Chapter 88 Amanda’s Anger

Elias narrowed his eyes slightly. He might not have known what Amanda had said, but he

sensed that it was extremely important.

“Really? Don’t lie to me.”

I’m not. The situation was so urgent, and I was in a mess, plus you were bleeding so much.

I was afraid that you might faint again which would make you lose a lot of blood, so I had

to think of a way to keep you awake all the way to the hospital.”

She tried hard to maintain a sincere expression, but he still looked suspicious, so she

changed the subject instead. “Oh, where’s Grandpa? He stayed here the entire night,

insisting on watching you wake up. Why has he left?”

“I don’t know.” Elias refused to say that his grandfather had gone off to see a fortune teller

again.

Amanda looked at her watch. “Rest well, then. I have to go to work. I’m nearly one hour

late already.”

She was about to get up when he caught her wrist, and she turned to glance at his hand.

“What? Do you want anything else? Just call Yacob since he’s been waiting outside the

entire time. You should give him a pay raise since he’s so loyal to you.”

Elias stared at her for a long while as if hesitating

“Are you going to say anything? If there’s nothing. I have to go to the law firm since I’m

running very late.” Amanda was about to remove her hand, but he held it tighter.

There was a conflicted look in Elias’ eyes before he eventually spoke. “I just wanted to

check something with you. I hope that you will answer honestly,”

It might not have been so important to him anymore, but he had always been curious.

Amanda’s curiosity was piqued as well and she looked confused. “What is it?”

He considered it again, knowing that she would get angry if he mentioned it, though he

really wanted to know about it. “I just want to know something. When did we…. sleep

together four years ago? When was that child conceived?”

Elias had always been curious about this. While the child was already lost, he had

continued to ponder it. numerous times but couldn’t recall when he had slept with

Amanda and allowed her to successfully

conceive.

Sure enough, she became furious and slapped his hand away. “Do you still not believe

what I said four years ago? Stop asking then!”

She turned and left the hospital room in a rage, slamming the door violently behind her,

which caused a loud bang.

Elias lay against the bed, becoming immersed in his thoughts. The room was deathly

silent and felt even colder than the morgue.

His memory returned to the night of the celebratory party four years ago, which was when

Amanda had

repeatedly insisted it had happened, However, the party had been held outside Imperia

and she hadn’t gone there with him at all. Plus, he had gotten extremely drunk after being

coaxed into drinking. By the time he woke up the next morning, he found that it was Grace

who was lying beside him while half- dressed. The most terrifying thing had been the

splotch of virgin blood on the pure white sheets.

Amanda, however, had claimed that she was the one who had fallen into bed with him.

Whom should I believe? One of them has to be lying. If Amanda really had aborted a child,

then Grace is lying.

But how can I explain what had happened that night? I did not see Amanda when I woke

up, just Grace. Besides, Amanda was already home when I returned to Imperia. What

exactly happened?

Elias felt a sudden yet intense headache coming on and he shouted angrily while holding

his forehead, “Yacob! Get in here!”

Yacob, who had been waiting outside, immediately came in with a solemn expression. “Mr.

Winters, how can I help?”

“Can we still get the hotel footage from the celebratory party in Flimwood four years

ago?” Elias knew that it would be difficult, but he really wanted to know what had

happened that night and whether Amanda had shown up or not.

Yacob was stunned for about three seconds before he uttered. “T-that may be impossible.

It has been four years, plus the hotel would only store it for one to three months before

replacing it with new footage-”

“Bullsh*t! Of course, I know that! Never mind. Just pretend I never asked. Elias lay on the

bed, feeling his head throb painfully as he replayed the night of the party inside his mind.

He had been so drunk that he didn’t even know how he had gotten back to the hotel,

never mind. remembering what had happened that night. Was there a possibility that

Amanda was the one he had actually slept with that night? But why had it been Grace who

had lay beside him while half-dressed?

Elias’ head hurt the more he thought about it. Coupled with the concussion he had

suffered due to the accident, he felt like his head was about to explode.

“Mr. Winters, are you okay? I’ll call the doctor!” Yacob turned away to summon the doctor

when he saw how much pain Elias was in.

“Come back! I want to ask you something else!”

“What is it?” Yacob was surprised, not understanding why Elias was suddenly so invested

in what had happened four years ago.

Elias covered the wound on his forehead and asked seriously while suppressing his pain,

“Who was the one that helped me back to the hotel? Were you there at the time? Did you

see Amanda go inside my room that night?”

The string of questions confused Yacob momentarily as he began to recall the party four

years ago. After at while, he said, “Mr. Winters, I was on leave that day and someone else

took my place, so I’m not so sure.”

Elias was flabbergasted and glared at Yacob coldly, sounding annoyed as he growled, “Get

out!”

“Yes, sir!” Yacob had no choice but to retreat outside the room again in puzzlement, not

knowing what had happened. After all, he really hadn’t been there at the party since he

had accompanied Howard to a forum that day.

The ward was quiet until nightfall, with no other visitors besides the doctors doing their

rounds and the nurses applying medication.

Elias had been waiting for Amanda to show up, not expecting her to be so cruel. As a

result, he felt gloomy and filled with emotions that had nowhere to go. He desperately

wished he could fly to Flimwood right now to look into the momentous night four years

ago, but he was confined to the bed and couldn’t move.

Suddenly, footsteps that belonged to a woman sounded outside the room. His eyes

brightened slightly as he stared at the door, eagerly waiting for it to open. As the door was

pushed open with a creak, Elias’ eyes dimmed again. It was none other than Grace.

“Elias, I have come to see you again. Do you feel better?” She had brought along some

plain porridge this

time.

“It’s too late. You should go home and rest. Elias’ tone was freezing.

She couldn’t take the sudden change in attitude. Before this, he would have been gentler

toward her even though he had been faking it, but now it seemed like he had completely

dropped the pretense.
