The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59 If You Don’t Agree, Then There’s No Point in Discussing 

Amanda was in a great dilemma. Should I tell Elias the truth? He will save Aiden if I tell him that’s his son, right? But… 

Sometime later, Amanda looked up at the infuriated man and asked, “If… I mean, if that’s your child, would you refuse to save him as well?” 

Her words enraged Elias for good. 

He shot up from bed, strode to her, and clamped her jaw as he snarled: “Don’t talk to me about this! There is no “if”! My child died four years ago, and you know it! I won’t save this child no matter what you say!” 

At that, tears rolled down Amanda’s cheeks and onto Elias’ arm before falling onto the carpet. 

Is she crying?! Elias’ eyes widened slightly with incredulity. She’s crying because I refuse to save Nicholson’s son, and she’s crying so devastatingly at that! 

His possessiveness and jealousy brewed at once, and he clamped Amanda’s jaw even harder. “Did you cry when you gave up our child?! Were you this sad?!” 

“You’ll regret this!” Amanda flung his arm away with unadulterated malice. 

This b*stard is just as heartless as he was four years ago. Nothing can change his mind once he’s decided on it. 

“I won’t,” Elias enunciated. 

“Very well. I shouldn’t have come in the first place!” Amanda’s tears were like beads of a broken. string at this point, rolling one after another down her cheeks as she left his bedroom without even looking back.. 

Meanwhile, Elias pressed his lips into a thin line as he looked at her obstinate back, and the knuckles of his clenched fists popped by his sides.

“Mr. Elias is hot-tempered like that, Miss Bailey. You just have to talk to him,” said the butler as he followed the teary-eyed woman out of the estate. 

“Say no more. He’s just a d*ckhead. I don’t want to see him ever again.” 

“Let me arrange for a car to send you back, then. You won’t be able to hail a cab here,” the butler advised. 

The Winters Estate was located in the suburbs. It was impossible to hail a cab there, and the butler noticed Amanda had come in one earlier. 

“No, thanks! Don’t follow me anymore!” Amanda was feeling her worst, and she couldn’t think about anything else other than Aiden right then. 

Alas, she realized how wrong she was when she left the estate, for there wasn’t even a bus stop in sight, let alone a ghost of a cab. 

What else can I do? She wouldn’t accept any more help from the Winterses. She’d crawl back to the city if she had to this night.. 

Must I wait three days for the kidnapper to contact me again, though? How would Aiden survive the next three days?! We’ve never been away from each other as long as three days! 

Devastation overwhelmed Amanda at this point, and she thought the world had fallen on her. 

She hadn’t even felt this devastated when Elias divorced her so mercilessly four years ago. 

It was pitch-black all around, and only the streetlamps illuminated her path. 

Because she injured her ankle while jumping out of the window and showered with cold water to cut time, her head now felt woozy. 

I must’ve caught a cold… Amanda sneezed as she hugged her arms, covered in goosebumps. 

The next second, she blacked out and dropped to the ground, gradually losing consciousness. 

Sometime later, a car slowly approached her direction from afar while its headlights shone on 

her. 

The door opened, and Elias went up to her with heavy, urgent footsteps, attempting to shake her awake, “Hey! Wake up!” However, no matter how he woke her up, she was a lifeless lump. 

At that, he picked her up and put her in the back seat. Her scorching temperature made him. frown with displeasure as he cursed under his breath. “Idiot!” 

At 3.00AM, Amanda woke up groggily with a dry throat. “Water… Thirsty.. 

With that, a glass of water was brought to her mouth. She was even propped up and fed, but because she drank too quickly, she nearly choked. Cough, cough… 

“Slow down. No one’s rushing you,” said a husky, alluring voice. 

Huh? Doesn’t this voice belong to… Elias? Amanda widened her eyes and finally saw who was supporting her. 

“How did I get here… 

After realizing it was Elias, she struggled out of bed. She didn’t have time to rest when she still had a child to rescue!

“You’re not going anywhere! Where do you think you’re going with a fever?! You sure are Cludan’s number-one stepmother! Just what spell has Nicholson put you under to make you so devoted to him?! The man’s words were full of sarcasm, and his tone was sharp and acerbic. 

Amanda couldn’t help supporting her groggy head as she fell back against the bed while gazing icily at the man before her. “It’s none of your business. Move!”
