Chapter 89 Have You Ever Lied to Me?

“It’s still okay since it’s not that late. I just wanted to visit you because I’m afraid you

might be lonely” Grace placed the thermal flask beside her and ladled out a small bowl of

porridge, intending to feed Elias.

“Elias, I’ve already checked with the doctor. The 24-hour observation period is over so you

can have some plain porridge to replenish your energy. You haven’t eaten for an entire

day” She took a spoonful of porridge and blew at it gently before moving it toward his

mouth.

However, he turned away slightly and took the bowl from her. “I can do it myself.”

She froze awkwardly before eventually handing the bowl over to him.

The atmosphere felt oppressive as Elias silently ate his porridge, completely absorbed in

wondering who had lied between Amanda and Grace.

He stared at the woman before him. He had always considered her to be a weak girl who

needed protection from others, cried easily, and was frail enough to be knocked down by a

gust of wind. That was probably why Yelan had asked him to help take care of her.

Grace noticed the strange look he was directing her way and smiled slightly. “Why are you

looking at me like that? Don’t you recognize me anymore?”

Elias put his bowl to one side and wiped his mouth with a paper napkin. Even though he

was covered in injuries and clad in a hospital gown given to all hospital patients, he still

carried a strong aura that made others feel threatened.

“Have you ever lied to me?” he suddenly asked sternly.

Grace’s heart skipped a beat. She was frozen to the spot for a long while, not knowing how

to respond.

After some time, she laughed in order to conceal her anxiety. “Why are you saying that?

Why would I ever lie to you? I have never done that.”

Meanwhile, she was panicking internally while wondering why he had asked that question.

Does he know something?

Elias kept staring at her while observing the minute changes in her expression, refusing to

miss even the tiniest detail. “That’s good. Just answer one question from me honestly.

Don’t hide anything.

“Fine. Ask away. I will answer honestly with the best of my knowledge.” Grace appeared

calm on the surface but was panicking inside since she didn’t know what he actually knew.

He spoke carefully. “Do you remember the celebratory party in Flimwood four years ago?”

There was a flash of puzzlement in her eyes as she wondered why he was suddenly asking

this and what he wanted. Her heart sped up involuntarily.

Has he found out something?

Swallowing hard, she replied, “Of course. What is it? It was my first time, so I will never

forget it.”

Elias asked once more, “I was drunk rotten and couldn’t remember what happened, only

discovering you

were beside me after I woke up. I just want to know whether I really did sleep with you

that night since I can’t remember anything.”

So, he is really investigating that night.

Grace’s breathing became uneven as her mind raced, wondering what she could say in

order to avoid suspicion, though she maintained a submissive demeanor. “Elias, do you

think I’m lying to you? Do you think a girl would ever joke around about this? Plus, you

saw the blood on the sheets as well. That proves

it.”

“It may have been left behind by someone else. I didn’t see you when I returned but saw

you after waking up, so I’m just wondering about how you managed to come in. After all, I

was too drunk back then and couldn’t possibly open the door for you.” He kept studying

her eyes and expression in search of clues. After all, the hotel footage from four years ago

couldn’t be found anymore. If he had been able to check it, the truth would have been

revealed.

Grace was feeling frantic now. Elias had believed her after waking up to see her as well as

the bloodstain on the bed without looking too much into it. Why was he investigating it so

earnestly after four years had passed?

She had been hiding in the hotel the night of the party, looking for a chance to approach

him. he shone as brilliantly as the sun all night and she couldn’t get near him at all.

She had wanted to find a chance to knock on the door and confess her feelings to him

afterwar couldn’t find the courage. However. Amanda had received the news of her

mother being severel early hours of the morning and left so hurriedly that she didn’t close

the door properly.

Grace had gone toward it and become brave enough to knock, yet she had found the door

unlatche as such sneaked inside. She had burst into enraged tears after finding the mess

on the bed, the smell o alcohol in the room, and the bright bloodstain.

However, an evil thought had appeared inside her mind too. If she lay on the bed while

half-dressed, then Elias would mistake her for the woman he had slept with. That had been

her intention and she carried it out daringly, allowing her to successfully close the

distance between them and become the person he held

dear.

As she returned to the present moment and watched how closely he was observing him,

she bit her lip hard. Her tears began to fall in the next instant, making her look pitiful.

“Elias, I know that you don’t like me, but you don’t have to use this to shame me. No girl

would ever take her first time as a joke! Do you suspect that nothing happened between

us that night and I have been lying to you? Fine, just continue thinking that if that makes

you feel better. I acted of my own volition that night and don’t regret it!”

Grace then turned and left the room in tears, looking as if she bore the blame from the

entire world. Her acting was truly skilled.

Elias frowned deeply while watching the closed door. Grace’s act of dejectedness was

enough to trick any man, including a rigid man like him.

He felt his head hurt more intensely. Grace had said her piece, so was Amanda the one

who lied? It was impossible since Amanda hadn’t looked like she was. However, he

couldn’t find any flaws which revealed. that Grace was lying. So, which one of them should

he believe?

Frankly, Elias was more inclined to believe Amanda. It had been four years, so she didn’t

have to lie to him anymore. After all, she hadn’t troubled him tirelessly even once upon

returning after four instead. she avoided him and distanced herself from him.

Thump!

years.

He knocked over the thermal flask beside him, causing the porridge to spill all over the

floor.

His head hurt so badly and was filled with way too many thoughts. He had to find out

exactly what happened the night of the party-it was extremely important to him.
