S2| 34. Pity
“But …” Amber sighed before blinking slowly and turning her head towards the door, “what about Ruby? Will she be okay? What if she does something reckless again?”
Not expecting to get such a response, Adam froze. Furrowing his brows, he looked at his wife intently. "You don't have to worry, Precious. She threw herself in the pool to get my sympathy. Now, she doesn't have that kind of compelling reason anymore."
"She could have done it out of desperation."
Seeing that Amber's tension had not faded, Adam forced a smile. Gently, he stroked her cheek. "I don't want to repeat any mistake. Only twice have we been separated by misunderstandings. Now, we can't be trapped by her games anymore."
A second later, Adam pulled his wife into the kitchen. “Instead of thinking about such insignificant things, you better imagine the broccoli soup I'm about to serve. I plan to add lots of carrots and eggs to it. It must be really delicious.”
Smiling faintly, Amb

"Then how do you keep going?" Amber interrupted softly. When Ruby stared back, she shrugged. "Ed is like a thorn bush with strong root. To be able to hold it, you have to be near it." Ruby's eyes suddenly froze. That analogy made her confused. After a moment of silence, she closed her eyes under the bow of her head. Her heart was too heavy to bear. "Why is it so hard?" she muttered. "If you want my advice, keep going! You won't know what good things lie ahead if you don't come to it," Amber nodded reassuringly. "What if there isn't any? What if my life just gets bleaker?" "There must be. You know how bad Adam was when he left his family? The locals even called him Cannibal while I called him Mister Cold." As Ruby was thinking, Amber patted herself on the shoulder. "But then, he met me. His life suddenly became bright. Look at how my husband is now! Can you imagine if he is still attached to his family?" Without waiting for an answer, A

"You think I'm that bad?" Ruby raised an eyebrow. She was annoyed with Adam’s tone. "I could be here too because I had to." "So, you agree to stay at the Berg's residence?" Adam concluded, tapping the table with his index finger. "Yes! If you want to take me even now, I'm not afraid." Amber spontaneously lowered her head to hold back a laugh. Her heart was relieved to know Ruby had really changed. "Too bad, we can't take you right now," Adam sighed before glancing at his wife. "Mr. Berg asked us to come tomorrow. Do you mind if she stays the night?" Amber shook her head. A small smile graced her face. "It's fine. Besides, we've got an agenda for today and Ruby needs a break too." "Thank you for your understanding, Precious." "You're very welcome, Jewel." As the couple was showing affection, Ruby gave a faint snort. She could not deny that a part of her heart was still gloomy. Therefore, when night fell, she waited for A

"What takes her so long? Doesn't she only need to pack one suitcase?" Adam mumbled as he turned toward the cottage. His fingers kept tapping the steering wheel. His patience could really be running out. "Let her take her time, Jewel. We're not in a rush," Amber said softly. "But she shouldn't have kept us waiting. She's not the queen and we're not her chauffeur or assistant." Suddenly, Adam got out of the car. "Wait a minute and lock the door! I'll call her." Before Amber could answer, the door was closed again. She could only furrow an eyebrow seeing her husband running. "Why is Adam in such a hurry? And why did he ask me to lock the door? That's so weird." Even so, Amber still leaned to the left. For a few seconds, she struggled to reach the lock button. "Since when did you become this big, Jewel? Mom's starting to have trouble moving," she sighed as she held her stomach with the other hand. After trying for a few seconds, Am

Hearing the commotion from the gap of the door, Amber squirmed. With narrowed eyes, she peeked. Ruby seemed to be fighting with someone she did not know. "What happened?" Amber murmured as she wiped her face. Slowly, she removed the blanket and opened the door wider. Right at that moment, Ruby sat down on the snow. Her face was pale and her breath hitched. Sensing something was wrong, Amber rushed out to check. However, before she had time to ask, the woman with hands on stomach whispered, "Help me." Seeing the bloodied fingers, Amber gasped. After one quick breath, she dropped to her knees and grabbed Ruby's shoulders. "Why did you get hurt like this?" Amber sighed in panic. Without waiting for an answer or an order, she checked the surroundings. The man who had been with Ruby was out of sight, and so was Adam. Not knowing what to do, she started screaming, “Help! Help!" Adam gasped at his wife's desperation. His eyes widened and his breathin

Celine's eyes widened at the threat. She could not believe Edward had the heart to say it. "This isn't funny, Ed. You want to divorce me because of them? Has your love for me gone?" "It's been a long time since I've lost it. You're selfish, Celine. I should have never fallen in love with you." Once again, Ed urged his wife to take the phone. "Quickly call the killer!" "I can't! He always turns off his cell phone after calling me." With hands on hips, Ed grimaced. "You think I'm kidding? Just wait! Soon, your status will change to a widow." Without further ado, the man walked towards the door. He could not stand his wife anymore. However, after only a few steps, Celine had restrained his arm. " Don't be selfish, Ed! What about Keith? Think about the fate of our child!" "You have nothing to worry. I'll win custody of him since his mother is going to jail." In the glimpse of an eye, a slap landed on Ed's cheek. As the man sighed in disbel

While stroking her stomach, Amber looked at Ruby. She wanted to know what the nurse would examine and how it would turn out. Unbeknownst to her, the uniformed man was pushing the trolley not towards the patient's bed, but herself. "Thank you, Stupid Woman. Soon, your life will fill my bank account," the hit man thought. Slowly, his hand moved closer to the scalpel. However, just as he was gripping the weapon, the door suddenly opened. A second later, two girls rushed in, followed by a middle-aged man. Reluctantly, the hit man turned towards the nearest wall. He could only curse in silence. "Damn it! How come there are visitors at this hour?" "Amber! Is it true that you almost became a target for murder?" the girl with pigtails asked as she plopped down beside Amber. With a look of pity, she embraced the pregnant woman. "That was awful." "Then how is your friend? I can’t believe she dared to challenge the criminal," another girl asked, pointing her ind

"Who gave you order? Why would that person want to kill me?" Amber asked loudly even though her body could collapse at any time. "I don't know. Maybe, because you took her ex-husband?” Getting a clue, Amber sighed in disbelief. "Celine? She sent you here?" "Is there a final message you want to convey to her?" the hit man asked as he twirled the pen in his hand. He felt the upper hand. The prey had been cornered by the wall. "Yes." Amber swallowed. While holding back her fear, she covered her ears with her hands. "Tell her I won't die!" Just as the exclamation ended, a bullet whizzed. A second later, the hit man bent down clutching his bleeding thigh. His groan echoed throughout the parking lot. "God damn it!" Terrified, Amber fled away. The hit man quickly forgot the pain. However, before he could catch the prey, several policemen surrounded him. He could only bite his fingers as he saw the woman kneeling beside Adam. "Jewel? J

“Why are you only answering my calls now? You know how upset I am thinking about you? I heard you've been seriously injured,” Edward said as the call was received. His face was wrinkled and his eyes withered. There was absolutely no suspicion that prevented him from speaking. "Ruby? Why are you so quiet?" Adam smirked at that question. He could not tell if Ed’s sincerity was real or fake. However, the sound was peeling off old wounds. It took more strength for him to be able to speak, so Ed continued his speech. "You know what? I've filed for divorce. I'm sorry I left you. Celine wasn't the right woman for me. She's the devil. I was a fool for defending her all this time." As the clock was ticking, Adam remained silent. He still waited for the right moment to show his existence. "Hey, stop making me worry! I know the local media must be exaggerating. Celine hired that guy to kill Amber, not you. So, how are you doing? You're all right, aren't you?" "You know your wife hired a hi
