The Barrister's Love in Town

“Yeah, Yacob never misses a phone call. There must be something going on over there,

but I guess he’ll reply to me when he sees it.”

“I see. Anyway, I’ll make a move first while you stay here and look after him.” As soon as

Rosie turned around, the smile on her face instantly disappeared. I will make sure nothing

stands between me and Eli! I will do anything it takes to get rid of anyone who gets in my

way.

When Rosie returned to the Momsey Residence later, she approached the butler and

asked, “Where is my–brother?”

“He is in the gym, Miss Momsey.”

Rosie then went straight to the gym and saw her brother there. At that moment, Taylor

was seen running on the treadmill, shirtless and sweaty, while giving off a sexy and manly

aura.

“Give me a moment, Taylor. Pause your workout as I have something to discuss with

you.”1/3

Nevertheless, Taylor didn’t even bother to look at his sister and replied, “Every time you

come to me, it’s definitely for nothing good. You either bug me to help you arrange a date

with Elias or want me to be the matchmaker for the two of you. Let me be honest with

you-stop coming to me for this nonsense again because I won’t help you anymore.” Taylor

was tired of Rosie’s obsession with love, as if she had nothing else better to do. Also, he

was not happy with the fact that Rosie was so obsessed with Elias that she became

unwilling to open herself up to other opportunities.

Rosie responded by forcefully pulling Taylor off the treadmill. “No, it’s not that. I want you

to keep someone distracted for me.”

“Who’s that?” Taylor picked up his towel and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Rosie leaned close to Taylor’s ear and whispered a few words, whereupon Taylor frowned

in puzzlement.

The next morning, the bodyguard, who was still standing guard outside the ward, almost

fell asleep. Soon, Rosie arrived at the ward with a thermal flask in her hand, gently patting

the sleepy bodyguard’s shoulder.

It was then that the bodyguard immediately snapped out of his sleepiness and stood up

straight. When he saw Rosie, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I’m sorry that I dozed

off, Miss Momsey.”

“It’s okay. I’ll head inside and get this congee for Eli. Meanwhile, you should get refreshed

and buy yourself breakfast. See you later.”

“Thanks, Miss Momsey, but I don’t think I need…”

As the bodyguard was about to refuse, Rosie smiled and said, “You should go. I wish you

could see yourself drooling just now. Imagine if Eli saw that?

It was then that the bodyguard instinctively felt the corner of his mouth and

embarrassedly smiled, nodding his head. Upon seeing Rosie enter the ward, the

bodyguard made his way to the restroom, but as soon as he walked right through the

door, he was suddenly ambushed by a man in black who covered his mouth with a

handkerchief. Before he knew what was going on, his vision slowly became blurred just as

he lost consciousness.

Meanwhile, Rosie entered the ward and saw Elias still asleep, whereupon she gently

placed the thermos on the cabinet. Not long after that, she received a text message on

her phone, whereupon she took a quick look at it. ‘Okay,’ the message read. The next

second, an evil smile appeared on her face. Indicating that she had just gained control

over the situation in the ward.

At that moment, Elias opened his eyes and saw Rosie looking at him. In response to the

man’s pitch-black eyes that were staring at her, Rosie couldn’t help but feel a little

panicky on the inside.

“Eli, you’re up. Are you hungry? Have some congee, would you? You haven’t eaten

anything for quite some time.” Rosie spoke while pouring the congee into a bowl before

she was going to feed Elias.

Nevertheless, Elias sat up straight and took the bowl from Rosie’s hands, speaking in a

deep voice. “You may leave now. I can manage everything by myself.” For some reason,

he seemed reluctant to be in the same space with Rosie, but nonetheless, the lady didn’t

object to that as she obediently turned around and left.

“Rest well once you’re done eating. For the next two days, you’re only going to have

congee.” After saying that, Rosie closed the door behind her when she exited the ward.

She was then greeted by another bodyguard who was no longer the same man Yacob

arranged to be there. Instead, it was someone from the Momsey Family. “Miss Momsey.”

“Stay here and protect Eli. Make sure he doesn’t leave the hospital. He’s still weak.”

“Understood.”

“Also, no one is allowed to enter the ward, including the Winters Family’s butler,” Rosie

added.

“Got it.”

With a smirk on her face, Rosie walked toward the end of the corridor, thinking about her

plan of isolating Elias from the rest of the world so that she could have him for herself.

On the other hand, Amanda was over the moon about the fact that she was about to leave

the Lawrence Estate and go home soon. At the same time, Aiden couldn’t stop asking his

mother when they would go home. “When are we going home, Mommy?”

“Soon, my boy. Yacob will come to pick us up,” Amanda replied.

“Hooray! We can finally go home and see Daddy.” Aiden happily scampered around his

toys.

Although they were happy that they could finally escape from that place, Amanda still

forced herself to remain calm, knowing their escape plan would be foiled if Symeon

became suspicious. After all, Symeon would always be sure to keep her and Aiden

company whenever he was free even though he was a busy man with a tight schedule.

Furthermore, Aiden was informed by the butler that Symeon would be coming home later

that night to have dinner with them. When Symeon was about to arrive, Amanda was told

to take Aiden to the dining area and wait there.

“Aiden, stop playing. Let’s go have dinner.”

Amanda got up from her seat and walked closer to her son, seizing his little hand,

whereupon she walked out of the bedroom.
