Chapter 98: Chapter 100

Amber’s words made Channing in no mood to eat fruit. He took a bank card and went to Amber’s room. “Amber, this card is for you. The password is your birthday.”

Amber did not refuse to take the card and put it in his bag. “If you have any difficulties, just tell me. I will do my best to help you,”

Channing said again.

Amber did not believe what Channing had said. She smiled faintly and said, “Thank you, Mr. Black!”

Channing saw that she was neither cold nor hot, so he could only sigh and leave. He walked downstairs with a gloomy face.

Shannon came over and held a bank card in her hand. “Mr. Black, Amber must have had a hard time. I have some private money here. Please give it to her for me.”

Shannon’s understanding made Channing sigh. “Forget it. How much money do you have? You can keep it for Celia. I’ll find a way to solve it!” Channing entered the study as he spoke.

Shannon didn’t really want to pay. She just wanted to gain a good reputation. Channing didn’t want money. When she saw Channing enter the study, she put away her card and went to Celia’s room.

Seeing her mother come in, Celia began to complain angrily, “Mom, this b*tch is too bad. I wondered why she came back at this time. She is trying to make us all unhappy! I can’t stand it anymore. I must find a way to drive her out.”

“What can you do?” Shannon asked. If there was a way, she would have taken action a long time ago. How could she wait until now?

“Mom, why do you think this b*tch came back? She used to beg her like that, but she refused to come back. Why does she want to come back now?”

“I don’t know.” Shannon was very annoyed. She had been wondering why Amber would come back, but she couldn’t figure it out.

“It’s said that mother and son are closely linked. Why didn’t she bring her child back when she was still so young? It’s really strange.”

Speaking of the child, Shannon was also stunned. “Yes, why didn’t Amber bring the child back but come back alone?” “Mom, Dad doesn’t know that she will have a baby. If Dad knows that she will have a baby, it will be troublesome.”

“There won’t be any trouble, but you are right. She has to take time to tell your father that she has a child. The child is her soft spot. If we can let the child live in it, she won’t be so disgusted with us in front of the child.”

“Will she bring the child back?”

“I don’t know. I’ll talk to your father now.”

Shannon went to Channing’s study. She reached out to knock on the door and then reached out to push it open, but the door could not be pushed open. Channing had locked the door inside.

Shannon was stunned. Why did Channing lock the door? Why did he hide in the study alone?

While thinking about it, Channing opened the door and saw Shannon’s impatient face. “What’s the matter?”

“Mr. Black, I have something to tell you.” Shannon suppressed her doubts and tried to put on a smile on her face.

“What’s the matter?” Channing asked her to go in.

“About Amber, I just heard from Celia that Amber has a child.”

Channing’s face was full of disbelief. “Amber has a child? Doesn’t Amber know how to give birth?”

“Celia heard from Rodney that Amber had a child of about two or three years old. He also said that the father of the child was dead and Amber led a hard life with the child alone...”

Channing did not hear what Shannon said. He hurried upstairs and knocked on Amber’s door. Amber came to open the door in his pajamas. He saw Channing’s impatient face. “Are you going to sleep or not?”

“Amber, I heard that you have a child?”

“Mr. Black, why are you so surprised that I have a child?” Amber asked with a sneer. Celia had already known that she had a child. Now she told Channing that she didn’t know what his intention was. However, no matter what their intention was, it had nothing to do with her. Her child would not have anything to do with these people.

“Do you really have a child?” Channing could not believe it. “When did you get married? Who is the father of the child? And why didn’t you bring the child back?”

“The child’s father is dead. As for why I don’t bring the child back, Mr. Black, do you think I will bring the child back to a dirty home?”

“Amber, I am your father, the grandfather of the child. At least you should tell me about the child.”

“Grandfather?” Amber sneered. She had never intended to acknowledge this hypocritical father of hers. Naturally, she did not intend to have Mel acknowledge Channing. “What can you do to me?”

“I...”

Amber smiled sarcastically. “Well, it’s too late. I have to go to work tomorrow. Mr. Black, can you talk about it later?”

After that, she closed the door. Channing looked at the door and sighed. He turned around and went downstairs in disappointment. Shannon stepped forward and asked, “How is it? Is it true?”

“Don’t bother me!” Channing had just glared at her and entered the study. The study door slammed shut.

It was the first time that Channing had been angry. Shannon felt a little uneasy. Was it a good thing or a bad thing to tell him that Amber had a child?

Channing just fell down on the sofa. It was really amazing that Amber could give birth to a baby. Since Amber could give birth to a baby, why was he able to diagnose pregnancy at that time?

Thinking of the illness that Itzel had treated Amber, Channing’s expression changed. Itzel hated Ashley so much. Was there something wrong with it?

Channing did not sleep well that night. The next day, he called Itzel. When they met, he went straight to the point. “Didn’t you say that Amber could not have a baby? What’s going on now?”

Itzel replied calmly, “I just found out about this. To be honest, I also find it strange.”

“Strange? Can you push everything away with just two strange words?” Channing growled at Itzel. “You made Amber look like this just because you saw it wrongly. Don’t you think you owe her an explanation?”

