Hearing this, Amber, who was applying hand cream, stopped. After a bit of silence, she asked, “Didn’t Elias say that they could start with doctors and hospitals for treating ALS? No news?”


    Jared nodded, “There is no record of any of these institutions, or the doctors in these institutions have received or visited new patients with ALS. Therefore, the investigation team concluded that Maka didn’t want treatment.”


    Amber twisted her eyebrows. “What? Is she crazy?”


    ALS was one of the most fatal diseases in the world. There wasn’t any way to heal it. It could, at best, be contained.


    Those diagnosed with ALS had to start the treatment as soon as possible. Otherwise, their body would turn stiff very quickly. Their muscles would atrophy. Eventually, they would be paralyzed, and then die in pain.


    Maka, in order not to go to jail, would do anything, including putting her life in danger.


    Amber was puzzled. She thought, “Maka should cherish her life. After all, she is bent on my death.


    How could she allow herself to die while I’m still alive?”


    Therefore, Amber couldn’t figure out why Maka didn’t see a doctor.


    However, Amber had no intention to go on racking her brain.


    She resumed what she was doing, and gently said, “Alright. No matter where she is, as long as she has ALS, one day, she’ll show up. It’s gettingte, you should rest.”


    Amber nned to get in bed after he had fallen asleep.


    She hadn’t been used to getting in bed together with him. It felt kind of weird doing so.


    However, Jared didn’t do as asked. He lifted her quilt and patted her side of the bed. “It’ste. Come up.”


    He couldn’t wait to see her get into bed. Amber twitched her lips slightly at her eagerness.


    She shook her head. “No. Just sleep. I’ll get in bed after you fall asleep.”


    Jared instantly understood that Amber was shy.


    They were not in a rtionship, nor did they get married. Amber was a shy girl. She couldn’t just get into bed so naturally as he did.


    She would feel less embarrassed if he fell asleep.


    But this time, Jared didn’t n to listen to Amber.


    The room was heated, yet it could still be very cold to sit outside.


    Not to mention that he had no idea when would he fall asleep.


    “Good girl,e up now. Otherwise, I won’t sleep. Are we going topete about this?” After saying that, Jared picked up his phone.


    Amber never thought Jared could be so stubborn. She was so angry that she widened her eyes.


    She knew that he did it on purpose. He wanted her to get into bed while he was still awake.


    Well, she just wouldn’t do what he wanted.


    Amber sat on the dressing stool, and stared at Jared with her arms around her, waiting for him to fall asleep.


    Jared knew she was looking at him, of course, but he pretended not to know. He casually scratched his phone with his thumb.


    The two of them arepeting. She was waiting for him to fall asleep.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    He was waiting for her to get in.


    Jared didn’t mind ying this with Amber.


    He also wanted to know who would win.


    For a moment, none of them spoke. The room was deadly quiet.


    Amber had been silently wishing that Jared would fall asleep soon.


    However, Jared was not sleepy at all. He was energetic.


    Amber felt exhausted from the inside out.


    If this went on, she would have to wait for a long time.


    Amber looked down, hiding the bitter smile in her eyes.


    But no matter what, she would not give in. She took a deep breath and went on waiting.


    After ten more minutes or so, Amber felt her feet turn cold, as well as her back.


    The heater was on in the room. However, one always feels cold when it’s time to sleep. To make things worse, Amber was wearing a thinyer.


    Thinking of this, Amber trembled.


    Seeing this, Jared, who was on the bed, knew that Amber was getting cold. He signed.


    He told himself he better stop right here, if Amber got sick, he would be worried.


    Jared didn’t know if he could fall asleep soon, so he decided to pretend.


    Just as Jared was about to turn off his phone and pretended to sleep, Amber, who was sitting on the dressing stool, suddenly stood up.


    Jared looked at her and saw Amber walking over with a blushed face. Her steps were rigid and particrly small.


    She was nervous, and she felt humiliated.


    Jared said, “Aren’t you going to wait until I fall asleep?”


    She was going to be frozen!


    And this was her room. He should be the one waiting outside.


    Amber shed her eyes guiltily, pretending not to hear anything. She opened her nket and got in, huddled herself, and wrapped up like a cocoon, looking cute and funny.


    Jared couldn’t help smiling.


    He knew that she wouldn’t ept it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t wait to bend down and wrap this cocoon baby entirely.


    It must feel great.


    “I am going to warn you again.” Amber suddenly turned her head, bulging her eyes at Jared. “Don’t sneak into my nket. If I caught you, I’ll throw you out. I would never let you stay likest night.”


    “Okay, I won’t.” Jared nodded and quickly answered.


    However, Amber wouldn’t just believe it. She blinked and said, “Swear?”


    “Okay, I swear.” Jared raised his hand with a serious expression on his face. “I swear I won’t sneak into your nket. Otherwise, the date of us getting back together will be postponed.”


    …


    Amber gasped in her heart.


    He really dared to take an oath.


    He was so eager to get back together with her, now to make her believe him, he swore on this.


    It seems that she can still trust him.


    Amber nodded. “You said it. If you failed, we’ll have to talk about getting back together in a month.”


    With that, she turned her head back, closed her eyes, and was ready to sleep.


    Jared looked down at her and smiled.


    He had indeed sworn that he would not sneak into her nket, and he was serious.


    But that didn’t mean he couldn’t sleep under the same nket with her.


    After all, the swear was only valid to him. She could still get into his nket.


    Thinking about this, Jared turned off his phone, turned off the lights,y down, and closed his eyes.


    When he heard a steady breath beside him, he knew that she was asleep.


    After that, Jared opened his eyes, gently pulled out Amber’s nket by the light of the temperature disy of the heating, and then threw the nket on the ground dashingly.


    Then, he took out half of his nket and covered Amber with it.


    In this way, he achieved his purpose. Amber was now under his nket.


    Jared moved toward Amber until reach the back of her chest. Then he held out his hand, hitched a ride on her waist, and closed his eyes contentedly.


    The next day, Amber woke up first.


    As soon as she opened her eyes, she realized that something was wrong.


    The familiar shackles, the familiar fragrance, the familiar feeling. It was the same as the day before yesterday when she suddenly woke up in the middle of the night.


    He cuddled her again! How shameless!


    Amber jerked back.


    As expected, Jared’s handsome face was just behind her head, only ten centimeters away from her. She could feel his breath hitting on her face.


    Amber bit her lips in anger.


    She shouldn’t have trusted this guy!
