The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 448

Chapter 448 You Actually Hit Me for Her 

Tdidn’t say anything, and I don’t know why he turned out like this. Who do you think you are to slap me? When he was in the hospital needing care after the accident, where were you then? Now that he’s regained consciousness, you come swooping in. You’re the most shameless one around here!” Rosie roared at Amanda in anger. 

Slap! Amanda delivered another sharp slap across Rosie’s face. 

“You know nothing! What’s all this yelling about? Let me make this clear-if anything happens to Elias, you won’t get away easily!” Amanda retorted fiercely. 

“Enough, Amanda! If you slap her again, I won’t stand by! Taylor intervened, firmly gripping Amanda’s arm. He had witnessed his sister being slapped twice, yet he couldn’t bring himself to raise his hand against a woman. 

Amanda glared at him angrily. After breaking free from his grasp, she walked toward the direction of the ward without looking back. She was determined to find out what was afflicting Elias. 

With a completely puzzled expression, Rosie stood in place as she watched Amanda storm off 

“Taylor, why did she slap me? What right does she have to hit me? She was the one who abandoned Eli when he was unconscious. What gives her the right now?” 

Taylor remained silent. Instead, he looked at her swollen cheek and said, “Tll fetch an ice pack for you.” As he walked away, Rosie inexplicably burst into laughter. The stillness of the hospital corridor only amplified the eerie undertone of her laughter. 

I want to see if Elias will still be interested in Amanda after finding out all of this! 

Inside the ward. 

Amanda sat by the bed, watching the sleeping man. He looked pale, and his brows furrowed. It was as if he was having a nightmare. 

She held his hand and noticed his furrowed brows gradually relaxing. 

In his current state, she couldn’t muster the courage to discuss Aiden’s situation with him. Furthermore, Elias’ injuries were far from fully healed. Considering a flight of several hours was unrealistic because he might faint halfway. 

After an indeterminate period, Elias finally woke up. Slowly, he opened his deep, dark 

eyes. 

This time, the first sight that greeted him upon waking was Amanda-the woman who claimed to be his wife. 

Seeing Elias awaken, Amanda felt a surge of joy. “You’re awake! How are you feeling? Any discomfort? I’ll call the doctor for you.” 

As she was about to call for the doctor, Elias grabbed her delicate wrist and stared at her face intently. At that moment, all that echoed in his mind were the words Rosie had spoken and the haunting memory of the paternity test results.

He was utterly consumed by hatred! 

It hurts… Amanda winced in pain as her wrist felt like it was being crushed, her brows furrowing. 

Elias gritted his teeth and said, “Hurt? You do know what it feels like to be hurt, don’t you? Have you ever considered my feelings? Do you realize how much pain I was in when I lay in the bed after the accident?” 

Stunned, Amanda stared at the enraged man before her. She struggled to comprehend why Elias was so infuriated or what Rosie had said to provoke such a vehement reaction from him. 

“What did Rosie tell you?” 

It had to be something Rosie had said. Otherwise, how could he be so provoked? 

“Are you implying that what she said isn’t true?” 

“What exactly did she tell you? Tell me!” Amanda grappled with the urge to shout, mindful that he couldn’t get emotionally agitated due to his severe injuries. However, control slipped through her fingers. 

At that moment, the door to the ward opened, and Rosie walked in. 

“Eli… You guys… 

Rosie froze in place. She couldn’t comprehend the situation unfolding before her eyes. 

On the other hand, Elias immediately noticed Rosie’s swollen face, marked by a faint palm print. Who had slapped her? 

“Who did this to your face?” His voice was hoarse and feeble. 

Rosie turned her gaze toward Amanda and silently shook her head. “No one.” 

Following Rosie’s gaze that led to Amanda’s face, Elias was slightly taken aback. He asked, “Did you slap her?” 

“So what if I did? Someone as shameless as her deserves it.” 

The next moment, Elias’ palm landed on Amanda’s face with a resounding slap. The sound echoed through the entire ward. 

Taylor, who had walked in, was utterly stunned by the scene. 

Rosie’s initial astonishment quickly transformed into a smug smile. It seemed Elias had taken all her words to heart, and he believed them without a doubt. 

How can Amanda possibly explain herself now? After all, the paternity test report is right there in black and white. There’s no room for denial. 

Amanda’s face turned to the side. She didn’t expect Elias to slap her. 

Her eyes quickly welled up with tears as she gazed at Eliis pale and handsome face through the mist. “You hit me for her! I can’t believe that you actually hit me for her!” 

“So what if I did! What right do you have to slap her? Look at what you’ve done! How dare you show up in front of me!” A fit of coughing punctuated his words.

His emotions were running so high that he aggravated its injuries. The coughing fir was so intense that it triggered a throbbing headache.
