Hypnotizing Love
Chapter 100 Chloe's Mother

Jared stood there motionless. Amber became enraged when she realized he had no intention of leaving, so she tried to push him away.

She had forgotten she was still injured, so instead of pushing Jared away, she lost her balance and fell behind.

Jared quickly extended his arms to grab her arm, but he was a split second too late. He not only missed her arms, but he also lost his balance and fell forward.

Amber fell on the rug on her back, while Jared fell with both hands beside her shoulders, one knee knelt on the floor and his body on top of her.

When their gazes met, they both froze.

Amber was taken aback, and her heart raced as she blushed.

Jared's eyes darkened as he looked at her flushed face, which reminded him of that night when she was drunk and overly seductive like a fairy. Jared was reminiscing about that night, he swallowed briefly and he felt his ears burning. His gaze fixed on the pair of slightly parted red lips and then moved slowly toward them.

"Hello? Could you please get up right now?" Amber's words brought Jared back to reality; his face stiffened as he realized what he was about to do and he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry."

He stood up and stretched his arm out to help her up, but Amber declined, slowly standing up and supporting herself with both hands on the floor.

Jared's face darkened as he slowly drew his hand in the air back in, forming a fist.

Amber let out an agonizing sigh, which startled Jared, "Are you okay?" He inquired, concerned.

"It's all your fault, Jared Farrell, I guess the Farrells are my jinx, my leg has almost recovered but look at this, it's sprained again because of you!" Amber screamed.

Her eyes became misty as she spoke as if she was sorry for herself. She was fine without him, but something bad always happened to her whenever he was around.

It broke Jared's heart to see Amber sobbed, but he kept it under wrap. "I will take responsibility," he said as he carried her up from the ground.

Amber's eyes widened as a result of his sudden movement, and her hands naturally wrapped around his neck, but she quickly drew them back when she felt the warmth from his body. "Let go of me!" Amber nearly screamed.

Jared ignored her and carried her to the sofa, where he sat her down before dialing a number and said, "Bring a doctor over to Kelsington Bay right now."

Kelsington Bay? That was Ms. Reed's home.

Ben was baffled, but he didn't question it and simply did as he was told.

The doctor soon arrived, and Jared led him to the sofa, saying, "Take a look at her leg injuries," pointing to Amber's leg.

Amber agreed to be treated because she did not want to be incapacitated.

After completing his examination, the doctor opened his medicine chest, prompting Jared to inquire, "Is she going to be okay?"

"Ms. Reed is fine, but due to the repeated ligament strain, healing will take longer this time." As he reached for the medicine he was looking for, the doctor said.

When Jared heard that, he frowned. 'Her leg is seriously injured.'

Amber was irritated because she was almost fully recovered and could finally walk without crutches, but she would never be able to do so now, at least not anytime soon. Her chest heaved up and down as she bit her lips and inhaled deeply and repeatedly in irritation.

After treating her, the doctor left.

"Please leave Mr. Farrell," Amber said, rubbing her glabella. "I believe you've noticed that I get hurt every time you are around, so please don't ever come near me."

Jared frowned, and his intended words were ended prematurely by an incoming call from Makenna.

He was hesitant to answer for unknown reasons, especially in front of Amber. But he eventually answered, knowing Makenna's insecurities and that she would never stop calling until he answered the phone. "Yes, Makenna," Jared replied, sweeping a glance at Amber out of the corner of his eye, curious to see her reaction.

Amber, on the other hand, sat on the couch, flicking her nails, unconcerned about who he was talking to.

Jared's heart was broken because her reaction of not minding him talking to another woman meant she no longer loved him.

"Jared? Jared?" Makenna called from the other end of the line.

"Yes?" Jared responded in hushed tones, pulling himself away from his thoughts.

"Are you alright? I just said your name a few times," Makenna pouted.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention; why did you call?" Jared said as he lowered his gaze.

"Have you forgotten that you're supposed to come to my house for dinner tonight?" Makenna inquired.

"I'm sorry, I forgot," Jared apologized after a brief pause.

"I knew it, which is why I called to see where you are now," Makenna inquired softly.

Jared lied to her, saying, "I'm with a client."

Amber looked up, raising her brows at Jared, a hint of teasing in her gleam.

Jared was bothered by her stare, so he let out a dry cough and continued, "I'll come once I'm done here."

"All right, see you later," Makenna said with a smile.

Jared simply said yes before hanging up the phone.

"I had no idea I was your client, Mr. Farrell. I'm surprised you can lie," Amber said jokingly, her arms crossed across her chest.

Jared was embarrassed by her statement, but he quickly returned to his normal self, saying, "I have to go now, please reconsider about the new settlement," as he turned to the door.

"There's no need for that; I already stated that I don't want anything from you," Amber asserted coldly.

Jared pressed his lips together looking at her assertiveness and walked away without saying anything else.

Amber spent the next few days in court, attending trials against Chloe and the Twitter account holders. The netizens were enthralled by the progression of the cases as if they were watching an intriguing drama series.

Finally, marketing account holders were detained for three to five days depending on the severity of their statements, while netizens involved were fined forty dollars each.

Chloe refused to plead guilty during the first trial and insisted on an appeal, despite her lawyer telling her that it would not free her from legal responsibility and only shorten her detention by two or three days.

Amber and Cole arrived at the court today for the second trial; her injuries had improved significantly, and while she was still unable to jump or run, she was already walking without crutches.

"Ms. Reed," someone called from behind her as she approached the court.

Amber and Cole both turned to face the source of the voice and saw a woman dressed neatly with proper makeup but looking haggard.

"Hello, may I ask who you are?" Amber inquired politely.

"I am Chloe's mother." The woman in her middle age forced a smile on her face.

Amber's smile faded as she realized who the woman in front of her was, "How can I help you, Mrs. Mendez?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
