Jared frown. She deleted his number?
Amber was about to hang up after receiving no response, when she heard a man's voice on the other end said, "It's me."
Amber's pen-fiddling hand froze in mid-air, and she stared at the number on the screen and recognized it now!
Despite the fact that she deleted all of his contacts after their divorce, she still remembered his phone number.
"Is there anything I can assist you with, Mr. Farrell?" She said, taking a deep breath.
Jared's face clouded as he heard her cold tone when she realized it was him. She was gentle just now, when she thought he was a stranger!
"I call to apologize," he said, concealing his irritation.
"Apologize?" Amber said as she tossed the pen on the table and leaned back. "Mr. Farrell, what did you apologize for?"
"I'm sorry my mother troubled you," Jared apologized.
"Oh, for your mother," Amber sneered. "You’ve already apologized for your fiancé and your mother, so I assume you'll have to apologize on behalf of your brother next, huh?"
"There won't be another," Jared said coldly.
"Don't be too sure about that; I know how troublesome the Farrells can be, particularly your mother." Amber couldn't help but roll her eyes when she mentioned Shonna, "Mr. Farrell, there's a question I've been meaning to ask for a long time, mind if I ask now?"
"Go ahead," Jared replied as he adjusted his earpiece.
"Are you related to your mother biologically?" Amber inquired, one hand supporting her chin.
Shonna was a shrew, and no matter how exquisite she looked, her demeanor was shrewish.
It was difficult to believe that someone like her could have given birth to someone like Jared.
"Why did you ask?" Jared said, a little puzzled.
Amber shrugged and said, "Just out of curiosity."
As he turned the sterling wheel, Jared said, "Yes, we are biologically related."
Amber groaned with despair, thinking that it may be a hereditary abnormality.
"All right then, I have no more questions," she said, "But please keep your mother under control; I don't want to see her barking like a mad dog in front of my door ever again."
Barking like a mad dog? "Mind your language, Amber," Jared said, slightly irritated.
"What's wrong with my language?" Amber burst out laughing. "Perhaps you should reflect on how you and your family had treated me during our six-year marriage. What gives you the right to demand respect from me. Who do you think you are?" She hung up as soon as she finished speaking.
The beep in his earphones indicated that the call had been terminated.
"How you and your family treated me during our six-year marriage," Jared rubbed his forehead as Amber's words resonated in his ears.
He felt a huge weight on his heart as he remembered how they had treated Amber previously.
While thinking about all of this, he arrived at the hospital. Before stepping in, he parked the car and lingered inside for a while.
Makenna was watching TV in the VIP ward, while Mrs. Gardner was peeling an apple beside the bed.
When she heard someone knocking on the door, she glanced up and said with a smile, "Makenna, guess who's here?"
Makenna turned to the door and was surprised when she saw Jared, "Jared..." her eyes welled up and she ran towards him.
