When Noemi arrived at the hospital, Amber was put on a drip while Rodney sat by her bed with an anxious look on his face. Seeing that Rodney was holding Amber’s hand, Noemi rushed forward and said, “Mr. Barron, what have you done to Amber?”

“Please, keep your voice down!” Rodney was having a good temper, which was rare. “Something happened to her.”

“What happened? Mr. Barron, Amber was on a date with her boyfriend yesterday. Why is she with you? What do you want? Is it not miserable enough for Amber when you cheated on her? Do you also want to destroy the happiness she has worked so hard for?” Noemi had no good impression of Rodney at all and spoke without any scruples.

Rodney did not refute. What happened last night was not a good thing for Amber. He had already made a special request for the police to keep the news confidential. He was afraid that the news would leave a bad effect on Amber.

Although Noemi was Amber’s best friend, there would be one less problem if one less person knew about it. Therefore, in the face of Noemi’s questioning, he had to choose to remain silent.

Seeing that Rodney did not explain nor refute, Noemi believed the more that he was the culprit. “Mr. Barron, you can be gone now. You are not welcome here!”

How could Rodney be willing to leave? Noemi said angrily, “Are you going to leave or not? If you’re not leaving, I’ll call Ms. Black and ask her to bring you back!”

In the midst of the conflict, Amber woke up in a daze. Seeing that Amber had woke up, Noemi did not bother to scold Rodney. “Amber, how do you feel?”

“Water!” Amber felt that her throat was so dry as if it was about to smoke. Rodney immediately poured a glass of water and handed it over to her. After Amber drank a glass of water, her throat felt a little better. Noemi took the cup from her hand and asked, “Was it Mr. Barron who bullied you?”

Amber shook her head and glanced at Rodney. “Thank you for sending me to the hospital, Mr. Barron. I’m fine now. You should go back to work!”

Rodney stood still and did not move, so Amber had to drive him away. “I have something to say to Noemi. Mr. Barron, please give us some privacy.”

Rodney hesitated for a moment, but he still didn’t want to leave. Noemi drove him away rudely. “Mr. Barron, don’t you understand what was said? Hurry up and leave!”

“I’ll be right outside. Call me if you need anything.” After that, he turned around and left the ward, but he didn’t go far.

As soon as Rodney left, Noemi immediately asked, “What on earth exactly happened? How did you get into this state?”

“Noemi, I thought I would never see you again…. That Casen Slater… he… he’s not a good person!” Amber’s eyes turned red.

“Casen hit you?” The first thing Noemi thought of was domestic violence.

“No!” Amber told Noemi what happened last night while pausing from time to time.

Noemi was fuming with anger. “B*stard! This b*stard! If I see him, I’ll skin him alive!”

After thinking about it, she felt terrified. Luckily, Rodney passed by. Otherwise, things would have been unimaginable. However, why would Rodney coincidentally appear there?
