Kyla’s eyes widened instantly!
Kyla’s heart was heavy when ahe left the hospital. Amber Mitchell’s eyes were… sober when she said, “Save me.”
The originally dim eyes glimmered faintly because…she saw hope!
She was now Amber Mitchell’s hope.
“Martin Weiss, I… want to save Amber Mitchell!” Kyla said.
He asked in reply, “Just because she asked you to save her, you think she’s normal and not mentally ill?”
Kyla said, “Even if she’s mentally ill, she shouldn’t be abused. We saw with our own eyes what the nurses and her sister did to her! Her sister doesn’t deserve to be her guardian!”
“If you want to deprive her of guardianship, you must have evidence to show that her sister is abusing her. But if the guardianship is transferred, it’ll be transferred to her father or stepmother. Do you think that her father and stepmother are unaware of what she’s suffering in the mental hospital?” Martin Weiss said.
Kyla said, “There’s another way. Amber Mitchell is normal and isn’t mentally ill. We can evaluate her mental state to prove that she’s normal!” That way, Amber Mitchell did not need a guardian and she could get Amber Mitchell out of the mental hospital.
“She has been in the mental hospital for so many years. Even a regular person would become mentally ill after being locked up in a mental hospital and receiving so-called mental treatment for so many years. Do you think she’s still normal?” Martin Weiss said.
Kyla froze. Indeed, any regular person would have lost their mind after being tortured for years.
However… the look in Amber Mitchell’s eyes when she asked her to save her in the end… made her think that Amber Mitchell was sober!
“It isn’t as simple as you think. If you want to reevaluate her mental state, it’ll alarm the Mitchell family.
If they refuse, we won’t be able to do it unless we take her away and send her to another authoritative hospital. I can do that because I know some people in the hospital, including Director Wang. But if I’m going to end up putting the hospital in a difficult spot, do you think these connections will help?” Martin Weiss said.
Kyla was silent, understanding what he meant.
If Amber Mitchell’s reevaluation proved that she was not mentally ill, the hospital would surely get into trouble for keeping Amber Mitchell in the hospital for so many years. It might even involve many people. The hospital would not want its patients to go elsewhere for a reevaluation either.
Kyla said after a while, “What if we forcibly take her away to be reevaluated?”
“If Amber Mitchell isn’t mentally ill, we won’t have a problem taking her away by force. But what if Amber Mitchell is mentally ill? The consequences might be more than a couple of apologies. You could even get detained or sentenced,” said Martin Weiss.
Kyla quivered. ‘If that’s true, then Amber Mitchell…’
“What if I take responsibility for it? Just say I’m the one who gave the instructions for everything? Can we just take Amber Mitchell out for an evaluation first?” Kyla said. Nevertheless, she was willing to gamble that Amber Mitchell was not mentally ill.
Maybe it was the only way to save Amber Mitchell.
“Take responsibility?” Martin Weiss sneered. “Do you want to be detained while pregnant? Or do you want the news to talk about how the wife of the chairman of Weiss Group knew she was breaking the law, yet she forcibly took a mental patient out of the hospital? Don’t forget. We’re still married.
Whatever you say or do not only represents yourself but also the Weiss family!”
Kyla bit her lower lip so tightly that she could not speak.
The next day, Grace gave Kyla some of the information she found about Amber Mitchell. It was mainly about Amber Mitchell and George Gregory’s relationship. George Gregory fell in love with Amber Mitchell at first sight and courted her for a year. Then, they started dating, but George Gregory decided to break off the engagement on the eve of the wedding. One of George Gregory’s best friends and Amber Mitchell got into an accident. They were in the same car. One could say that the man died protecting Amber Mitchell.
After that, Amber Mitchell became mentally ill and was sent to a mental hospital. Later, George Gregory married Louise Mitchell.
Looking at the information in her hands, Kyla froze. “Why did the name Herman Moss never appear when we were investigating previously?”
After all, it seemed that Herman Moss had a complicated relationship with Amber Mitchell and George Gregory.
“The Moss, Gregory, and Mitchell families are affluent families in Deer City. It’d be a scandal to let the public know that the eldest heir of the Moss family die to protect his best friend’s fiancée. Besides, there was a rumor before the accident that something was going on between Amber Mitchell and Herman Moss, so the three families worked together to suppress the news. This information is only stated in police files. No one else knows that the person in the car with Herman Moss at the time was Amber Mitchell!” Grace explained.
“Does Amber Mitchell’s hospitalization have anything to do with the Moss family?” Kyla asked as things seemed more complicated than she had imagined.
“I don’t know. I wonder what role George Gregory played in all this.” Grace pondered and said, “You can say that Amber Mitchell’s existence became a stain on the Mitchell, Gregory, and Moss families after the accident. Making Amber Mitchell ‘disappear’ from the public eye became the best choice.”
Kyla thought that she was… getting closer and closer to the mystery that shrouded this whole incident.
“Amber Mitchell must have loved George Gregory,” Kyla said abruptly.
“You know about it? “Grace asked in confusion.
Kyla shook her head. “I didn’t know his name before this, but I knew she had someone she loved. She said she would marry him, be a mother, and have his children. According to the timeline, that person is probably George Gregory.”
If George Gregory was involved in sending Amber Mitchell to a mental hospital, how big would the blow be to Amber Mitchell?
She was sent to a mental hospital by the person she loved the most!
It was just like how she was sent to prison by Martin Weiss.
Kyla said, “I… want to meet George Gregory, the man Amber Mitchell was in love with, and find out if George Gregory thinks Amber Mitchell is really mentally ill.”
“Why don’t I go with you?” Grace asked.
