Female Novel
Chapter 573 No Abnormalities!
“Silly guy, why do I feel that you’re acting strange?” Amber stared at Jack with her red and watery eyes.
‘Who was the person who was acting strange?’ Jack thought. Jack threw the blister pack which the pills
came in into the bin and smile, “Am I? Let’s sleep. You’re pregnant. You must not leave without saying
a word. You should at least let me know if you want to go out.”
“Okay, I will.” Amber nodded and wanted to help Jack back onto the bed but Jack rejected. He held
onto the side of the bed and laid down on the bed by himself.
When Amber cuddled into his embrace, Jack could clearly feel that Amber kept trying to avoid looking
directly at him like a child who had done something wrong.
“Good night,” Amber said softly in his embrace.
“Good night,” Jack said calmly as he continued to look towards the trash bin. He could still see the
blister pack and Jack’s spirits were severely weighed down. ‘My fate… how could my fate be handled
by a mysterious person?’ He thought…
…
The next day.
Jack woke up in a daze to the familiar smell of the pungent disinfectant. Jack looked in a daze at the
ceiling board.
“Young Master, you had a deep sleep last night.” Mr. Ward said beside him. Jack looked to the side and
saw Mr. Ward sitting on the sofa reading a book.
Mr. Ward raised his head and said, “It’s almost noon.”
“I slept for so long?” Jack’s expression changed and then slowly sat up on the bed.
The long sleep caused him to be re-energized. He then looked towards the trash bin and it was already
emptied by the cleaning lady in the morning.
He looked around the room and then asked, “Where’s Amber?”
“The weather’s great and Daisy took Missus out for a stroll. Tranquility and some appropriate level of
exercise are good for Missus’ health.”
Jack rubbed his nose and looked out at the beautiful weather but his mind was filled with last night’s
scene. Jack felt depressed as he asked, “Mr. Ward, when I was in the capital, was there anything
strange about Amber’s behavior?”
“Strange behavior?” Mr. Ward was stunned. He could hear from Jack’s tone that something was amiss
and quickly asked, “Master, in which area specifically?”
“In all aspects,” Jack replied.
Mr. Ward nodded and then pondered for a moment, raised his head, and gently shook his head,
“Missus was in the hospital. Brent and I were taking care of Lyndall and Lone Wolf. Daisy was taking
care of Missus. There wasn’t anything abnormal.”
‘None?’ Jack doubted in his heart. He rubbed his nose and continued to be deep in thoughts. Could it
be that what happened last night meant nothing at all?
Mr. Ward looked troubled as he stared at Jack. Based on his experiences, he could tell that something
was wrong. He hesitated for a while before saying, “Master, there wasn’t anything strange about
Missus’ behavior but why do I feel that there is something strange going on with you?”
“Nothing.” Jack came back to his senses, shook his head, and suppressed the doubts in his heart.
He stretched his back and then said, “Help me up. Let’s go and see Lyndall and Lone Wolf.”
Mr. Ward didn’t pursue the matter. He helped Jack into the wheelchair and pushed Jack to visit Lyndall
and Lone Wolf.
Lone Wolf’s injuries had stabilized and well into his recovery but Lyndall’s injuries remained serious. He
was entrapped in the forest for too long and then was shot. The fact that Lyndall was still alive was all
due to his determination to live.
It was also his good fortune that he was able to survive just like Jack a while back. But till today, Jack
still felt puzzled and surprised that he was able to live after being poisoned and thrown into the ocean.
Not only did he survive, but he also didn’t suffer any after-effects which were even more alarming.
Even the most renowned doctor thought that it was impossible! If at that time Jack did not choose to
pretend to be crippled and decided to stand up without any difficulties, then perhaps he couldn’t have
eliminated Felix so easily.
It was already noon when Mr. Ward pushed Jack back to the maternity ward. Amber and Daisy were
back in the room as well. Both of them came back with their hands full of food.
Amber seemed to be surprised to see Jack and hid behind Daisy like a frightened kitten while Daisy
also appeared to be nervous.
Jack looked at the table which was filled with take-out boxes and remarked, “These are take-outs?”
Daisy drooped her head and answered, “Yes, yes Mr. Hughes.” Jack’s expression darkened on hearing
her reply.novelbin
Amber was focused on Jack’s expression, emerged from behind Daisy, and said, “You can’t blame
Daisy. I felt that I had been eating rather bland food and forced Daisy to go with me to get some take-
out from a nearby restaurant. I wanted to eat something tasty.”
Jack looked at Amber’s coy expression and felt unsettled. He was at a loss for words. It was Mr. Ward
who expressed his doubts when he noticed Jack’s silence.
‘What happened to Master after he returned from the Capital?’ Mr. Ward thought.
Though his doubts remained, Mr. Ward was quick to break the awkwardness and said, “Master, it’s
natural that Missus craves for some tasty dishes. It’s alright for her to deviate from her usual diet. I had
previously checked with the doctor.”
“Okay, eat then.” Jack came to his senses and nodded.
“Yippee!” Amber rejoiced and quickly said to Daisy, “Daisy, help me quickly, I want to eat some stewed
trotters.”
Both Jack and Mr. Ward were speechless. Were stewed trotters tasty?
But Jack’s mind was in a knot and couldn’t be bothered. Though a pregnant woman should watch her
diet, Mr. Ward was right that it wouldn’t be a big issue for her to eat something tasty once in a while.
Based on Amber’s physiques, she should have some fattening food to plump up. Jack was in a daze
as he looked at Amber feasting heartily. It wasn’t until the fragrance of the dishes caught Jack’s
attention that he came to his senses.
“Hey silly guy, it’s so tasty. Join me!” Amber said as she chewed on the trotter.
Jack looked at Mr. Ward and Daisy and then smiled, “Okay.”
Jack approached the table and instructed Daisy, “Daisy, it’s fine with Amber eating these but Lone Wolf
and Lyndall cannot eat these at this moment.”
“Rest assured, Mr. Hughes, I’m aware of these.” Daisy calmed down and assured Jack.
Daisy then carried some food that she prepared for Lone Wolf and Lyndall while taking a portion of the
remaining stewed trotter away.
“Hey, Daisy, don’t you know how to take care of the elderly? How could you give the stewed trotter to
Brent?” Mr. Ward teased Daisy.
“Mr. Ward, why don’t Jack and I share some of the trotters with you?” Amber said.
“Mr. Ward waved his hand and said, “How could I take food from your plate? I should quickly find a wife
who can buy me some stewed trotters.” Mr. Ward joked but he continued to observe Jack’s expression.
Jack’s expression did not change. Regardless of whether he was laughing or eating, in Mr. Ward’s
eyes, Jack looked depressed. What happened to Master?
Suddenly, Jack asked, “Amber, last night…”
Before he finished his sentence, Amber, who was happily eating the stewed trotter, suddenly froze and
looked stunned.
