Chapter 457
Amanda desperately wanted to tell him everything. Alas, if she revealed the whole truth at
once, she was truly afraid that he wouldn’t be able to handle the shock and would fall into
a coma yet again. If that happened, it would be another round of the waiting game. This
time, she wouldn’t know when he would wake up or if he would even regain his
consciousness,
“I know you don’t believe me either. That’s why I said you should personally investigate
these matters yourself. Don’t believe anyone. Only believe the results of your
investigation.”
By doing so, he would be able to slowly come to terms with the truth through the
investigation. It also had the benefit of putting him at ease with the plus side of
preventing anyone else from massively distorting the truth.
Unfortunately, Elias couldn’t understand where she was coming from. So, all he felt was
annoyance and frustration as he demanded, “Why can’t you just tell me?!”
She hesitated as she thought things through. In the end, she didn’t have the words to
convey the absolute mess their lives were. Besides, she could barely voice the words
herself. How could she possibly tell Elias that Symeon had pretty much kidnapped their
son and was raising Aiden as his own?
Frankly, she wouldn’t be surprised if Elias fainted right on the spot, which would do
absolute wonders for his recovery.
“Because the truth is too cruel. I-I… can’t tell you. You need to investigate this yourself.
Since time isn’t exactly of the essence right now, I’d much rather you take your time
learning the truth of the matter. After all, your injuries haven’t fully healed yet, and you
can’t do anything. in your current state. I don’t want you to take any unnecessary risks.
The safety of both your and our son is paramount! I don’t want to lose any of you!”
Amanda said as tears welled up in her eyes.
7 D Mr Winters Bully You?
Elias stared at her face and suddenly felt a headache coming on. He couldn’t help but
stumble to his seat, supporting his forehead as he endured the piercing pain.
Amanda instinctively wanted to approach him. “Are you okay?”
“Headache… Medicine…”
Medicine?
She panicked and turned around, running out of the study and shouting, “Mr. Jones! Mr.
Jones! Where is the headache medicine? Hurry and bring it here!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe kept calling for Boris. Eventually, Boris heard her and cried from downstairs, “The
headache medicine is in Mr. Winters’ bedroom. I’ll get it right away!”
Then, she looked at the man in the study, who had a pained expression on his face. “Hold
on! The medicine will be here soon! Hang in there!”
After a while, Boris brought the headache medicine. She immediately snatched the bottle
from him, turned around, and dashed to the study. Then, she hastily unscrewed the bottle.
cap and handed two pills to Elias.
He took the pills and gulped them down. After a while, he could feel his headache easing
up.
When he looked up, he instantly noticed Amanda’s worried expression. Although he
couldn’t remember anything, he still felt inclined to believe her words.
“Are
you saying that the child is ours and the paternity test was a fake?”
Amanda nodded, but she didn’t dare to say anything else lest she caused more harm than
good. He started having a headache after exchanging information, so she was genuinely
afraid that he would faint if she said anything else.
“Alright, since you’re being so insistent, I’ll give you a chance. I will personally investigate
this matter. If the truth does not correlate to my findings… I trust you understand what I’m
not saying.”
Elias’ eyes were filled with cruelty. Of course, he wanted to find out the truth. It felt
terrible. not knowing anything about the past. Anyone could easily exploit his weakness
and deceive
him.
Amanda hesitated, nodded, and turned to leave. Suddenly, she remembered something
and turned back. “Why don’t you go to the hospital? Your wounds aren’t healed yet. You’re
still seriously injured. Besides, everyone would be more at ease if you’re being
hospitalized.”
No hospital.” The man emphasized each word, his tone filled with undeniable disgust for
hospitals.
Amanda sighed softly. “Then, take care of yourself. There are still many things you need to
do.”
Elias watched her figure as she walked out of the study and felt a strange emptiness in his
heart. There was a voice in his mind shouting, Don’t let Amanda leave!
Suddenly, his headache returned.
His head would start pounding whenever he tried to think deeply about his lost memories.
Well, he would wait until the truth was revealed before thinking about it.
