As soon as Jared heard his words, his dimmed eyes had a ray of light.
He slightly raised his head. "For real?"
"Of course!" Logan answered. He lowered his head, feeling a sense of guilt, though.
Amber did come over to see Jared, but he had dragged her here. She didn't want to come over at all.
However, Logan didn't plan to tell Jared about this truth. Otherwise, Jared would be disappointed.
Fortunately, Jared was too delighted to hear that Amer had been here, so he didn't look at Logan at all.
Otherwise, Logan would be exposed due to his poor acting skills.
Jared smiled faintly. Thinking about Amber's visit yesterday, he even didn't feel the pain in his back.
Amber had seen him.
Jared wondered if he could bold hope it was because she cared about him.
As he thought, he heard some footsteps outside the ward.
Logan turned around. Through the transparent glass walls, he saw people coming to the ward.
"Jared, Dr. Lansdale and Grandma are coming," he reminded Jared.
Jared put away the joy in his heart and looked up.
Georgia entered the ward first. With a solemn look, she asked, "Jared, do you hate me? Do you hate me for beating you up?"
Jared couldn't get up, but he could move his neck.
He slightly shook his head and answered hoarsely in a low voice, "No, I don't. I made mistakes. I deserved the punishment."
After all, he hadn't realized that he loved Amber when divorcing her. Besides, he had sex with Amber when he still had a fiancée. He did make mistakes.
To be serious, he even broke the law.
Upon hearing his answer, Georgia looked gentler. "Good. Elias, please check him up."
"Yes, Lady Georgia." Elias pushed up his glasses and stepped up.
Ten minutes later, he took off the gloves stained with blood. Looking at Jared, whose forehead was covered with sweat and face was paled in pain, he said with a smile, "Lady Georgia, I've finished checking up Mr. Farrell. He could feel the pain clearly, so there was no problem with the nerves, muscles, and tissues on his back. He'll be recovered if he's taken good care of. However, the whips would leave scars on his back."
"It doesn't matter. A man can accept it. They are not on his face," Georgia glanced at Jared's back and said indifferently.
Elias smiled. "I agree. Okay. I'll leave the space to your family. Please excuse me."
After that, he put his hands in the pockets of his white gown and left the ward.
Only Jared, Georgia, and Logan were left in the ICU.
Georgia sat on the chair where Logan had just sat earlier. "Amber was here yesterday," she said.
"I know," Jared answered, looking quite gently.
Seeing that, Georgia heaved a sigh and added, "I chatted with her for a while. I can tell she doesn't love you anymore, Jared."
Earlier, she also asked if Amber still loved Jared and if they could be together again.
However, Amber gave her negative answers.
Georgia had thought Amber answered so because of her anger and impulse. Inwardly, Amber must still love Jared. After all, she had loved him for so many years. How could she stop it?
However, until yesterday, Georgia realized that Amber wasn't impulsive. She had always been serious.
Upon hearing Georgia's words, the joy because of Amber's visit vanished from Jared's heart. He felt so cold, as if he was in an ice cellar.
