Chapter 90
Chapter 90
Amber was furious to the extreme. Channing had been an official for a long time, and he never forgot how he behaved in the official circles. He even used the set of official circles on her. He left her with all the billions of assets. If she cared about those billions of assets, she would never have allowed him to divorce so easily.
What she was most angry about was that Channing had been deceived so easily. Channing was not a fool. The reason why he tolerated the b*tch and her daughter for everything must be for his future. A person who did not care about family affection for his future had no right to be her father. At this point, she was completely indifferent to Channing.
Back home, Amber was very depressed. Ashton asked her with concern, “What did he want from you?”
Amber sighed and told Ashton that Channing and Shannon had asked Celia to give birth to a child for Rodney.
Back then, she had only told Ashton and Rodney that Rodney had cheated on her, but she had never said that the person who had cheated on her was Celia.
Hearing this, Ashton was so angry that he trembled. “The person who has an affair with Rodney turned out to be Shannon’s daughter? B*tch! They are all b*tch!”
The hatred in his heart was that Shannon had seduced Channing, and now her daughter had seduced Amber’s husband. It was really a bad thing.
What made him the most angry was Channing. He watched his illegitimate daughter steal Amber’s man from him and even agreed to marry his illegitimate daughter to Rodney. Were all the men in the world dead?
“Uncle, don’t be angry. It’s not worth it!” Amber was not angry. At that time, she was so angry that she lost her mind. That was why she beat and scolded Celia.
Now that he turned around, he realized that his actions were laughable. If he didn’t have that kind of intention, could it be that Celia could make him fall for her?
The most hateful thing was that he actually asked such harsh conditions for Celia’s divorce after the incident was revealed. Amber really hated himself for being blind.
“Amber, you should have told me that if I knew that the daughter of that b*tch was a mistress, I would have risked my life to let Channing get what he wanted!” Ashton gritted his teeth in hatred.
“My uncle has passed away.” Amber comforted him. “Channing and his daughter are not worthy of our anger. The b*tch and her daughter are not worth our anger. We should live our lives well.”
“If that’s the case, I just don’t want to give up. How could a clever and pure person like your mother choose such a person?” Ashton sighed.
“At that time, so many people pursued your mother. The one Channing didn’t belong to an outstanding person at all. At that time, I thought that the person Channing had evil intentions, but your mother said that his promotion was worth entrusting to the rich people for the rest of his life… Alas! It would be great if I had stopped him at that time.”
“Bad intentions? What happened?”
“Back then, one of your mother’s friends entrusted the valuable ancient paintings to your mother to keep. Later on, these ancient paintings were found to be fake.” Ashton sighed.
“What does this have to do with Channing?” Amber did not understand.
“At that time, Channing was pursuing your mother,…” Ashton did not continue.
Amber was stunned and his heart sank to the bottom. “Do you suspect that he lost an ancient painting?” All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Ashton nodded. “I’m just suspecting that there’s no evidence, and it can’t be ruled out that your mother’s friend was cheated and bought a fake.”
“Uncle, he must have done it!” Amber’s face was full of anger. He told him that Channing had told Ashton about the antiques in his family.
Ashton’s face suddenly darkened. “Are you telling the truth?”
“He said it himself, saying that those antiques are priceless!”
“It’s him! It’s him!” Ashton slammed his fist on the table. His face was livid and he gnashed his teeth. “Why is this Channing so shameless? Your mother was really blind back then!”
“Yes, if Mom knew that she married such a man, she would definitely wish she was dead.” Amber was also very angry. “Uncle, what happened after that?”
“Your mother’s friend went bankrupt because of this, and his reputation was ruined…” Ashton’s face was pale, and his voice trembled with great anger. “He didn’t know who he was! He got into trouble because he didn’t know who he was!”
“Uncle, who’s that friend of mom’s?”
“It’s all over! It’s all over!” Ashton stood up unsteadily. “Amber, I’m very tired. Uncle, go in and lie down for a while.”
Looking at Ashton’s staggering steps, Amber looked puzzled. “What’s wrong with my uncle?”
The next day, the news of Rodney and Celia’s engagement appeared in the headlines of the major media in South City. Amber saw the news in Noemi’s house.
The person in charge of the press conference was actually the public relations manager of Rodney’s company. Amber actually saw Rachel.
Rachel looked kind and amiable with a smile on her face. This kind of Rachel was strange to Amber. In Amber’s memory, she seemed to have never seen her smile when she married Rodney.
But now, her face was full of smiles as if she had found a treasure. It seemed that she really liked Celia very much! Rodney was dressed formally, and there was a charming smile on his handsome face. It turned out that he had personally announced the date of his engagement with Celia.
The reporters’ cameras lit up the press conference. Amber was stunned when he saw the smile on Rodney’s face. Mel also saw Rodney on TV. He pointed at Rodney and asked Amber, “Mom, is uncle getting married?”
“Yes.” Amber came to his senses.
“Uncle lied. He told me last time that he didn’t have a girlfriend.” Mel showed a sad expression.
