Chapter 126


    Only Amber and Channing were left in the ward. Channing looked at Amber. “Amber, I’m sorry! It’s all


    my fault! I was possessed…”


    “It’s in the past.” Amber interrupted Channing. “You don’t have to say sorry to me. Instead, I want to say


    sorry to you, because I let the matter of that year be exposed, and I also implicated you. Presumably,


    you will be too ashamed to show your face.”


    “Amber, I regret it. When I received the letter, I had no choice but to marry Shannon. In fact, I only have


    your mother in my heart…”


    “Well, Mr. ck!” Amber interrupted Channing again. “I have received your apology. You didn’t do


    anything wrong at that time. Everyone is selfish. Everyone is the first to n for their own future. You


    did nothing wrong for your own future. I don’t me you.”


    Channing’s face turned red. Amber didn’t look at him and said in a calm voice, “Now let’s talk about the


    follow-up of this matter!”


    “Amber, do you have a way to suppress the negative impact?” Channing looked at his daughter in


    disbelief.


    “When did I say that I would suppress the negative effects?” Amber asked in reply. “The fact that your


    daughter, Miss Celia, and Rodney had an affair and gotten pregnant before they got married is the


    truth. I won’t do anything for her. Everyone has to pay the price for their actions. If she shamelessly


    seduces Rodney, she should bear the consequences of having a mistress.”


    “Then what do you mean?”


    “What I want to say is about you and me. I have caused you a lot of trouble when I returned to the


    ck family. It seems that my appearance is indeed a disaster for you. It affects your reputation and


    your career, so I decided that we should go back to the past. It’s good for everyone.”


    Channing looked at Amber in shock. “Amber, I’ve never thought about that!”


    “I don’t know if you think so, but I’m going to do it now.”


    “Enough!” Channing had just covered his chest with his hands and coughed violently.


    “Mr. ck, what’s wrong with you?” Shannon, who was standing outside, heard Channing’s cough and


    quickly pushed open the door of the ward and rushed in. While holding Channing’s body, she patted


    Channing’s back with her hand.


    Channing coughed desperately and took out a handkerchief from his pocket to cover his mouth. Then,


    Amber saw bright red blood on the handkerchief, which looked shocking.


    “Mr. ck, you’re vomiting blood! Come on!” Shannon shouted in a hoarse voice.


    “Dad, are you okay?” Celia also rushed in and shouted at the top of her lungs.


    Amber stood there in a daze. Channing was always in good health. When did he get so sick that he


    vomited blood?


    A medical staff followed him into the ward. Amber retreated. On the corridor outside the ward, she saw


    Elliot. “How’s your father?”


    “I vomited blood again just now!” Amber replied.


    “How could that be?” Elliot was stunned.


    “Yes, how could it be?” Amber felt incredible in his heart. When the door opened, Celia rushed out


    angrily.


    “Amber, I admit that it’s wrong to let reporters take photos of you secretly, but you can’t attack me like


    this no matter what. It doesn’t matter if you attack me, but can Dad stand it? How can you let Dad lose


    face? Dad has a status…”


    “Celia!” Shannon came out to stop her daughter. “Amber, don’t argue with Celia. She didn’t speak


    without thinking because she saw that Mr. ck vomited blood and was so anxious. In fact, Celia is not


    so bad!”


    Amber felt a little guilty. At that time, he forgot that Channing was a patient in a hurry.


    “Amber, I know you hate us.” Celia saw that she did not speak and continued, “You can’t hate even


    your father? No matter what, he is your biological father. How can you treat him like this?”


    “Well, Celia!” Shannon stopped her daughter from ming her. “Amber, I’m the one who has wronged


    you and your mother. It has nothing to do with your father or Celia. If you want to hate someone, then


    hate me! Your father really loves you!”


    Amber didn’t say anything. She felt that her mind was in a mess. To be honest, Channing wasn’t bad to


    her, so there was no need for her to hold a grudge against him.


    After all, she had already passed the age where she needed to be raised and taken care of. Let’s forget


    about the past. When she was about to think about this, a familiar voice came. “How is Mr. ck?”


    Amber looked up and saw that Celia had jumped into Rodney’s arms like a little bird. She cried,


    “Rodney, why did youe sote? My father vomited blood…”


    Amber frowned. Celia didn’t seem to be learning how to perform, but her performance skills were


    beyond the reach of many performance students. A mocking smile appeared on the corners of Elliot’s


    mouth. He leaned close to Amber’s ear and whispered, “Your sister is really awesome!”


    Amber replied with a smile. “You only found out about it?”


    Rodneyforted Celia with a few words offort. He looked at Amber and Elliot. When he saw


    their whisper, his face looked a little ugly. “I’ll go over there and have a look. I’lle back to youter.”


    After saying that, Elliot gave Rodney a provocative look and strode away.


    The doctor who entered the ward finally left. Celia, Shannon, and her daughter, as well as Rodney,


    went to see Channing. Amber stood outside and did not move.


    Footsteps came from behind. Elliot had returned. He whispered a few words in Amber’s ear. Amber’s


    eyes widened. “Really?”


    “Can I lie to you?”


    Rodney walked out and looked indifferently at Amber and Elliot. However, he said to Amber, “I’m going


    to buy something to eat. What do you want to eat?”


    “There’s no need. I’ll leave right away!” Amber replied indifferently.


    Rodney was stunned. Obviously, he didn’t expect that Amber would say that he would leave


    immediately. Her father was sick in the ward. As a daughter, she couldn’t just leave like this, could she?


    But thinking about her poor health, he finally didn’t say anything.


