Chapter 457

Amanda desperately wanted to tell him everything. Alas, if she revealed the whole truth at once, shewas truly afraid that he wouldn’t be able to handle the shock and would fall into a coma yet again. Ifthat happened, it would be another round of the waiting game. This time, she wouldn’t know when hewould wake up or if he would even regain his consciousness,

“I know you don’t believe me either. That’s why I said you should personally investigate these mattersyourself. Don’t believe anyone. Only believe the results of your investigation.”

By doing so, he would be able to slowly come to terms with the truth through the investigation. It alsohad the benefit of putting him at ease with the plus side of preventing anyone else from massivelydistorting the truth.

Unfortunately, Elias couldn’t understand where she was coming from. So, all he felt was annoyanceand frustration as he demanded, “Why can’t you just tell me?!”

She hesitated as she thought things through. In the end, she didn’t have the words to convey theabsolute mess their lives were. Besides, she could barely voice the words herself. How could shepossibly tell Elias that Symeon had pretty much kidnapped their son and was raising Aiden as his own?

Frankly, she wouldn’t be surprised if Elias fainted right on the spot, which would do absolute wondersfor his recovery.

“Because the truth is too cruel. I-I… can’t tell you. You need to investigate this yourself. Since time isn’texactly of the essence right now, I’d much rather you take your time learning the truth of the matter.After all, your injuries haven’t fully healed yet, and you can’t do anything. in your current state. I don’twant you to take any unnecessary risks. The safety of both your and our son is paramount! I don’t wantto lose any of you!” Amanda said as tears welled up in her eyes.

7 D Mr Winters Bully You?

Elias stared at her face and suddenly felt a headache coming on. He couldn’t help but stumble to hisseat, supporting his forehead as he endured the piercing pain.

Amanda instinctively wanted to approach him. “Are you okay?”

“Headache… Medicine…”

Medicine?

She panicked and turned around, running out of the study and shouting, “Mr. Jones! Mr. Jones! Whereis the headache medicine? Hurry and bring it here!”

She kept calling for Boris. Eventually, Boris heard her and cried from downstairs, “The headachemedicine is in Mr. Winters’ bedroom. I’ll get it right away!”

Then, she looked at the man in the study, who had a pained expression on his face. “Hold on! Themedicine will be here soon! Hang in there!”

After a while, Boris brought the headache medicine. She immediately snatched the bottle from him,turned around, and dashed to the study. Then, she hastily unscrewed the bottle. cap and handed twopills to Elias.

He took the pills and gulped them down. After a while, he could feel his headache easing up.

When he looked up, he instantly noticed Amanda’s worried expression. Although he couldn’t rememberanything, he still felt inclined to believe her words.

“Are

you saying that the child is ours and the paternity test was a fake?”

Amanda nodded, but she didn’t dare to say anything else lest she caused more harm than good. Hestarted having a headache after exchanging information, so she was genuinely afraid that he wouldfaint if she said anything else.

“Alright, since you’re being so insistent, I’ll give you a chance. I will personally investigate this matter. Ifthe truth does not correlate to my replaceings… I trust you understand what I’m not saying.”

Elias’ eyes were filled with cruelty. Of course, he wanted to replace out the truth. It felt terrible. not knowinganything about the past. Anyone could easily exploit his weakness and deceive

him.

Amanda hesitated, nodded, and turned to leave. Suddenly, she remembered something and turnedback. “Why don’t you go to the hospital? Your wounds aren’t healed yet. You’re still seriously injured.Besides, everyone would be more at ease if you’re being hospitalized.”

No hospital.” The man emphasized each word, his tone filled with undeniable disgust for hospitals.

Amanda sighed softly. “Then, take care of yourself. There are still many things you need to do.”

Elias watched her figure as she walked out of the study and felt a strange emptiness in his heart. Therewas a voice in his mind shouting, Don’t let Amanda leave!

Suddenly, his headache returned.

His head would start pounding whenever he tried to think deeply about his lost memories. Well, hewould wait until the truth was revealed before thinking about it.

