Amber also smiled. But her smile faded when she thought of something. Amber looked at the woman in the wheelchair a few feet away and said mockingly, "But I'm not the only one Mr. Farrell will see when he wakes up."
"What?" Ben froze for a moment, then he instantly understood and turned to look at that woman with an unfriendly expression.
Amber decided to reveal that woman's true colors.
She had tried to be nice but had been ignored. Hence, Amber didn't want to be polite, either.
"This young lady had been taking care of Jared until I came in. After knowing I was Jared's girlfriend, she even tried to chase me out. She said that it was her fault. She'd like to stay here and take care of Jared until he recovers. If I refuse, she'll feel guilty forever and even end her life."
Hearing Amber's words, Ben's lips twitched.
Had such a dramatic story happened while he was away?
Ben looked at the woman with an even more unfriendly expression. "No wonder you suddenly asked me if Mr. Farrell had a girlfriend outside the emergency room. You have a crush on Mr. Farrell."
"I didn't." The woman looked flustered and quickly shook her head to deny it.
However, her crimson face had betrayed her.
Amber frowned in disgust. "Ben, she's left to you. I don't want to see her again."
Who would want to see a woman who tried to steal her boyfriend? Unless she wanted to cause trouble for herself.
"OK, Ms. Reed." Ben nodded with a stern look. Then, he said apologetically, "Ms. Reed, I'm really sorry. It wasn't me letting her in. She sneaked in herself. Before I left, I specifically warned her not to enter the ward. I didn't expect… Ms. Reed, please believe Mr. Farrell. He had nothing to do with this woman at all! I hope you don't take this the wrong way."
Ben was very worried. If Ms. Reed misunderstood that Mr. Farrell had an affair with another woman and broke up with Mr. Farrell, he would be in big trouble.
And when Mr. Farrell woke up and found out that his wife was gone again, Ben believed that he was dead.
Amber could tell what Ben was worried about. She covered her mouth and smiled. "Don't worry, Ben. I won't. When I came in, Jared was still unconscious. He knew nothing about this lady's actions."
If Jared had been awakened and he had still let this woman stay with him, Amber would definitely be pissed off.
Having heard Amber's reply, Ben heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good. I'll take her out first. Ms. Reed, please just stay here. Mr. Farrell is fine. He fainted because he got hit on the back of his head, and he can be discharged tomorrow."
"I know. You've told me before." Amber nodded.
"I'm afraid you've forgotten." Ben pushed up his glasses and smiled. But then he quickly changed his face when turning to the woman. He pushed her wheelchair, and they went out together.
The woman had kept her head down in silence after hearing what Amber said just now. She no longer acted like a bitch, as if she really felt ashamed.
But Amber didn't believe it.
After all, a bitch wouldn't ever feel ashamed.
Amber knew she must be making other plans.
But Amber didn't overthink it. When Jared woke up tomorrow, this woman would be sent away anyway.
By then, she would never see this woman again, so there was no need to think too much.
But somehow, she felt that the woman looked very familiar. It seemed that they had met somewhere before.
Where?
Amber lowered her eyes and thought for a while but failed. She decided not to think about it. She tucked Jared in and gradually fell asleep sitting by the bed.
She was so tired. Her body had been sore, and the worry about Jared also made her restless and nervous.
Now that she saw Jared was OK, her heart and body finally relaxed.
Then, she felt sleepy.
Hence, Amber chose to sleep but not wait until Jared woke up.