“I like him so much, how can he lie to me? And Uncle Elliot, he is also a bad guy. He said he would be my father. I have called him father, but he doesn’t want us anymore.”
Amber reached out and hugged his little body. His heart ached to the extreme. Fortunately, Mel did not know that Rodney was his father. Otherwise, how sad would he be? And she would never let Mel know that his father was such a disgusting person!
Mel was still a child. After being angry for a while, she continued to play with toys. The door was opened. Ashton, who was going to buy fruit, came back angrily. “Uncle, didn’t you buy fruit? Why did
you come back empty-handed?”
“Amber, are you all right?” Ashton looked at Amber with concern.
“Nothing.” Amber smiled. Ashton was afraid that she would be sad when she saw the news of Rodney and Celia’s engagement. “Uncle, I’ve given up on him for a long time. I’m not sad. I’m not sad at all!”
“Child! Poor child!” Ashton was extremely upset when he saw Amber pretending to be strong.
“I promised you that my mother would take good care of you, but my uncle didn’t do it. I’ve always let you suffer. I’m sorry for your mother! I’m even more sorry for you!”
“Uncle, you have been very kind to me! Amber would have been homeless if it weren’t for you.” Amber’s words were sincere. When she had no one to rely on, Ashton had taken her in and raised her up. To her, Ashton was not only her uncle, but also her father.
“The woman Channing has been deceived and her conscience has been eaten up. How shameless she is to get engaged to the little b*tch!” The more Ashton thought about it, the angrier he became. “I can’t let the b*tch and her daughter’s plot succeed like this. I must expose their plot. I must make their hopes go bankrupt!”
“They’re willing to beat each other. Let’s let their families hurt each other.” Amber pulled Ashton.
“It’s just not worth it for you. If it weren’t for the b*tch mother and daughter, you wouldn’t have suffered such pain. Everything that the little b*tch has now is yours. It’s yours!”
“Uncle, there is nothing worth it or not. Everyone has their own goals. I never want to be the daughter of a secretary or a noble wife. My goal is very simple. I want to live with my favorite family and live happily every day! Now you and Mel are all I rely on. I am very satisfied and very happy!”
Ashton sighed. “Amber, I didn’t expect you to be more open-minded than your uncle! You’re right. It’s good to be content and happy!”
Mel had a fever in the middle of the night. Amber and Noemi hurriedly sent him to the hospital. This time, the fever was different from the past. The medicine and drip were useless at all.
Mel’s high fever was similar to that of leukemia in the early stage. The doctor suggested checking his blood. After drawing the blood, he found that there was something unusual in Mel’s blood. This discovery surprised the doctor very much. The abnormal temperature meant that the child might be infected with leukemia.
In order to prove that she had carried out a bone marrow examination on Mel, Amber was stunned when he came out. Her Mel actually had leukemia.
Amber couldn’t accept this result at all. She suspected that the hospital’s examination was wrong, so after Mel recovered a little, she flew abroad with Mel without stopping.
Pierce and Mel went to several hospitals one after another, and the results were exactly the same.
The doctor said that Mel got acute marrow cancer, which could last for 30 to 40 percent of five years. At present, the conservative treatment was to first use drugs to cure it to prevent the condition from getting worse. Then, he slowly performed the matching of bone marrow. If the matching was successful, he could immediately carry out bone marrow transplant.
However, bone marrow transplant was not necessarily 100% able to cure happily leukemia. There was only an 80% chance.
It was better to have 80% hope than nothing. Amber and Mel were immediately matched in bone marrow, but the result did not match. The hospital also searched everywhere for bone marrow that could match Mel’s dream. It could be imagined that all this was not easy.
In just a few days, Amber had lost his human form. Pierce also left his work to accompany her day and night. The doctor looked at Amber’s haggard face and suggested to her that it was the best method to treat Mel’s blood transplant.
The doctor suggested that Amber and Mel’s biological father give birth to another child and treat Mel’s leukemia with the blood of new babies.
Amber sat down on a chair in the hospital, while Pierce sat beside her. “It takes a long time, and we may not be able to find it. I think this method of giving birth is feasible.”
“Let me have a baby with that disgusting man? Don’t you want to make me sick?” Amber shook his head.
“Amber, for Mel, no matter how disgusting you are, you have to do it. You can tell him the truth. After all, he is his child. No matter what, he will definitely think of his child.” Pierce persuaded.
“I know him very well. Since he personally announced his engagement with Celia, it means that he values this matter very much. I don’t want to humiliate myself!”
“How do you know if you don’t try? For the sake of the child, even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, you have to try it. Can you bear to let Mel endure the torture of illness all the time?”
“He is my child, and mother and son are closely linked. How could I want to see him suffer?” Amber covered his face. “Do I really have to yield to that disgusting man? Men and toothbrush can’t be shared. Rodney is very dirty! Very dirty!”
“Amber, now is not the time to act on impulse. You have to think about the child. Rodney and Celia will get engaged the day after tomorrow. You have to stop them before they get engaged.”
Under the persuasion of Pierce, Amber picked up the phone and called Rodney. For so many years, his phone number had always been in her heart. She didn’t even need to think about it before she called him.