In the following days, Amanda didn’t dare to disturb Elias. She knew that he needed space
to investigate and digest this new information. Plus, she didn’t want to provoke him than
necessary.
Just then, her phone rang, and it was a call from Yacob.
any more
She answered the phone, saying impatiently, “Why are you calling me when you should be
resting? There’s no point worrying about things other than recuperating. Besides, it’s not
like you can do anything right now.”
“Why are you being so fierce? Did Mr. Winters bully you?”
She didn’t say anything as she worried her bottom lip. Then, she heard Yacob continuing,
“He doesn’t remember anything right now. You should be the bigger person here. You need
to think about your past and think about Aiden! Aiden is our priority right now! You have to
help Mr. Winters regain his memories. Otherwise, I’m afraid Aiden will truly treat that
despicable trash as his father.”
“I know, but he’s seriously injured now. If I provoke him, he will have a headache or even
faint. How can I get him to regain his memories when he’s far from the picture of health?
His wounds haven’t even healed yet, and there are blood clots in his brain. If I tell him
now, he might faint from agitation. Then, who knows when he’ll wake up?! Or, if he boards
a plane. and experiences some air turbulence, the blood clots in his brain might disperse.
In the end, we’ll be back to square one! I can’t do anything right now! What else can I do?
Well? I’m up for ideas!”
Amanda was truly out of wits at this point. It felt as though even the world was against her
as everyone backed her into a corner, forcing her away from her loved ones.
Yacob fell silent after hearing her. It was clear that he had no solution for the conundrum.
they were facing right now.
After a while, he said, “Although I can’t do anything now, I can move around. Somewhat. It
plan to infiltrate Lawrence Estate and protect Aiden.”
“You? Symeon knows what you look like. There’s no possible way you’re going to succeed
in that fruitless endeavor. Also, do I need to remind you that your legs are broken? How
can you protect Aiden when you can’t even move without a wheelchair?”
“Perhaps you’ve forgotten about disguise techniques. And… are you telling me Lawrence
Estate discriminates against the disabled? How scandalous! Don’t you think I can get
myself. hired as a gardener?”
Amanda had nothing to say to that. So, she sighed in resignation. “Just be careful. No one
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwill be able to save you if you’re discovered.”
“Don’t worry. I’m not that useless. I’ll call you once my mission succeeds.”
Then, he hung up the phone after that. Eventually, Amanda rose to her feet and walked
into the bathroom, preparing to freshen up and have a meal.
If Yacob could infiltrate Lawrence Estate to take care of Aiden… Well, she would feel much.
more at ease.
Her phone rang once more after she was done with her morning routine. She picked it up
and saw the caller ID display-“Husband.” Was it a call from Elias? He actually took the
initiative to call her? This was unbelievable.
She answered the phone, but the voice on the other end dashed all her hopes.
“Miss Bailey, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip to the company. This is Mr.
Winters’ request.”
“Oh… I see…”
She thought Elias was calling her. So, she couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.
Nonetheless, she changed into an appropriate outfit before taking her bag and headed off
to Winters Enterprise to see what was happening.
Amanda went directly to the legal department the moment she arrived at Winters.
Enterprise, assuming that some legal issues needed her consultation.
Alas, as soon as she made her way to the elevator, the elevator doors slid open, and Elias”
assistant walked out. “Miss Bailey, you’ve finally arrived. Come with me to the conference
room.”
She entered the elevator, looking utterly puzzled. “The conference room? Not the legal
department?”
“Mr. Winters is meeting with clients in the conference room. He wants you to listen in. I
don’t know what his intentions are. You’ll have to hear it from Mr. Winters himself.”
She nodded and didn’t ask further questions as she quietly followed the assistant to the
conference room.
Her eyes immediately fell on the man in a suit sitting at the conference table. It was
evident that he was busy conversing with his clients.
The assistant led her to sit quietly behind the man. She stared at his proud back, waiting
to be called on for her legal advice.
Yet, what surprised her was that throughout the whole process, the man didn’t call her
even once. She was truly just there to listen. Honestly, she didn’t know what Elias was
planning.
