“I’ll leave you to it, Mrs. Romero,” the doctor said, excusing himself from the room to give Richard
and Amber their privacy.
Amber’s world seemed to tilt on its axis, the air thick with a surreal haze that clouded her senses as the
doctor’s words settled on her. The room seemed to blur around her, the walls closing in with a
stifling intensity that mirrored the torrent of emotions raging in her.
She nced at Richard, his features a mirror of her own shock and disbelief. The realization that he
too had heard the doctor’s words sent a shiver down her spine, a silent reassurance that this was
indeed happening, and not a figment of her imagination.
“Richard, what do I do?” Her voice trembled with uncertainty, a thread of fear and disbelief entwined
in her words. “I don’t know how to react. I don’t even know how to feel.”
Richard’s gaze shifted towards her, emotions churning in his eyes. He seemed lost in his thoughts,
grappling with the enormity of the news that had just unfolded in front of him.
With a visible effort, he turned towards her, unsure of what to say since he also didn’t know how to
feel.
“I… I don’t know either, Amber,” he admitted. He knew Amber this was what Amber wanted the most–to
have children. And he was happy that she was finally going to get her wish, despite believing that it
would never be possible. But as for him, he felt lost. Completely lost, and scared.
A sudden wave of emotion engulfed Amber, causing a flood of tears to well up in her eyes and spill
down her cheeks abruptly.
Richard’s heart clenched at the sight of her tears, a surge of confusion, and concern welling up in him
as he drew her close to him gently, careful not to trigger her injuries. “Amber, why are you crying?
What’s wrong?Are you not… happy about this?”
He didn’t know how to react to Amber’s tears or what to do to calm her down, but if there was one thing
he knew he couldn’t do at the moment, it was to show his fear in front of Amber.

Amber looked up at him through a veil of tears, her voice barely above a whisper as she spoke. “Happy
doesn’t even begin to describe it, Richard.” Her words trembled with emotion, a depth of feeling that
transcended words. “Just a few days ago, I was telling you how the doctors had told me… how they
told me that I could never have children again.”
Her voice caught on a sob as the past year’s anguish and despair threatened to suffocate her. “For
over a year, I tried to live with the, realization that I would never experience the joy of carrying a
child. And now, to hear that I’m…” She choked on the words, the enormity of the news still raw.
‘Listen, babe…” His voice was a whisper. “I can’t even begin to imagine how you must be feeling
right now. I’m sure you’re confused, in shock, happy, and maybe even afraid. But what matters the
most right now is that you’ve won, Amber. The joy of being a mother is something Kayden and Marlen
thought they took from you, but they didn’t, babe. You’ve won, and you deserve to be happy about it
without doubting yourself.”
Richard gently wiped away Amber’s tears, and for the next few minutes, they remained locked in a hug
without saying anything to each other.
BAmber’s breathing steadied against Richard’s chest, with her head nestled against his shoulder. In the
silence that lingered between them, she tried to gather her thoughts, mentally telling herself that she
should be happy because she deserved it.
When she finally raised her head, there was a hint of unshed tears in her eyes, yet a small smile
graced her lips. “Richard…” she called out softly, almost as though she was afraid of calling out his
name. “How do you feel about this? About me being pregnant?”
Richard’s brow furrowed in confusion at her question, a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes. “Why would
you even ask me that, Amber? Of course, I’m… happy.” He said, but unfortunately for him, his
voice faltered unintentionally.
Amber’s gaze bore into his, a glint of skepticism in her eyes as she voiced the doubt that lingered in
her mind. “I know you, Richard. I know that you’ve never been entirely keen on the idea of having
children. If this news doesn’t sit well with you, you don’t have to pretend for my sake.”
Richard’s facade wavered, fear, and anxiety crossing his features as he met her gaze. He knew that his
apprehensions about being a father were still very much a part of him that he couldn’t easily get rid of.
But the thought of voicing his actual thoughts to Amber seemed like a betrayal of the hope that
blossomed in her at the realization of her pregnancy.

