Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 38. Stupid Mistake
Adam's breath was thundering. Memories swirling in his brain successfully gouged the old wound. The burning sensation in his chest could no longer be suppressed. With bloodshot eyes, he stared at the name on the computer screen. "Why did you come back when I already managed to forget?" the man thought as he gripped the mouse tighter. "Can't you release me from your shadow?" After taking a deep breath, Adam began to shift the cursor. However, instead of clicking on the delete button, he opened the message. "Dear Adam, Why didn't you reply to my message? Have you erased me from your memory? Or put a new girl in your heart? Can you change the direction of your light already? I know you're disappointed in me. But, I always hope you have forgiven me. I can't stop thinking about you these days. I regret my decision. The days after you were very dim. Is it wrong if I expect you to come back to me? I was so stupid to have thrown
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 39. If You Don't Love Me
Step by step, Amber approached the door. Her heart was pounding and her hands were itching. Nervousness had sharpened her nerve cells. "Adam must be hiding something in there," she thought confidently. A few moments later, she was sitting in front of the computer. After pressing the ON button, she did the investigation directly to the email. It was the only way for Adam communicating with the outside world. But strangely, there were no suspicious messages in the inbox. "Did Adam delete it?" Amber muttered as she checked the bin. The next second, her attention was caught by a name. "Ruby?" In an instant, the photo that was burned by Adam flashed through her mind. “Is that red-haired woman … this woman? Is this Mr. Smith's ex-wife?" Holding her breath, Amber opened the message. As she read word by word, tears gathered to cover the sight. At the last sentence, her chest tightened as if squeezed by a heavy weight. "Is it wrong if I expect you to come back to me?" Amber repeated that
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 40. Bored
“Happy birthday, Amber!” the three women who had just appeared on the screen exclaimed. Receiving such a welcome, Amber immediately laughed. "Thank you, Ladies. I didn't expect you to remember my birthday." "We can't forget. There's Miss Secretary who records everything here,” Katniss replied. "You know what? Mia keeps sending us reminders since two days ago," the woman who was holding a baby boy in her lap continued. "Wow, thank you very much, Mia," Amber sighed with emotion. “No, no. Don't believe them! Katniss and Gaby are overreacting. It was them who reminded me to schedule this call.” While laughing faintly, Amber tilted her head. “Well then, thanks to all of you. I'm really impressed by your concern." “So, how are you, Amber? Looks like you lost a lot of weight,” Gabriella said, holding her son's hand so he wouldn't reach for the phone. "Right. You look pale too,” Katniss continued as she took a closer look at the screen. Knowing the suspicions of her friends, Amber co
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 41. Stop Making Me Worry
Adam was surprised to see the scattered books without the apprentice. Raising an eyebrow, he took the cake he had bought into the kitchen. But apparently, Amber wasn't there either. "Where did that Stupid Woman go?" Adam muttered while putting the box on the dining table. "Is she rummaging through the workroom again?" Wasting no time, the man went to check. He was ready to be angry. That's the most powerful way to neutralize his feelings. However, when he found an empty room, he frowned. "Where is she?" Not finding the woman in the bedroom or bathroom, Adam started calling. "Amber?" After a few seconds, no response was detected. Adam then couldn’t deny. He was really worried. With an irritated face, he checked every window. However, there was not a single light out there. Even the sun had hidden perfectly behind the earth, leaving a blue tinge that would soon turn black. "Could it be that she went to the lake?" Adam muttered while squinting. He hoped to catch the beam of flashlig
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 42. The Impossible Diagnosis
A man in a white coat nodded at the report he had just written. After adding one more note, he looked back at the pale-faced woman slumped on the makeshift bed. “Other than this, are there any more complaints, Miss Lim?” Still with furrowed brows, Amber shook her head weakly. "No." Hearing that answer, the man standing by the curtain suddenly turned around. He had promised himself not to care. However, the conditions weren’t possible yet. The woman was too weak to be left alone. "Yes, Doc. She complained of nausea on the way here. And lately, she goes to the toilet too often," Adam said, completing the description. The doctor's eyebrows spontaneously furrowed. After a brief contemplation, his eyes narrowed at the patient. “I’m sorry, Miss Lim. Can you tell me when your last period was?” Adam and Amber immediately exchanged glances. They were both surprised. Isn't that question usually addressed to pregnant women? Why did the doctor even ask Amber? “Miss Lim? Do you remember when
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 43. Adam's Despair
With stiff gesture, Adam moved closer to the bed. His eyes were shaky. He did not dare to look at his ex. "Hmm, about that ...." "Why did the doctor ask about my last period?" Amber asked impatiently. Not knowing what to say, Adam gulped. Slowly, he lowered his head and started scratching his temple. "The doctor said ...." Grimacing, he searched for a proper explanation. "Am I having a hormonal problem?" The man spontaneously peeked out of the upper corner of his eye. After a moment of silence, he answered in a flat tone. "That's right. The doctor said you’re exhausted and malnourished. That's why your hormones are disrupted." After one faint breath, Amber pulled the blanket off and lowered her feet to the floor. As he worried that she might fall, Adam reflexively grabbed her elbow. "Slowly." Amber stopped her move and furrowed an eyebrow. After narrowing her gaze, she jerked her arm and stood up by herself. "Please don't overdo it. I'm fine. You don't need to feel guilty eithe
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 44. Test Pack
Amber woke up and immediately pushed Adam's shoulder. With eyes dominated by confusion, she searched for an explanation. A moment later, a sigh blew. "Is this the reason you're being nice to me? You want my body?" "No. I just realized that I do love you." Adam tried to grab Amber's shoulder. However, the woman brushed it off. "Liar!" Again, she put on that look—the same expression as when they broke up. "No, Amber. I really have that feeling. I was so stupid to have mixed it up with confusion from the past." Not wanting to believe it, Amber shook her head and unbuckled her seatbelt. "Save that lie for another woman. I won't be fooled again by your persuasion." With an annoyed sigh, she opened the door. "Wait, listen to me!" Adam rushed down and stopped the woman in her track. “I'm not lying. I do love you.” "Get out of the way!" Amber slapped the man's hand and walked faster. Desperate, Adam finally hugged the woman. "Please, believe me. I'm really sorry I broke up with you. I
Don't Eat Me, Mister Cold 45. The Great Fight
Adam already swallowed several times, but the bathroom door had not opened yet. He couldn't wait any longer. His heart wouldn’t be at peace until Amber declared a negative result. The pounding was still erratic even though his lips kept whispering a sedative spell. "The doctor's guess must be wrong. Amber isn’t pregnant. I'm barren. There's no way I can implant a fetus in her womb." Suddenly, the door opened and Amber came out with a look full of hatred. Before Adam could say anything, the test pack in her hand flied to his shoulder. "You claim to be barren, but why is the result like this?" Amber screamed while shedding tears. Her anger was no longer contained. In an instant, Adam's shoulders dropped following the sight. After finding the evidence, his mouth gaped releasing the pressure in his chest. "It’s impossible." With her shaking hands, Amber grabbed the man's collar. "Are you happy? Are you satisfied? Then laugh! My life is ruined, Mister Smith. My plans and dreams …. You
