My ex-wife is so beautiful novel (Jared and Amber) -
Chapter 805 A Sour Taste in Heart
The only thing Trenton could do now was to accompany Debbie as much as possible at the end of his life, take her to places she liked, enjoy the food she always did - to make up for her, even just a little. Having been married to Trenton Gardner for almost thirty years, Debbie knew him well from the inside out.
When she saw Trenton's expression at the moment, she knew what was on his mind.
However, because Debbie knew Trenton well, she felt even sadder - her tears flowed directly, "Trent, you are not going to die, okay? Please don't say that. We will have a matching kidney soon, please don't give up!"
Debbie held Trenton's hand tightly and didn't want to let go.
She was afraid that as soon as she let go, the man would be gone.
Of course Trenton had read her fear. He patted her on the back again, "You and I both are aware how low the chances are when it comes to finding me a matching kidney, baby."
"No!" Debbie couldn't take it anymore. She hugged Trenton directly, buried her head on his shoulder, and couldn't stop crying.
But Trenton smiled gently and patted her on the back, "There, there. Don't cry, baby. People are watching. Please don't cry, my love."
And of course, Debbie knew it was a bit embarrassing bursting into tears in public like this and to be looked at.
Debbie lifted her head from Trenton's shoulders, took out her handkerchief from the pocket, wiped her eyes lightly. She stopped crying and smiled - getting back to the wealthy elegant lady before all these had happened, as if the person who were just crying like a baby wasn't her.
"Alright, babe. Let's not dwell on this, okay? Think about something pleasant. We are here for the herbal cakes, come on."
Debbie suppressed the sadness in her heart and agreed. She then took Trenton's arm and walked forward.
The two came to the ordering counter.
Trenton coughed twice and said, "We would like a piece of herbal cake, please."
The clerk looked up at him and said apologetically, "We're sorry, sir. The last portion was bought by the lady over there."
She was pointing the lady who was sitting in front, with her back against the couple - Amber Reed.
Amber seemed to have felt someone pointing at her. She put down the water glass and turned her head. Seeing the Gardners, she was stunned.
So were the Gardners.
"It's you?"
"It's you?"
The three of them said it out loud at the same time.
The clerk looked at Amber and then at the Gardner couple, only to realize that they knew each other.
Now that the three of them knew each other, the clerk would just give them space.
"Why are you here?" Debbie asked with a gloomy face, holding Trenton's arm tightly.
Trenton didn't say a word, but the way he looked at Amber was gloomy and cold.
Amber looked at these two people who had a terrible attitude toward her, and stood up with a sneer at the corner of her mouth, "This is not the territory of the Gardner family, why can't I be here? Why would Mrs. Gardner ask such a stupid question?"
"You..." Debbie's face flushed with anger.
Trenton put his hand in front of her, motioning her to calm down, then he faced Amber himself.
He still didn't speak though, just staring at Amber this whole time.
Looking at Amber's face, Trenton was lost in his thoughts for some reason.
Seriously, they really looked alike!
Amber looked like her mother in both profile and overall facial contour.
Trenton had noticed it before, but he didn't take it to heart, neither did he care too much.
So later, he gradually forgot that how much Amber looked like her mother.
It wasn't until the last time Trenton saw Amber's press conference that he suddenly realized that Amber might actually be Makayla, whether it was the time when she was adopted or the similarities she had to her mother.
But in fact, she was not.
He wasn't sure whether to feel regretful or happy about this.
Even now, when he sees Amber, he had some indescribable complex feelings.
At first, he was about to teach this girl a lesson, but now, he was full of complicated feelings that he couldn't make out at all.
And even at this moment, Amber looked at him with a subtle feeling in her heart.
She was used to Trenton's eyes malicious look at her, but facing Trenton now, she felt a little awkward.
Although Trenton looked at her grimly, there was a special emotion she couldn't describe.
That emotion made her very uncomfortable, and she felt like she was tied.
Amber didn't show the feelings though - she hid them well and looked at Trenton calmly.
She hadn't seen him for a while, but she knew that he was in and out the hospital these days.
She had no idea how serious his condition was until Makayla Gardner came to her over and over again, begging her for help.
Now seeing that Trenton Gardner had become so skinny, Amber just realized that he was really sick.
Amber wasn't sure why her heart was feeling kind of blocked and sour, seeing Trenton this way. She should have been happy, after all, her enemy now was sick and dying.
However, she didn't feel any happiness but sadness.
Sadness...
Amber bit her lip.
Was she sad that Trenton was terminally ill?
But how was it possible!
This was absolutely impossible - she must be out of her mind if she would be sad for the enemy.
Amber clenched her palms tightly, took a deep breath, and suppressed all her terrible thoughts deep in her heart, then pretended to be impatient and glanced at the couple. She turned to the clerk and asked, "Excuse me. Is my herbal cake ready?"
Her words made the atmosphere at the scene a lot more relaxed.
Trenton also stopped staring at Amber finally. He just lowered his head, thinking about something.
In fact, Trenton tonight surprised Amber Reed somewhat.
In the past, every time she saw Trenton, she would get angry with Trenton Gardner, because this person would taunt her no matter what.
Therefore, she could not avoid arguing with him.
But today, Trenton didn't say a word, which made her feel a little weird.
However, it was likely because that he was ill and weak.
While Amber was still thinking about it, the clerk suddenly said, "Ma'am, your herbal cake."
"Okay, thanks." Amber smiled at her and reached out, ready to take the bag.
But when Amber was reaching out her hand, Debbie suddenly noticed something and her pupils shrank, grabbed Amber's hand and dragged her to themselves. "Ouch!" Amber was almost dragged to fall to the ground by Debbie.
Luckily Amber had reacted in time and held onto the table of the ordering counter to keep her balance, she would definitely fall.
"What's wrong with you, Mrs. Gardner?" After Amber stood firm, she let go of the table, stared at Debbie who was a little emotional, and questioned loudly.
The people nearby around them were drawn to look over by her voice, curious about what was going on.
Even Trenton was shocked by his wife's actions.
But immediately, Trenton frowned and said to Debbie in a low voice, "What are you doing? Let go of her now. Even if you want to punish her, you should avoid doing this in public. You are trapping yourself now."
Debbie ignored his words and just kept staring at Amber's wrist. She was looking at the light scar on Amber's wrist, and her whole body was shaking with excitement, "Trent, look!"
"What the heck are you looking at? Let go of me or I'm calling the cops." Amber was annoyed, pulling out her hand hard.
Debbie grabbed her wrist tightly, "Can you please hold on? Just let me take a look, please. I'm begging you!"
This "I'm begging you" made Amber completely stunned.
Amber stopped struggling and looked up at Debbie in disbelief, "You... do you know what you're saying?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
