After Amber took the blanket, she unfolded it and covered Jared with it.
Besides, Amber asked Ben to turn on the heating in the study. Only then was she relieved.
Ben was relieved to see her being so considerate toward Jared.
Jared's dedication to Amber finally paid off.
Amber didn't know what Ben was thinking. She sat beside Jared and looked at him sideways.
Jared's face was very red because of the alcohol, but under his eyelids, it was blue and black. Obviously, he had been drinking all night without sleeping.
Fortunately, all he drank was some red wine. Otherwise, he would have been in the hospital or died.
Thinking of this, Amber couldn't help shivering.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Amber pulled herself together and took the phone out of her handbag.
It was from Georgia. She must want to know how Jared was going.
Amber answered it without hesitation. "Grandma."
"Amber, have you seen Jared?" On the other end of the phone, Georgia asked eagerly.
Amber nodded. "Yes."
"Well, that's great. How is he now? Did he self-harm?" Georgia clenched her cane and asked again.
Amber looked down at Jared. "He was drunk, but he hasn't self-harmed."
"Really?" Georgia couldn't believe it.
After all, every time Jared was drinking, he resorted to self-harm if he couldn't drown his sorrows.
Therefore, hearing what Amber said, Georgia thought it was a little unbelievable.
"Yes." Amber nodded. "According to Ben, Jared got drunk before he could self-harm."
"This is impossible!" Georgia stood up.
Amber was shocked. "Grandma, what's the matter?"
Georgia asked with a strange look, "Amber, tell me what kind of alcohol Jared drank?"
"It's red wine," Amber answered without hesitation.
Ben's expression changed as he clenched his fists nervously.
Different from Amber, Georgia knew that Jared wouldn't get drunk with red wine.
Nonetheless, Jared was drunk, which would arouse Georgia's suspicions.
As expected, hearing Amber's answer, Georgia squeezed her phone. "This is impossible. Jared has a good alcohol tolerance, so he shouldn't be drunk with red wine. Amber, is Ben around you?"
"Yes." Amber glanced at Ben.
Georgia sullenly said, "Give him the phone. I have something to ask him."
"Okay, wait a second." Amber handed the phone to Ben. "Ben, Grandma wants you to answer the phone."
Ben knew he couldn't hide the truth from Georgia anymore. After taking a deep breath, he took the phone with a forced smile. "Lady Georgia, what can I do for you."
Ben walked out of the study.
Amber looked at his back in confusion, wondering why he went out.
But Amber didn't think much about it. After finishing Jared's hair, she got up and went to the bathroom, ready to get some water and wipe his face.
On the balcony, Ben closed the balcony door before saying, "Lady Georgia, Mr. Farrell was indeed drunk with red wine."
"Ben Channing, stop lying to me!" On the other end of the phone, Georgia said with a long face, "Jared never gets drunk with red wine, so tell me whether he hides some spirits?"
"No." Ben shook his head. "Lady Georgia, Mr. Farrell didn't buy any spirits."
"Then tell me why he gets drunk?" Georgia asked angrily.
