Chapter 73 Came Clean
Jared frown. She deleted his number?
Amber was about to hang up after receiving no response, when she heard a man’s voice on
the other end said, “It’s me.”
Amber’s pen–fiddling hand froze in mid–air, and she stared at the number on the screen and
recognized it now!
Despite the fact that she deleted all of his contacts after their divorce, she still remembered
his phone number.
“Is there anything I can assist you with, Mr. Farrell?” She said, taking a deep breath.
Jared’s face clouded as he heard her cold tone when she realized it was him. She was gentle
just now, when she thought he was a stranger!
“I call to apologize,” he said, concealing his irritation.
“Apologize?” Amber said as she tossed the pen on the table and leaned back. “Mr. Farrell, what did you apologize for?”
“I’m sorry my mother troubled you,” Jared apologized.
“Oh, for your mother,” Amber sneered. “You’ve already apologized for your fiancé and your mother, so I assume you’ll have to
apologize on behalf of your brother next, huh?”
“There won’t be another,” Jared said coldly.
“Don’t be too sure about that; I know how troublesome the Farrells can be, particularly your
mother.” Amber couldn’t help but roll her eyes when she mentioned Shonna, “Mr. Farrell, there’s a question I’ve been meaning to
ask for a long time, mind if I ask now?”
“Go ahead,” Jared replied as he adjusted his earpiece.

“Are you
related to your mother biologically?” Amber inquired, one hand supporting her chin.
Shonna was a shrew, and no matter how exquisite she looked, her demeanor was shrewish.
It was difficult to believe that someone like her could have given birth to someone like Jared.
“Why did you ask?” Jared said, a little puzzled.
Amber shrugged and said. “Just out of curiosity.”

As he turned the sterling wheel, Jared said, “Yes, we are biologically related.”
Amber groaned with despair, thinking that it may be a hereditary abnormality.
“All right then, I have no more questions,” she said, “But please keep your mother under control; I don’t want to see her barking
like a mad dog in front of my door ever again.”
Barking like a mad dog? “Mind your language, Amber,” Jared said, slightly irritated.
“What’s wrong with my language?” Amber burst out laughing. “Perhaps you should reflect on how you and your family had
treated me during our six–year marriage. What gives you the right to demand respect from me. Who do you think you are?” She
hung up as soon as she finished speaking.
The beep in his earphones indicated that the call had been terminated.
“How you and your family treated me during our six–year marriage,” Jared rubbed his forehead as Amber’s words resonated in
his ears.
He felt a huge weight on his heart as he remembered how they had treated Amber previously.
While thinking about all of this, he arrived at the hospital. Before stepping in, he parked the car and lingered inside for a while.
Makenna was watching TV in the VIP ward, while Mrs. Gardner was peeling an apple beside
the bed.

When she heard someone knocking on the door, she glanced up and said with a smile, “Makenna, guess who’s here?”
Makenna turned to the door and was surprised when she saw Jared, “Jared...” her eyes welled up and she ran towards him.
“Why are you crying?” Jared said as he hugged her and stroked her hair.
“I miss you,” she said, her head leaning on his chest.
“I’m here now, am I?” Jared said, his glint softening.
Mrs. Gardner put the apple away and rose, smiling. “Jared can keep you company now while I go find out when Makenna may
be discharged,” she said.
“All right, Jared said with a nod.
He then placed his hand en Makenna’s forehead and breathed a sigh of relief as he realized.

she was no longer having a fever.
“Do you feel better?” Jared inquired as he drew his hand back.
“I’m still dizzy,” Makenna replied, a frown on her face.
“Rest a little longer,” Jared said as he slid the cushion into place and motioned for her to lie down.
“I’m done resting; all I need now is you at my side,” she said, shaking her head.

Jared didn’t say no; instead, he took a seat by the bed while Makenna clutched his arm and put her head on his shoulder.
“Jared, your mother came to see me this morning and hurried over to Ms. Reed after I told her she may be related to my
kidnapping; I couldn’t stop her.”
“I know,” said Jared.
“You knew? Did she do anything to Ms. Reed?” Makenna asked, looking at Jared’s profile.Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

Jared looked down. His mother had been arrested before she could harm Amber. Amber, on the other hand, kept herself from
being harmed.
Thinking about that, Jared smiled and without realizing that his eyes were gleaming with. softness.
Realizing why he smiled, Makenna tightened her fists. She was alarmed, but still pretended to be curious as she said, “Why are
you smiling, Jared?”
“Look at his bright smile when Amber is mentioned! Oh shit, I need to get rid of Amber as quickly as possible; if thing continues
this way, Jared will fall for her. I can see he likes her, even
if he doesn’t recognize it. Makenna pondered.
Hearing Makenna’s query regarding his grin, Jared’s eyes clouded and he returned to his normal self. “Nothing, I just thought of
something funny.”
“Ah, I see.” Makenna forced a grin on her face while being depressed on the inside.
Mrs. Gardner walked in and said, “Makenna, the doctor says you may go home tomorrow.”
“That’s fantastic; I’m tired of being in the hospital; I’ve been here for six years and finally get to go home,” Makenna exclaimed
cheerfully as Jared caressed her hair.
“Did you manage to find out the fox mask man?” Mrs. Gardner asked Jared.
When Makenna heard “fox mask man“, her smiley face stiffened. “Jared...” she sobbed.
“Don’t be scared...” Jared said as he drew her into his arms and softly stroked her back.
Looking at Makenna’s response, Mrs. Gardner immediately regretted mentioning that name. “I’m sorry, sweetheart, I didn’t mean
to...”
“I’m alright, mom,” Makenna answered, her eyes welling up with tears. “I deserved it all; if I hadn’t injured Ms. Reed because of
my insecurities, she wouldn’t have plotted this kidnapping;
it’s all on me.”
“Nonsense. Amber is such a vice woman,” Mrs. Gardner cried too, “We compensated her

already, but she still plotted the kidnapping. She is vengeful!”
Makenna wailed with her head down, as if she too, couldn’t comprehend why Amber had done
such a thing to her.
“Please understand that this kidnapping has nothing to do with Amber; it is utterly the kidnapper’s own idea,” Jared frowned at
the two.
“Are you defending Amber, Jared?” Mrs. Gardner was taken aback and looked at him with
bewilderment..