In the following days, Amanda didn’t dare to disturb Elias. She knew that he needed space toinvestigate and digest this new information. Plus, she didn’t want to provoke him than necessary.

Just then, her phone rang, and it was a call from Yacob.

any more

She answered the phone, saying impatiently, “Why are you calling me when you should be resting?There’s no point worrying about things other than recuperating. Besides, it’s not like you can doanything right now.”

“Why are you being so fierce? Did Mr. Winters bully you?”

She didn’t say anything as she worried her bottom lip. Then, she heard Yacob continuing, “He doesn’tremember anything right now. You should be the bigger person here. You need to think about your pastand think about Aiden! Aiden is our priority right now! You have to help Mr. Winters regain hismemories. Otherwise, I’m afraid Aiden will truly treat that despicable trash as his father.”

“I know, but he’s seriously injured now. If I provoke him, he will have a headache or even faint. How canI get him to regain his memories when he’s far from the picture of health? His wounds haven’t evenhealed yet, and there are blood clots in his brain. If I tell him now, he might faint from agitation. Then,who knows when he’ll wake up?! Or, if he boards a plane. and experiences some air turbulence, theblood clots in his brain might disperse. In the end, we’ll be back to square one! I can’t do anything rightnow! What else can I do? Well? I’m up for ideas!”

Amanda was truly out of wits at this point. It felt as though even the world was against her as everyonebacked her into a corner, forcing her away from her loved ones.

Yacob fell silent after hearing her. It was clear that he had no solution for the conundrum. they werefacing right now.

After a while, he said, “Although I can’t do anything now, I can move around. Somewhat. It plan toinfiltrate Lawrence Estate and protect Aiden.”

“You? Symeon knows what you look like. There’s no possible way you’re going to succeed in thatfruitless endeavor. Also, do I need to remind you that your legs are broken? How can you protect Aidenwhen you can’t even move without a wheelchair?”

“Perhaps you’ve forgotten about disguise techniques. And… are you telling me Lawrence Estatediscriminates against the disabled? How scandalous! Don’t you think I can get myself. hired as agardener?”

Amanda had nothing to say to that. So, she sighed in resignation. “Just be careful. No one will be ableto save you if you’re discovered.”

“Don’t worry. I’m not that useless. I’ll call you once my mission succeeds.”

Then, he hung up the phone after that. Eventually, Amanda rose to her feet and walked into thebathroom, preparing to freshen up and have a meal.

If Yacob could infiltrate Lawrence Estate to take care of Aiden… Well, she would feel much.

more at ease.

Her phone rang once more after she was done with her morning routine. She picked it up and saw thecaller ID display-“Husband.” Was it a call from Elias? He actually took the initiative to call her? This wasunbelievable.

She answered the phone, but the voice on the other end dashed all her hopes.

“Miss Bailey, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip to the company. This is Mr. Winters’request.”

“Oh… I see…”

She thought Elias was calling her. So, she couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

Nonetheless, she changed into an appropriate outfit before taking her bag and headed off to WintersEnterprise to see what was happening.

Amanda went directly to the legal department the moment she arrived at Winters. Enterprise, assumingthat some legal issues needed her consultation.

Alas, as soon as she made her way to the elevator, the elevator doors slid open, and Elias” assistantwalked out. “Miss Bailey, you’ve finally arrived. Come with me to the conference

room.”

She entered the elevator, looking utterly puzzled. “The conference room? Not the legal department?”

“Mr. Winters is meeting with clients in the conference room. He wants you to listen in. I don’t know whathis intentions are. You’ll have to hear it from Mr. Winters himself.”

She nodded and didn’t ask further questions as she quietly followed the assistant to the conferenceroom.

Her eyes immediately fell on the man in a suit sitting at the conference table. It was evident that he wasbusy conversing with his clients.

The assistant led her to sit quietly behind the man. She stared at his proud back, waiting to be calledon for her legal advice.

Yet, what surprised her was that throughout the whole process, the man didn’t call her even once. Shewas truly just there to listen. Honestly, she didn’t know what Elias was planning.
