Chapter 573 Jared Confessed
"And then?"
"Then..." Amber's body trembled slightly, and her face was full of self-blame. "Then I asked Dad what
happened. Dad said that he was fine, so I really believed that he was fine and he was just worried
about Goldstone. If I had persisted at that time and found a doctor to take a look at him, I would have
known earlier that he had been drugged. All of this was my fault. I could have saved him, but I missed it
because of my own inattention. Jared, do you think I am very unfilial?"
"No, you are not unfilial." Jared took her hand and looked at her seriously. "After all, in this world, no
one can prevent what will happen in the next second in advance. No one would have thought that your
father was mentally ill because he had taken the drug, so all this was not your fault. Don't blame
yourself. If he had a soul, he wouldn't want you to take all the blame on yourself. What you need to do
now is not to blame yourself, but to find the evidence that your father was poisoned as soon as
possible."
"You are right. I have to cheer up and avenge my father!"
"That's right." Jared gently touched her hair and asked, "Are you hungry? You haven't eaten this
morning. You must be hungry, right?"
Amber wanted to say that she was not hungry. After all, after knowing this sad thing, how could she
have the appetite to eat?
However, before she could say anything, her stomach began to growl.
She quickly covered her stomach, and her face couldn't help but turn red.
Jared chuckled. Then, he stood up and held her hand as they walked toward the restaurant. "Let's go.
Let's eat first. After we're full, we'll have the energy to do things."
Amber's red lips moved, but she did not say anything. She obediently followed him.
After eating, Jared went out.
Aside from attending the engagement banquet, he also had his own work to do.
Therefore, he did not stay in the villa to accompany Amber.
Amber stayed alone in the villa, waiting for Nichole to send a message in the afternoon.
Nichole was very punctual. At three o'clock in the afternoon, she called and told Amber about the
whereabouts of Braylee.
Braylee was now a citizen of Country A, so the Pratt family naturally sent Braylee back to that country.
At this time, Braylee was already on the plane flying to Country A.
Hearing this, Amber frowned because she was a step too late.
She had originally planned to catch Braylee and interrogate her after she figured out her whereabouts.
But she didn't expect that the Pratt family would have moved so quickly and had directly sent Braylee
back.
Now, how was she going to catch her?
Amber rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.
Now, it seemed that she could only wait until she could find a way to get Braylee back later.
Or, she could go to Country A personally.
Thinking of this, Amber quickly opened the calendar on her phone and checked her time.
Soon, Amber set the date at the end of the month.
At that time, Goldstone would not be as busy as it was now, and she would have the time to find
Braylee.
If she could make a breakthrough from Braylee, she should be able to find out the mastermind Trenton.
Amber clenched her cell phone with uncertainty and looked out of the French window in a daze.
The next day, Amber and Jared boarded the plane back to China.
Along the way, Amber was absent-minded and was not in a state of mind.
There were even several times when she almost bumped into other passengers at the airport.
If Jared had not pulled her back in time, she would probably have fallen and gotten injured.
"Are you alright?" In the first-class cabin, Jared closed the magazine in his hand and looked at the
unhappy woman beside him.
"I'm afraid I need a few more days." The woman rubbed her cheeks.
If her father had really committed suicide, she would have been more at ease.
But her father had been murdered, so she could not calm down so quickly.
"Don't think too much about it." Jared gently held her head and pressed it on his shoulder.
"What are you doing?" Amber's body tensed up.
"Have a nap. Look at your dark circles and your blistered eyes. You didn't rest well yesterday, right?"
Jared looked at her swollen eyes, frowning.
Amber rubbed her eyes and suddenly had nothing to say.
Indeed, she almost didn't sleep last night. When she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with scenes
of her father jumping off a building and committing suicide.
The scene had put her into nightmares for a long time.
But now, her heart had collapsed once again.
"Alright, take a nap. I'll lend you my shoulder," Jared said again.
Amber looked at his concerned eyes and then at his shoulder. Her red lips moved slightly. "Thank you,"
she said.
When she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and leaned in.
The strange thing was that not long after she leaned in, she felt sleepy. The hesitation and uneasiness
in her heart also disappeared at this moment.
Was it because he was by her side?
Amber looked up at the man's serious side profile. "Jared."
"Huh?" The man shifted his gaze away from the magazine and turned to look at her. Seeing that her
eyes were wide open, he chuckled. "Still can't sleep?"
"Can I ask you a question?" Amber's eyes flashed.
"What?"
"Can I trust you?" Amber said.
"Why do you ask such a question? What kind of trust do you mean?" Jared raised his eyebrows.
"You said that you love me, but can I really believe you? Will you always love me? Why couldn't you
recognize that Makenna was not me? So did you really love me?"
These words made Jared feel guilty. He raised his hand and gently touched her head. He said in an
ashamed voice, "I am sorry, Amber. I actually recognized you back then. It is just because of some
reasons that I had forgotten you." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"What do you mean? You lost your memory?"
"No, I did not lose my memory."
Back then, when Makenna pretended to be her and met him, he knew that Makenna was not Amber.
He also asked Ben to find out who Maple Leaf was and why Makenna wanted to pretend to be her.
However, before Ben could find out the result, he and Ben had been hypnotized by Mikel first.
Mikel made him, as well as the people around him who knew Maple Leaf, think that Makenna is Maple
Leaf.
Because of this reason, he had firmly believed that Makenna was Maple Leaf.
"You didn't lose your memory? Wait, I don't understand. If you didn't lose your memory, then why did
you forget about me?" Amber asked with a puzzled expression.
She felt that his words were contradictory.
Jared's eyes flashed as if he was entangled in something.
After a few seconds, he looked at her. "If I said that I was hypnotized, would you believe me?"
"You were hypnotized?" Amber suddenly sat up straight.
Jared nodded.
He told her about the deal between Makenna and Mikel.
After hearing this, Amber did not speak for a long time.
Jared looked at her trembling pupils and knew that she had not yet come out of the shock. He did not
speak and patiently waited for her.
After waiting for a while, Amber finally came back to her senses. She swallowed her saliva and said,
"There is actually such a thing in this world. Is it really so magical?"
