The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Just You Wait, Elias!

Elias let out a chortle. “What does a man need shame for? Achieving our goals is what’s important.”

Amanda was thoroughly rendered speechless. Knowing that there was no way for her to

communicate with him nor was she bothered to waste her time with him, she decided to hang up on him.

However, the man on the other end suddenly piped up, “If you don’t want to be my legal advisor, come and reject the offer to my face or I’ll insist on my decision.”

“Just you wait, Elias!”

“What time are you coming over? I’m working overtime at the office, so I can wait a little longer for you.”

“Wait until I’m free. It may even be midnight. If you can wait for me in the office until midnight, I’ll definitely go over to see you.”

At that, Amanda immediately hung up. She didn’t believe for a second that Elias would wait for her in the company until it was midnight, and she resumed her work after hanging up.

Sitting opposite her, Aiden blinked his large eyes at the sight of her fuming appearance. “Mommy, who are you angry at?”

“I’m not angry. I’ll be done after you finish one more episode, and then we can go

home.”

“Okay!”

Amanda couldn’t help but smile at his adorable voice. At the end of the day, only this young boy was capable of drawing out a smile from her in an instant.

Hence, she had to keep him firmly by her side, and she would never give up his custody to a deadbeat father like Elias. He didn’t deserve it! In fact, he could go back to a fake b*tch like Grace all he wanted!

After finishing her work for the day, Amanda took Aiden back to Galaxy Bay. Then, she made a simple meal and helped him take a shower once they were done with their meal. By the time she coaxed him to bed, it was nearly 10.00PM.

Amanda headed downstairs to get a bottle of water to drink from the fridge, and it was then that she heard a sound from the door, most likely signaling Selina’s return..

Twisting the cap open and taking two sips of water, she walked toward the living room and called out, “Selina, you’re back-

However, before she could finish, she was met with the sight of Selina’s face covered in wounds. She hurriedly strode over and asked, “What happened to your face? Did someone hit you?”

She looked at Selina’s bruise-covered face and her swollen forehead, and it appeared as if she had been abused by someone. Then, Amanda recalled that Selina had said that she was married. Could it be a case of domestic violence?

Selina subconsciously covered the injuries on her face with her hands, wanting to return to her room immediately. “It’s no big deal. I just bumped into something by accident. I’ll be fine after I put some ice on it. You should go to sleep soon.”

Amanda tugged her hand downward and inspected her wounds. She was quite badly hurt, and it seemed that the culprit was planning to end her life.

“Tell me, what exactly happened? Did you run into a robber on the way back, or is it… domestic violence?” Despite her questioning tone, Amanda could tell at a glance that Selina’s wounds were a result of domestic violence.

Upon hearing her final question, Selina couldn’t help but let out a wail and jumped into Amanda’s arms. “Amanda, you’re the only one who brought up domestic violence with me. They all | say! that it’s just a couple’s dispute, that it’s normal for a husband and wife to fight and things will be fine soon, but I really can’t take it anymore…

“What kind of couple’s dispute would put you in this state? You can file a case with this! Tell me what exactly happened. Don’t forget what I do for a living. I can help you!”

Amanda led her to the couch and sat her down so that she could give her a thorough examination. She noticed that Selina’s body was covered in bruises as well, and it was clear that it was a classic case of domestic violence. Not only that, she could tell that Selina’s husband wasn’t planning to spare her life at all.

“Amanda, I wanted to stay there for a night, but I just couldn’t spend another second in that place, so I came back… I don’t feel like saying anything now. Don’t ask.”

“Okay, okay, you don’t have to tell me anything right now. I’ll go get the first aid kit to treat your injury. It looks quite serious.”

Then, she left to look for the first aid kit, only to realize that its contents were incomplete as it hadn’t been long since she moved houses, so there was no way for her to treat Selina’s wound.

“Wait here. I’ll go out and get some medicine. Aiden is sleeping upstairs, so help me take care of him.”

With that, Amanda was just about to leave when Selina hurriedly shot to her feet and stopped her. “You don’t have to. I’ll be fine in no time after I put some ice on it.”

“What do you mean, you’ll be fine? Look at how bad your injury is. This isn’t something that can be solved with ice alone. It’s going to get inflamed. Wait for me at home.”

With a frown, Amanda turned around and left the house. She had always assumed that Selina had

married a good man, but she never expected him to be someone who would hurt his wife, and it disgusted her.

Amanda drove away from Galaxy Bay and had just started to look for a 24-hour pharmacy when her phone began to ring.
