He could only stare blankly at the plane as it flew past. He watched the distance between them grow farther apart!
Perhaps he would never get anywhere near her again.
On the plane, Amber Mitchell looked at the photo on her phone. It was… a photo of Simon. It was a photo of the little one asleep. She had secretly taken it with her phone.
She had asked the doctor, and the doctor said that Simon was recovering well. She was relieved to hear this.
The child would have a far better life with the Gregory family than with her.
Besides, the child had no feelings for her. It would be too much for her to force maternal love on him.
She would rather let nature take its course.
As a mother, all she wanted was for her child to be healthy, safe, and happy!
Other than that, nothing else mattered!
Amber Mitchell visited Kyla at the store as soon as she arrived in Emerald City.
Kyla was enjoying the sun with her little daughter at the store entrance. She was surprised to see Amber Mitchell. Although Amber Mitchell had said she would come to Emerald City when they spoke on the phone, Kyla did not expect her to come so soon.
“Are you really planning on staying in Emerald City?” Kyla asked.
“Well…” Amber Mitchell nodded. “I’ll be studying archaeology in Emerald City for at least three years.
After that, I’ll consider whether I want to stay in Emerald City.”
“You’re not going back to Deer City?” Kyla asked again.
‘Deer City…’ There was a flicker of gloom in Amber Mitchell’s eyes. Deer City was a sad place for her.
“I’ll go back to Deer City to pay my respects during Tomb Sweeping Day, Winter Solstice, and Herman’s death anniversary. I’ll also go back if my son needs anything.”
In her opinion, Herman and her son were the only ones in Deer City holding her back.
The fact that she sold the shares of Mitchell Group was the best proof she wanted to leave Deer City.
“How’s Simon?” Kyla asked with concern.
“The doctor said that he’s doing okay. Perhaps he can leave the hospital healthy after a period of treatment,” she said.
“That’s good.” Kyla breathed a sigh of relief. As a mother, what scared her the most was something bad happening to her children. “Does he know you’re his biological mother yet?”
Amber Mitchell shook her head. “I don’t know if he knows. I’ve only met Simon a few times.
Sometimes, I think it would be better for him not to know that I’m his biological mother.”
After all, the feud between the adults was so intense that the child might not be as happy as before if he found out about it.
“Well, enough about me. Trista is so cute!” Shifting the subject, Amber Mitchell began to tease the baby in Kyla’s arms.
Although born premature, the little one had grown to two and a half kilograms after a period of careful feeding in the incubator. She could be fed like regular babies now.
The little one looked tender and adorable.
Kyla said, “She’s still a little skinny. She drinks less milk than other babies who are born full-term. It’s a pity she has been drinking baby formula since birth and has never had her mother’s milk.”
“You’ve done enough for her. She’ll understand your hard efforts when she grows up,” said Amber Mitchell as she took out a red envelope. “Alright, it’s my first time meeting the baby today. I’m giving her a red envelope for good luck!”
Kyla immediately rejected it and said, “That’s inappropriate.
Take it back!”
Amber Mitchell chuckled and said, “It’s for the baby, not you. You’re just keeping it for her. You gotta give it to her later! Besides, I’ve sold my shares. I have enough money to last me for several lifetimes. You don’t have to be conscious about my money.”
Kyla then accepted the red envelope.
“Here, let me carry the baby. She’s so cute. I want to carry her.” Amber Mitchell seemed like she could not wait to carry her.
Kyla then carefully handed her daughter to Amber Mitchell.
Amber Mitchell hugged the tiny and soft body carefully. Watching the little one pouting in her arms and spitting bubbles… Her eyes grew red.
ww ‘Was Simon like this when he was born? Was he this adorable too?’
However, she had never even held Simon once since he was born.
Looking at her best friend’s red eyes, Kyla knew what was on her mind, so she stood still nearby and did not make a sound.
There were some emotions that outsiders simply could not help with. They could only process those emotions themselves.
Just then, Kyla’s phone suddenly rang. She took it out to see an unfamiliar caller ID.
