The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 82 Broken Headlights

From the sound of it, it seemed that even the butler had no clue where Elias might be.

“No. You still haven’t found him? Where could he possibly be when it is raining so heavily

outside?”

“I’m afraid I don’t know. All I know is that Mr. Winters was busy whipping up a feast to

celebrate his birthday. I don’t know why we suddenly can’t reach him. It has been five to

six hours. I’m really worried. that something might have happened to him.”

“Stop thinking negatively. I’m sure he is fine. Maybe he got caught up with something at

the very last minute. I’ll go to the company and check.” That was what Amanda thought.

After all, considering how Elias was always occupied with work, he might have some

business to attend to.

But the butler on the other end of the line explained, “I already called the company earlier.

They said that he is not there. I’m genuinely worried that Mr. Winters had a car accident

on the way. If something did happen right when it was raining so heavily, it would be

difficult for anyone to notice him. Just like what happened to the chairman years ago—”

Boris abruptly stopped mid-sentence when he realized that he had said the wrong thing-

However, Amanda found out something important from Boris words. Was Elias’

father in a car accident?

However, she had no time to worry about things like that now. All she wanted to do was

find Elias as quickly as possible.

“Don’t worry. I’ll go and look for him again while I keep calling him.”

After ending the call, Amanda decided to retrace the route from here to Galaxy Bay. If

something had really happened to Elias’ car halfway, she would surely come across it.

She kept calling, but not once were her calls answered.

The rain that grew heavier poured onto the windshield like a cascade of water, making it

almost impossible to see the road ahead. Fortunately, the Winters Estate was located in a

suburban area, and there weren’t many vehicles on the road.

Amanda deliberately slowed down the car, both for safety reasons and to check if Elias’

car was anywhere along the way.

There was no one in sight on the road she drove. In fact, it would make more sense for

there to be no one who drove in this terrible weather.

Her confidence started to falter when she had almost reached the entrance of the estate

and still hadn’t noticed anything unusual.

Can a person just disappear like this out of the blue? It doesn’t make sense!

And so, she decided to go back to where she came from. I must have missed some places

because of how heavy

the rain is

Amanda turned the car around and started heading back the same way. This time, she

went slower than before as she scanned the surroundings.

At last, she noticed something amiss. She slowly stopped the car and carefully examined a

tree by the side of the road. It seemed to bear signs of impact as there were fallen leaves

and branches scattered on the

ground.

With an umbrella in her hand, she opened the car door and strode toward the tree.

Upon reaching the tree, she touched the fresh scratch marks on its trunk. It was definitely

recent, likely from today.

A wave of uneasiness washed over her. Did he really get into a car accident?

Her anxiety also rose as she looked at the fresh leaves on the ground.

Even if she despised Elias and was against remarrying him, she didn’t want anything bad

to happen to

him.

Amanda held the umbrella and walked into the woods, hoping to find the man’s car, as

finding the car would lead her to him.

Even though she had already prepared for the worst-case scenario, which was that Elias

might truly be in trouble…

The constant pitter-patter she heard from the umbrella above her head sounded like they

were beating against her heart, each drop making her tenser than before.

She spent some time walking deep into the woods, but there was no sign of the car. She

even had to use a flashlight to illuminate the path ahead.

The further she went, the more fearful she became. In truth, she was slightly afraid of the

dark, especially in a deserted forest like this.

Just as Amanda was about to retreat and turn around to leave, she suddenly felt

something under her feet.

Startled, she shone the flashlight on the ground and discovered a shattered car headlight

all over the place.

This means that Elias’ car is nearby!

Amanda swept her flashlight around and searched for his car in the vicinity.

Finally, she spotted a Rolls-Royce on the left, but it was in a horrible state as it had been

overturned. The headlights and bumper were scattered on the ground.

Tears welled up in Amanda’s eyes as she cried and hurriedly approached the scene. Her

heartbeat accelerated with each step.

She couldn’t bear to imagine the condition inside the car right now. What happened to

Elias in the crash… Is he… dead?

She suddenly had an emotional breakdown. As she stared at the overturned vehicle before

her, her steps grew heavy and she hesitated to go closer.

But if Elias was seriously injured, she couldn’t afford to delay getting him to the hospital. It

could cost him

his life.

Amanda rushed forward and shone her flashlight into the car, only to find it empty with

the windows

open.

“Elias, where are you? Elias!”

She turned around and called the man’s name out loud. However, the sound of rain hitting

the leaves drowned her voice, covering it completely.