With a forced smile that did little to mask his conflicting emotions, he replied, “Amber, rest assured, I’m
not… unhappy about this news.”

He took a deep breath, this uncertainty hitting him hard as he sought to articte his conflicting
emotions. “I may still be… a little uncertain. But that doesn’t mean I’m unhappy. You, Amber, you’re.
you’re the best that has ever happened to me, and even if someone had to be the mother of my child, it
couldn’t have been anyone else but you. I wouldn’t want it any other way ”
Amber’s expression softened at his words, her happiness, and slight skepticism evident in her eyes as
she regarded him with a tender gaze. “Are you sure, Richard? Are you really okay with this?”
Richard’s gaze softened as he pulled her in for a warm hug to reassure her. “I’m sure, Amber. I’m… I’m
fine with it. So don’t worry about me, okay?”
“Amber, I… I still don’t understand how the ident happened,” Richard said, changing the subject
when he realized that he still had no idea how Amber had gotten into an ident. “The police
mentioned earlier they would send me footage of the ident, but… I couldn’t bring myself to watch
1. it. I was too… afraid to see just how bad it was.”
“To be honest, Richard, it all happened so fast…,” she admitted, unsure of how to even start exining
without shaking and mincing her words. “I can’t exin it all, but… my car, it started to malfunction
suddenly. The brakes… they just didn’t work, and the car began to pick up speed on its own. Before I
knew it, I ran the red light, and then…” She paused, her voice faltering as she
relived the harrowing moments of the ident.
“An SUV hit me, and before I knew it… my car started to tumble. Thest thing I remembered was
feeling something like a drop of water roll down my forehead before I went out cold,” she managed to
exin.
Amber gazed at him with a haunted expression, a shiver tracing down her spine as the memory of the
ident. “I still don’t know, Richard, I don’t know how I came out of that ident with barely any major
injuries. It still shocks me because I… I thought I was… I thought I was going to die.”
Richard’s heart clenched at the vulnerability in her voice, a surge of protectiveness welling up in him as
he reached out to grasp her hand. “Amber, please… never say that word again. I’m… I’m just grateful
that you’re here with me, safe and sound. That’s all that matters.”
He took a deep breath, before proceeding to ask his next question. “Was there anything… anything
off about the car when you were on your way to see your father?*

“Not at all, Richard. There was nothing wrong with the car. And… I know this might sound a little
extreme, but… I’m pretty sure that the ident wasn’t an ident. Someone tried to kill me, Richard.”
“Amber, I… I don’t think it’s extreme for you to consider that someone might have tried to kill you,”
Richard spoke softly. “Given everything that’s been happeningtely, it’s not entirely impossible.”
“As for someone I suspect. Well, Marlene is number one on my list. I hear she’s been on a downward
spiral, so I wouldn’t put it past her to do something drastic,” she pointed out.
Richard’s jaw clenched at the mention of Marlene. “Do you think… do you suspect that it was Marlene
who tried to have you killed?”
Amber hesitated, her gaze flitting away for a moment before meeting Richard’s unwavering stare. “I…
I can’t say for sure, Richard. Marlene is… she’s capable of anything in her current state. So it’s
possible, but I don’t want to say for sure without anything concrete.”
“By the way, Richard, there was someone else…,” she blurted out. “Just before I cked out at the
scene of the ident, I… I saw someone. Someone familiar.”
Richard leaned in closer, his gaze intent as he awaited her next words with bated breath. “Who did
you see, Amber? Who was it?”
Amber’s breath caught in her throat, a sense of foreboding settling over her as she summoned the
courage to unveil the sight that had haunted her since the ident. “Richard, you… you might not
believe this, but the person I saw was Ang. The one you introduced to me before.”
Richard’s eyes widened in shock, a flicker of disbelief crossing his features at the mention of Ang.
“Ang? What… What was she doing there? Why would she… Amber, are you sure it was her
Amber’s expression darkened as she responded. “I know it sounds crazy, Richard. But I… I saw her,
and I’m sure of it.”
