Georgia fainted when Ben told her about Jared's heart disease.
Amber couldn't read her mind, but she immediately stood up to take an apologetic bow to Georgia for the accident. "I'm sorry to upset you, Grandma."
Amber originally thought Georgia fainted because of the abrupt news.
Jared and she had decided to keep it under wraps because Georgia might not take this fact.
"Grandma, Talon from the Rylands family kidnapped me to threaten Jeremy, but Jared was unluckily involved. He almost sacrificed his life for me. I'm really, really sorry to almost kill your grandson." Amber looked at Georgia with a guilty look.
Georgia gestured her up. "Amber, you don't have to apologize. I know everything, so you didn't drag Jared into this or let him jump off the cliff on purpose. He wanted it, so I don't blame you for this."
"Really?" Amber looked up at Georgia.
Georgia smiled while shaking her head, "Of course. As I said, this's what Jared wants. So, you shouldn't take the blame. I'm not one of those cranky old guys. And look at you guys! You've survived."
Amber's heart melted, and she sat down again. "Even so, I still feel bad."
"Don't be," Georgia patted the back of her hand to comfort her, "Actually, I'm very gratified that he did that. He loves you, so if he doesn't even save you, then I will despise him. He was in no position to love you, and the Farrells never raise a coward."
"Well... Isn't it a little too much?" Amber felt a bit embarrassed.
Georgia shook her head. "Of course not. The Farrell's men are brave. They can give up everything for what they love and never back down, just like his great grandfather, his grandfather, even his father Hendrik... Even though I don't like Shonna, I have to admit that Hendrik loved her so wholeheartedly that he was willing to give up his career and all to just be a nobody."
Amber nodded.
The Farrell's men all seemed to be knights in shining armor.
Georgia continued, "They're all devoted to love. When your grandfather and I were young, we've been through a lot. He almost lost his life to saving me no matter how hard I persuaded him to give up. So, how would I blame you since we have the same experience?"
"Grandma..." Amber's eyes burned with tears.
It felt really good to be understood.
Georgia smiled. "What? "Are you going to cry?"
"No," Amber lowered her head in embarrassment and wiped her eyes. Then she changed the topic. "Oh right, Grandma, where were we?"
She looked back at Georgia.
Georgia tucked her hair behind her ears and explained, "Well, just off the top of my head, I'm afraid the same thing would happen again. I know you love Jared and want to give him a chance. But he did hurt you. So, if you love him out of gratitude, I'm afraid this won't last long and you guys can't do things together in the future. You won't be happy. But if you love him, I mean truly love him, I'll be reassured."
