Amanda was trembling with rage, and her voice was full of humiliation, "What do you mean by that, Darren? What do you take me for? A promiscuous woman?"
"You, Miss Amanda Cheng, are not that kind of woman who is willing to make out with others casually. Ordinary people can't afford to have sex with you, right? I spent so much to get you. How much should Lionel pay me so that I won't lose my cost?" Seeing that she was angry, Darren said with more anger.
He just stood behind the glass window and saw that Lionel drove her home. She specially asked leave and carefully dressed. What made him more unbearable was that she came back with her clothes changed. Who dared to touch his woman? He wouldn't allow his wife, even though just a title, to break the rule. He thought it was necessary to let her know what the rule was.
"Lionel is not as despicable as you are. Don't think that you can get all the women in the world by money even if you have Rose already. I'm not one of them. I'm not interested in your dirty thoughts at all." Amanda tried to shove Darren away. But her hand hit his heart unintentionally. This made Darren feel a sharp pain in his chest. By reflex, he got rid of Amanda.
Amanda fell on to the cold and hard ground. This feeling was like being thrown to the ground at Cheng family as well, The sharp pain didn't make her feel painful, but made her laugh.
The An family and the Cheng family had been trying to swallow her in one gulp.
Darren frowned and asked in a bad tone, "What are you laughing at?"
Amanda stood up and felt a stream of heat coming out of her lower body. She immediately pushed Darren away and rushed to the bathroom.
Darren kicked the door of the bathroom and said, "I haven't finished yet, Amanda, come out now."
Amanda collapsed into the toilet, covering her aching belly. As she listened to the door being kicked by Darren, she couldn't hold back her tears any more. The pain all came from the little baby who wasn't protected by her. Outside the door, the person who was humiliating her with words was the baby's father.
Maybe the child didn't want to experience such a tragedy, so he chose to leave in such a miserable way.
All of a sudden, Amanda's phone rang. She took out her phone and found it was from her uncle. Although Amanda was full of resentment, she had to take it.
Her uncle said in a deep voice on the other end of the line, "Amanda, I just got a call from the hospital and said that Sheryl's condition was not very good. Do you want to sign the critically ill notice, or want us to do it?"
She clenched the phone and said through gritted teeth, "I'll figure it out. Be good to Sheryl, or I won't let you go."
"I've heard too much of this. Amanda, as you know, Cheng family needs me to handle so many documents. The withdrawal of investment from Mr. Darren has increased our workload. Please understand me. After all, we are a family. We should have the answer for hospital before 9 o'clock tonight. Don't give me a hard time." Simon sighed on the phone hypocritically.
Amanda hung up the phone. Her heart ached every time she thought of Sheryl, who had been struggling for life. She would do anything to save Sheryl.
She walked to the mirror and looked at the woman's pale face in the mirror. Her eyes were deadly quiet. She smiled slightly, but the tears in her eyes were pulled. Then Amanda filled the wash basin with cold water and washed her face.
When she opened the door, Darren had left, so she was alone in the room.
The light in the study at the end of the corridor was dimmed. Amanda went to find Darren, knocked the door, but there was no response.
After waiting for a while, Amanda knocked at the door again. There was no response from the study.
