Chapter 447 Elias Fainted Again

A flicker of astonishment appeared in his dark eyes, and he couldn’t wait to find out the

answer.

“So, what exactly is her relationship with me? Speak up!

“Eli, believe me, I’m doing all this for your good. I truly don’t want you to be hurt. I’m

afraid the truth might overwhelm you. 1-

“Enough with the excuses! Spit it out! What’s the real story?”

Elias sensed he was edging closer to the truth, his curiosity driving him to uncover the

connection between him and Amanda.

“I-I’m not sure where to begin exactly. The relationship between you two is complicated.

It’s too complicated for me to explain in a few words”

“Well, then take your time and start from the beginning. I’ve got time now, so spill it!”

Elias was getting impatient with Rosie’s tearful demeanor, but he had to suppress his

anger because he wanted to uncover the truth.

Rosie noticed his impatience and intentionally stretched the suspense. She took a

paternity test from her bag and handed it to him.

“Eli, have a look at this first. After you’ve read it, try not to get too worked up. Let me

explain everything slowly…”

With a puzzled expression, Elias took the paternity test and quickly flipped to the last

page. As his eyes fell upon his

name, his dark pupils abruptly contracted. When he reached the test result, his handsome

face was filled with shock..

“What is this? What does this mean? Whose child is this? Mine? Then, why doesn’t the

paternity match?” A throbbing sensation crept into his head, but he gritted his teeth and

determined to suppress it. He wanted Rosie to lay out the events that transpired before

his memory loss.

“Eli, this is a bit of a long story. It has to start from your relationship with Amanda…”

“Just get to the point already!” he exclaimed in frustration.

Rosie trembled slightly. Despite her awareness of how terrifying his anger could be, she

was taken aback by his outburst.

Summoning a deep breath, she said, “Here’s what happened. Your late grandfather

coerced you into a marriage with a woman, but you didn’t want to. In a desperate move,

he threatened to die if you defied his wishes. Therefore, you ended up marrying her.

However, you never liked her initially, so you divorced her after a year of marriage. Four

years later, that woman suddenly returned from abroad with a child, claiming you as the

father. You decided to take responsibility and care for them, but then you got into a car

accident. After the accident, that woman and the child disappeared together. You were

lying in the hospital unconscious for a long time when I found you. The doctors said you

might become a vegetable, yet you thankfully regained consciousness.

Although Rosie didn’t explicitly state who the woman was, Elias comprehended the truth.

“So, that woman is Amanda, and this paternity test concerns me and that child. After my

accident, she

appeared with the child, only to return when she knew about my amnesia. Is that right?”

Rosie remained silent and nodded.

Abruptly, a wave of dizziness swept over him, coupled with an intense headache. When

she saw him, his mind flooded with images of Amanda’s tearful eyes. Was it all an act?

Elias took two steps back, and the paternity test fell onto the carpet. An explosion seemed

to rupture his mind, and his nose started to bleed. Then, he collapsed backward, engulfed

by darkness as consciousness slipped away.

“El

Rosie was truly frightened by this scene. Her eyes widened as she hurried over to help him

up. However, she realized he had completely lost consciousness,

Tears welled up in her eyes as she cried out, “Eli, don’t scare me. I was wrong. I shouldn’t

have told you

this.”

Although the doctor had warned her not to provoke his emotions, she couldn’t control

herself.

No matter how she called out to him, he remained unresponsive. Trembling, she retrieved

her phone andi dialed 911 before reaching out to her brother, Taylor, who was also lodged

in the same hotel.

On the other end of the phone, Taylor was about to go to sleep and lazily asked, “What’s

up? What’s going on now? Can’t you let me get some rest?”

“Taylor, please come quickly! Elias has fainted, and he’s bleeding from his nose. I don’t

know what’s going on. Taylor… please hurry…”

“What? What’s wrong? Hang on, I’m coming right away!”

In the next room.

After taking a shower and changing into her pajamas. Arnanda heard a woman’s

distraught cries coming from the neighboring room..

Isn’t that Elias’ room? Why is there a woman crying? Is it Rosie?

Moments later, she caught the sound of the next room’s door being opened, and Rosie’s

cries grew more pronounced.

Amanda’s eyes widened in alarm; something was definitely amiss.

Tossing her blanket aside, she hastily slipped on the hotel slippers and hurried outside. As

she swung her door open, the sight of Taylor supporting an unconscious Elias caught her

off guard.

“What’s going on? What the hell is going on?”

Rosie, who had been standing there all along, could only cry inconsolably.

Supporting Elias’ body, Taylor responded, “Don’t ask too much for now. Let’s quickly take

support.

Mada pushed aside the sobbing Rosie and walked over to Elias to offer her

Working together, Amanda and Taylor struggled to guide the unconscious Elias into the

elevator

In the late hours, inside the hospital

By the time Elias was wheeled out of the emergency room, the clock had struck 1am.

Amanda stepped forward to question the doctor as she asked, “Doctor, how is he? Is he

alright?”

“For the time being, his condition is stable. However, we need to conduct a brain CT scan.

I’ve noticed several injuries on his body. Has he been involved in a recent car accident?”

the doctor inquired

Amanda nodded, “Yes, indeed, there is a blood clot in his head. And what about the

nosebleed? Is it a cause for concern?”

“The nosebleed is likely due to his emotional distress and heightened stress levels. Try to

avoid situations that could further agitate him emotionally or lead to head trauma. A blood

clot in the brain can result in symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, and even loss of

consciousness. As his family, you all should exercise caution and vigilance.”

Although the doctor continued speaking. Amanda’s attention slipped away.

After the doctor left, she turned to face Rosie, who had been crying beside her. Stepping

closer, Amanda delivered a resounding slap across Rosie’s face.

Stunned, Rosie clutched her cheek and looked incredulous. “How dare you slap me!”

“Are you out of your mind? How dare you slap my sister!” Taylor stepped forward and

grabbed onto Amanda. Unfortunately, the slap had already landed, and it was heavy.

Amanda forcefully disentangled herself from Taylor’s grasp and locked her fierce gaze on

Rosie. “What did you say to Elias? Why did he suddenly turn like this? What kind of stress

did you put him through”
