When Rodney rushed into the house, he saw a mess. He first grabbed Noemi and his aunt, who were twisted together.
Immediately, he saw that Amber had pressed Rachel down on the sofa and gripped her neck tightly. Rachelâs eyes were rolling.
Rodney was shocked and stepped forward to pull Amber away.
Rachel was so choked by Amber that she couldnât breathe. For a second, she thought she would die. Now she finally breathed in the fresh air and gasped for breath.
âMom, how are you feeling?â Rodney anxiously tried to calm her down. Rachel gasped for breath and saw that her son seemed to have seen a savior.
âRodney, you came at the right time. Look at this little b*tch, sheâs already at home! Sheâs going to kill me!â Rachelâs eyes were filled with tears and snot.
Seeing the red mark on the back of his motherâs neck with disheveled hair, Rodney was also angry. He turned his head and glared at Amber. âAmber, what are you doing? Huh?â
âMu, you can ask your mother what she has done.â Amber gasped and glared at Rachel as if he wanted to eat her.
âMom, what exactly did you do?â Rodney looked at his mother again.
âI didnât do anything. This little b*tch rushed into our house and hit me without asking about anything. Oh, my head. Iâm so dizzy!â
âYouâre still pretending! Didnât you kidnap my son? Rachel, God is watching you. Youâll be punished for what youâve done!â
âI didnât kidnap her son. Rodney, believe me, I really didnât kidnap her son!â
âDonât pretend. You asked someone to take my son away last time. You must have done it today. Rachel, if anything happens to my son, I will make you pay with your life.â
While they were talking, Noemiâs phone rang. She answered the phone with a surprised look on her face. âMel has been found. I know. Weâll be back soon.â
Everyone heard Noemiâs words. Amber was stunned and his face was full of joy. âDid you really find Mel?â
âYes, she found it. She said that she fell into a ditch in the hospital.â Noemi pulled her and left. âLetâs go back and have a look!â
Seeing this, Rachel jumped up and stopped Amber. âRodney, did you hear that? Her son has been found. Mom has done everything. She rushed to my house and hit me without any reason. I canât bear it! Quickly call the police and let this little b*tch be taught a lesson. How dare she break into peopleâs house and hit people! I wonât let her go to jail!â
âAmber, apologize!â Rodney reached out and grabbed Amberâs hand. Amber had barged into a private house and hit someone. If Rachel really went to the police station, it would not be good for Amber.
âWhy should I apologize?â Amber snorted. âEven if she didnât do it this time, she asked someone to take my son away last time.
Moreover, she even called to threaten me to leave South City. Why should I apologize to a person who threatened my sonâs safety?â
âWhereâs the evidence?â Rachel shouted fiercely, âRodney, sheâs talking nonsense. Mom has never done such a thing.â
âAmber, no matter what happened last time, itâs wrong for you to rush into someone elseâs house and hit someone like this. I want you to apologize!â Rodney stared at Amber.
âMu, you want me to apologize? In your next life!â Amber snorted and shook off Rodneyâs hand. Rodney reached out and grabbed her again. âIf you donât apologize, donât think about leaving today!â
âRodney, Auntie, listen to me. Itâs said that mother and son are closely related. Amber is also looking for his son, so she is dizzy.
She doesnât mean to offend Auntie. Please let her go this time!â Celia, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly pleaded for Amber.
Seeing Celia, Amber sneered. âWho wants you to pretend to be kind?â
âLook at her! Look at how arrogant she is! She is so lawless!â Rachel was so angry that she was shivering.
âCelia, youâre too kind. Youâve always put in a good word for this b*tch. I wanted to pursue the matter of this b*tch pushing you into a miscarriage, but you stopped me. Just thinking about it makes me angry. If this b*tch hadnât pushed you into a miscarriage, my grandson would have been three years old. This vicious b*tch didnât repent and even went to her home to beat people. Iâm going to call the police to arrest her!â
Rachel picked up the phone and wanted to call the police. Celia stepped forward and stopped Rachel. âAuntie, please spare her this time! I beg you!â
She turned back to look at Rodney and said, âRodney, please persuade me!â
âMom, letâs forget about this matter. Letâs not pursue this matter any further,â Rodney said. âHurry up and leave!â
Amber was worried about Melâs situation. He turned around and left with Noemi. Unexpectedly, Rachel rushed up and stopped her. âNo! We canât let her go! I must give an explanation.â
Seeing this, Celia hurriedly came up and pulled Rachel. âAuntie, please let her go!â Rachel was unwilling to give in. She took Celiaâs high heels and stepped on Amberâs feet.
Amber grimaced in pain. He didnât even think about it when Rachel came up to him. With a slap, the slap landed heavily on Rachelâs face. Rodneyâs expression changed. âAmber, youâve gone too far!â
âHow can you do this?â Celia also looked at Amber in shock. Amber glared at Celia fiercely. She had just seen it clearly that Celia pushed Rachel over. âBitch!â
âShe hit me and scolded me...â Rachel was so angry that she fell back.
âMom... Auntie...â Rodney and Celia supported Rachel. Taking advantage of the chaos, Amber and Noemi strode out.
