“Louise Mitchell’s blood can’t save you, so you need my blood to save you,” Amber Mitchell said with a calmness in her gentle voice. “You can only do whatever you want and see whoever you want after you recover.
Otherwise, you can only lay in the hospital bed all day doing nothing!”
Simon stared at Amber Mitchell and suddenly asked, “Are you trying to steal Daddy by saving me?”
The little one must have heard rumors even in the hospital, so he reacted strongly against Amber Mitchell from the beginning.
George Gregory’s expression froze instantly, and he looked at Amber Mitchell nervously.
Amber Mitchell continued to speak calmly, “No, I won’t steal your daddy, I won’t be with your daddy. I’m saving you because I want to.”
Confusion flickered in the little one’s eyes. “Why do you want to save me?”
“Because…” She hesitated and said, “Others helped me when I was in trouble, so I want to help others when they’re in trouble.”
“But Mommy says you’re a bad person. Why would a bad person want to help people?” The little one’s childish voice was heard saying.
“You have to come to a decision whether a person is bad or not yourself, not just because someone says so. You must already be in primary school. You must learn to think and distinguish things yourself.
You’ll see whether I’m a bad person or not in time,” Amber Mitchell said as she straightened up and raised her hand to caress the little one’s head.
However, the little one turned his head sideways and avoided Amber Mitchell’s hand, making her miss.
Amber Mitchell looked at her hand that missed before looking at Simon’s distant eyes. She tasted bitterness in her mouth. ‘Yeah, I’m just a bad person to the kid! It was already a blessing to her as long as the child was alive.
After everything she had been through, she knew better than anyone how precious life was.
“Alright, have a good rest. We’ll meet again the day after tomorrow. I’ll save you whether you like it or not. If you refuse to accept that, get better. Save me when I need help in the future, and you won’t owe me anything. You can also be very arrogant in front of me!”
Amber Mitchell said to the little one with a smile. Her speech made the little one dizzy.
He was very resistant to the idea of the bad woman saving him! However, he thought it was nice to smugly save the bad woman after he recovered!
Amber Mitchell walked out of the ward. George Gregory stood where he was with a bitter look on his face.
‘What was I expecting? Was I expecting her to give our son a different answer?
She had already said to his face that she would not get back together with him! However, he could not help but have some expectations.
“Daddy, is she really a bad woman?” Simon’s childish voice rang.
George Gregory looked at his son and said hoarsely, “She’s not. She’s the person who loves you the most in this world.”
Even when the doctor mentioned that the transfusion would affect her body and even put her life in danger, she said yes without even frowning.
“Aren’t Grandpa, Grandma, Daddy, and Mommy the ones who love me the most?” Simon asked in confusion.
George Gregory caressed his son’s head. “You have to learn to distinguish right from wrong by yourself. Don’t be like me.
I thought I knew everything, but it turns out I was only a fool kept in the dark.”
If he had not thought of himself as always right, things would not have come to this.
The little one blinked with a hazy notion, but he still said, “Daddy is no fool.” His daddy had always been someone he idolized.
George Gregory gently hugged his son. “Aunt… Amber Mitchell is willing to save your life, so please don’t ever break her heart, okay?”
Simon was silent and did not reply.
George Gregory looked down at him. The two pairs of similar eyes stared at each other.
“I didn’t ask her to save me. I don’t even want her to,” Simon said nonchalantly.
George Gregory said sternly, “I’ll never forgive you if you break her heart.”
The childish dark eyes filled with shock. His daddy was speaking so harshly to him for the first time. He was only seven years old, but he knew enough to know that this woman.
was… very important to his daddy!
Two days later, Amber Mitchell helped Simon with his transfusion in the hospital.
When her blood flowed into Simon’s body, she had a sense of satisfaction. At least she could save her son.
However, the blood transfusion made her feel increasingly exhausted, and she became drowsy. When she was resting in the temporary ward after completing the transfusion with the nurse’s help, she fell asleep with the IV drip attached.
In her sleep, she felt as if she was lying on the cold labor table again. After experiencing heart-
wrenching pain, she did not hear the baby crying. The midwife said to her with a blank face, “The baby is stillborn.”
‘Stillborn…
She thought perhaps it was fated. God wanted her to have nothing to do with George Gregory, so God let their child die in her belly.
Then, she seemed to see Herman again in a daze. Herman smiled and said to her, “Amber Mitchell, you have to be happy.”
‘Happy… But how can I be happy if he’s not around?’
In a trance, Herman turned around as if to leave her.
“No…” She reached out her hand to catch Herman, not wanting him to leave. “No. Don’t leave me… Don’t…”
She seemed to vaguely grab Herman’s hand, and a gentle voice said in her ears, “Amby, I won’t leave you. I won’t. I’ll never…”
‘Never leave me?’ She felt relieved, and her lips curved into a smile. “We’ll never… separate, Herman…”
She muttered the name in her deep slumber. She was not aware of it. She had no idea that George Gregory’s expression seemed to freeze, and his body froze when he heard her mutter the name ‘Herman’ as he stood at her bedside.
She had just called out Herman’s name, which meant she did not want Herman to leave.
‘Does she even dream about Herman Moss in her sleep?’
Jealousy arose in his heart. It was so strong that he could hardly contain it.
He had always thought that perhaps she married Herman Moss and said she loved Herman Moss to repay Herman Moss for saving her life. Perhaps she even did it just to annoy him.
However, when she called out Herman Moss’s name in her sleep, he suddenly realized that maybe she truly did not love him anymore and loved Herman Moss just as she said.
His hand held hers tightly. Her mutilated right hand could never be whole again.
‘Have I really lost her? Have I lost the woman I want to care for forever?’
“Amby, don’t love Herman Moss, okay? Don’t love him… I beg you. Don’t love him… Okay…?” The hoarse voice rang in the ward, sounding as though there was a lump in his throat.
He lowered his head and rested his forehead on her mutilated right hand as if he were pleading with all his strength.
It was already dark when Amber Mitchell woke up.
She found that the IV drip had been removed when she raised her hand. ‘What time is it?’ She sat up instantly and heard a sound.
“You’re awake.”
Amber Mitchell was surprised to see a figure standing up from the couch in front of her and heading toward her.
It was… George Gregory.
“What are you doing here?” Amber Mitchell asked in a daze. Then, she realized that she had asked a silly question. This was a temporary ward in the hospital. No doctors or nurses Chapter he?
would kick him out if he wanted to be here Amber Mitchell pulled back the sheets and got out of bed “Vm going home”
However, her legs gave way as soon as her feet touched the floor. She stumbled forward.
George Gregory leaped forward and grabbed Amber Mitchell. “You gave Simon so much blood and fell unconscious for ten hours. You’re very weak right now”