When she pressed the answer button, what the person said shocked her.
“Is this Miss Corbyn? I’m Mr. Martin Weiss’s attorney. Mr. Weiss has entrusted me with full authority to handle your and Mr. Weiss’s divorce. He has entrusted me to draw up a divorce agreement. I hope you can come to our law firm to take a look at the agreement when you’re free. You can also let us know if you have any objections. We’ll pass the message on to Mr. Weiss and revise the agreement accordingly.”
Kyla froze, only feeling as though the voice on the other end of the line was becoming infinitely distant.
“Miss Corbyn?” The lawyer’s voice on the other end of the line grew louder due to the long silence.
“Huh?” Kyla suddenly came to her senses. “Okay… I… I got it.”
“The address of my law firm is…” The person gave the address. and said, “I wonder when you’ll be free? I’ll make time for you.” Kyla hesitated slightly. “Tomorrow, then. I’ll come over tomorrow.”
“Okay, how about tomorrow afternoon? We can send a car to pick you up,” they said.
“You don’t have to send a car to pick me up. Tomorrow afternoon it is, then,” said Kyla before putting her phone away.
Amber Mitchell, who was nearby, saw her best friend’s pale face and asked, “What’s wrong? What happened? Is there anything I can help you with?”
Kyla smiled bitterly. “No thanks. It was a call from the law firm. Martin Weiss has entrusted them to draft the divorce agreement. They want me to go over and take a look at it.”
“Martin Weiss’s divorcing you?” Amber Mitchell froze. She remembered how Martin Weiss had accompanied Kyla to the mental hospital to see her and visited her after she was rescued.
She thought Kyla’s suffering had ended. Besides, Martin Weiss seemed nice to Kyla.
“Yeah, divorce. I married him just so that the child would have a legitimate identity. Now that the baby is born, divorce is inevitable,” said Kyla. Amber Mitchell stared at her best friend. Although she said it was inevitable, the expression on her face was a clear sign of her reluctance to give up the marriage.
“You married him for the baby and nothing more?”
Kyla was silent for a long moment before saying with a bitter smile, “He loved me when I married him, but I only wanted to give my unplanned baby a legitimate identity. However…”
Kyla told Amber Mitchell about her and Martin Weiss’s story. Finally, she said, “Funny, isn’t it? I thought I didn’t love him enough while he loved me too deeply, so I chose to separate. But now that he has stopped loving me, I love him too deeply.”
Amber Mitchell had never heard of hypnotizing feelings in such a way. It was not amnesia, but one could diminish such unforgettable feelings.
“He didn’t seem to have no affection for you when I saw the way he treated you in Deer City,” said Amber Mitchell. She even thought Martin Weiss loved her best friend deeply.
“Maybe there were some lingering feelings, but they’re very faint.” Kyla sighed and said, “After I sign the divorce papers, apart from our two children, we’ll have nothing to do with each other.”
Amber Mitchell said, “Do you really want to divorce him? If you really love him, we’ll find a way to lift his hypnosis. That way, the four of you can stay as a family. Wouldn’t that be great?”
Kyla shook his head. “No, I have a bad liver. I had liver cancer and underwent a liver transplant. Giving birth to the baby has put a strain on my liver. Why lift his hypnosis and let him suffer with me when I don’t know how many years I have left to live? He has no feelings for me now, so it won’t hurt him to divorce me.”
“But won’t you regret it?” Amber Mitchell asked.
Kyla smiled. “There are always many regrets in life. It wouldn’t be life if there are no regrets. I should be content with this life. I had someone I loved, I have two children, a family, and friends. I can live my life in peace. It’s good enough.”
‘Is it really good enough?’ Amber Mitchell looked down at the little one in her arms. Then, she returned the baby to Kyla. “I’ve always believed that we should have fewer regrets. Some regrets can be remedied, while others can never be. Just like. Herman. He’s gone. I can’t make up for my regrets for him, but both you and Martin Weiss are still alive. This regret can be remedied.”
After Amber Mitchell left, her statement still echoed in Kyla’s head.
Kyla make my head hurt
