Chapter 407 Please… Don’t Do This

Yacob clenched his fists, unsure of how to answer the question because he didn’t know

when Elias could

come out.

Amanda stood there, staring at the sign of the operating room with tears streaming down

her cheeks and splattering onto the ground. It was like her shattered heart which was in

unbearable pain.

“You have to wake up. Please. Do you hear me…

Amanda pleaded tearfully at the door of the operating room oblivious to the pain of her

tightly clenched. fists as her nails dug deep into her palms.

She wondered if Elias had felt any pain from losing so much blood.

Suddenly, the lights in the operating room went out, and both Amanda and Yacob were

startled and waited eagerly for the door to open.

Finally, a doctor walked out from inside and Amanda immediately went up to ask, “How is

it? How did he do?”

Yacob followed suit, “Doctor, how is Mr. Winters? Is he alive?”

The doctor took off his mask and shook his head weakly.

That action chilled Amanda to the core as she felt weak in her knees, but Yacob held her

up.

“Can’t you say something? What exactly happened?” Amanda finally broke down and

shouted angrily at the doctor.

Her shouts echoed in the quiet hallways making her despair and helplessness even more

pronounced. The doctor was startled by her angry shout but remained calm and

answered, “He has regained signs of life, but although his life has been saved, the injuries

are too severe. So, we can’t give an accurate time frame for when he will wake up.”

Then, the doctor turned around and left.

Amanda stood still as tears streamed down her face one drop after another like pearls on

a broken string.

After a while, the doors of the operating room opened, and the medical staff pushed the

hospital bed out.

Amanda was the first to walk over and cried out, “Elias, wake up. Look at me, please… I

beg you….”

“Mrs. Winters, please keep quiet. This is a hospital. Please calm down…”

But Amanda couldn’t control her tears no matter how the medical staff tried to persuade

her.

When Amanda saw Elias, she felt like her heart was being torn apart and it hurt too much.

His body was covered in medical equipment and his face was pallid under the oxygen

mask as if he had no life left.

Amanda wanted to rush over and touch his face but was stopped by Yacob. “Please calm

down. Mr. Winters is going to the ICU.”

“I want to go in and see him…” Amanda despairingly knelt on the floor, covering her

mouth as she cried

out.

She knew that she needed to be stronger in this tough time because there were many

responsibilities she had to take on, but she couldn’t take it anymore seeing Elias like that.

Inside the Intensive Care Unit, the doctor allowed Amanda to enter for a short while

wearing protective clothing after Yacob’s repeated requests.

She stood in front of the bed looking at the unconscious man while listening to the

beeping sounds of the monitoring devices and felt like her world was collapsing.

“Elias… please wake up. I beg you… You promised me that you would be fine…”

He had promised her before he left, so why did it turn out like this?

She had felt uneasy at that time and should have stopped him when she had the chance.

With trembling hands, Amanda held his hand and pleaded repeatedly, “Please, wake up

soon. Aiden and I can’t lose you. We both need you…”

However, Elias remained motionless on the hospital bed as if he didn’t hear her at all.

Tears poured down Amanda’s face as she sobbed, “Have you fulfilled your responsibilities

as a father? You’ve just reunited with Aiden and you’re just going to abandon him like this?

Elias Winters! Wake up, please. I’d do anything for you to wake up…”

Outside the Intensive Care Unit, Yacob watched the scene with guilt. It was his fault for not

protecting Elias, otherwise, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.

The Winters were relying solely on Elias to manage them. Now, the entire family could fall

Those who had long wanted to seize power were probably already itching to make their

move.

After a while, Amanda exited the room with tears still flowing uncontrollably.

However, Yacob said, “Mr. Winters is still unconscious, but we must take action on his

behalf. We can’t let news of his car accident leak out, otherwise, those people in the family

will definitely try to seize power.”

Amanda closed her eyes with a nod and said hoarsely, I know.”

She was really tired and mentally exhausted.

The next two days, she stayed in the hospital and never left even just for a moment, but

Elias showed no signs of waking up.

During this time, many people from the family called to ask about Elias’ whereabouts. To

Enterprise were also looking for Elias every day, but all she and Yacob could do was come

up with excuses.

Elias was the sole decision-maker for all major projects in Winters Enterprise. Yet, he was

unavailable.

He was now out of danger and had been transferred to a regular ward, yet he still refused

to wake “Aiden has been looking for you. You should go back and spend time with him,”

Yacob said as he approached Amanda from behind.

Amanda was in a low mood. Even if she went home, she couldn’t hide her strained face

from Aiden.

So, she shook her head, “You can go back. Just tell Aiden that I’m on a business trip with

Elias.”

“But this can’t go on. He needs someone to be with him and Aiden relies on you a lot,”

Yacob said truthfully.

Amanda didn’t say anything and just sat in front of the hospital bed, staring at the man in

a deep sleep. How she wished she could see Elias open his eyes in the next second.

Seeing Amanda in such a lost state, Yacob sighed softly and turned to leave the ward.

“When are you going to wake up… I know I’m tired, but you’ve been sleeping for days.”

No matter what she said, the man on the hospital bed remained motionless. In a series of

sighs, Amanda gradually sank into despair. She was really reaching her limit.

At the Winters Estate, Yacob had returned and was giving Boris some instructions before

going to see Aiden.

Without Amanda and Elias at home these past few days, Aiden had become much quieter.

He was unhappy since he couldn’t even go to kindergarten, so he could only cause trouble

around the estate.

“Mr. Aiden has been irritable these past few days. He’s been saying that he wants to see

his parents, but Mrs. Winters and Mr. Winters can’t come back,” Boris said.
