At that moment, Rodney had arrived.
Seeing his mother rolling down the stairs, he was shocked and hurried forward to save her. âMom, are you okay?â
Rachel screamed, âMy leg, my leg hurts so much!â
Amber was also shocked when he saw Rachel rolling down the stairs. However, when she saw Rodney, she did not care about her footsteps and continued to walk out with her son in her arms.
Elliot and Noemi followed her closely. The three of them walked to the front desk. Amber told the nurseâs identity on the surface and asked her to go through the discharge formalities for Mel.
The nurse frowned. âYou said youâre the mother of a child. Do you have any proof?â
âYes, Iâll show you my ID card and household register.â Amber hurriedly took out his ID card from his bag. She had just gotten off the plane, so she carried her ID card and household register with her, which could prove her relationship with Mel.
The nurse looked at her certificate and said, âThe childâs mood is very unstable now. I suggest that you donât be in such a hurry to get the child out of the hospital. Youâd better stay for two more days to observe his condition.â
âNo, I have to get him out of the hospital immediately.â Amber did not dare to let Mel stay here any longer. With that woman Rachel around, Melâs illness would only worsen.
The nurse had no choice but to say, âIf you insist, you have to sign an automatic discharge application.â
âOkay, Iâll sign it.â Amber only hoped to leave quickly and get her to sign anything.
Rachel screamed on the ground, and Rodney was also frightened. He immediately called the doctors and nurses to save her.
Rachel was pushed into the examination room. After checking, the doctor told Rodney that Rachelâs leg was broken and she was going to have an operation immediately.
Rachel was pushed into the operating room for an operation. Rodney leaned against the outside and waited for the result. His mother was old and couldnât stand any torture. Seeing his worried face, Deon comforted him. âNothing will happen. Donât worry!â
It was not easy to complete the operation. Rodney and Deon pushed Rachel into the operating room together. Although Rachel had done the operation, she still felt painful. Seeing her son crying and cursing, she forced Rodney to take Mel back.
He also said that he would not let go of Amber. Looking at such a mother, Rodney had a headache. His previous worry was ruined by Rachelâs scolding. He ordered Riya to guard Rachel, and then he turned around and left the ward.
Seeing her son leave, Rachel was so angry that she cursed again. She even blamed Riya. Riya was silent and hated Rachel to the extreme.
After Rodney went out of the hospital, he called Amber to ask about Melâs situation. He thought that Amber would not answer his phone, but the phone was soon connected. Amber said to him in a cold tone, âRodney, from now on, I hope you will never disturb us again. Otherwise, I will make sure that you will never see Mel for the rest of your life.â
After saying that, Amber hung up the phone. Rodney stared at the phone and felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.
He didnât expect things to turn out like this. He originally thought that as long as he worked hard and expressed his sincerity to Amber, Amber would definitely be moved by him. He would make Mel acknowledge him as her father and get married to him again. The family of three would reunite happily.
Who would have thought that after being disturbed by Rachel like this, all his previous efforts would be in vain. Now, not to mention letting Amber agree to marry him and let him reconcile with Mel, it would be difficult for him to get Amberâs forgiveness.
After Rachel called Itzel in the United States and told her that Mel was Rodneyâs child, she did not tell Celia and Shannon the news immediately. The matter had been confirmed and they could not change anything. Now that Celia had just had an operation, she was afraid that the news would affect Celia, so she hid the news first and planned to talk about it later.
Of course, Itzel wasnât idle either. She had to think of a way to incite Rachel to put on a big show. At that time, she would let Amber and Rodney fight to the death. She would then come and reap the benefits.
Itzel was thinking about how to scheme when Rachel called and said that she was injured in the hospital.
Itzel immediately went to see her. Rachel was lying on the hospital bed, gasping. The feeling of fracture was not good. When she saw her confidant Itzel, she immediately told Itzel what had happened. âDamn Amber, I will not let her go! I have already called the police. This time, I will never let her be safe and sound.â
Itzel was secretly delighted when she heard that. She didnât need to worry about it at all. That was great. Of course, she had to cheer for it.
âItâs so hateful. After all, you are an elder. Is she so mean? Donât let her go, or she will be insatiable in the future.â
âI think so too. I must cure her this time.â
âItâs just that Rodney wonât let you touch her, will he?â she asked tentatively. Last time, Amber rushed to the Barron family and slapped Rachel in the face. Wasnât it better for Rodney to let go of the matter? Wasnât it a little better this time?
âDonât mention that heartless thing. I called the police and he even said it was a family affair and asked the police to close the case. This is a typical example of a married woman forgetting her mother. This time, I will never give in!â
After thinking about it, Rachel was still angry. âLook at me, Iâm injured like this. He left me in the hospital without a shadow. He doesnât care about my life at all. He called the nanny to serve me. Iâm really cold-hearted. This time, I must make them restless!â
âYes! Find a lawyer to sue Amber immediately and sue her for intentional injury. Anyway, you are now seriously injured in the hospital. She must be responsible for the crime!â
With Itzelâs encouragement, Rachel became more determined. She was confident that she would teach Amber a lesson. Wasnât she looking down on him? She was determined to let him know how powerful she was.
Amber took Mel out of the hospital after handling the discharge formalities. After getting in the car, Mel quieted down in Amberâs arms.
The scene just now frightened the little girl. He held Amberâs neck tightly and looked in the direction of the hospital in horror, for fear that the bad mother-in-law would catch up with him and take him away. Amber kept comforting him, repeatedly saying that the bad mother-in-law would never take him away again. Only then did he feel relieved.
