Elias suddenly opened his eyes. Dark light flashed through his eyes. He pulled the drawer open to get his phone.
After unlocking the screen, he indeed saw several missed calls, some from Makenna, some from Jeremy, and some from Amber.
He directly ignored Makenna's missed calls and called Amber back.
Amber hadn't gone to bed yet. She was about to call Elias.
She decided to call him at eleven o'clock as he might have finished his operation by then.
However, Elias called her back at half-past ten.
Amber saw Elias's caller ID and was delighted. In a hurry, she swiped to answer, "Have you finished the operation?"
"Yes, it's finished just now," Elias answered hoarsely, sounding exhausted. "What's the matter?"
Amber could tell he was tired, feeling sorry for disturbing him so late at night.
However, to get rid of the slanders on her, she had to.
"Something happened. Could you wait for a moment, please? I'll call you on another phone." She hung up and used a new SIM card Sheila had bought her to call him back.
As Cole said, her phone might be monitored by the police as they wanted to look for Jeremy, so Amber had to be cautious.
Elias raised his eyebrows in confusion. "Why did you change the number?"
"I have some reasons that can't be told. It's not important, though. What I going to tell you..." Amber took a deep breath and told him what had happened during the daytime.
Elias pinched his phone tightly upon hearing her words, looking extremely gloomy.
How dare Makenna do that!
It seemed she did have a death wish.
"I see. I'll disclose the evidence online later to prove your innocence. You'll be fine. Trust me!" Elias said solemnly. A light reflected from his glasses.
Amber nodded. "Okay. I trust you."
Currently, only Elias had the evidence.
Hence, she could only trust him.
"Can you not post it using your account ID? Otherwise, the police will suspect you to be the culprit," Amber reminded him after thinking for a moment. Although she knew Elias wasn't a decent man, she didn't want him to be in jail still.
After all, Elias did that to help her. Everyone had their own purpose. Amber didn't think she wasn't an absolutely good person, either. Hence, she didn't hope Elias would be put in jail.
Elias curled up his thin lips into a smile upon hearing her reminder. He answered gently, "I know. I'll post it via another account."
Sure enough, Amber was his angel, who was considerate for him.
Elias was born a heartless man. He had no compassion for others. Hence, his parents thought he was a weirdo. Other adults and children disliked him as well. To bully him, the children pushed him into the pond. Many adults had seen that at that time, but none of them was willing to help him. Only Amber reached out to help him.
Hence, since that moment, Elias swore to protect her all his life. Also, he would like those people who thought he was a weirdo to see he would care about someone, although he had no compassion and was born cold-hearted.
However, he knew it clearly. The feelings that he had for Amber weren't family affection, friendship, or love. It was something that he couldn't tell. One day, he would figure out what this feeling was.
On the other end of the line, upon hearing his confirmation, Amber hummed and hung up the phone.
Elias gazed at the phone for a while and called Jeremy.
Jeremy soon swiped to answer, "You appear finally."
"I was in operation earlier," Elias took off his glasses, rubbed his nose bridge, and answered.
