The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 316

Chapter 316 Argument 

At the hospital, once Rosie’s injury was taken care of, the doctor instructed Elias, “Once the patient goes home, make sure the wound doesn’t come into contact with water. She can’t have any alcohol, seafood, or spicy food.” 

“Right.” 

“Also, it will be a little itchy when the wound scabs over, but she must not scratch it. All that’s left is to come to the hospital and change the dressing when it’s time.” 

“Okay,” Elias patiently responded to the nurse. 

Just then, another nurse came over to pass the medical invoice to Elias. “Hi. You’ll need to pay on the first. floor.” 

Elias took the invoice and left. 

Once he was gone, the nurse tending to Rosie’s bandage commented, “Is that your boyfriend? He’s so handsome. I’ve never seen someone as handsome as him.” 

Rosie smiled blissfully. It was her first time hearing someone mistake Elias for her boyfriend, making her feel all giddy inside. If only it were real. 

She didn’t say anything, but the sweet smile on her face made the nurse assume that they were indeed a couple. 

“You should seize this chance to order him around a bit more,” the nurse suggested teasingly. “He looks rather stern and reserved.” 

“I wish, but I can’t bear to do that…” Rosie lowered her head bashfully. 

If Elias were indeed her boyfriend, she couldn’t possibly bear to order him around. She would be the one who fawned over him and worshiped his every move. 

The nurse laughed. “He has you right under this thumb. You shouldn’t give in to a man so much, you know. As long as he has you in his heart, you can always throw a little tantrum sometimes.” 

That wiped the smile off Rosie’s face. 

It just so happened that she didn’t have a place in his heart at all, so what could she do? The moment she threw a tantrum, she would have even less chance to be near him. 

Elias came back and saw that her wound was all bandaged up, so he helped her up. “Let’s go.” 

“Eli, you won’t scold Aiden anymore when you go back, right? He’s still so young. He would be very scared. if you kept scolding him all the time.” 

Rosie looked so kind and sweet as if she genuinely felt worried for Aiden. 

“I won’t,” Elias replied. 

Rosie froze. He’s not going to?He’s not going to care that the little brat made me bleed? 

She kept up her fake smile. “That’s good. Aiden’s a very good boy. Maybe he’s just not used to a new environment.”

Elias didn’t say anything. 

Back at Winters Estate, Rosie was brought back to her room and Elias didn’t stay for even a second longer. He turned and left right away. 

As soon as he had his back to Rosie, her innocent smile disappeared without a trace. She knew Elias would be biased toward Aiden, but she didn’t think he would be this biased. 

Meanwhile, Amanda had only just managed to coax Aiden into taking a nap. He had only just gotten the surgery and still needed a lot of rest. 

All of a sudden, the bedroom door opened. 

Amanda turned around in displeasure. She was even more displeased to see Elias.coming in. 

Seeing that Aiden was asleep, Elias slowed down his footsteps. He closed the door and came over to the bed. 

She was seething with rage over the fact that Elias had berated Aiden until he cried, and all because of Rosie. 

After tucking the covers around Aiden, Amanda stood up and gave Elias a look that meant she wanted to talk out on the balcony. 

The two went out to the balcony and closed the glass door behind them. 

Elias knew what Amanda wanted to say, so he sat down on the chair and quietly waited for Amanda to lash out at him. 

He felt bad about scolding his son, but Rosie did save Aiden’s life, so he didn’t think it was right for Rosie to suffer such grievances. 

“You took Rosie’s words without even clarifying what happened first! Or, is this your way of doubting the way I raise my son? Do you think my son would do such a thing?” 

This was what angered Amanda the most-the fact that Elias assumed Aiden hurt Rosie without even finding out what happened first. 

Elias looked down. He was silent for a while before he finally said, “Aiden has the habit of throwing things when his temper flares up. That needs to be corrected, or else, it’ll be hard for him to change once he gets older. 

“Don’t even try to change the subject! If it were you, you would’ve thrown things around too! Why wouldn’t he be furious at the way you accepted those false accusations against him?” 

Elias looked into Amanda’s eyes. “But Rosie was indeed injured. I saw Aiden pushing her to the floor. No matter what, she did save Aiden’s life. It’s not good for him to repay her kindness with such behavior.” 

“What a joke! Do you think Rosie’s made of paper? How can a three-year-old boy push her to the floor? She was faking it, okay?! Can’t you see that?!” 

Amanda was well and truly pissed off. I knew it! Rosie’s up to no good!
