Chapter 105 Blacklisted

Suddenly, Amanda remembered Simon’s proposal of a “marriage without love, and

thought that it Inight be a good idea. She had always pursued so-called love, but it had

only left her battered and bruised. Perhaps, it was better to try a marriage without love. A

loveless marriage should be much more comfortable. She wouldn’t have to care so much

or feel so exhausted.

Amanda stared at Simon for a long time. Under her gaze, he felt puzzled. “Why are you

staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?”

“Simon, does your proposition of a marriage without love still stand? Do you still want it?”

she asked. As she was met with endless silence, she thought that he was going to refuse.

She withdrew her gaze and smiled, saying. “Forget it, let’s just pretend I didn’t say

anything”

Some things were just like that. Once an opportunity was missed, there would be no

second chance again. Moreover, Simon was so outstanding and handsome, so he

deserved a better

woman.

Suddenly, he spoke up. “Of course, it still stands, but have you thought it through? If you

really agree to it, you can’t go back on your word. Otherwise, I don’t know what I might

do. I’m also a man; I also have my own brand of possessiveness and desire to win.”

Amanda looked up at the man’s eyes with a blank expression. She didn’t know if her

decision was right or wrong. However, Elias had disappointed her so much today, and she

didn’t want to have anything to do with him anymore.

She had to find a man quickly to end her single life; otherwise, Elias would never give up

on her. Even if she escaped abroad. Elias would surely find her.

“Well, then… Let me think about it,” she hesitated. In truth, she hadn’t made up her mind.

She just wanted to escape from her current predicament as soon as possible.

Seeing Amanda’s indecisive expression, Simon didn’t say anything more. He sat with her

for a while and said, “Let me take you back. Your face looks better now, and Aiden

probably won’t be able to tell.”

“I can manage on my own. Aren’t you attending a banquet tonight? Don’t worry about me.

I can handle it myself,” Amanda replied. She didn’t want to waste any more of Simon’s

time as she had already wasted enough.

Simon didn’t insist anymore. “All right then, if you need anything, call me. Don’t struggle

on your own. Remember, you still have Aiden, so you have to stay positive.”

“What are you talking about? Why would I not stay positive? I was just in a bad mood for a

moment. I’m fine now.” She couldn’t help but laugh. Did Simon think she would become so

depressed that she would contemplate suicide?

“Alright then. After you’ve arrived home, send me a message so that I’ll know you’re safe.”

“Okay,”

Simon pushed open the car door and got out, watching her drive away before sighing

deeply.

“Did I say too much to you just now? You finally agreed, so why did I end up scaring you

away?”

At that moment, Simon’s phone rang. It was a call from his ex-girlfriend, Lunabelle. Since

Lunabelle found out that he wasn’t married, she aggressively pursued him, hoping to

rekindle their past relationship. Despite her efforts, some things were meant to be left in

the past and couldn’t be brought back.

Simon hesitated for a few seconds before answering the call. Lunabelle’s voice sounded

from the other end. “Simon, can we have dinner together tonight? Your mother’s birthday

is coming up. and I bought her a gift. Can you give it to her?”

“Sure. You decide the time and place.”

After some emergency treatment at the hospital, Elias was taken to a hospital room. He

slept for four hours and gradually regained consciousness. The first person he saw when

he opened his eyes was his grandfather, followed by Grace, who had a worried look on her

face, and his mother.

He didn’t expect so many people to be gathered around his hospital bed, but the one

person he wanted to see the most was conspicuously absent.

“Elias, you’re awake! Are you okay?” Grace was the first to speak with tears shimmering in

her

eyes.

Howard couldn’t hold back his tears either. “You disobedient boy! I told you to rest at

home, but you were running around everywhere. Look at you; you’re coughing up blood!

Do you really not care about your life? Do you want our Winters Family to end with you?

You unruly brat!”

Jennifer grabbed Elias’ hand, crying, “Elias, take care of yourself. How could you be so

reckless? I can’t live without you…”

With all the crying voices around him, Elias felt a headache coming on. He didn’t want to

say a word; he just wanted to rest quietly for a while. It would be better to close his eyes

and pretend to sleep because at least he could have some peace and quiet.

Grace broke down in tears in front of his hospital bed. “Elias, I’m sorry. It’s all because of

me that you ended up like this…. I’m so sorry…”

She knew that Elias had gone to settle the score with Amanda, but she didn’t expect it to

turn out like this… Did Amanda make Elias cough up blood? Were they completely at odds

with each other now?

Looking at Elias” current state, it was evident that they had a big fight and an

irreconcilable misunderstanding had arisen between them.

He felt annoyed, so, in a voice low and hoarse, he growled, “Everyone, leave. I want some

peace and quiet.”

“Okay, sure; we’ll leave. Rest well. The doctor said you mustn’t get agitated. Your internal

injuries from the car accident haven’t healed yet. You have to stay in the hospital and

cooperate with the treatment. Elias, please, don’t push your body to the limit again,

Jennifer cried, turning into a sobbing mess. However, she didn’t want to disturb her son’s

rest, so she covered her mouth and left the hospital ward.

Howard also added, “Rest well. If there’s anything wrong, call someone. Don’t get angry

again, and don’t run around recklessly. Otherwise, we’ll tie you to the bed this time!”

Elias had suffered quite serious injuries in the car accident, and if he didn’t receive proper

care and rest, there might be long-term consequences.

After everyone left the hospital ward, Grace was the only one left. She didn’t want to

leave. “Elias, can I stay here with you? I won’t say anything; I’ll just stay quiet…”

“Leave, please.” The man closed his eyes and seemed unwilling to talk.

She had no choice but to stand up and wipe away her tears. “If you need anything, make

sure to call us. Get some good rest. Reluctantly, she left the hospital ward and closed the

door.

Once everyone had left the room, Elias struggled to sit up. He leaned against the bed,

looking at the night sky outside the window. Looked like it was already dark….

His memory went back to before he lost consciousness. He remembered slapping Amanda

across the face as well as Amanda running away in tears. After that, he didn’t remember

anything.

There was a tinge of heartache in his pitch-black eyes as he picked up his phone and

dialed Amanda’s number, but he couldn’t get through no matter how many times he tried.

Elias’ handsome face tightened as he realized that he had most likely been blacklisted by

Amanda this time. He threw off the blanket and tried to get off the bed. Right now, he

wanted to look for her to explain himself, but as soon as he got out of bed, he couldn’t

help but cough up blood again.
