Chapter 572 Suspicion, Betrayal?


    It waste at night and quiet all around. The hospital corridor was totally silent. The nurses’ station was


    brightly lit.


    This level was the maternity ward and different from where Lyndall and Lone Wolf were. Jack didn’t


    look for Mr. Ward and Brent who were taking care of them. Jack wheeled himself towards the nurses’


    station.


    If Amber had gone out thiste at night, the nurses should know about it. But when he reached the


    nurses’ station, he had to wake up the nurse on duty and was dumbfounded.


    After some questioning, the nurse said that she didn’t notice that Amber had gone out. Jack frowned


    deeply. He felt frustrated as he demanded that the nurses look for her.


    What was strange was that he started to recall the contents of the message left by the mysterious man


    at the Capital Hospital. The message was like a thorn that continued to prick his heart. Jack took a


    deep breath. Jack forcibly suppressed his suspicion and wheeled himself towards the lift.


    “Mr. Hughes, it looks like your wife went downstairs. Come and have a look.” The nurse who left quickly


    ran back and pushed Jack towards Amber’s room. Jack looked in the direction of where the nurse


    pointed as they passed by a window.


    Indeed! Amber was wearing the patient’s gown as she paced in the garden below. It waste in the


    night and the temperature had cooled down considerably.


    Jack could see that Amber’s arms were grabbing herself tightly across her chest indicating that she


    was feeling cold. But… why did that silly girl go down at this time of the night? Jack frowned deeply.


    “Is she your wife?” The nurse asked.


    Jack nodded, “Yes, thanks.”


    “You’re wee, then I’ll go back to my work.” The nurse nodded and turned to leave.


    Only Jack remained in the patient’s room. He looked at Amber as he sat on the wheelchair. Whoosh…

    the night breeze blew into the room. Jack felt the chill and shuddered.


    “She can’t remain downstairs as she’s pregnant,” Jack mumbled and wheeled himself to retrieve his


    phone on the bedside table. When he returned to the window, he almost erupted when he looked


    down. Amber was pacing alone in the garden but then another person stood below the gardenmp


    and was speaking to Amber. It was a man!


    Jack was able to judge that the person was a man even at that distance. Jack held his breath.


    His phone already had Amber’s phone number dialed but he had not connected the call. It was obvious


    that the conversation between Amber and that man was very intense. But Jack could not make out


    what they were talking about from that distance.


    He could see that the man was gesturing all about at Amber but she just stood in ce. Time ticked


    slowly by as Jack watched what was happening below.


    Jack’s mind continued to rey the message which was on a tattered note given to him by that


    mysterious man. His intelligence continued to suppress the suppositions. What happened in his sight


    didn’t look like Amber was trying to hurt him.


    Suddenly, the man grabbed Amber’s arm. Boom! It was like a loud explosion happened in Jack’s mind.


    He saw that Amber was trying to struggle. Just as the man took a step forward, Jack’s thumb pressed


    the call button.


    When Amber’s phone started to ring, the man stopped his actions and at the same time, Amber


    answered the call, “Hello, hubby, what’s up?”


    “Where are you?” Jack pretended to ask.


    “Oh, I’m downstairs taking a stroll. I’ll be back immediately.”


    “Okay, be careful.”


    When Jack and Amber were talking, the man released Amber and quickly ran out of the hospital. When


    the call ended, the man was nowhere to be seen and Amber turned to walk towards the building.


    Jack looked out the window in a daze and felt the cold breeze blow. At this moment he felt exceedingly


    depressed.


    “No way, Amber wouldn’t do this.” Jack took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed what he saw. He


    closed the window and drew the curtains as he wheeled himself towards the bed. The scene that had


    just happened continued to rey in his mind.


    “No, it’s impossible.” Jack grabbed his phone tightly, lowered his head as his eyes began to turn red.


    His trust for Amber was due to her staying with him repeatedly regardless of what happened. He


    shouldn’t consider what he had seen to be the worst possible situation.


    Jack ground his teeth and revealed a trace of bitterness in his smile. Now he finally understood how


    difficult it was for Amber to endure while she waited for him.


    Betrayal was immensely painful … regardless of whether it happened to a man or woman.


    Very soon, Amber opened the door and entered the room.


    “Silly guy, why are you still in the wheelchair?” Amber was stunned when she saw Jack.


    Jack raised his head and smiled, “I woke up and noticed that you weren’t around and wanted to look for


    you.”


    “I’m fine.” It was obvious that Amber was flustered. She then took out some mtonin and handed


    them to Jack, “Jack, I went to the pharmacy to buy some mtonin for you. Your sleep is erratic and


    disturbed. Have some of these and you’ll sleep better and have a good rest.”


    “Thanks, honey.” Jack smiled and took over the blister pack containing the mtonin pills. He raised


    his head and saw that Amber’s eyes were red and watery.


    When their eyes locked, Amber was first to be stunned. She looked like a startled kitten and quickly


    straighten herself and looked away from Jack’s gaze.


    Jack’s smile froze and it was as if his heart was held in a vice. He looked at the mtonin pills in his


    hand and then thought about when Amber was below with that man. Jack’s eyebrows creased tightly.


    Was that mysterious man right?


    “What’s wrong?” Amber’s puzzled voice rang in his ears and snapped Jack back to his senses. Though


    Amber’s expression looked puzzled, Jack could see signs of tears on her face under the lights.


    She… she cried!


    Suddenly, Jack’s memories came flooding back. The note from the mysterious man continued to


    viciously prick at his heart.


    Jack smiled bitterly and said, “Honey, have I been talking in my sleep and disturbing your rest?”


    Amber was stunned, nodded, and then said solemnly, “Yes, you mumble in your sleep. Why? You don’t


    wish to take the pills?”


    “I’ll take it.” Jack tossed the pills into his mouth and washed them down with a ss of


    water.