âAmber, where are we going now?â Elliot, who was sitting in the driverâs seat, glanced at Amber and slowed down slightly.
Amber looked down at Mel, who was tired and half-closed, and whispered, âLetâs go to the Second Peopleâs Hospital.â
Mel moved and suddenly opened her eyes. She stared at Amber in panic. âNo, mom, Iâm not going to the hospital. I want to go home.â
Amberâs heart tightened and she hurriedly comforted him. âOkay, okay, we wonât go to the hospital. Weâll go home soon.â
Noemi sat next to them and coaxed Mel. The child soon quieted down. She sighed, gently pulled the corner of Amberâs clothes, and said what to do with her mouth.
Amber frowned slightly. She was also worried. Now Melâs mood was very unstable, and she had a resistance to going to the hospital. If she insisted on sending him to the hospital, he would definitely cry again. But his physical condition was very bad, and she would be worried if he did not go to the hospital to continue to observe and treat.
Elliot suddenly said, âWhy donât we take Mel to my house first? Iâll call a doctor and a special guard to take care of Mel right away. In this way, we donât have to worry about Melâs illness and he wonât be afraid. Besides, it wonât be so easy to find you.â
Noemi immediately agreed. âThatâs a good idea. If you go to the hospital, Rachel will definitely find you and scare Mel.â
âIâm sorry to trouble you. Why donât we go home first?â It was possible to invite a doctor and a special guard to take care of Mel, but it was too inconvenient to live in Elliotâs house. Amber was really embarrassed to trouble him again. Besides, he was engaged, so it would be criticism for her and Mel to live in his house.
Elliot, of course, understood Amberâs concerns. He thought for a moment and said, âIf you find it inconvenient, you can live in my villa in the west of the city. Itâs very close to the TV station. Miss Herrera can move over and live with you for a few days so that I can accompany you.â
Amber thought for a moment and agreed.
After Riya called Shannon and told her the news of Rodney and Amberâs return, Shannon began to calculate in her heart.
Mel was a big problem for Rodneyâs son. Maybe all their previous plans would be wasted. She had to discuss it with Itzel. She called Itzel and Itzel was ready to meet her. The two of them signed a contract to meet at the coffee shop.
As soon as they met, Shannon told Itzel that Riya told her that Mel was Rodneyâs son. Itzel sighed and said, âI knew about it a long time ago. I was worried about Celia. She just finished the operation and was afraid that it would affect her mood, so I didnât say anything. Now that you know it, I wonât hide it anymore.â
âYou should have talked to me earlier.â Shannon complained. âRodney has a deep affection for Amber. Now that he has a son, he will definitely persuade Rachel to agree. Rachel has a big son. You should tell me earlier so that I can find a way sooner.â
âYou donât have to think of a way. Now Rachel and Amber are fighting.â
Itzel told him about the dispute between Rachel and Amber. âDonât worry. Rachel will never let Amber marry into the family. She is now asking a lawyer to sue Amber. With Rachel there, Amber and Rodney are destined to be enemies.â
Hearing that, Shannon felt a little relieved. âItâs just that the child is always a problem.â
âThe child is sick. He has leukemia. Whether he can be cured or not is still a problem.â Itzel did not think that the child was a problem. âAnyway, Rachel wants a grandson and doesnât want a mother. What are you afraid of?â
âItâs not easy to explain to Channing,â Shannon reminded him. âWithout this child, Celia, who is pregnant with Rodneyâs child, will marry him. Now that I have this child, I have to spend more time to explain it. Itâs a headache to think about it.â
âItâs not a big deal. Itâs okay to blame it on Rodney. Itâs not Celiaâs fault that Rodney was drunk.â Itzel sneered. âKelsey has gone abroad and canât come back. Weâll blame everything on her.â
âThatâs the only way to explain it.â Shannon couldnât come up with a good idea for the time being. Itzel told her her personal information and told her to have a good discussion with Celia. She didnât want to expose herself in front of Channing.
After a discussion, they broke up and left the coffee shop.
With Itzelâs encouragement, Rachel rubbed her hands together and tried to make things difficult for Amber. After Itzel left, she immediately called her lawyer to the hospital and asked him what punishment Amber would receive in such a situation.
The lawyer repeated the case and said that such a situation could result in three years of imprisonment, imprisonment, and supervision. Of course, it could also be compensated and reconciled. It was mainly up to her.
Rachel was secretly happy after listening to the lawyerâs analysis. This time, she wanted Amber to beg her. She had to kneel down and beg her for forgiveness. Otherwise, she would definitely let her go to jail.
As soon as the lawyer left the hospital, he called Rodney and told him about Rachelâs intention to sue Amber. Hearing this, Rodney rushed to the hospital without stopping. âMom, how long are you going to make trouble for no reason? Stop now! Stop making trouble!â
âAm I being unreasonable? Look at what Iâm like now. You just watched that woman beat me like this without showing any sign.
Are you still my son?â
âWasnât this caused by accident?â
âWhat carelessness? She did it on purpose. She hated me so much that she wanted me to die, so she tortured me like this!â
âAre you being unreasonable? If you hadnât brought Mel back on your own initiative, Amber wouldnât have worried about you.â
âIs it wrong for me to see my grandson?â Rachel shouted at the top of her voice, âYou ungrateful b*stard! Iâve worked so hard to raise you up, but you treat me like this for a woman. Is your conscience eaten by a dog? Let me tell you, Iâm going to sue her this time. I must let her have a taste of the prison!â
