Chapter 152
When Pierce finished his work and was about to go home, his phone rang. It was one of his factory managers. He told Pierce on the phone, “Tell him that there was an accident in the factory and ask him to go there immediately!”
Pierce was startled and immediately got up to rush to the factory. Along the way, he was so anxious that he kept asking the driver to drive faster. When he passed a quiet road, the driver suddenly exclaimed.
“Boss, look.”
Following him, there was an emergency brake. Pierce fixed his eyes on it and was also shocked. On the road less than two meters away from their car lay a woman covered in blood. “Get down and have a look!” Pierce opened the door first.
“She doesn’t seem to be breathing anymore.” The driver carefully turned over the injured person’s head and tried her breath with his hand. When he touched the injured person’s face, Pierce was shocked. “Why is it her?”
“Do you know her?”
“Yes! It’s still warm. Take it to the hospital to see what’s going on first!” Pierce ordered.
Pierce ignored the blood stains on Kelsey’s body and the driver and carried her into the car. The driver started the car and drove to the hospital. Soon they arrived at the nearby hospital. The doctor rushed to push Kelsey into the operating room. Pierce looked at his watch and told the driver to wait for the situation in the hospital. Then he drove to the factory.
Along the way, he had been very uneasy. He did know the girl just now, but it was just a chance encounter.
A few years ago, he had gone to South City to attend a meeting. That day, he had been in a hurry. He had been stuck in a traffic jam on the road and had arrived at the conference hotel late. At that time, he had rushed out of the special elevator escorted by his entourage. Unexpectedly, there was a person standing outside. He had not expected that the person outside would be knocked down and fell to the ground.
He was shocked and stopped in time to find that it was a woman who was hit by him. Pierce stepped forward and reached out to help her, but when he saw her face clearly, he was shocked. The face in front of him was elegant and beautiful. The most important thing was not that she was beautiful, but that she looked a little similar to Amber. At that time, he was stunned.
And the woman who was hit by him on the ground began to cry undisguisedly because of the pain. Pierce was a little embarrassed. “Where did you get hurt? Shall I take you to the hospital to have a look?”
The attendant next to him hurriedly reminded him, “Mr. Hammond, it’s getting late. They’re all waiting for you. Leave this matter to me!” As soon as he got the reminder, Pierce remembered his purpose of coming here. He hesitated for a moment and then handed it over to the attendant.
Later, after the meeting, he asked about the details of this matter. The accompanying staff told him that the young lady did not go to the hospital and said that she had nothing to do and insisted on leaving.
This matter passed like this, and Pierce did not pay much attention to it. However, what he did not expect was that he would meet her again in the United States, and she was seriously injured like this.
While thinking about it, the car stopped at the gate of the factory. Pierce got out of the car and hurried into the factory.
After Pierce dealt with the factory, he went to the hospital to see Kelsey. After the operation, Kelsey was sent to the intensive care unit. The doctor said that her life was not in danger for the time being.
Pierce asked the driver to take care of her in the hospital, and he went home.
When he got home, it was already midnight. He habitually went to Mel’s room to have a look. When he opened the door, he saw Rodney holding Mel in his arms and sleeping soundly in his arms. Pierce couldn’t help but feel touched.
Rodney’s feelings for Amber weren’t fake. He could tell that if he hadn’t had such a mother, he and Amber would have been very happy!
He gently closed the door and stepped out. There were soft footsteps behind him. Amber heard the noise. “You’re back? I’ll make you supper.”
Pierce stopped her. “Go and get some rest. I’ll have the servants make the supper. You’re two people now, so you should have a good rest.”
“I know. Don’t worry. I’m not that pampered!” With that, the two of them went downstairs gently.
Rodney also woke up. He gently let go of Mel in his arms, got up, and walked out. Seeing Amber go to the kitchen to prepare supper for Pierce, he was really upset. In the past happy days, he worked late, and Amber also prepared dinner for him as he did now.
Feeling a little sad, he turned around and returned to Mel’s room in a heavy mood. Looking at his son who was sleeping soundly on the bed, the sadness in his heart gradually disappeared. It was good that his son was here.
He couldn’t help but lower his head and kiss Mel’s face again. “Son, you must stand on my side. Only when you stand on my side, I will change my mind. I beg you!”
In the South City, night fell. Itzel and Celia secretly came to the hospital. The hospital was very quiet at this time, and there were not too many idle personnel. When they went to the operating room, Itzel
bumped into a nurse on duty. “Dr. Lott, what are you doing here now?”
Itzel’s heart was filled with bad luck when she saw the nurse. How could she have met someone? The purpose of the surgery was to prevent others from knowing the truth. Although she was unhappy, she still had a smile on her face. “I forgot something in the hospital. Come and get it.”
The nurse believed her and said goodbye to her politely. Itzel quickly opened the door of the operating room and entered the operating room. A few minutes later, Celia came to the operating room accompanied by Shannon. “You didn’t meet anyone on the way, did you?”
“No,” Shannon replied.
Itzel was relieved and ordered Celia to lie down on the operating table. They had been preparing for this day for a long time. Celia had started to get acupuncture and take medicine two months ago to prepare for the embarrassing treatment, so this time it would be very smooth. Itzel first began to incite Celia’s embarrassing treatment, and then began to take the eggs. The operation was quite smooth. Soon, the blood sugar was removed, and then the blood sugar was put into the culture fluid.
A few hours later, Celia’s marrow and the sperm provided by Rodney, which had been stored before, were put into the dish to be combined. Itzel told Celia that she could be wordned in three to five days and asked her to go home first to wait for news.
“What did you say? Rodney went to the United States?” When Elliot arrived at the company early in the morning, Walter told him a piece of bad news that surprised him.
