The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 512

Chapter 512 Symeon’s Phone Call 

The following morning, Symeon heard Dulcie whimpering in her bed. He thought it might be another one of her nightmares and reluctantly got up to comfort her. However, when he reached her bedside, he was startled to see the child’s cheeks were rosy. Instinctively, he touched her forehead and realized she had a fever. Panic washed over him, and he shouted. angrily, “Anyone! The child has a fever!” 

The nanny hurried to the room and asked, “Mr. Lawrence, what happened? How did she get a fever?” 

He was furious and scolded her, “How dare you ask! You slept like a log and weren’t even aware when the child left the room!” 

However, the nanny was at a loss for words and didn’t know how to respond to the scolding. 

Then, Symeon reached for his phone and called his private doctor, urgently asking him to 

come over. 

In about half an hour, the doctor arrived at the villa. 

After giving Dulcie some fever-reducing medicine, the doctor reassured him, “The child must have caught a cold. Also, her fever will go down after taking the medicine. Just give her the remaining dose in two hours and keep her warm. Ensure she gets plenty of rest and. drinks warm water. Don’t worry because she’ll be okay in a few days.” 

Symeon finally breathed a sigh of relief, wondering how the child had caught a chill. He couldn’t help but question if he had covered her with a blanket last night. 

At that moment, Dulcie, softly crying in her sleep, murmured, “Mommy… Mommy… 

Grandma…” 

Whenever someone fell ill, their emotions could be affected, and this was especially true for children. However, Symeon was a grown man and didn’t know how to comfort a sick child. What should I do? 

Seeing the unwell child in bed, Symeon felt helpless. He realized the nanny was unreliable, and no other woman was around to comfort the little one. Suddenly, someone came to his 

mind… 

At the Winters Estate, Amanda had been back home for several days, and it was time for Aiden to go to kindergarten. Summer vacation was about to start, and he hadn’t been to kindergarten much this year.

“Aiden, hurry up and get ready. Grab your backpack, and Mr. Yacob will take you to kindergarten.” 

“I know, Mommy. You’re so naggy.” 

Yacob walked over, picked up Aiden, and assured Amanda, “I’ll take him to school.” 

She smiled and nodded. Then, she sat on the couch and was bored since Elias had left for work early that morning to attend several meetings. 

At that moment, the nanny rushed downstairs and said, “Madam, your phone has been ringing for a while.” 

“Bring it over.” Amanda took the phone and saw an unfamiliar number. After hesitating momentarily, she swiped the screen to answer. “Who is it?” 

“It’s me.” 

She froze upon hearing the voice, instantly recognizing it as Symeon’s. She couldn’t understand why he was calling her. She had hoped to have no further dealings with him after all the suffering he had caused her family. 

“Why are you calling me? Don’t you have anything better to do?” Her tone was far from friendly, given the pain he had brought into her life. 

“Do 

you 

have to be so hostile? I’m not calling to cause trouble but to seek your help.” 

“Help? What’s wrong with you? What can I do to help you?” Amanda couldn’t fathom why. Symeon, with his influential family background, would need her assistance. 

Then, he explained, “Dulcie has a fever, and she keeps calling for her mother. She can’t see. Melissa anymore. I plan to help her find her biological mother, but right now… I’m struggling to take care of her. Can you come and take a look? You’re a mother and should know how to comfort a sick child.” 

She hesitated upon hearing this request. She had no desire to see him, but she couldn’t ignore the plight of an innocent child. Dulcie was just a three-year-old girl, and with her grandmother and mother absent, she must be frightened. Additionally, given the man’s somber disposition, it was only natural for children to be afraid around him. 

After some thought, Amanda reluctantly agreed, “Okay, send me the address. I’ll come over later.” 

However, as she hung up the phone, she started to regret her decision. She knew that Elias would be furious if he knew about this, but it could upset him even more if she didn’t tell him about it.

So, she dialed his number to let him know. However, he didn’t answer after several attempts. Frustrated, she tried calling Jean, his secretary, who picked up quickly. 

“Where is Elias? Let him answer the phone; I have something to tell him.” 

Jean hesitated for a moment and replied, “Um… Mr. Winters is currently busy. I don’t think he has the time to answer the phone.” 

“Is he in a meeting?”
