Chapter 454 A Call from Amber's Grandpa
Chapter 454 A Call from Amber's Grandpa
"I'm fine now," Jared looked at Amber and replied.
However, Amber was still a little worried. "Really? Do you feel dizzy? And your arms..."
"Don't worry anymore. I'm very fine!" Jared interrupted Amber.
Amber's lips twitched, but words failed her.
Jared asked, "What about you? According to Ben, you carried me down the hill and fainted. Are you
okay now?"
Amber shook her head. "I'm fine."
She had nothing but a muscle injury on her back, so she would recover for a while.
On the contrary, Jared was severely injured. Even his arms would take half a year to recover.
Thus, Amber was worried about Jared.
"It's good." Jared could tell that Amber didn't lie, so he nodded in relief. "Thank you for carrying me
down the mountain. Otherwise, I would have been a fool from the fever."
Amber looked up at him with a serious look. "Without your help, neither Jeremy nor I could have
survived, so I should thank you. I owe you. By the way, what do you want to eat?"
Amber changed the topic.
Jared raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"Well, you're injured because of me, so I'll stay here and take care of you until you recover. Tell me
what you want to eat and I'll make it for you," Amber said.
Jared shook his head and refused. "No need. You don't have to take care of me. I have a caregiver
here."
"It's different." Amber stood up with a serious look. "You saved my life, so I should do something for
you. I can't be so easily reconciled with myself."
Amber bowed to Jared.
Jared frowned and tried to pull her up. Nonetheless, his left hand was injured. He could only pull her up
with his right hand.
If so, he had to turn around.
But he was too injured to do so.
Most importantly, Jared saw the determination and persistence in Amber's eyes. Even if Jared refused,
she would not give up.
Jared shrugged.
He rubbed between his brows. "Do you really want to take care of me?"
"Yes." Amber straightened up. "I should be responsible for you. I can't be relieved if I don't do anything.
I don't want to be a heartless woman."
Jared chuckled when he heard her words. Then, he got serious. "Amber, if you want to take care of me,
you have to stay with me for a long time. I know you hate me, so are you willing to do that? You can
take back what you said now. If not, you can't go back on it later."
"I won't go back on my word." Amber shook her head gently and said without hesitation, "Besides, I
don't hate you, at least not now."
Amber didn't hate him anymore when he followed her down the cliff without hesitation. Back then, he
hugged her tightly and was unwilling to throw her away.
Hence, Jared even deserved her respect.
"I'm very happy to hear this. Besides, it's worth it for me to do all this. At least you don't hate me
anymore." Jared smiled at Amber.
"Amber," Jared suddenly said.
Amber looked him in the eye. "What's wrong?"
"Can we be friends? It's the first step," Jared asked.
Amber frowned.
Friends?
They had been a couple before.
Amber thought it was awkward for them to be friends.
In any case, it was rare that a divorced couple made friends with each other.
However, Amber could not reject Jared. After hesitating for a few seconds, she nodded and agreed.
"Okay."
Jared smiled. "That's great. I don't have to remarry you. I'm satisfied enough to be your friend for the
rest of my life."
It was hardly likely that Jared could get a suitable new heart.
Therefore, he was destined to die in three years.
Then, even if Jared remarried Amber, he couldn't give her a happy life.
Thus, Jared was very satisfied now.
Amber's pupils contracted when she heard Jared's words.
She couldn't figure out what he meant.
Did he get hopeless and give up?
Amber lowered her eyes and felt uncomfortable.
But very quickly, the discomfort dissipated.
As this feeling disappeared quickly, Amber did not realize that something was different with her. She
poured Jared a glass of water. "You're just thirty years old, so you're too young to say so."
Amber felt Jared was too strange.
What he had said sounded very like his final words.
Jared's eyes flickered as he took the glass from Amber's hand. "Well, let's not talk about this. I want to
go to the bathroom. Can you help me?"
"Of course." Amber nodded and helped Jared out of bed.
Jared could walk to the bathroom himself. After all, his legs were not injured.
But Amber offered to help him hold the drip.
Therefore, when Jared went into the bathroom, Amber had to wait outside the bathroom.
When Jared came out, Amber followed him back to the ward and hung the dripping on the shelf.
After that, Amber's phone rang.
"I get to take this. I'll be right back," Amber said to Jared and took out her phone.
It was her Grandpa, so she was both surprised and happy.
Seeing this, Jared frowned.
He wondered whose call it was.
Amber hurriedly answered, "Grandpa, what can I do for you?"
When Jared heard this, he was relieved and didn't feel jealous anymore.
It was a call from Amber's Grandpa.
Then Jared was not worried anymore.
"Amber!" Grandpa Reed said in a kind voice on the other end of the phone.
Amber's eyes instantly turned red as she said, "Old man, I finally got your call. Ever since we last met, I
haven't heard from you for four months. If you don't call me, I will never be able to get in touch with
you." NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
As an archaeologist, Grandpa Reed was either in the deep mountains or in the ancient tombs, where
he couldn't get any reception. It was too difficult to contact him.
Grandpa Reed felt very sorry for Amber. He smiled guiltily and said, "I'm sorry, Amber. I have been too
busy to call you."
"I know. That's why I'm not angry with you. Also, I got some good news for you. Goldstone is on the
track and beginning to pick up," Amber held her phone and said.
Grandpa Reed was shocked, "Really? Why is it so fast?"
Although Grandpa Reed wasn't in business, he knew that it was impossible for Goldstone to pick up in
four months.
Amber nodded. "It's a little quick, but someone does me a favor. I'm very grateful to him."
She glanced at Jared.
Jared was the one who helped her.
If Jared hadn't collaborated with Amber or hadn't paid ten billion for her, Goldstone would still be in
danger now.
Jared naturally understood that Amber was talking about him. He raised his eyebrows with a trace of
surprise flashing through his eyes.
He was surprised by what Amber said.
Amber said she felt grateful.
She showed her gratitude to Jared rather than Jeremy, Cole, or Hayden.
Jared was flattered!
Therefore, he gave a smile in a good mood.
On the other end of the phone, Grandpa Reed smiled happily when he heard this. "I see. But Amber,
you're also very impressive. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to get Goldstone to pick up in just
four months, even if you got help. It is a perfect decision to put you in charge of Goldstone. I'm very
gratified to hear this."
