Sheila shuddered from head to toe at the thought of this reason and then the feeling of panic from her heart stroke herself.
Because she knew that Cole absolutely did not allow her pregnancy due to his aversion to her.
However, the last time she went to the hospital, it was confirmed that she was pregnant.
If Cole knew, he must let her abort this child.
But she…was unwilling to do that.
She wanted to have a child.
Having seen that Sheila's face was horribly pale, Amber couldn't resist worrying about her. "Sheila, are you alright? You looked so pale." Amber asked.
Sheila bent her head a little and said, "I'm fine."
"Are you sure?" Amber looked at her with an apparently doubtful look.
Her face was so pale that she didn't look well.
"I'm fine, really." Sheila shook her head and answered affirmatively. Then she asked the question again, "Ms. Reed, you didn't tell me why Mr. Lyon asked whether I have been acting oddly. And what did he mean by oddness?"
"I'm sorry, Sheila. I don't know either. I did ask Cole about it but he didn't give me a clear answer. He just said that something happened between you and him. Therefore, he wanted to know from me if there has been something wrong with you. That's all." Amber said with a shy smile.
Sheila bit her lower lip and felt nervous, "Ms. Reed, what did you say?"
If Ms. Reed told Mr. Lyon about her dry retching and other symptoms, she would be in trouble.
"I told him you were fine," said Amber, who threw her hands up and told the truth, without knowing what Sheila was worrying about.
"Did you tell Mr. Lyon that I have been uncomfortable recently?" said Sheila, who looked up at her all of a sudden.
"No, I didn't," Amber shook her hand. "You were uncomfortable just due to illness. It is not odd behavior and there is no reason to say that to him."
"I see, Ms. Reed." Sheila breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Amber in gratefulness.
Then she bowed to Amber.
Fortunately, Ms. Reed didn't understand that the oddness mentioned by Cole was likely to relate to her body.
Otherwise, Ms. Reed must have told Mr. Lyon that she has been retching lately.
Then Mr. Lyon would immediately know she was pregnant and forced her to have an abortion.
Amber didn't understand why Sheila suddenly thanked her, let alone the look on Sheila's face like she had just survived from a disaster.
"That's OK. I just told Cole the truth, but what happened between you and him?" Amber waved her hands.
Sheila lowered her head and didn't answer.
Seeing this, Amber understood and shook her head resignedly, "Forget it if the question bothers you. But if there exist misunderstandings between the two of you, you must clear up them. Don't wait, or it will be more difficult to clarify misunderstandings. You want to be with Cole, don't you? Therefore, you have to clarify them as soon as possible."
"I see. Thanks for your suggestions." Sheila, who lifted the corners of her mouth and managed a smile.
"Go ahead," Amber gestured to her.
Sheila took a breath, turned her head back, lifted her feet again, and walked towards the door.
But she marched pace more heavily this time than before.
Bang!
The office door closed.
A great hand suddenly appeared in front of Amber's eyes, stopping her gazing at the door.
"What are you doing?" said Amber, who removed the man's hand and turned around.
"You stared at her for too long," said Jared, who kept his arms around her waist.
"I just watched her go out. Are you jealous of that?" Amber chuckled, a bit helplessly.
"How can she compete with me? You can look at only me like this," said Jared, who snorted.
"Leave me alone," said Amber, who gave him an angry stare and then picked up the coffee pot and added some hot coffee to herself.
