“I just thought it was too much of a coincidence. Why is it always on your birthday? It’s my fault since Ishould have reminded you not to go out yesterday-

Elias’ eyes were filled with impatience. “It has nothing to do with you. Don’t keep taking the blame foreverything”

“But…. I’m scared that my brother is really haunting you. Did he see that I tried hurting myself recentlyand thought you were bullying me so- Grace tried directing their conversation with a mysterious tonetoward her brother Yelan so everyone would think it was karmic retribution and his spirit had returnedfor revenge.

As soon as she mentioned him, the ward became deathly quiet. Howard, who had been scornful,suddenly turned pale as he thought of something, and his expression became complicated.

The bedridden man suddenly snorted. “Are you implying that Yelan is taking revenge on me? Whydidn’t he just kill me yesterday? It was an amazing chance because it would’ve taken days for anyoneto discover I had died there.”

Elias was already tired of everything being connected to karma. No matter what happened helpthinking about it involuntarily.

“Yelan knows I fancy you, so he would never do that!” Grace looked extremely certain.

He was speechless.

Meanwhile, Howard stood up abruptly while leaning on his walking stick. “I’ll get a master fortune divineyour future. Rest well and I’ll come back to visit you again tonight.”

He then walked out with the help of his cane. The elderly man hadn’t been so superstitious before thisbu after his son had died and his daughter-in-law became mad, he had begun to believe intensely inthose sorts of things. He started asking around for protective amulets and praying for Elias’ safety aswell.

Elias’ expression was freezing as he looked at his grandfather’s stooped figure before glancing atGrace. “You should go too. I want to rest.”

He lay back on the bed, refusing to look at her anymore.

“Then you should rest, Elias. I’ll come to see you again tomorrow.” Her hands clenched at her sides inreaction to his frigid attitude, though she had to suppress the feeling.

The man didn’t reply but closed his eyes instead, pretending to sleep. Grace was extremely furious butcouldn’t do anything, so she turned around and left.

It’s okay. I’ll take my time. I’m not impatient.

Besides, she knew his temper well. He would never change his decision quickly.

As soon as Grace left the hospital, she received a call. After looking around cautiously to check that noone was around, she found a corner to take the call. She didn’t expect Amanda to have arrived at thehospital

at that very moment and walked past behind her.

Amanda had come to the hospital after sending her son to kindergarten. She had just parked her carand was about to enter the ward. When she passed the corridor, she saw a familiar-looking womantalking on the phone. She glanced at the talking woman for several moments before realizing it wasGrace.

Amanda was about to walk directly past Grace since they didn’t have any love lost between them. Ihighly doubt we’ll be greeting each other with false courtesy.

However, as she walked past Grace quickly, she heard a strange conversation.

“Have you cleaned everything up? Will the police trace things back to me?”

“They won’t. Don’t worry. I have dealt with everything nicely so no matter how the police investigate theaccident, they will only replace that it was due to the brakes malfunctioning but not that it was deliberate.”

Grace’s mouth curved into a smile. “That’s good. Leave quickly before the police come. There are noclosed-circuit cameras along that stretch of road anyway.”

“I know.”

Amanda couldn’t hear what was being said on the other end, just Grace mentioning the police andcamera footage before she left the hospital.

Amanda muttered to herself as she watched Grace’s frail silhouette. “What did that all mean?”

The words ‘police’ and ‘camera footage didn’t seem to have any connection to Grace and felt likesomething was being kept secret. Amanda couldn’t understand it for now and instead prepared to go toElias’ ward to see how he was.

When she arrived outside the ward, Yacob stood up at the sight of her. There you are. Miss Bailey”

“Hi. I’m going in to see him.”

She knocked on the door but didn’t get any response from the man inside, so she decided to push thedoor open and enter the room. However, she saw that the man had his back on her as he lay on thebed. seemingly asleep.

Suddenly, the man spoke coldly. “Get out.”

She was surprised since she thought he had fallen asleep. “So, you weren’t sleeping”

Elias cold expression turned warmer after he heard her voice and he turned to look at her, his eyesbrightening somewhat. However, he then looked moody again. “Why did you come so late?”

“At least I’m here. Why are you complaining that I’m late? 1 must have allowed such a bad habit todevelop.” Amanda couldn’t believe this. He had said he would change his temper but that was utterlyimpossible.

She walked toward him, planning to pour him a glass of water since the doctor had said he could onlyhave water and not food. However, she noticed the half-empty glass of water on the cabinet whichhadn’t been finished. Recalling that she had seen Grace who was taking a call outside, she nowunderstood what

had happened.

Amanda settled on the chair. “I was about to pour you a glass of water, but it looks like Grace hasalready fed you some. That saves me some effort.”

“How do you know she came?” He frowned.

“I saw her coincidentally.” Her smile was fake and emotionless.

Elias didn’t know what to say to that and tried to explain. “I didn’t ask her to come but she insisted oncoming. I didn’t even tell her about the accident-”

“You don’t have to explain yourself since I can imagine it already. She must have called the butler andheard what happened. She fancies you a lot, so she would definitely come to the hospital to see you.”

Amanda’s unbothered attitude annoyed Elias and he couldn’t stand it. “Have you come to anger me?”

“You are so ungrateful. I’m here to visit you, aren’t I? How have I angered you? If I really wanted to dothat, why did I go out into the heavy rain to replace you last night?”

He replied after recalling something. “Oh, yes. You wanted to tell me something before I fell unconsciouin your car. I didn’t hear it, so can you repeat it?”

He could recall indistinctly that she wanted to tell him something. He had tried to remain awake butcouldn’t hold on anymore.

She froze upon hearing that. So, was her courage in saying the truth last night all wasted? Did the mannot hear a word of it?

She didn’t really have the bravery to repeat it in front of an alert-looking Elias though, feeling that hemight lose his temper after knowing the truth just like she had dreamed last night. He might even be sofurious that he would choke her to death. Besides, it currently wasn’t the right time. She would have tosee how Elias behaved after this..

“It’s nothing. I just wanted to attract your attention so you could remain awake.”