Amber and Noemi hurried back to the hospital. The nurse who took care of Mel began to complain when she saw them. âWhere did you go? Why did you come back so late?â
âWhere is the child?â
âThe child fell into the well and was soaked all over. He has a high fever and is getting an infusion.â
Amberâs heart ached terribly. He rushed to Mel, who was in an infusion. Melâs little face was burning red. She held Melâs hand and said, âBaby, Iâm sorry. Itâs my fault. Itâs my fault. I didnât think highly of you. Itâs all my fault!â
âFortunately, we were discovered. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.â The nurse interrupted.
âWho found him? I want to thank the person who saved my son.â
âIt was found by the family of a patient in the hospital. He sent your son and left without leaving his name,â the nurse replied.
âFortunately, someone found it.â Noemi was also glad.
After Rachel fainted, Rodney immediately laid her down. He pinched her and fed her medicine. After struggling for a long time, Rachel finally woke up.
âMom, how do you feel?â Seeing his mother wake up, Rodney breathed a sigh of relief. Rachel stared at her son for a while and suddenly burst into tears.
Rodney tried to persuade her for a long time before she stopped crying. âIn the past, you always said that my mother abused her.
My mother also admitted that she would not be cruel to her because she gave birth to a child. But you saw what happened today with your own eyes. You rushed home without any evidence. If you hadnât come quickly, she would have strangled me to death.
Before leaving, she even slapped me in front of you. No matter what, Iâm still her ex-wife and elder. Does she have any feelings for me?â
Rodney was silent. Amber had indeed gone too far, but his mother was not a good person. There must be a mystery behind what had happened today. He was silent for a long while before he spoke. âMom, did you threaten her with her child?â
âI did threaten her, but I just wanted to scare her and make her retreat. I didnât intend to hurt the child at all.â Rachel didnât want to deny it.
âMom, you threatened a mother with a child. Do you think that mother should put up with it?â Rodney knew that his mother must have done something bad to make Amber angry.
âAre you blaming me? But Iâm doing it for your own good.â Rachel did not feel that she had done something wrong. âYou only have that bitch in your heart. Iâm waiting to have a grandson!â
âMom, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I am a person, not a puppet. I have my own thoughts. Donât put your thoughts on me again, okay?â
âWell, I wonât put my thoughts on you, but I canât let this matter go like this today. I canât rush home and beat people without any reason. How can I face others if this matter gets out? I wonât let go of Amber. I must make her pay the price!â Rachel said cruelly.
âMom, what do you want?â Rodney was very agitated. Although he knew that it was very likely that his mother was in the wrong, Amber hitting his mother like this still made him sad. Even if his mother did not do anything wrong, she was still his mother-in-
law. Did she ever think about him when she hit him like this?
âI want you to call the police and let them deal with this matter. I want Amber to pay for it.â Rachel threatened.
âMom!â Rodney rubbed his temples. It was not a big deal to break into a private house and beat people. If his mother really did not benefit Amber, what should he do?
âRodney, Iâm your mother, the mother who gave birth to you and raised you. Are you just going to watch her hit me like that?
Donât do anything?â
Seeing that Rodney was silent, Rachel pretended to get up. âIf you donât call the police, Iâll call the police. There are security cameras installed at home. Iâll hand the video to the police. I donât believe that she can escape from the law.â
âMom, please let her go. Sheâs already very pitiful!â Rodney stopped her.
âAuntie, please let go of Amber. Itâs not easy for her to take care of a child alone. She must have been so anxious today that she was unreasonable to you.â Celia, who had been silent all the time, also stepped forward to persuade her.
âCelia, you are too kind and pure. If she were half as sensible and obedient as you, would I treat her like this?â Rachel said with hatred, âI donât care. I canât be at a disadvantage like this.â
âWhat do you want? Will you feel better after sending her to prison for a few days? Mom, she is still injured. She has a child to raise, and her child is only three years old. Can you bear it?â
âYes, Auntie has a child. The child is so young. Please let go of Amber for the sake of the child.â
The image of the lovely boy appeared in Rachelâs mind. She came here alone and knew the meaning of the child to her mother, but she was still unwilling to let go of Amber. âItâs okay if you want me to spare her. You must promise me one thing.â
âWhat is it?â
âYou cut her in half. Get engaged to Celia immediately. Donât be in contact with her anymore.â
Rodney didnât make a sound. Celia, who was standing to one side, immediately interrupted, âAuntie, Iâve already broken up with Rodney.â
âWhat did you say? When did it happen?â Rachel was shocked.
âWe broke up yesterday. Auntie, donât blame Rodney. It was my idea to break up with him. I feel very tired. I donât want to hang on any longer.â
âYou lied to me. Rodney must be the one who suggested breaking up. For Amber, right?â Rachel stared at Rodney.
âNo, it has nothing to do with Rodney. It was my idea to break up with him. I donât want to go on like this. I have someone I like,â
Celia replied.
Rachel stared at Celia and then at Rodney. She rolled her eyes and fainted again. This time, she really fainted, not pretending.
