"Okay," Jared opened his eyes by a millimeter and said in a low voice.
Amber nodded, picked up the anti-inflammatory ointment, and began to apply the scratches on his back with the ointment.
During the application, Amber’s fingers inevitably touched the whiplashes on his back.
Those whiplashes were healed, but the scars left looked like centipedes.
Looking at these scars, Amber felt very sad and was about to cry. "It was very painful, right?"
Jared knew what she was asking about. He looked at the white sheets under him and replied with a smile. "It's all over, and I made so many mistakes, so I deserve it."
Jared did not answer whether it was painful or not.
After all, the answer was obvious. Just with the scars alone, it should be very painful.
However, as a man, Jared was too embarrassed to admit it.
But Jared didn’t want to lie, either.
Therefore, he didn’t answer this question.
Amber was amused. She said, "You don’t have to blame all that on yourself."
Jared turned slightly and looked at Amber with his head supported. "I'm serious. When I was hypnotized, I made a lot of mistakes."
Amber sighed. "Makenna is to blame. She was actually able to get a hypnotist’s help."
"The hypnotist was her boyfriend's brother back then," Jared said with narrowed eyes.
Amber nodded. "Elias has told me about it. He also said that the heart in your body was from the younger brother of the hypnotist."
Jared nodded. "Yes, it's from Martin."
Amber looked at Jared. "Elias said that it was really a coincidence. Your family had looked for a suitable heart for you for twenty-four years but in vain. However, when it was almost the deadline for the heart transplant, Martin died. It just so happened that his heart was suitable for you. This is very strange, so Elias has always suspected that Martin's car accident was murder. Makenna did it on purpose. It’s said that you have been investigating this matter. Have you found something about it?"
Jared shook his head with a cold expression. "No, Martin's car accident happened six years ago in the suburbs. There was no surveillance, and no one even lived nearby, so it is not easy to investigate."
"According to you, there is something wrong with that car accident." Amber rubbed her chin and said, "Now that the car accident happened in the suburbs with no surveillance or witness, the murderer was trying to hide what happened that day from the others."
Jared looked at Amber and chuckled. "You're right, so Martin's death must have something to do with Makenna, but no one knows where Makenna is now. Otherwise, we could interrogate her directly."
Amber nodded. She said, "I also wonder where Makenna is hiding. You can't even find her!"
"Don’t worry. She will show up one day if she is alive. You know how vindictive she could be, and she will definitely do something to us," Jared held Amber’s little hand and said.
Amber pursed her lips. "I know, so I haven't been eager to find her, but did you tell the hypnotist that Martin's death was not an accident?"
"Not yet." Jared shook his head. "It's not too late to tell Mikel after we find Makenna. If Makenna refuses to confess, we can turn to him."
"You're right. Well, stop holding my hand. I’m applying the ointment for you." Amber stopped the topic and tried to pull out her hand, but without success.
Jared chuckled and let go of her hand.
Then, Amber continued to apply ointment to the scratches on his back.
