Chapter 22 Exception
"I paid the ransom and save her out."
"Did those people find out who they are?"
"Amy's mother is addicted to gambling. She lost her money in gambling and was taken away by her enemy who owed her gambling debt."
Rose frowned. If it was those villains had kidnapped Janice, then Amanda's unwillingness to call the police made sense then.
But it had nothing to do with Rose. Why did those people ask for ten million ransom from Amanda, or her guarantee of not to entangle with Burke?
In the phone call from Amanda that day, a man who claimed to be Rocky Chen appeared. But when she and Xavier arrived at the scene, there were only two people, Amanda and Burke. And it was obvious that Burke arrived later.
And who was the man hiding in the dark and wanting to hurt her? Was he one of Janice's foe, or Rocky?
The more Rose thought about it, the more annoyed she became.
"Have a good rest. You fainted this afternoon because you were too tired. Don't think too much. I'll handle it."
"Is it okay to leave everything to you?"
She said in a calm tone and looked down at the ground.
The distrust in his tone made Burke stiff all over.
She still had doubts about him, but he could not refute or prove it.
He was on a business trip. The difficulty of the company was far beyond his expectation. He had to spend more time and energy to deal with it.
He planned to have a talk with her when he was free.
At least she was his wife. He didn't want his marriage to be in a mess. Even if it was a contractual marriage, he had thought of running it well.
During his business trip, he could give each other some space to calm down.
He didn't expect to receive a call from Amanda when he was too busy.
On the phone, Amanda's tears welled up and she kept saying that Rose was the one who kidnapped her mother.
As it was concerned with Rose and Amanda, he had to come back to deal with them.
"In fact, Amanda called me earlier and threatened me with my father. I called you back, but your phone was always off. " With her hand touching the handbag on the bedside table, Rose took out her phone, found out the threat message and handed it to Burke.
"Besides, I have recorded the conversation between Amanda and me. If you don't believe me, you can listen to it. "
Staring at the text for a long time, Burke replied, "No, thanks."
"Are you sure?" Rose took back her phone, "How can you trust me like this? Is it too hasty? "
She was mocking him.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Burke took a deep breath to calm himself down. Then he said, "When you called me, I was in the plane. Later, I got off the plane and before I could return your message, I received a call from Amy. She didn't tell me the truth and she just said that her mother would be in danger if you didn't go. You know that Amy only has her mother. Her mother is poor and in danger. I have no choice but to help her. That's why I made to the reservoir. "
"Done?" She asked softly.
He didn't know what to say.
"She comes from a poor family and I don't?" Rose grew angrier as she thought of those words. Her voice became choked, "My father is the only family I have! I lost my baby because of her! I'm so kind that I haven't hurt her. But you still haven't let me off! You even misunderstood me! Take advantage of me! Burke! Don't you feel guilty? !"
She was so angry that she pulled the needle tubing on her hand and threw the pillow beside her to the man standing straight.
Burke took the pillow, walked over, and held her in his arms quietly. She was on the verge of breaking down.
She tried hard to break away from his embrace. Bloodstains could be seen from his wound on his right hand, which was wrapped in gauze. But Burke held her tightly, bearing the pain.
"I also feel heartbroken for the miscarriage." He took her hand to his chest and said, "Rose, I also suffer a lot here. That's my baby. "
She suddenly burst into tears and beat him in the chest. She cried silently.
"Burke, have you ever thought about the possibility that I might be in danger when I was in that situation?"
The clock on the wall indicated that it was nine o'clock in the evening.
The inpatient department was very quiet at night.
He hugged her and buried his handsome face in her hair.
"Yes, but I'm with you. I won't let anyone hurt you." He said.
"Why?" She asked.
Why did he say that to her when she was so desperate about him.
"I don't know. I don't know either." He closed his eyes to smell her scent, and suddenly felt at ease and comfortable.
His tiredness due to his long journey and the trouble caused by the trivial matters were all gone.
It seemed that with her in his arms, the whole world became quiet.
And his heart, which had been dangling for a long time, was finally relieved.
She was right in his arms. It was so good. That was exactly what he was thinking.
"I don't know why, but I always break my rules for you. Rose, tell me why?"
