Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 193

Riya took a few steps forward and quickly approached Amber and Rodney. She saw a paper cup scattered on the ground, and there were water stains all over the ground. She pretended to be surprised and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Madam is in a bad mood and Mr. Barron is in a bad mood,” explained Deon.

Riya was good at looking at others. Although Deon was trying to smooth things over, she could tell at a glance what was going on. It must be Amber who poured a cup of water for Rodney. He knocked the cup over. She was secretly delighted.

Amber’s face was flushed red. Just now, she noticed that Rodney’s mouth was cracked, so she went to pour him a glass of water. Unexpectedly, Rodney didn’t appreciate it. He raised his hand and knocked over the glass of water in her hand, saying that he didn’t want her to pretend to be kind.

Rodney had always had a good temper with Amber. Even when he divorced her back then, he had never scolded her like this. Amber felt a little wronged. If it weren’t for the fact that he was worried about Rachel, she would have left a long time ago.

She did not continue to stand by and wait for the result. After standing for such a long time because of pregnancy, she felt a little sore in her waist. So she reached out and rubbed her waist. Rodney’s eyes were fixed on the door of the operating room, and his face was gloomy. No one knew what he was thinking.

Seeing Amber rubbing his waist, Deon knew that she must have been standing there for a long time, so he kindly said to Amber, “Miss. Stone, you are still pregnant. You are tired after waiting here for so long. You’d better go back and have a rest. I will inform you if there is any news.”

After hearing Deon’s words, Rodney looked at Amber. His face did not change at all, and his eyes were cold. “Why don’t you leave? Do you want to see how miserable my mother is?”

Amber didn’t say anything. She knew that Rodney was upset and didn’t want to argue with him.

Riya was so happy to hear this. “Miss. Stone, you’d better go back. It’s useless to stay here. It makes Mr. Barron upset.”

Amber glared at Riya. “It’s all this woman’s fault. If she hadn’t said those words, Rodney wouldn’t have treated me like this. Why did this woman say that? What’s her intention?”

She wanted to question Riya, but when she thought of Rachel’s operation inside, she held her breath and her phone rang.

Amber didn’t go back until he came out. Ashton was worried that he would call to ask about the situation. Amber lowered his voice and told him about Rachel’s injury. He said that he was in the hospital now and would go back later.

Finally, the door of the operating room opened, and a nurse pushed Rachel out. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“How’s it going?” A few people who were waiting outside immediately gathered around him.

The doctor came out from behind and answered, “The patient has severe cerebral hemorrhage and is in a coma. He may never wake up again. You have to be mentally prepared.”

Rodney’s expression changed drastically. “Is there no other way?”

“The best might be like this, the worst…” The doctor did not continue. What he meant was that the worst might be that Rachel would never wake up.

Rodney’s body swayed a few times. Amber reached out to hold him, but he pushed him away. “Why are you pretending to be a good person?”

Riya didn’t see the scene where the cup was overturned with her own eyes, but she saw it clearly. Rodney’s face was full of anger, and he looked at Amber coldly with hatred.

Deon stretched out his hand to hold Rodney. “Mr. Barron, calm down. We don’t know exactly what’s going on. How heart-wrenching are you?”

Riya scolded Deon a few times in her heart. “This damned Deon, why are you trying to smooth things over at this time?” But she didn’t dare to cheer for him. Rodney and Deon were not fools. All she had to do was to describe the facts that she had seen as logically as possible so that Rodney could associate them with Amber.

After sending Rachel to the intensive care unit, Rodney asked Deon to find two professional guardians to watch over Rachel. He said coldly, “Go home!”

Riya knew that he was going home to investigate. She was a little nervous, but she thought that there was no loophole in what she had just done, so she followed Rodney. Seeing Rodney striding away, Deon immediately followed him. Amber was stunned and followed them.

The car soon drove back to the Barron family’s house. Rodney opened the door and strode into the living room. The living room was still the same as before. Rodney glanced around and ordered Deon, “Tell all the people in the villa today to come here.”

Deon agreed. Soon, the security guards and the driver were called in.

Rodney looked at the security guard and asked, “Did anyone else come here today?”

“Yes.” The security guard replied. “Doctor Xu has been here.”

“Dr. Lott said that he brought some nutrition products for beauty for Madam abroad.” Riya’s finger pointed at Itzel, who was still in the living room.

Rodney picked up the things brought by Itzel and put them down. “When did Dr. Lott leave?”

“Dr. Lott left at noon,” Riya replied.

Rodney nodded and looked at the security guard. “Well, bring me the monitor outside.”

“The surveillance today is incomplete, and the power has been cut off for a few hours,” the security guard replied.

“A power failure? When did it stop?”

“Dr. Lott Xu didn’t stop for a long time after he came. He stopped for about two hours.” The security guard returned.

