Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 451 Life Span of a Heart

"Of course not!" Bernard scratched his hair and said crossly, "Inform our men to stop that plan. We can't let her replace it." "Yes, Mr. Delgado." The assistant nodded and left his office respectfully.

Bernardo stayed in his office alone. He smashed all things from the desk to the floor. His face and neck turned red in anger.

He had planned to set Cole up when Amber wasn't in the company, so Cole could make a huge mistake.

In that case, he would have an excuse to replace Amber and ask her to give up her management power.

After all, Cole was just a nominal director in Goldstone. He wasn't Goldstone's employee at all.

Amber gave the management power to an outsider. Many people in the company were unhappy about it. Hence, as long as Cole made a mistake, those employees against him initially would definitely blame Amber. In that case, Bernardo believed it would be much easier for him to take back the management power. However, he had just ordered his men to carry out the plan, which hadn't been executed, Amber returned. As she came back, Cole would leave the company. Bernardo didn't think he could frame Cole at all.

Hence, he had to replace another chance to get back the management power from Amber.

On the other side, Amber entered her office without knowing Bernardo's conspiracy. Hence, she didn't realize her return had unintentionally disrupted Bernardo's plan. She pulled the chair and sat at the desk, putting her purse on it.

Opposite her, Sheila stood with a folder. "Welcome back, Ms. Reed."

"Thanks." Amber smiled, turning on her computer.

"By the way, Ms. Reed, Ms. Chan from the finance department submitted the letter of resignation this morning." Sheila pulled out a file from the folder while speaking.

Amber took it over. "I know Stella's resignation. She called me in the morning. Hence, please take care of the finance department, for the time being, Sheila."

"I got it, Ms. Reed." Sheila closed the folder and answered.

Amber signed on Stella's resignation letter and gave it back to her. "Please go to the HR department and let them replace some candidates for the position of finance department manager. If there's anyone suitable, ask them to send me the resume."

The position of the finance department manager was pretty important. She dared not to hire an inexperienced employee and couldn't promote from the company.

After all, many people in this company worked for Bernardo. She couldn't guarantee if the promoted employee were one of his men.

Hence, Amber had to replace a candidate within the industry. It would be better to replace a professional with the same function from another company. If not, she would train someone by herself, although it would take a long while.

Anyway, she wouldn't let Bernard's subordinate take over such an important position.

"Okay, Ms. Reed." Sheila nodded.

Amber picked up a file and opened it. "If there's nothing else, you can go back to work now, Sheila."

"Okay." Sheila turned out.

Amber started dealing with the documents.

In the afternoon, she ended work early and asked the driver to send her to Primary Medical Center.

Meanwhile, in the VIP ward of Primary Medical Center, Jared coughed and finally opened his eyes.

He hadn't seen the light for a long time. When he first opened his eyes, he felt dazzling. After a long while, he finally got used to it.

Ben was smoking on the balcony. Upon hearing the sounds from the inside, he was taken aback. Then he tossed away the half-smoked cigarette and strode into the ward.

"Mr. Farrell!" Ben called him excitedly when seeing he had opened his eyes.

Jared tilted his head to look over. "Ben?"

"Yes, it's me, Mr. Farrell." Ben walked to his bed and said happily, "Great! Mr. Farrell, you were in a coma for almost four days. Finally, you woke up."

"Almost four days?" Jared frowned, having no idea he had been in a coma for such a long time.

He only knew his head turned hot in the latter half of that night in the cave. Then he felt dizzy and lost his consciousness.

He hadn't expected to be in a coma for almost four days.

Since when had he become so fragile?

Jared pressed his lips tightly, feeling unhappy about his nutritional status.

He pressed the bedsheet, trying to sit up.

Ben immediately stopped him. "Mr. Farrell, you can't move. Or the wound on your back will crack. Your organs also haven't recovered yet. You need to lie down for rest."

"Organs?" Jared's expression changed slightly. "What happened to my organs?"

"Let me explain. I'm your doctor, so I can professionally tell you," Elias said at the door.

Jared and Ben looked over in unison.

Elias leaned against the door frame while spinning a scalpel in his hand. He seemed to have arrived for a long while without making any sound.

Seeing their gazes, Elias pushed up his glasses and stopped striking the pose. He put away the scalpel and walked into the ward. Then he looked at Jared's left chest and said, "Your body had been hit fiercely Let alone the wound on your back, your liver and spleen were cracked slightly. The most important is your heart."

"My heart?" Jared listened to him, his eye pupils shrinking. He put a hand on his chest and asked, "What happened to my heart?"

"Your heart..."

When Elias was about to answer, Ben suddenly clenched his fists tightly and interrupted him, "No, Dr. Lansdale! You can't tell him." "Why not?" Jared's face darkened. He looked at Ben unhappily.

Ben dodged his gaze. "I'm sorry, Mr. Farrell. I don't think you should know about this matter. I'm afraid you won't bear it..."

"I won't bear it?" Jared squinted and said in a cold tone, "Who do you think I am? A fragile chicken? Don't I even have the capability to bear the truth? Besides, it's my own heart. Don't I have the right to know what's going on?"

"Mr. Farrell, I didn't mean it. I just..."

"Enough! You, shush!" Jared snapped at him and looked over at Elias. "Tell me. What on earth has happened to my heart."

"All right. I'll tell you the truth." Elias shrugged and became solemn. "Your heart has been transplanted, so it was weaker than the normal ones. After the hit this time, there was a slight rupture of the heart valve Hence, it shortened the life span of your heart."

Then he looked at Jared.

Much to his surprise, Jared was expressionless. He wasn't surprised or shocked after knowing that the life span of his heart had been shortened.

Elias was shocked.

Jared was way too calm.

But in fact, Jared did have a reaction. He had just guessed about it and been well prepared.

Earlier, when Elias mentioned his heart and was stopped by Ben, Jared had realized that something must go wrong with his heart.

Hence, he didn't react fiercely after listening to Elias.

Instead, he just felt that his guess had been confirmed.

"Mr. Farrell..." Seeing that Jared looked down to cover the expression in his eyes, Ben thought he had been heavily blown. He asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

Jared's eyes twinkled. "I'm fine. How long will my heart last?" he asked Elias while pointing at his chest.0000
