Chapter 4My Wife Has A Second Family

Amber was still attentive as always. The first thing she did when she got home was to kiss me out of habit.

Then, she went into the kitchen to cook. She even remembered to add half a spoonful of honey to my water.

But I knew her too well. I could see the anxiety beneath her small gestures.

What was she anxious about?

I guessed that something must have happened with Cyrus.

Before I could figure it out, I soon felt drowsy and drifted off to sleep.

I was still sort of conscious, but my body would not move.

I could hear someone murmuring.

“Are you sure this is okay? What if he wakes up and figures it out?”

“He’s not going to find out.”

“It’s just 400cc. By the time the sleeping pills wear off, he won’t even know he was out.”

Cyrus’ voice softened and he said emotionally, “You’re so good to me.”

Amber chuckled and pinched his cheek.

“You’re my husband, silly. Who else am I supposed to take care of if not you?”

“It’s all my fault. I got so carried away thinking about you carrying my baby that I wasn’t paying attention. I fell down the stairs, and he had to end up giving me a transfusion.

“From now on, I just want to be with you and our child. I really hope nothing like this happens again. You know how hard it is to find blood for my type.”

After a couple of seconds, Amber said, “Isn’t that what he’s here for? You two have the same blood type. I’m not going to let anything happen to you.”

No one noticed, but tears streamed down from the corner of my eyes.

A year ago, Amber had made Cyrus my living blood donor because she was worried about me.

A year later, I had become his living blood donor.

It was ironic.

When I woke up again, I was lying in the bedroom.

If not for the needle mark on the back of my hand, I might have thought everything from the previous night was just a dream.

I rubbed my dry eyes. There were no tears left to cry.

Maybe out of guilt, Amber took me to an auction event that evening.

She bid on items worth hundreds of millions of dollars without a second thought and gave them all to me.

Everyone present was envious.

“I’ve always heard that Ms. Sherry spoils her husband rotten. Today, I finally got to see it for myself.”

“Right? Most people drop a few thousand dollars, but she just dropped a few hundred million dollars tonight just to make her husband smile.”

“I really envy her husband...”

I heard all the envious chatter, but I felt only indifference.

After the auction, there was also a charity event.

That was where I saw Cyrus.

Amber explained with a completely calm expression, “He’s the new assistant the company just hired.”

I nodded and did not say anything more. I simply pretended I had not recognized him.

After that, no matter where we went, Cyrus stayed right by Amber’s side.

He stood on one side of her, and I stood on the other.

Some people who had never met me even mistook him for her husband.

Cyrus quickly waved his hands and denied it.

“No, no! I’m just Ms. Sherry’s assistant.”

After saying that, he shot a nervous glance at me.

I forced a bitter smile and walked away.

“I’m going to the restroom.”

When I came out, I saw the two of them standing together.

Amber was smiling sweetly, and Cyrus was bright and enthusiastic. They really did look like a perfect match.

I did not walk over. Instead, I just turned and headed out.

However, Cyrus caught up with me quickly.

“Sir, please don’t misunderstand. I’ve just never been to an event like this before, so I begged Ms. Sherry to let me come.

“I’m so sorry if I caused any problems. I really am.

“I hope you’re not upset with Ms. Sherry. It’s not her fault.”

As Cyrus spoke, he lost his balance and fell right into me.

Behind me was a staircase stretching dozens of feet down.

Amber swiftly rushed over.

I instinctively reached out to grab her. However, Amber pulled Cyrus into her arms instead.

My hand only managed to brush against the edge of her clothes. She did not even look at me.

She was obviously worried about Cyrus.

The weightlessness came. Tears blurred my eyes as I fell.

I tumbled down the long staircase. The pain was overwhelming as I lay in a pool of blood.
