Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber) novel Chapter 487

"You can go back to work now," Jared said, rubbing his temples.

Ben was worried when looking at his pale face, so he stood motionlessly. "Are you really OK, Mr. Farrell? Shall we go to see the doctor now? Dr. Lansdale permitted you to leave the hospital only if you rest home, but you were unwilling. You came to work as soon as leaving the hospital. I'm afraid your heart cannot stand the heavy workload, so..."

"I'm fine. I know what I am doing," Jared interrupted him. He picked up his glass and took a sip of water. "If I can't bear it, I can go to the hospital myself."

"All right. Please call me whenever you need anything. Excuse me." Ben heaved a sigh, took a few steps back, turned around, and walked out of the office.

After he was gone, Jared put down the glass, pulled a drawer open, and found a bottle of pills. He poured two pills into his palm and swallowed them without water expressionlessly.

Then he closed the bottle cap. His cold fingers fiddled with the bottle, a glint of self-mockery appearing in his eyes.

The pill was for curing heart disease.

He used to take it for more than twenty years. He had thought he didn't need to take the pill anymore.

However, it had been only six years. Now, he had to retake it again.

Jared didn't regret it, though. If everything happened again, he would still jump off the cliff to save Amber.

Thinking of that, he exhaled gently and tossed the bottle back into the drawer. Then he pushed it close, picked up the pen, and continued to work.

In the afternoon, he received a call from the hospital and was informed to do a reexamination there.

Jared delayed some unimportant appointments in the afternoon and went to the hospital with Ben.

When they arrived at the Farrell Group's parking lot, Jared paused his pace suddenly in front of his car. He looked ahead in surprise.

Ben didn't know what had happened. Seeing him pause, Ben also paused and asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Farrell?"

"Amber is here," Jared answered in a low voice, looking at the woman next to his car.

Upon hearing it, Ben walked out behind him and followed his gaze. Sure enough, he saw Amber.

"That's Ms. Reed for real. Why is she here?" Ben was confused.

Jared squinted in silence. Then he lifted his foot to walk forward.

Amber, who was reading something on her phone, heard their footsteps. She raised her head, looked in their direction, and saw them. Instantly, she stood upright and turned to face Jared. "Hi, Mr. Farrell."

"What do you want?" Jared looked at her and asked expressionlessly.

Amber frowned.

He was still as cold as two days ago.

"I'm here for an answer." Amber looked at him.

Jared pressed his lips together, looking at her in confusion. "What answer?"

Amber explained, "You suddenly didn't want me to take care of you. Mr. Farrell, I want to know why."

She didn't care if he had given up on her, and she didn't want to know the reason.

However, she was bothered because he stopped her from taking care of him.

She wondered if she had done something wrong, so he did so.

Also, he didn't let her take care of him, which stopped her from repaying his favor.

Although Ben told her it was unnecessary, she still insisted.

If she didn't repay, she would become a villain who only accepted others' help but never returned her kindness.

Anyway, she wouldn't want to become that kind of person.
