Amber cried silently.
Drops of crystal tears dropped along the corner of Amber's eyes like strings of pearls.
Mr. Ward, Steve, and Rosie felt their hearts in sharp pain when seeing this.
"Amber..."
Rosie directly fell on Amber's chest to hug her daughter tightly.
Steve also couldn't conceal his sadness and he kept wiping his tears.
The couple watched Amber become emaciated step by step.
As her parents, they really suffered and felt their hearts in pain.
But their greatest pain was that they were unable to do anything!
Mr. Ward really felt heartbroken and he cried.
He knelt on the ground and begged, "Mrs. Hughes, health is the most important thing. I will try all means to find Mr. Hughes."
After saying that, he heavily kowtowed on the ground again.
"Mr. Ward!"
Steve was startled and hurriedly stopped him.
But Mr. Ward insisted on doing this.
When he raised his head, he was already in tears.
"Old Mr. Hughes has disappeared. I was ordered to take care of Mr. Hughes and Mrs. Hughes. Now that Mr. Hughes is missing and Mrs. Hughes is in such a state, it's all my fault."
Dang!
Again, he knocked his head on the ground.
When he raised his head again, his forehead was already bruised and flooded with blood.
Steve cried with snot and tears but could not stop crying.
"Mrs. Hughes, you must recover sooner. I know you love Mr. Hughes so much. But I guarantee in my life that Mr. Hughes has no affair with that woman, it is only a misunderstanding. If you don't take care of yourself, how can you go find him?"
Dang!
He kowtowed again.
His kowtow this time startled Mr. and Mrs. Knight.
And Amber, who had been crying silently, had finally got some light in her dull eyes again.
Mr. Ward slowly raised his head. Despite the blood seeping from his forehead, he held back all his tears and said in grief.
"Seeing you torture yourself like this, I really can't bear it. Even if Mr. Hughes has already died. You are still pregnant with his only offspring..."
After saying that, Mr. Ward couldn't suppress his sadness anymore.
He used his old hands to cover his face and cried.
The sound of crying echoed in the house for a long time.
Suddenly, a slight and weak voice sounded.
"Mom, I... I am a little hungry."
Boom!
The voice was as low as a mosquito's cry, but it sounded like a big thunder blast in the room. Her voice even sounded louder than Mr. Ward's cry.
Steve and Rosie both looked at Amber in excitement and ecstasy.
Even Mr. Ward wiped his tears and looked at Amber with surprise.
At that moment, Amber's eyes were finally glowing with light. The light was weak but her eyes were no longer dull like before.
There was an indescribable determination on her pale and haggard face.
Feeling the gaze of her parents and Mr. Ward, she lowered her head and gently touched her belly.
"The baby... is hungry too..."
"Quick, do it quickly! Make some delicious food. Make Amber's favorite food."
Steve was ecstatic. He laughed and cried like a child.
"Good, good, Amber. Wait a moment. I will go to make some food for you."
Rosie's face was full of smiles. She never smiled so happily recently.
She wiped the tears from her face, got up, and walked out. Probably because she was too excited, she was even a little staggered.
Mr. Ward also smiled happily with relief.
No medicine could solve mental problems.
As long as she could still eat, she would recover.
Nothing was more lamentable than a dead heart.
