235 An Investment? Or Assurance?

"Settling some stuffs. I just received the calls I had been waiting for so I have to speak with them with every detail if not then everything would be for a naught," she answered.

(Flashback)

"Aren't you too much? How long did you think did I have to listen to all my grandfather's preaching and interrogation just for him to approve of your plan," Blake complained when Amber answered the phone.

Amber laughed, "Come on now, you seemed to have enjoyed it though. You sound like you had some fun."

"Fun?!? If you can just see my face right now you wouldn't say that about me," Brian complained.

"Anyway, enough with you," Amber finally said.

"Enou- Enough about me?" Brian was completely flabbergasted, he had millions of complains but she just said enough of him??

"Shhh, just tell me how it went. Don't give me too much details just tell me how he accepted it," Amber hushed him knowing he was to complain even more.

Brian grumbled under his breath, he was older but she was his boss.

"Well he accepted it but he has his own condition," he finally said after a while.

"Oh, what might it be?" she asked with a smile.

"He wants SNN to become the partner of his company."

Amber raised an eyebrow, 'An investment? Or assurance?'

"I think it is because he can see the potential of SNN that's why he wanted this condition. He said that since you are close to the higher ups of SNN, maybe you could negotiate about it. Then he will gladly offer such agreement to Price hospitals."

Amber chuckled, "Close to the higher ups I see. Is that how I look like from the outside?"

'No, because no one knows it was you behind SNN. Actually no one knows that there is someone else behind Leslie. And by the way, it was only my grandfather who thinks about this.'

"Geez just how many old geezers are going to make me take in their grand sons?" Amber suddenly said which piqued Brian's interest.

"Did someone enter SNN? Another grandfather called you? I haven't heard of it though." Brian asked.

He was after all just like that. He left their company to enter SNN.

"No, it was in a different circumstances," Amber replied.

'He was literally sent over by his own grandfather to work under me,' she added in her mind.

"Anyway, thank you very much for everything and for settling this one in the fastest way," Amber then said sincerely.

Despite being rude towards them, she was grateful for all of their help.

Brian chuckled, "Anytime."

She was indeed rude with words but he can feel just how sincere she was in thanking him.

(End Of Flashback)

"What plan have you done this time?" Timothy asked.

Even now she haven't completely explained just which part of her plan she currently is.

Gideon couldn't help but to see a silhouette of Nathan sitting right there with her.

He had this ability, exuding authority that outshines everyone in the room.

At the same time, Cathrine couldn't help but see Sarah, she always have the ability to attract people towards her and willingly help her.

"She really is their child. The eldest have taken more to their father while the second was more like Sarah but this one has the traits of the two of them," she commented.

Gideon nodded in agreement, "They really left three wonderful children in this world."

"This one? The eldest? Second? Is there some kind of a mystery around here?" James, who was still there, asked them upon hearing their conversation.

Amber heard his question and just looked at Gideon with a shake of her head, 'Don't tell him anything yet. Allow us to come to him.'

"Hmmm? There really is none, what do you think?" Gideon asked in return.

James just rolled his eyes on him and decided not to ask any longer. It was not in his place anyway.

"We should go and check on him," Amber then said to Timothy.

"She's fine, it is fine for you to breath and blink. She wouldn't disappear from your sight," Amber said upon entering.

Xader was holding Samantha's hand and was looking at her intently.

Timothy walked over and placed a hand on his shoulder, he can feel that Xander was trembling.

"I never thought I would be this scared. I have witnessed much more intense scenes of pregnancy cases and have seen others even bleeding. But Sam was in complete pain, she was bleeding but she was in pain," Xander spoke upon feeling his siblings beside him.

Timothy and Amber could only look at one another.

"Then I thought about when I was insisting of going with you during some fights and thought what if something like this happened while I was away?"

He looked up to them and his eyes were red, "It scared the hell out of me."

Amber placed a hand on his other shoulder but she didn't speak.

The two of them just stood there letting him know that they are there.

What happened to Samantha was not too big but this was the first time for the three of them to see.

"I'll do it Nathalie," Xander once again said.

"I'll work hard and be a better doctor at every possible aspect, I'll wait for all of you whenever you go out. I'll help tend to every wound you all have if there are any. I'll remain here waiting," he added as he held Samantha's hand tighter.

Amber just nodded but didn't say anything.

"Don't worry it is not like we are Ash who was fighting in the underworld where we have to fight with guns all the time. There are times where we would only need our brains."

Finally another ten minutes of just standing there, Amber spoke up and assured him. Xander chuckled, that's right their revenge is not always about gun fights and all.

"Gonna watch her till morning?" Timothy asked him.

"I don't want to leave her side until she wakes up," Xander nodded.

"Then why don't you just lie down beside her, I think that would put her more at ease than you plainly watching her from the side," Amber suggested.

"The other two looked at her.

"What's with that look? I am a woman of course there are moments where we wanted to know that you are beside us not just standing on the side watching over us. Well these are during special circumstances and I think that this is so for Samantha," she then explained.

"I understand. But what happened?" he finally asked.

"Carla," Amber answered, there's no need for explanation.

Anger erupted inside Xander as he abruptly stood up, "What has Samantha did for her to actually cause this damage?"

"Calm down, I have already did damage to her as well. An eye for an eye, that has been my motto. But that doesn't mean I would stop here. They would surely do something for the Wright once again and I won't let them do as they please," Amber pushed him back to his seat as she said this.

"But why? What did Sam do to her?" Xander still asked.

"There are people who would be offended at the smallest thing despite them starting it. We don't need reasons for them to do what they are doing. For now we truly are lucky that nothing major happened. Calm yourself with that."

"How can I calm down, it could have been the life of my child or that of both of them!!"

"I know but what can you do now? Your going to barge in there and what? Get back at a woman who didn't even know that the one she pushed was pregnant? I already told you I got back at her," Amber remained holding his shoulder.

"As if she didn't know, she must have known and did it on purpose," Xander said in gritted teeth.

Amber sighed, she knew this would happen that is why she didn't want him to know at first in order for him to concentrate at Samantha instead of his anger.

"Look Xander, we are at Ceres country. We have no power here or whatsoever. They are a major holder in Wright Empire, which means that they have more power than we have. At the same time we are but disposable pawns in our own Empire," Timothy finally butted in.

"For now listen to Nathalie, we would surely get back at them but in a different way. We should really just be grateful that both mother and child are safe."

Xander sighed heavily, both of them were right. 

He could only clench his hands into a fist, they were that powerless, their family names are of no use. They were just some disposable pawns.

Amber looked at him intently before sighing, "Fine, I told you I have preparations for this but I need you and Samantha to do something for me."
