Chapter 2111

Amber looked up and pondered it.

Then, she cracked a bitter smile.

"Of course I'll be sad, but I'll be delighted if you can be free and be with your beloved woman. I think it's worthwhile.

Amber spent her entire life in the fort. Although she grew up in a place full of evil, others protected her. She grew up to be a pure, simple, and kind woman regardless of her environment's wickedness and evilness.

Her thoughts were very simple-she wanted the people she liked to be happy. As for her happiness, she didn't care about it. She loved Liam more than anyone else. Hence, seeing Liam happy would be her greatest happiness.

"No, you're wrong!" Liam yelled.

Amber's simple thoughts drove him mad.

He gripped her shoulders and looked into her eyes, and said seriously, "Remember! You're an independent individual. You must put yourself above everything else. Your happiness is the most important thing. You can't regard others' happiness as yours because others aren't under your control. You probably can't even move them even if you sacrifice everything. You might even risk your life, but they won't be touched. This is an unfair bargain. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I do." Amber nodded. "You sound just like my dad. You guys want me to be stronger and do everything for my interests. But I willingly want you to be with Ms. Everheart. Why can't that be considered my interest too?"

"How could you..."

For a moment, Amber's logic struck Liam speechless. After a brief pause, he sighed.

"You can't say that. I'm just your acquaintance. You can't risk everything for me. I'm a bastard, but you still want to risk everything for me. You're not doing it for yourself. You're dumb and out of your mind!"

"Yes, you're right. I understand. I won't be this dumb again." Amber nodded, though she didn't fully understand.

She kept squeezing the ointment out and gently applied it on Liam's red, strangled neck. She felt very sorry for him.

"How could Dad do this? He was so harsh on you. If I was late, he might break your neck... No, I can't forgive this. I have to go to him!"

Amber's wrath grew as she studied the bruises on Liam, and she had every intention to fight with her father.

"Hey, Gem! Don't!" Liam grabbed her, stopping her. It was rare to see the quiet and gentle Amber that angry. He feared she might infuriate Benjamin on impulse.

"No, I must go!" Amber insisted.

She had always obeyed Liam, but was quite stubborn at that time because Benjamin had been out of line. She felt something else might happen next time if she ignored the current issue.

"You can't go because I said so. Listen to me!" Liam said.

Since he failed to stop her, he hugged her from behind out of desperation.

That action was rather intimate, making Amber too timid to move. She blushed and whispered, "Liam, let me go. I must get justice for you. If not, Dad might do this again. If it happens again, I might not come in time to save you."

"We'll revisit that if it happens again. Liam put his head against Amber's, and threatened, "I'm going to do more if you don't listen to me."
