The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Come At Me With Your Grievances

Outside the emergency room at the hospital, Amanda waited by the bench on the side. Suddenly, a series of rushed footsteps echoed in the hallway, prompting her to look up and see Elias approaching her. He had a gloomy expression and barked, "What did you do to her? She has a heart condition!"

Huh. Such unconditional trust for Grace. He doesn't even know the whole truth, and he's already accusing me of provoking her. "Why don't you ask why your girlfriend would come to my office and cause such a commotion during working hours?!" She had had enough and was fed up with these two, but Grace just had to show up at her doorstep!

At that moment, the ER door opened, emerging a doctor who asked, "Family of Grace Murphy?"

Elias went forward. "How is she?"

"She has congenital heart disease and might've been triggered, causing her emotion to surge and eventually faint. I'll keep her for two nights and observe her situation. Remember, do not trigger her again."

Once the doctor left, Elias furiously turned to glare at Amanda. "What else do you have to say? What exactly did you put her through?"

"You can ask your lover once she wakes up." She turned and was ready to leave. Moreover, how could she have known that Grace had a heart condition? Why come to my law firm stirring up trouble if her heart can't take it?

"Ahh—"

Just as she turned around, she was tugged back and pressed onto the cold wall. The man's long fingers pinched her chin while he screamed, "You can come at me with your grievances, but don't provoke Grace! Her condition can't handle it!"

When her body slammed into the wall, she felt immense pain in her back. "Elias, how dare you accuse me of provoking her when you don't even know what happened? Let me reiterate that she was the one who appeared at my office. I'm not the one harassing her!"

"What was she there for?" He stared into her eyes while questioning.

"To shove money in my face so that I'll stay away from you! Do you think I was provoking her now? Be a man to your woman so that she'll stop interrupting my work!" She pushed him away and stormed out of the hospital.

The solemn man sent a heavy punch into the wall.

…

Inside the VIP ward, when Grace opened her eyes, she saw Elias' back while he stood before the French window. Smiling, she called out to him weakly, "Elias…"

When he heard that, he turned around and approached the bed. "Amanda and I are divorced, so you have no reason to confront her."

She was taken aback. "Elias… I'm sorry. Are you mad at me?"

He seemed displeased. "What do you think? Don't you know about your condition better than anyone?"

"I just don't want you to contact each other anymore, but Amanda said she wants to get back with you and pester you. She wants to break us up. That's why I was so worked up…"

"That's impossible," Elias denied.

Grace was shocked because she discovered that he had subconsciously believed in Amanda over her. She struggled to get up and acted like she was looking for something but was too weak to do so.

Pushing her shoulders down, he asked, "What are you trying to do?"

"Do you think I'm lying? I have a recording as proof! Amanda said those words herself and vowed to use Old Mr. Winters to accomplish her goal of getting back with you!" She grabbed her bag and took out her phone before playing the recording. She had expected Amanda's reluctance to take the money and disappear, so she recorded their conversation in advance.

Without saying anything, the man frowned deeply, lost in thought. Did Amanda return to remarry me and get back her place as Mrs. Winters?

Uncle Simon? Is that little brat on the phone with my boss?
