At the clinic, the Doctor was treating Jared for burns on the back of his hand.
Amber stood beside him, her palms clasped, and she asked with a serious expression, "Doctor, is there something wrong with his hands?"
She heard that there were a lot of nerves on the hand, she was afraid that the nerves on his hand would have some kind of problem that would damage his ability to take care of himself.
In that case, she couldn't afford it. After all, he got hurt trying to save her.
Jared looked at Amber's furrowed brow and the unease in her eyes and whispered, "Don't worry, my hand will be fine."
Amber knew he was saying that on purpose, and she ignored him, she just looked at the Doctor, waiting for the Doctor's answer.
The Doctor threw away a bloody swab, "There's nothing wrong with his hands," he said. "It's not a lot of sulfuric acid on it. It just corrodes the flesh. It will grow over time, but it might leave a scar."
At the Doctor's words, Amber's heart finally fell back into place. "Good."
Jared's brows softened. "You see, I was right."
Amber gave him a dirty look.
Then her cell phone rang.
Amber pulled it out. It was Cole.
Without delay, she took her cell phone and headed for the door of the clinic.
Jared had just glimpsed Amber's caller ID, and when he saw her answer it, his face fell, and his hand on the table clenched as well
The doctor saw this, he pushed his reading glasses, "Well, gentleman, you need to relax your hand, I cannot dress your wound when you are holding it so tightly all of a sudden."
Jared frowned and finally released his tightly clenched right hand.
But his gaze, however, had been fixed at the clinic door in the dark.
Outside the clinic, Amber put her phone to her ear and answered. "Cole."
"Babe, are you okay?" Cole was on the other end of the call; he was just finishing a meeting when he heard his assistant say that an extremist had thrown acid at Amber, so he immediately called her.
"Is it true that you were attacked by sulfuric acid?" Cole gripped the phone tightly in both hands, his voice filled with tension and worry.
Amber nodded. "It's true."
"Are you hurt? Where are you hurt? Is It Serious?" When he heard her admit the fact, his heart nearly jumped out of his chest. He quickly asked a few more questions.
Amber listened to his unreserved concern for her, and her heart warmed, "Cole, you need to calm down first. I am fine. I was not hurt because someone saved me. Otherwise, how am I able to talk to you on the phone right now?"
Upon hearing this, Cole immediately sighed in relief and said, "That's good. That's good. I was So Scared!"
He put his hand on his chest. "By the way, Babe, you said someone saved you. Who? I have to thank him for saving you and the world."
"The world?" Said Amber, shaking her head. "What are you talking about?"
Cole wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I'm not making this up," he said. "He saved the world by saving you."
Jeremy, that boy is crazy.
If he finds out that babe's been hurt by sulfuric acid, he's going to do something that will destroy the world, so he's not wrong.
Amber didn't know what Cole was thinking, just thought he was making a joke, trying to cheer her up.
"All right, be serious," Amber said, ruffling her hair around her ears. "You just asked me who saved me, and I'm telling you right now, it was Jared."
"What?" Cole froze, double-checking two seconds later. "Jared?"
