weiss tried to think⦠if she had ever been in pain and gotten anxious for him. She had only shown such an expression when he went to save her after she was kidnapped by Mr. Lambert.
At that time, he mistakenly thought she had feelings for him.
However, he later realized he was only imagining things.
He already knew the gap in importance between him and Amber Mitchell to her, right? If he were half as important to her as Amber Mitchell was to her, she would never have let him be so disheartened that he would willingly choose to hypnotize himself so that he could forget his feelings for her.
âSince youâre so desperate to go, I wonât stop you. But Iâll go with you,â said Martin Weiss.
âYouâre coming too?â Kyla paused.