Rodney’s brows furrowed. He had originally planned to turn on the surveillance camera to see what was going on when Itzel had arrived. But now, what was the opinion of the surveillance camera?

“Wait a minute. The security guard said that Itzel only had a power switch when she came. Does this mother’s coma have something to do with Itzel?” Rodney’s eyes swept over the people in the room. “When was the last time you saw Madam? Give me a detailed description.”

“Madam didn’t come to see me today. I stayed in the company until I heard that something had happened to Madam.” The driver, Ryan, replied.

The security guard Xiao Zhang thought for a moment and said, “Madam didn’t go out today, nor did she take a walk. The last time I saw her was when she was in a coma.”

Another security guard answered, “I saw Madam when I was reporting about the power failure. At that time, Madam was sitting with Riya in the living room. I left after reporting the situation.”

At that time, the security guard was standing at the door of the living room and reporting. He only saw Rachel’s back and naturally did not know that Rachel had been in a coma at that time.

Rodney frowned. This meant that Rachel was good when Itzel left.

Riya replied, “The last time I saw Madam was when she fell on the floor. There was a palm print on her face, and Miss. Stone gave her first aid…”

“Wait a minute!” Rodney interrupted her. “Did Madam ask you to give me the bird’s nest?”

“Yes, Madam asked me to find the bird’s nest last night and said that she wanted to stew it to nourish Miss. Stone’s health. Early in the morning, Madam got up to cook the bird’s nest herself, but she refused on my behalf…”

“Why didn’t the bird’s nest cooked by Madam personally send it over? Instead, she asked you to send it over?” Rodney asked again.

“Madam was going to send it to you in person, but Dr. Lott came. It took time to talk to Dr. Lott Xu. Madam has the habit of taking a nap at noon every day. When she finished talking with Dr. Lott, it was already noon, so she asked me to send her bird’s nest.” Riya explained.

Rachel’s habit of taking a nap at noon every day was naturally known to Rodney. Rodney looked at the security guard and asked, “Is there any other situation in the future?”

“No, we stayed in the security room all the time. We didn’t see anyone or hear anything until Riya and Miss. Stone came.”

“You can go down.” Rodney ordered Riya’s security guards and the driver to leave. Only Deon and the other two were left in the living room. He was silent for a moment and looked at Amber. “I want to hear what you said.”

“I’ve said what I should say. When I found that there were hidden red flowers in the bird’s nest, I came to question her and came in with Riya. She answered a phone call, and I went upstairs to find your mother. I shouted a few times, but no one answered. When I opened the door, I saw her lying on the ground…”

“Amber, do you think that your words are convincing?” Rodney interrupted her angrily. “My mother was fine before, and you were the last person to see her. You’d better tell the truth. What did you do to my mother so that she was in a coma?”

“Rodney, are you being unreasonable?” Amber’s face turned red. “Didn’t I tell you that she was already lying on the floor when I entered…”

“Do you think anyone will believe your words?” Rodney’s eyes became colder and colder. “Amber, you dare to act and take responsibility. Since you have done it, you should admit it. Don’t shirk it. Tell me, did you accidentally push her?”

“Rodney, how many times have I told you to believe me? I didn’t push her?” Amber went mad. The feeling of being wronged really didn’t feel good.

“Who can prove your innocence?” Rodney asked, “There is a clear handprint on my mother’s face. How dare you say that you didn’t hit her in anger?”

“I didn’t hit her, Rodney. I really didn’t hit her.” Amber realized that even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he wouldn’t be able to clear his mind.

“Don’t deny it. Last time, I saw you hit her because I chose to tolerate it because I loved you. But why didn’t you realize it at all? Amber, you have to admit that it was you who hit my mother and pushed her to the ground, causing her injury. I know that you don’t want to hurt her like this. It’s just a mistake. It doesn’t matter. As long as you admit that you are pregnant, I will forgive you.”

“How can I admit that I haven’t done those things? Rodney, how can you doubt me like this?” Amber shouted.

“It’s not that I doubt you, but it’s the fact that it’s in front of me now. Amber, you really let me down! My mother has already taken the initiative to apologize to you. Why do you still treat her like this? I know that my mother used to treat you badly. You must have killed her because of your resentment.”

“You’re unreasonable!” Amber was furious. “Rodney, I’m telling you, slanderers are illegal. If you say that I pushed your mother, I have to show you the evidence. If you suspect me, you should call the police immediately and let the police deal with it, so that I can be innocent.”

“Do you think I won’t do anything to you? Amber, God is watching you. My patience is limited,” shouted Rodney.

“I told you, if you really doubt me, you can call the police.” Amber couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Good! You win! Amber, I won’t let this matter go so easily. Just you wait, I won’t let it go so easily!”
