Philip Barlow said, âNo, come back first. Someone will take him back to the Gregory familyâs house when the time comes.â
After the call, Philip Barlow looked at his son. âWilliam, donât misunderstand Jasper if you want to be with her in the future. When sheâs in trouble, donât just stand by and watch.â
âI wonât stand by and watch. Iâll do my best to help Jasper if sheâs ever in trouble!â the little one said earnestly.
Philip Barlow smiled. âThatâs great!â
He just hoped his son would remember what he said today no matter what happened in the future.
Amber Mitchell did not expect George Gregory to come to her door drunk.
âGeorge Gregory, itâs late. Iâm going to bed!â Amber Mitchell said coldly, trying to close the door.
However, his hand was on the door, preventing her from closing it.
âDonât⦠Donât close the door. I⦠I just⦠came to see you⦠I⦠Iâd like to have a word with you.
Donât⦠Donât worry. I wonât do anything else. I wonât⦠I wonât hurt you anymoreâ¦â he stammered. He reeked of alcohol and was drunk.
Amber Mitchell frowned. âHow much did he drink?â
Amber Mitchell said, âBut I donât want to see you, and I donât have anything to say to you! George Gregory, if you want to get into a drunken fit, donât do it here. If you really donât want to hurt me, donât ever show up in front of me again.â
Her words were like a slap in the face.
His body swayed. âCan⦠Can you give me another punishment? Donât do this. I⦠canât do it. I canâtâ¦â
âCanât? She sneered suddenly. âWhy canât you do it? Mr. Gregory, you never came to see me when I was in the hospital for so many years!â
He was speechless and began to tremble as if he had been.
struck with the sharpest sword.
âAmby⦠I know. Iâm sorry. Iâm sorryâ¦â he whispered. It was the most painful sorrow.
However, no amount of apology was of use. âI told you to stop calling me Amby. You shouldnât be the one to call me that.â
âPlease forgive me, will you? I know how wrong I was. I know Iâve hurt you too much. Iâll make up for all that youâve suffered, okay?â He sobbed after losing control of his emotions. He hugged her as if he were holding his most precious treasure.
âGeorge Gregory, let go of me!â Amber Mitchell struggled hard.
However, he held her tight. âIâll make it up to you. I can make it up to you. Iâll make it up to you as long as you say so! Amby, I love you. I really love youâ¦â
âLove? George Gregory, who are you to talk about love? If this is the way you love someone, I would rather you never loved me! Do you know how disgusting it is to be held by someone you hate?â Amber Mitchell shouted.
His body stiffened, and she took the opportunity to push him away.
Slap!
He was slapped hard across the face.
âMake it up? How are you going to make it up to me? Can you prevent me from ever being tortured in the mental hospital?
Or can you return me my missing finger?â Amber Mitchell said as she raised her right hand in front of George Gregory.
Her right ring finger was missing.
