The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 243

Chapter 243 He's My Ex-husband

Grace was lugged away by Yacob. While growling, she stared resentfully at Elias.

I suppose he loves Amanda the most. He's even willing to fend off the sulfuric acid for her. If that's not love, I don't know what is.

However, the more affection Elias showed for Amanda, the more resentful Grace felt.

…

Soon, Amanda was getting her wound treated in the hospital. Her injury was minor as only a few drops of sulfuric acid came into contact with her sleeve and burned her arm.

While treating her wound, the nurse said, "How did the two of you get wounded by sulfuric acid? It's hard to get exposed to such a substance in daily life."

"It's a long story," Amanda replied briefly as she wasn't in the mood to explain anything.

She wondered how Elias was doing. His back was covered in blood. Is a large area of his back wounded?

Seeing that the woman was unwilling to talk, the nurse stopped asking and focused on treating her wound.

A moment later, another nurse entered the room and said, "The man whose back was wounded by sulfuric acid is your husband, isn't he? Although he's injured, he's very tough. When we were treating his wound, he didn't even flinch. He's quite resilient."

Amanda felt her chest tightening. She couldn't help but ask, "Is his wound serious, miss? Will he be left with scars on his back?"

After all, Elias' back was covered in blood earlier, and it was hideous.

Why does fate keep playing tricks on me? Whenever I'm about to give up on him, I end up owing Elias a favor I can never repay.

The nurse replied, "Well, it's not that severe, but a large area of his back has been affected. He'll only be able to sleep on his stomach for an entire month, and he might even come down with a fever. As such, we have to pay extra attention to his wound's aftercare."

With that, the nurse turned around and left.

The nurse treating Amanda's wound said, "When you go home, you have to sterilize your husband's wound. Also, don't let it come into contact with water. Abstain from spicy food and sleep early. He'll recover in no time, and there won't be any scars left. I'm sure the wound on his back will heal."

Amanda nodded. "Alright, thanks. I'll pass on your advice to his family members. I'm not his wife, after all. He's my ex-husband."

The nurse's curiosity was aroused when she heard that.

"Is he your ex-husband? He still loves you very much, though. You'd better remarry him, then." Since the man was willing to ward off sulfuric acid for Amanda, the nurse felt it would be a shame if they didn't remarry.

Amanda said, "That's not going to happen. He's getting engaged to someone else."

The nurse was rendered speechless and didn't have the nerve to keep asking, thinking that their love life was quite strange.

It was puzzling that a man who was about to get engaged would still fend off sulfuric acid for his ex-wife.

…

After getting her wound treated, Amanda headed to Elias' ward. He was supposed to stay in the hospital for two days, and he might come down with a fever.

Amanda stood outside the door, hesitant to enter.

He'll be fine since so many people will be taking care of him. Moreover, they'll get private doctors to help him recover. I won't be of any help even if I stay here.

She wanted to turn around and leave, but she couldn't convince herself to do so. After all, the man was wounded because of her.

Just as she was hesitant to enter, Yacob, who had just returned from sending Grace to the police station, arrived.