    Amber looked at Elliot. “Wait for me outside for a few minutes. I’ll talk to Mr. ck ande out


    immediately.”


    After that, she pushed the door open and went in. When she came in, Channing just showed a weak


    smile to her. “Amber, I’m fine.”


    Amber ignored them and looked at Shannon and Celia. “Get out. Mr. ck and I have something to


    say.”


    Her voice was cold and distant, and there was no expression on her face. Shannon nced at her and


    then looked at Channing. “Your father is in poor health. Don’t stimte him…”


    “I say, can you go out?”


    “Get out!” Channing had just ordered. With Channing’s order, the mother and daughter left.


    After the mother and daughter went out, they closed the door sensibly. Amber looked at Channing, who


    was lying on the bed, and a sneer appeared on his face. “Mr. ck, don’t pretend. I know you are not


    sick!”


    Channing was stunned for a moment, and an embarrassed expression shed across his face. “Amber,


    I’m sorry. Listen to my father’s exnation!”


    “Go ahead!”


    “Dad didn’t pretend to be sick because he didn’t want to lie to you, but because he encountered some


    trouble this time. He wanted to avoid it for a while, but something happened between you and Celia,


    so…”


    Amber couldn’t helpughing. This was her father. When she heard that he was sick and vomiting


    blood, she rushed over immediately, but he was pretending to be sick.


    She was extremely disappointed. If it weren’t for Elliot, she would have been kept in the dark and felt


    guilty. She might have found a way to make it up to him. Fortunately, she had Elliot!


    “Mr. ck, if I don’t see through you, will you continue to lie like this all the time? Do you expect me to


    compensate your mistress and daughter for guilt?”


    “No, Amber, you misunderstood. I never thought of letting youpensate andpromise. This time,


    I was forced to…”


    “I’m just asking you. Do you and your daughter, who pretend to be ill, know about it?” Amber asked


    coldly.


    “I don’t know.”


    Channing was indeed worthy of being an official. No wonder he didn’t recognize his rtives. Amber


    looked at him mockingly. She didn’t know what to say.


    Channing blushed as he looked at his daughter. “Amber, I know that you are ming me and even


    hating me. However, there are many things that I have no choice but to do. In my heart, there are only


    you and your mother…”


    “Mr. ck, you’re too kind. My mother has been dead for more than ten years! She’s not in your heart


    for a long time.” Amber interrupted him, ignoring Channing’s embarrassed expression.


    “Since there’s nothing wrong with your body, I’ll take my leave first. I don’t have time to y with you


    here because I’m still sick!”


    With that, she turned around and left.


    “Amber!” Channing’s voice came from behind. Amber ignored it and felt disgusted. It was really


    disgusting. How could she have such a father? If she could choose in her life, she was really unwilling


    to have such a shameless father. But she had no choice.


    After leaving the hospital, Amber had been silent. Elliot had been stealing nces at her. Finally, he


    could not help but ask, “Did you have a fight with your father?”


    Amber snorted.


    “I… I didn’t mean to tell you this. I was just afraid that you would be worried.”


    “How do you know that he is pretending to be ill?”


    “Yes,” Elliot replied.


    “How dare you ask me to question you?” Amber was speechless. If Channing didn’t pretend to be sick,


    how would his question hurt his heart?


    “In fact, this is the case. Recently, the government has been very strict with the investigation. The


    secretary has been isted from thew and regtions. Your father is not going to a meeting this


    time, but is being investigated. This time, there are a lot of people involved. The higher-ups mean to let


    him escape first. He happened to encounter such a thing, so he used it as a shield.”

    “How do you know this?”


    “My grandfather’s old friend is up there,” replied Elliot. “Therefore, my grandfather informed me in


    advance about this matter. Your father has a good reputation as an official, so someone from the


    higher-ups will protect him.”


    Amber sneered. She was really speechless at Channing. Thinking about it, she was really angry. Elliot


    comforted her. “People in the officialdom are like this. Don’t take it to heart.”


    Amber didn’t say anything. It was a lie to say that he didn’t take it to heart, but he tried his best not to


    think about it.


    “By the way, what do you think of this matter? How could there be someone who exposed the scandal


    between Celia and Rodney at this critical moment? Was it done by yourpetitor, Mr. ck, or by the


    mistress and her daughter?”


    “I don’t think it’s the work of the mistress and her daughter. Although they want to deal with me, there’s


    no need for them to be so stupid as to ruin their reputation and make Channing lose face. After all, we


    share the same honor and loss.” Amber pondered for a moment.


    “I think this person must be Channing’spetitor.”


    “Your analysis makes sense, but you should have heard of a idiom, right?”


    “What?”


    “We’ll live after we die!” Elliot replied.


    “The fact that Celia was found to be a mistress may have damaged her reputation, but from another


    point of view, she has immediately be a victim. She is on the same side as Rodney and his son.


    The two of them are in the same boat. Perhaps because of her scandal back then, the mother and his


    son might not sympathize with her.


    After this matter was exposed, Rachel must hate you to the extreme. Even if she was beaten to death,


    she would not have a good impression of you. And Rodney, his scandal was exposed in broad daylight,


    and he also felt ufortable in his heart. He would certainly distance himself from you. Of course,


    there is another reason, which is that their purpose is not only to win the sympathy of Rodney, but to let


    Channing mistakenly think that you manipted all of this. Compared with their tolerance and


    generosity, you are narrow-minded and ignore the overall situation. If Channing hates you because of


    this…”


    “Is that so?” Amber couldn’t believe it at all. “Are they so scheming?”


    “I guessed it!” Elliotughed.
