Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 662 Who Are You Apologizing to?

In Jared's dream, he was a child.

As usual, he went upstairs and asked his mother downstairs for breakfast.

Every time Jared knocked on the door, his mother would open the door with a gentle smile.

But this time, no matter how Jared knocked on the door, his mother didn't open it, which made him a little uneasy.

Therefore, Jared asked the servant to get a backup key. As soon as the door was opened, a strong smell of blood came from the bathroom.

With a pale face, Jared froze for a few seconds and then crazily ran to the bathroom.

The door of the bathroom was open, and no sooner had he got to the door than he was stunned.

Jared's mother was lying on the edge of the bathtub, her face and body splattered with blood.

She held the brow razor in one hand while the other hand was placed in the bathtub full of water.

A bathtub of blood-red water.

Jared's mother, whose body was stiff and cold, was dead.

What Jared saw that day was deeply engraved in his memory, and he would remember it on each anniversary of his mother's death. It tormented Jared both mentally and physically, and he could disentangle himself from it.

Even sometimes, Jared dreamed about what had never happened.

For example, this time, he dreamed that his dead mother suddenly stood up from the edge of the bathtub. Covered in blood, she walked toward Jared slowly and asked why he came to her belly.

If she hadn't been pregnant with Jared, she would have left the Farrell family long ago and pursued her love.

Then, she strangled Jared with her blood-stained hands.

Jared opened his eyes in horror. With bloodshot eyes, he was a little short of breath.

Amber was startled, and it took a while for her to recover. She looked down at Jared and patted his face gently. "Jared, what happened?"

Jared stared at the ceiling with hollow eyes as if he didn't hear Amber. His thin lips moved as he murmured something.

Amber bent down, put her ear to his mouth, and listened carefully.

"I'm sorry..."

Sorry?

Amber frowned, her eyes full of doubts.

Why did Jared say sorry?

Who was he saying to?

Amber looked at Jared and knew that he was still dreaming. She quickly grabbed his shoulders and shook him. "Jared, Wake up! Wake up!"

Amber had to wake Jared out of the dream, or it wouldn't be harmful to him.

Jared should recover as soon as possible.

After that, Jared's pupils gradually shrank, and he looked from the ceiling to Amber's face.

Jared stared at Amber, and after a few seconds, he made a voice, "Amber?"

His voice was as hoarse as a drake.

Jared drank too much, so he felt his throat was almost burning.

Amber let go of his shoulders angrily. "You recognized me? Looks like you've sobered up a little."

"Why are you here?" Jared put his left hand on his forehead and tried to sit up from the sofa.

However, Jared was too weak to sit up. He even found it difficult to turn his neck.

Seeing this, Amber grabbed Jared's shoulders and pushed him back onto the sofa. "Well, just lie down and don't get up."

After speaking, Amber rolled her eyes at Jared, "Why am I here? You guessed yesterday that I would come to you today, right? I told you not to turn off your phone today, and you agreed, but you turned it off anyway! Given it was a special day, I'll let it go. Otherwise, I'll refuse to get back together with you."

Usually, Jared would've apologized nervously when he heard the last sentence.

But now, he was not in the mood.

Jared closed his eyes, put an arm over his eyes, and said nothing.

Seeing this, Amber felt very worried and distressed.

They were both orphans.

But what happened to Jared was even more pitiful than Amber's.

Jared's father was murdered in the hotel. Although Jared's mother committed suicide, Jared witnessed it at a very young age.

Amber's mother died when Amber was very young. Amber hadn't started to remember at that time, so she didn't find it that unacceptable, even if she felt sad.

Even though Amber witnessed her father's death, she was an adult back then, so she was strong enough to recover.

Nonetheless, Jared was different. Her mother committed suicide with no warning. Jared was even the first to see her corpse. Thus, it was a big blow to his mind. Thinking of this, Amber leaned over, hugged Jared, and buried her head in his neck. She said in an anxious and worried voice, "Jared, do you know I'm freaked out?" Jared didn't expect that Amber would hug him. He looked down at her in surprise.

Amber stared up at him with red eyes. "Do you know how worried I am after Grandma told me that you would self-harm? I was afraid that you have cut yourself already. I was afraid that when I arrived, all I would see was your dead body lying on the ground!"

Amber couldn't help trembling and choking. Jared knew that she was really frightened.

Jared patted Amber's back gently and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry..."

"It's not enough!" Amber stretched out her hands, held Jared's face, and pretended to be angry. "You should apologize to Grandma and Ben too. They were all worried about you, worried that something would go wrong, but fortunately..."

Amber's expression softened. "Fortunately, I arrived in time and you got drunk before you have time to self-harm, or you would have been lying on a hospital bed rather than the sofa."

Jared lowered his eyes and did not say anything.

He wanted to self-harm.

But he fainted before he did that.

After drinking only a few bottles of wine, Jared got a burning pain in his heart and fainted.

Therefore, Jared fainted rather than got drunk.

Jared could still feel the pain in his heart.

However, Jared must hide it from Amber.

Jared looked silent. Amber sighed helplessly, then looked into his eyes and said gently, "Jared, what about seeing a therapist?"

"A psychologist?" Jared's thin lips moved and repeated.

Amber nodded. "Yes, every year on this exact day you become a different person. It's because you have a psychological problem. You witnessed your mother's suicide, so it left you with a terrible impression. A psychiatrist may well help you forget what you saw that day or accept it. After that, you will be fine."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
