Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 684 Celebration Gifts

Sheila lowered her eyes, replied guiltily, "Not sure, I haven't got a further check yet."

Lately she had been vomiting quite often the she had just been.

Moreover, her period was being late, making her begin to associate the symptoms with pregnancy.

So she had originally planned to get a pregnancy test stick from the pharmacy to test it herself after work.

Never had she expected herself to be seen puking by Miss Reed.

She had to lie to Amber so as not to disclose the likelihood of her pregnancy.

She felt extremely sorry to her.

"How could you not have it checked yet?" demanded Amber with a shock, thinking people had to have so little respect for their body to be so reckless.

Sheila felt ashamed of her dishonesty with her as she saw Amber getting fumed for worrying about her so much.

With her head hung, she whispered, "My mother is living with me now. I haven't hurried to get a further check because I am afraid that my mother would see me taking medicine and something like that. I don't want her to worry about me, you know, considering her age and her bad health."

"Be that as it may, "said Amber biting her ruddy bottom lip, "you can't put it off forever."

"I will be going for a check-up this afternoon," muttered Sheila.

"You will?" Amber squinted her eyes and questioned.

With a nod, Sheila said, "Of course, I know it's bad to keep putting this off."

Sheila thought if she was really with a baby, she would be given more time to consider how to deal with it by knowing it earlier.

Otherwise, if she was really sick, she could get the treatment earlier too.

It didn't sound such a horrible thing to her either way.

The expression of Amber's face was mellowed after being reassured that she would go to a doctor, but she was still deeply concerned, "I hope you mean what you said. You will go to a doctor and get a check in the afternoon. You mean more than a secretary to me. You are also my only female friend. I don't want anything bad to happen to you. If, it came to that, who were I going to confide to and who's to help me with my work?

Sheila felt warmth rising from the bottom of hear heart, her eyes red with tears, "Thank you for caring so much about me," she said.

Patting her shoulder, Amber said, "You are my friend, of course I care about you, but are you sure you don't need to go down to the infirmary?" She remained worried.

Sheila shook her violently as she said, "No, actually, I'm feeling all right."

Amber gave up pushing after her insistence on not going, thinking she would go to hospital today anyway, so there would be no need to urge her any more.

"OK then, let's get out of here," said Amber.

Sheila agreed and followed out of the bathroom.

When they returned to the office, Amber gave her the honey water she had made for her, "Drink this. It's good for your stomach."

Sheila was so moved that her noise was feeling a little sour at the sight of the yellowish drink.

A clump came right into her throat as she took the cup, "Thank you very much, Miss Reed."

"Stop thanking me already. As I just said, we are friends and this is not worth mentioning. Just drink it." said Amber, as she sat down on the chair she had placed for herself. Sheila nodded and sipped the drink out of the cup.

Amber smiled after seeing her taking it and then she began scrolling her phone.

There was a message sent by Jared one minute before. She clicked it open and it said: I have got to the hospital now.

Amber moved her fingers wildly as she tested back: OK, send my wishes to Georgia.

She waited a little while for Jared to text back after she had sent the message, but to no avail, thinking he might have his phone at hand.

She put down her phone feeling a little frustrated.

Sheila noticed that and asked smilingly, "Are you texting Mr. Farrell?"

Without trying to hide it from her, Amber nodded slightly and said, "Yeah."

"So you two are going on really well. You have just seen each other minutes ago, and now you began to miss him." Sheila teased, throwing away her empty cup.

Amber smiled and said, "Yeah, so far so good, but who knows how it will go in the future? Any relationship can cool down as time goes by, no matter how hot has been. The only thing to do for me is to seize the present."

She would cherish what she had with Jared so she would be left with no regrets whatsoever.

"You two will be together happily ever after. I believe you will," Sheila expressed her genuine blessing.

Amber smiled at her and said, "I hope so. Thank you."

"Well, mind if I go out if it's not necessary for me to be here anymore?" Sheila pointed at the door.

Amber gave a slight nod, "Sure. Please tell the people that I am sorry for keeping them wait at the meet..."

She was cut out by a knock on the door.

With a frown, she said to the door, "Come in."

An assistant walked in as the door was pushed open.

The newcomer came to Amber and said, "Miss Reed,"

"What's the matter?" Amber took a sip of her tea.

"The Farrell Group have sent a guy here with lots of gifts for us."

"What?" Amber looked surprised for a moment before she hastily put down her cup and looked at her, "Did you just say they're from the Farrell Group?"

"Yes. They said it's from Mr. Farrell for every member of Goldstone." The assistant nodded instantly.

Sheila pushed her black-famed glassed and said, "I guess it's some kind of a getting-back-together celebration gift, like wedding candies given away to relatives and colleagues." Raising her eyebrow, Amber said, "That's too thoughtful to be his idea. He's not that kind of a guy who will ever do such things."

The assistant's eyes lighted up at the conversation. Excitedly, she asked, "Miss Reed, are you and Mr. Farrell back together like the news said the other day?"

Looking at the speaker who was worked up by the juicy gossip about her, Amber smiled wanly and shook her head, "Well, you just heard what we said."

"I did, but I just want to make sure." The assistant chuckled, thrilled inside, thinking, "Oh my gosh! I can't believe they are really back together. How exciting!"

Ignoring the emotional assistant, she picked up her phone and unlocked it, "I'm going to ask that man what's with all these things."

Hardly had she begun dialing the number than her phone rang.

It was from Ben.

Amber promptly answered it and the other said, "Hi, Miss Reed. This is Ben Channing, Mr. Farrell's assistant."

"Hi, Ben," Amber nodded to him.

"Did you see our people, Miss Reed?" said Ben standing outside Georgia Clinton's ward.

"Yes, I did, "replied Amber affirmatively, "what's with the red packets and food, Ben?"

Ben laughed and said, "It's something of joy-sharing gift in celebration of you and Mr. Farrell's romantic reunion. Mr. Farrell arranged me to get them for all staff in Goldstone to share your happiness with them. Not only them, everyone in the Farrell Group is going to receive this gift."

Amber raised her head and said to Sheila, "You were right."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
