He stopped in the middle of the ward. His face softened, as he let out a sigh, “Amber,” he said, “I didn’t mean for things to go this far.”
I laughed bitterly. “You killed my mother. You almost killed my sister. That’s your idea of not going too far?”
He rubbed his forehead. “You pushed me. You made me snap. I tried to be nice, but you hurt Chloe. You made her lose our baby. And then you kidnapped Julius… I lost control. What did you expect me to do?”
I ignored him and looked away but he kept talking.
“I know how much you love me, Amber, and I know you acted out of jealousy now. It’s alright, I forgive you.”
The audacity of this asshole to think everything is about him!
“I’ll give your mother a befitting burial. I’m arranging the best brain surgeon for Jane. She’ll recover and everything will be fine.”
“I care for you, Amber,” Jason continued, stepping closer. “I know you love me and you don't want us to be apart. That's why you fought your family years ago to be with me which is why I want us to live in peace. You can even look after Julius like he’s your son.”
My stomach churned but I swallowed the bile rising in my throat and forced a small nod.