Walter nodded. “Yes, he took a flight early in the morning and hasn’t come back yet.”
Elliot’s face darkened. At this time, Rodney ran to the United States for Amber’s sake. His skin was thicker than the city wall. Amber had already made it clear that he had nothing to do with him, and he had also decided to marry Pierce. It was really hateful that he would continue to pester him.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
When Walter saw Elliot’s expression, he knew that he was angry. He also guessed the purpose of Rodney’s trip. He was afraid that Elliot would forget about the public because of his own interests. In order to prevent Rodney from taking action in the United States with Amber, he hurriedly said, “The sports meeting is about to start. It’s a good thing for us to leave South City at this time.”
Elliot glared at Walter. “What’s so good about him? Do you think I’m afraid of him? So what if he stays in South City? Isn’t he going to be defeated by me?”
Walter said, “That’s true. In the beginning, he couldn’t compete with us for the company’s development. Now that we have the drawing designed by Issac in person, we are sure to win this time. However, we can’t let down our guard in this special period.”
“Well, you can leave now.” Elliot’s face was still gloomy, and he couldn’t be happy at all. Of course, he understood what his loyal assistant meant. However, business was important, and the happiness of the person he loved was equally important. He had to quickly confirm whether Rodney went to the United States to make trouble for Amber. He waved his hand impatiently. He sent Walter out, picked up the mobile phone on the table and called Amber.
Yesterday, he called Breanna and heard her say that Madam Hammond had agreed to the marriage between Pierce and Amber. At that time, he couldn’t tell what he was feeling.
Although he was engaged to Breanna and could no longer be with Amber, he still loved Amber deeply in his heart. When he learned that she was getting married, he felt as if his heart was being pricked by tens of millions of needles.
However, when he thought back to how Amber had suffered over the past few years, and how he was now able to have someone who loved her deeply like him to take care of her and protect her, he was happy for her.
However, Rodney, a shameless scoundrel, had chased after them all the way to the United States. He was definitely trying to ruin Amber and Pierce’s marriage. He couldn’t just stand by and watch and let Rodney succeed.
At this moment, it was nine o’clock in the evening in the US. Amber was taking a shower for Mel in the bathroom.
After dinner today, she took Mel for a walk in the garden. Rodney also came over to play hide and seek with Mel. In the past two days, Mel had been getting along well with him, so she agreed immediately and asked Amber to join them.
Seeing that Mel was so interested, Amber couldn’t stop her, so he had to play with them. Mel had a good time, making her clothes dirty and sweating. Amber was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he quickly took him back to the house to take a shower.
The phone was placed on the table in the outside room. The bathroom door was closed, and the mother and son were singing loudly again. The phone rang for a long time, but they didn’t hear it.
Elliot felt strange and dialed again. At this time, Rodney came to see Mel. He knocked on the door and no one opened it. He opened the door and saw that the mobile phone on the table was flashing. The mother and son were singing happily in the bathroom.
He walked over and picked up his phone. Elliot’s name flashed on the screen, causing Rodney’s brows to furrow slightly.
Elliot was already engaged and still came to pester Amber. When he thought of how Amber had been by this playboy’s side for such a long time and how Elliot was unwilling to let go of her, and how he had been making things difficult for him, he became angry.
Now that Amber was in the United States, it was outrageous for this guy to call him. He was angry. He didn’t care about how rude it was to answer Amber’s phone, so he pressed the answer button without hesitation.
On the phone, Elliot’s voice was very urgent. “Hello, Amber? I’m Elliot. I heard that Rodney went to America. Did he trouble you again?”
The corners of Rodney’s mouth twitched and he said grumpily, “Why are you so sure that I’m here to cause trouble for Amber?”
Elliot was shocked. He didn’t expect that it was Rodney who was listening to the phone. “Why are you here? Where’s Amber?”
Rodney glanced at the bathroom door. A thought flashed through his mind and the corners of his lips curled up. “She’s taking a shower.”
“… That’s impossible. You can ask Amber to answer the phone.” Elliot took a deep breath. Rodney meant that he was with Amber again, but he didn’t believe it.
He knew very well that before Amber went to the United States, he had decided not to pay attention to Rodney anymore. Moreover, he was going to marry Pierce now. How could he be with Rodney? However, why was her phone in Rodney’s hands?
“I told you that she was taking a shower and I don’t have time to listen to your call.” Elliot’s voice was very loud. Rodney frowned and walked slowly to the window. This position was far away from the bathroom. He didn’t want to quarrel with the mother and son who were singing happily in the bathroom. He didn’t want Elliot to hear Mel singing. Otherwise, he would know that he was lying. He hated Elliot a lot. Today, he could vent his anger on him.
“I don’t believe your nonsense!” Elliot was even more furious. “Rodney, do you want face? Amber is going to marry Pierce, but you still come to the United States to make trouble. What on earth do you want to do to let her go?”
Rodney smiled and said, “Who said that Amber is going to marry Pierce? She is my wife, and Mel is my son. How can I let my wife marry another man and let my son call another man father?”
“You… How did you know that Mel is your son?” Elliot’s heart skipped a beat. He never thought that Rodney would know about Mel’s family background. He thought that Rodney went to the United States just to get Amber back, but he didn’t expect that there was such a reason.
“Haha!” Rodney laughed happily. “Speaking of this, I have to thank your fiancee, Breanna. She is so kind that she can’t bear to let her brother separate our family. That’s why she destroyed our family and told me Mel’s family background.
“Are you lucky enough to have such a considerate fiancee? You have to treat her well in the future. Don’t look at the pot in your bowl and think about other women. Well, my wife is going to take a bath soon. I won’t talk to you anymore. Goodbye!”
After that, he hung up the phone.