Before Kyla could speak, Martin Weiss had returned to the room. He walked over and said, “I’ll go with her. I’ll say it’s for business. At least the reason is more legitimate that way.”
Grace nodded and said, “Yes, it’s also less likely to raise suspicions.”
Two days later, Martin Weiss took Kyla to Gregory Corporation’s office building.
When Kyla saw George Gregory, bitterness filled her heart. She recalled Amber Mitchell smiling and saying, “If we have the chance to meet again, I’ll introduce you to the person I love. He kept saying that he fell in love with me at first sight. He courted me for a long time. He said I was too difficult to court.
What he doesn’t know is that I fell for him the moment I set my eyes on hhim!”
“Then why did you let him court you for so long?” she had asked in confusion at the time.
Amber Mitchell replied, “Maybe I was afraid of getting hurt. I told you my parents don’t have a happy marriage. My father married my mother just for the influence of my mother’s family. I don’t want to repeat that mistake.”
“You must trust him since you’ve started dating him.”
“Yeah, he’s not like my father. I believe he really loves me.”
She could still hear Amber Mitchell’s voice, but the man she trusted married another woman right after she was admitted to the hospital.
Now, Kyla met the man Amber Mitchell loved under such circumstances.
“Mr. Gregory, this is my wife, Kyla.” Martin Weiss said as he introduced them.
“Hello, Mrs. Weiss.” George Gregory reached out his hand to Kyla to give her a polite handshake.
However, Kyla only stared blankly at him without extending her hand. George Gregory frowned slightly and said with a half-smile, “What’s the matter, Mrs. Weiss? Is it because I look strange?”
“Kyla,” Martin Weiss called out to remind Kyla.
Kyla then came to her senses, reached out her hand, and shook George Gregory’s hand before saying, “Sorry, I was a little distracted just now. Mr. Gregory, you’re not strange; you’re good-looking. I’m sure you’ve swept many women off their feet.”
“You’re too kind, Mrs. Weiss.” George Gregory smiled and asked them to sit down.
Martin Weiss and George Gregory talked about business. Kyla was not interested in their conversation.
Her eyes were focused on George Gregory as if she wanted to get information from hist expressions, manners, and words. She wanted to know what kind of man Amber Mitchell loved.
Kyla was so focused that George Gregory found it strange. The senior executives beside George Gregory looked at Martin Weiss, Kyla, and George Gregory in confusion too. They cach had their own speculation.
When they finished talking about business and George Gregory was about to ask them to join him for dinner, Martin Weiss beat him to it by saying, “Mr. Gregory, I have something I’d like to discuss with you alone.”
Hearing this, George Gregory asked the senior executives who attended the meeting to leave. “I wonder what you need, Chairman Weiss?”
“To be precise, my wife has something that she would like to ask you. She has a friend she has been looking for for many years. She recently found out that her friend was once your fiancée, Mr. Gregory,”
said Martin Weiss.
However, George Gregory’s expression instantly changed once Martin Weiss finished speaking.
Speaking of fiancée… there could only be one person-Amber Mitchell!
Even his wife, Louise Mitchell, had never been his fiancée as they decided to get married right away.
They skipped getting engaged.
George Gregory instantly understood why Mrs. Weiss had been looking at him so intently.
“It seems that Chairman Weiss and Mrs. Weiss are here for more than just business today.” George Gregory looked cold as he said, “I don’t want to talk about the past. My wife is Louise Mitchell.”
“Mr. Gregory, you’re wrong. Even if your wife is Louise Mitchell, Amber Mitchell is your sister-in-law, isn’t she?” Martin Weiss said.
George Gregory’s eyes grew colder.
“Chairman Weiss, I’m sorry, but I can’t play along if you’re looking for trouble.” With that said, he got up to leave.
“Do you really think Amber Mitchell is mentally ill?” Kyla asked suddenly.
George Gregory’s expression changed slightly. “Could the doctor be wrong with his diagnosis? She’s mentally ill!”
“Can’t the doctor be wrong in his diagnosis? Or do you wish she’s mentally ill?” Kyla demanded.
George Gregory stared at Kyla, a faint flicker of rage in his eyes. “What are you trying to say?”
“Did you really love Amber Mitchell? If so, why are you ignoring her when she’s been in the mental hospital for so many years without even visiting her once? You’re leaving her to be subjected to all kinds of abuse in there. She even lost her right ring finger!”
Kyla said as she observed George Gregory’s expression.
There was a flash of shock in his eyes. “What did you say? She lost… her right ring finger?”
“What’s the matter? Didn’t you know? Even I, who just found her, know that she’s missing a finger on her right hand, but you, her former fiancé and now brother-in-law, don’t know that?” Kyla said sarcastically.
George Gregory pressed his thin lips together. He took a few moments to hide his shock before glaring coldly at Kyla. “It seems that you’ve investigated everything before coming, but whatever happens to Amber Mitchell is the Mitchell family’s business. It has nothing to do with you. So what if you were friends with her? She’s only a lunatic now!”
Kyla felt a pang in her heart. She wondered how Amber Mitchell would feel if the man she once loved called her a ‘lunatic.’
“Amber Mitchell loved the wrong person. It’s a pity she never saw your true colors,” said Kyla.
George Gregory’s expression changed abruptly, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to push Kyla.
“Shut up. What do you know?”
However, before his hands touched Kyla, Martin Weiss stopped him. “Mr. Gregory, regardless of what my wife said, she’s pregnant. It’s inappropriate for you to do this.”
George Gregory’s scarlet eyes glared at Martin Weiss before he stared at Kyla. He seemed to regain some of his senses. “If you want your wife to be safe in Deer City, tell your wife to never say that in front of me again, Chairman Weiss! She doesn’t know anything!”
With that said, George Gregory left the meeting room without looking back.