“All my previous diagnosis and treatment were recorded. You can check Amber’s condition and see if I was wrong!” Itzel retorted.

“Itzel, I know who you are. The diagnosis can be faked. I now have reason to believe that you deliberately harmed Amber.”

“Did I harm her? What motive do I have?” Itzel asked.

“You hate that the person Reece loves is fragrant, so you vent your anger on Amber.”

“Mr. Black, isn’t your imagination too rich? Why should I be angry with a dead person?” Itzel asked, “Don’t forget that the final winner is me, not Ashley. As a winner, why should I be angry with a loser?”

“That’s hard to say!” Channing had just stared at Itzel. He had seen how scheming this woman was. Back then, she had used such a method to deal with Ashley. She had really done something wrong.

“You can check it out and see if I hurt her or not.” Itzel was not afraid at all. “Think about it yourself. When did Amber come to the hospital to have an examination? She came to the hospital to have an examination after marrying Rodney for two years without any movement. If it was my fault, why didn’t she give birth in the next two years?”

Channing didn’t make a sound. He would definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. Itzel also knew Channing well. She sneered and said, “Channing, why do you only question me and make Amber suffer? Can’t you take a step back and think that Amber’s illness might have been cured by me?”

“Have you cured him?”

“I’ve prescribed so much medicine for Amber. She may be pregnant because she took the medicine I prescribed.” Itzel argued for herself.

Channing stared at Itzel for a few minutes. “It’s best if you didn’t lie. If I knew you were going to hurt my daughter, I wouldn’t spare you!”

Watching Channing striding away, Itzel sneered. “Channing, you will never find out the truth. There is nothing wrong with my diagnosis and the medicine I prescribed. The real truth is that you will never think of it.”

As the saying goes, if you don’t do anything bad, you won’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Although Itzel wasn’t worried about what Channing would find out, she still couldn’t feel at ease.

When she got home from work in the evening, she opened the door and saw a room of lights, but she couldn’t see Reece’s figure. Without thinking about it, she knew that Reece must be continuing his carving in her bedroom.

“When did such a day come?” Itzel sighed and threw her bag on the sofa and sat down.

Ashley’s black and white photos were hung on the wall in front of her. In the photos, Ashley was smiling, which was so beautiful that Itzel became more and more blocked.

It seemed that she was the winner in the fight with Ashley, but only she and Reece knew the truth. Although Reece lived under the same roof as her, they were not lovers. They were just roommates who lived together. After so many years, Reece had never slept with her.

She had tried to seduce Reece, but she never succeeded. Itzel felt that she was very cheap. She knew that Reece was not pretending to be her, and that Reece couldn’t forget Ashley, but she didn’t want to leave him at all.

It wasn’t that she didn’t feel wronged, it wasn’t that she didn’t hate him. Every time she couldn’t hold on any longer, she would fiercely vent her anger on the portrait of Ashley in the living room.

“Ashley, did you see that? The man you love most lives with me every day, your husband is occupied by your best friend, and your daughter was robbed of her husband by her sister. Let me tell you, this is retribution. I will treat your daughter like how you treated me back then. I will let everything that happened back then repeat itself with your daughter. Ashley, wait and see how I will repay your daughter step by step!”

Every time she shouted like this more than ten times, her heart would be comfortable, and she would have the motivation to continue to hold on.

Today, Itzel was no exception. She sneered at Ashley’s portrait and said, “Ashley, your daughter and the son of your most beloved man are together. But don’t worry, I won’t let her succeed. I want your most beloved man to be a couple. Just wait and see!”

After saying these words, Itzel felt more comfortable. She got up and walked to the door of Reece’s bedroom. There was no response from inside. She pushed the door open and saw Reece sitting on the ground and carving his precious wood carving.

The wood carving had already taken shape, and it could be seen that it was a woman. Since the death of Ashley, Reece only knew how to carve wood carvings. Every time the wood carving was made by Ashley, he would smile, be angry, stand, or sit. As long as it was the appearance of Ashley that Reece could think of, he would carve it. In the house where they lived, there was a whole room to store wood carvings.

Itzel suppressed the rolling emotions in her heart and walked over to Reece. She stood beside him and said, “Reece, I have something to tell you.”

“I’m very busy. Tomorrow!” Reece didn’t even look at her.

“It’s about Elliot!” Hearing the word “Elliot”, Reece stopped. It could be seen that his son held a high position in his heart. “What is it?”

“I heard that Elliot is in a relationship with that divorced woman again. You’d better go and persuade him!”

It was she who told Reece about Amber and Elliot last time. She belittled Amber so much that he was worthless. Reece was very angry when he heard that his son found a divorced woman and had a child. For this reason, he even flew abroad to find the old master to help them.

“What did you say?” As expected, Reece’s expression changed when he heard the news. He put down the wood carving in his hand and stood up. “I’ll call the old man and tell him.”

Seeing that Reece was going to make a phone call, Itzel’s face showed a sneer. “Reece, if you know that your son likes Ashley’s daughter, will you stop him?”
