Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber) novel Chapter 70

"What's the reason?" Cole asked. His words indicated his confusion.

Amber held her forehead and said with a sullen face, "Jared's questions have something to do with Makenna's situation. Maybe Makenna went missing because she got kidnapped and the kidnapper might be someone we know."

"Huh?" He got surprised.

She continued, "It has been a while since what happened in the resort. But Jared asked us how many people we had told about this matter, while Makenna is in the emergency room. It's pretty obvious. He doubted that we wanted revenge so much that we asked someone to kidnap Makenna."

This was why she felt heartbroken when seeing Jared's suspicious gaze.

Hearing her analysis, he instantly understood everything. With eyes flickering, he said, "It's all finished. You told him that Jeremy was the only one who knew that matter. He must think Jeremy was the one who kidnapped Makenna and caused her to go to the emergency room."

"In fact, I was wondering if Jeremy actually did this thing. Besides us, only Jeremy knew. Well, I have to ask him personally," she said.

She took out her phone from her bag, found Jeremy's number and dialed it.

Cole glanced at her secretly with a touch of imperceptible guilt in his eyes.

Soon the phone call came through.

Jeremy sounded a bit tired, "Amber, ahem, it's so late. What you do want?"

"Jeremy, are you sick?" Hearing the coughing over the phone, she instantly became worried.

He smiled weakly and said, "It's freezing here and it's an outdoor shooting, so I accidentally catch a cold. Ahem ahem..."

"Did you see a doctor? Have you taken the medicine?" she asked with concern.

Her words warmed his heart. "Yes, and I have taken my medicine. Don't worry, Amber. I will be fine in a couple of days. Don't worry. Ahem ahem..."

"How can I not worry about it? What if you got inflammation when you keep coughing like this?" She rubbed her face in annoyance.

Back then when she and her father first went to Ensford Town, they met the sick little Jeremy. The little boy was curling up on a shabby bed, coughing violently. She and her father hurriedly took him to the hospital.

The doctor said he had pulmonary edema and inflammation in his lungs. If he was taken to the hospital a little too late, he would have been dead. Now she heard him coughing again; how could she feel at ease?

"Give me your address later. I will send you some medicine that suits your conditions," she said decisively.

He smiled, "Okay. I got it."

"Alright, I want to ask you something." She looked a bit better on the face.

"Okay. Go ahead."

"The other day I told you that Makenna caused me to get hurt. You still remember that, right?" She slightly frowned.

Cole drove while listening with open ears.

A trace of uneasiness flashed in Jeremy's eyes. "Yes. What's wrong?"

"Makenna has been missing for a while tonight and she is in hospital now. Jeremy, tell me honestly. Did you do this?" she asked directly.

He just kept smiling, "No. I am so far away from Olkmore City. How am I able to do this? Amber, what made you think that I did it?"

"Jared asked me about it and I wondered if it had something to do with you." She told him the conversation she had with Jared at the hospital and then apologized, "I am sorry, Jeremy. I should not have suspected you."

"Amber, it's okay. I can understand. Since Mr. Farrell asked like that, it was easy for you to associate it with me. But I really didn't do it."

"I believe in you."

Cole wanted to give Jeremy a thumb-up.

Thinking of Jeremy's gentleness and those puppy eyes, Amber easily believed him.

But Cole would not be deceived. He knew Jeremy was most probably the one behind this matter. After all, he had once seen Jeremy's true face. Still, he wanted to praise Jeremy for doing such a good job!

Amber chatted with Jeremy for a few more words and then hung up the phone.

She put the phone back in her bag. "I am relieved to know that Jeremy did not do it. Jared can't do anything to Jeremy."
