Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 938 No regrets

At Amber's question, Sheila dropped her hand from the doorknob, "I went to the hospital, but I left halfway through." "What?" Amber frowned, "What do you mean? You didn't have surgery?"

"Yes." Sheila nodded slightly.

"But why?" Amber was even more surprised, "Did you suddenly regret it before you went into the operating room?"

It was possible.

Many women gave up their children on impulse. When it came to giving up, most of them would back out.

So, it made sense that Sheila would suddenly change her mind.

But Sheila shook her head. "No. I have no regrets. It's just... I can't do the surgery today."

"Why?" Confused, Amber pulled Sheila over to the couch and sat her down.

She was a pregnant woman, after all, and her back would ache from standing so long.

Sheila answered Amber's question with a grateful smile, "I went to the hospital today to have my surgery, but just before, I ran into Mrs. Lyon."

"Mrs. Lyon?" Amber was stunned.

Sheila bit her lips, "Yeah."

"What happened to Mrs. Lyon?" Amber became worried, "Is she ill?"

But that couldn't be right.

Mrs. Lyon was fine last night!

Sure enough, Sheila shook her head, "No, Mrs. Lyon wasn't sick. She just went for a routine checkup."

"Oh, I see." Amber was relieved to hear this.

She was glad to know that Mrs. Lyon was fine.

She was so worried about her.

Amber patted her chest, then relaxed. She looked at Sheila and asked, "So, when you met Mrs. Lyon at the hospital, you abruptly cut off surgery for fear that Mrs. Lyon would replace out you were pregnant?" Sheila looked at her and nodded, "Yes, as you know, I went to college with Mr. Lyon. After graduation, I worked as a secretary for Mr. Lyon for several years. Mrs. Lyon knew me. When Mrs. Lyon used to visit Mr. Lyon, she would bring me some homemade snacks. As time went by, Mrs. Lyon and I became very familiar with each other. Sometimes when Mr. Lyon was away, I would go shopping and have dinner with her. Mrs. Lyon considered me her friend, so to speak. If she found out what surgery I had today, she'd wonder whose baby I was having, and even if I lied about it, she'd go home and tell Mr. Lyon about it as gossip. Then Mr. Lyon will also know that I'm pregnant and that the baby is his."

Amber frowned and nodded, "It's possible, after all, you used to be Cole's secretary, and when Mrs. Lyon replaces out you're pregnant, she'll bring it up to Cole."

"So, as soon as I separated from Mrs. Lyon, I asked the hospital to temporarily postpone the surgery." Sheila sighed and said bitterly.

Amber looked at her, "Mrs. Lyon didn't suspect you were pregnant, did she?"

Sheila waved her hand, "No, Mrs. Lyon did ask me what was wrong with me, and all I told her was that I had something wrong with my neck. Fortunately, those of us who spend a lot of time in offices do have cervical spine problems, so Mrs. Lyon believed me and told me to buy some massagers to massage my neck."

"Mrs. Lyon is a wonderful person." Amber smiled.

Sheila also gave a little smile, "Yeah, Mrs. Lyon is very nice."

Anyone who could be Mrs. Lyon's daughter-in-law would be happy.

Mrs. Lyon was a kind woman, and definitely not the kind of evil mother-in-law who would be mean to her daughter-in-law.

Instead, she might get along with her daughter-in-law as if she were her daughter.

Unfortunately, she wasn't destined to be Mrs. Lyon's daughter-in-law.

Noticing that Sheila was upset, Amber reached out and gently patted her on the shoulder, "Well, don't think much about it. You didn't expect to see Mrs. Lyon today. Just adjust your mind, and as for surgery, you can do it next time."

"Okay."

Sheila looked at Amber and gave another faint smile.

Amber pulled her hand back, "But if you didn't have surgery, why are you at work instead of going home?"

"I didn't have anything to do at home, and I was bored, so I just stopped by the office to see everybody. But rest assured, I know what I'm doing and I'll be careful with my body." Sheila said.

What else could Amber say? She just smiled and nodded, "Good. By the way, what did you come in for?"

Amber asked.

Sheila had no papers in her hand when she knocked on the door.

So, it was probably not about business.

Sure enough, Sheila sighed when Amber asked, "It wasn't a big deal. The girls in the secretarial office pushed me out."

"What do you mean?" Amber was intrigued.

Sheila shrugged and smiled, "It is because we all know that Mr. Farrell has given you many gifts, and we wonder what kind of gift you brought to the office with a high profile instead of a low profile like you used to be. They were too embarrassed to ask you, so they pushed me out. Honestly, you and I are the best friends in the company, and you would tell me if I ask. I had no choice but to come, Miss Reed, and I doubt you would send me back with empty eyes, unable to tell them anything about it."

She said, brushing aside the loneliness and bitterness of pregnancy and smiling at Amber.

Amber was pleased to see her feeling better.

Although Sheila said it was not her fault that she was the way she was.

But she always felt that there was also her cause and effect in it.

So, she always felt a little guilty about Sheila.

Seeing Sheila brighten up would keep her heart from sinking.

"Of course not. If you want to know, I'll show you. After all, joy is to be shared." Amber said with a smile.

Then she pointed to the coffee table in front of her, "Here they are. Help me open them."

"I don't think so." Sheila shook her head and waved her hand, "This is for you from Mr. Farrell. How can I open it for you?"

"It's okay. It's just a gift. Just pretend I can't open it alone." Amber smiled and said casually.

Sheila twitched the corner of her mouth, "Miss Rees, you are showing off! If I could, I'd love to have more than I can unwrap." "You will." Amber looked at her. "You're so good. It's gonna happen one day."

"Well then, thank you." Sheila's smile returned.

Without further comment, Amber pushed a gift box toward her and asked her to open it.

Sheila gave up her shyness and began to help her open her presents.

Although the gift was not hers, she could feel the joy of opening it.

Especially when she opened the box and saw the true face of the gift, there were no words to express her satisfaction.

Very soon, several gift boxes were opened by two people.

Amber looked at the box of luxury items and didn't say anything. She already knew what they were.

Of course, though there was no outward reaction, she was happy.

It was from Jared, after all.

As for Sheila, she was so surprised that she could hardly shut her mouth.

It was a few moments later when Sheila recovered, pointed to the gifts on the end table, swallowed, and said, "Miss Reed, Mr. Farrell did know how to please a woman!"
