The Story Of Amber
Chapter 8

Hearing from the hospital that Earl has just undergone surgery leads Sean to quickly return to Washington. Sean looked at Amber and Amanda in turn. "You didn't tell me?" ask Sean not to believe it.

Amanda who was already annoyed with Sean's attitude just sighed rudely. "Trust me Sean, you haven't even picked up a single grill from me, even Amber has been trying to ask for your help but you can't be reached at all" Amanda replied.

"Not a single call even a message from you," replied Sean puzzled, even showing his call history. "I'm the one who has trouble contacting you" Sean continued.

"Let me guess this is what Deliah did. Your ex-wife is a little bit of a bitch to us" Amanda grumbled.

Amber quickly nudged Amanda's arm to stop her speech. "Already, after all everything has been resolved, the company gave me a fairly large loan for this operation. Earl has also improved and the operation is going well" Amber replied.

Sean was silent for a moment, his relationship with Amber was not as close as before, even several times also Amber called him with the frills of the doctor, making Sean increasingly feel distant with Amber. "I'll focus on taking care of Earl from tomorrow, let me go to Earl whenever I want" Sean said. Just as Amanda was about to protest, Sean raised his hand. "Fantasy, this is all for the Earl's good, he needs supervision and caring for a small child after the surgery at home is not that easy as Amanda. Amber, you let me, right?"

Carl frowned, this was the third time he had seen a doctor enter the alley. Even Carl can guess when the doctor came home Amber always accompanied him to the end of the alley.

Carl's mind raged, there were two things he suspected. There's a sick man in there, or Amber is the doctor's mistress. Earl, the name flashed instantaneously, what was that man in question? "Carl, if you really want more information, just meet the doctor and give him enough money to keep his mouth shut" said Chris, a friend who doubles as his assistant. For a few days they seemed to be detectives, just watching and receiving information from outside. "That woman is the ex of your sister, while your sister is married. Why else would we dig up information about him?"

Carl clucked and looked at Chris with a dislike face, his mood unstable. "Can you just keep your mouth shut? I pay you only to accompany me, don't talk much."

"I'm just giving you advice. Lower your ego and ask. In a few days you'll start the film adaptation of the novel, prepare yourself, not be a stalker like this" grumbled Chris.

Within an hour, the doctor began to come out of the alley, Amber smiled until at the end of the small alley, the woman was wearing her formal work clothes, her long hair in a horse tie. Even the appearance of Amber is so different from three years ago that is so updated with the latest fashion.

After it was safe and Amber had returned to the house not far from the alley, Carl prepared, wearing a mask and glasses complete with his hat. He got out of the car, ran to cross the street and called the doctor not to get into his car. "Excuse me, may I ask you something?" ask Carl directly to the point. The doctor smiled softly even though he saw the appearance of a confused face so noticeable.

"The woman you were with, is she sick?" now the look on the doctor's face seemed to judge Carl, hesitatingly staring at Carl in focus.

"I'm sorry, I keep every patient's information." Carl clucked, he hates people like this. Difficulty everything he wanted.

"Sean!" yelled Amber behind, making Carl lean back, he pushed his hat down. "You left this paper bag."

"No, Amber. I deliberately bought a toy for Earl, he must have liked it, "the doctor replied gently. Carl dumps his face, trying to keep Amber from recognizing him.

"Oh, no need Sean. You've helped me a lot. Take it, don't be like this" Amber refused.

"I love the Earl, he's a strong boy. Don't refuse my gift, Amber." the man was really gentle and capable of taking women's hearts, but it made Carl sick, he turned around and was about to cross over, and that shitty doctor's word got Carl furious. "Amber, is he your friend? he asked you that."

'Damn' Carl's grunt, everything's fucked up, everything's fucked up,

Amber frowned faintly, she looked at the person Sean meant. This perfume, touch this body, Amber recognizes it. "Carl?!" call Amber sure. "He's my friend" Amber said quickly to Sean.

Sean smiled calmly if Amber recognized the person, there was nothing to worry about if Amber already knew this man. "Then I have to go back to the hospital, take good care of yourself" Sean said. He smiled so gently, these few days his relationship with Amber began to improve as their beginnings were close, not limiting themselves to meeting Earl as well as Amber.

Amber nodded quickly, she smiled widely and it was a forced smile. "Yes, Sean. Thanks again." After hearing the sound of the car driving, Carl felt like growling, Amber approached him. "What are you doing here? W-how did you find me?" ask Amber in shock.

Carl hesitates, the crowded streets make him a little panicked and scared, he can't be sure of the camera and the people who recognize him. He has to make sure everything is safe.

As if to find out, Amber pulls Carl into the alley, she takes Carl's glasses off with a little rough. "Go back to Los Angeles, Carl!"
