Chapter 83 Be Good and Listen to Me, Okay?
“Elias? Elias! Where are you? Can you hear me?!”
Amanda held her umbrella and looked around while shouting, hoping the man could hear her.
It was perplexing to her how the car had overturned in the woods, but the driver was nowhere to be found.

Amanda couldn’t quite understand what had happened at that moment. How can the car be so wrecked while the driver has disappeared? Did a kind passerby rescue Elias and take him to the hospital? That seems to be the most logical explanation. After all, a person can’t just vanish into thin air, right?
With that thought in mind, Amanda abruptly turned around, intending to drive to the hospital and look.
for Elias.
Perhaps Elias was lying in the hospital right now, which was why he hadn’t been answering the phone.
“Ah!”
Amanda tripped and stumbled because she was in such a hurry. Fortunately, she grabbed hold of a nearby tree. She would have fallen onto the muddy ground otherwise.
However, it was this stumble that allowed her to spot a figure in the distance amidst the darkness.
When she saw a shadow leaning against a large tree in the distance, she shone her flashlight in that direction and shouted, “Elias? Is that you?”
She wasn’t entirely sure, but she couldn’t resist the urge to go and take a closer look. With that, she started approaching that figure.
As she approached, she realized that it was indeed Elias.
He was currently leaning against the tree trunk with blood pouring down his forehead. His head seemed injured, but his eyes were empty as they looked ahead soullessly.
“Elias? What happened to you? Say something! What are you doing here all alone? Why didn’t you answer the phone? If you had an accident, why didn’t you call for help? What’s going on with you?”
Amanda suddenly felt anger welling up within her. Just what is this man doing?
Everyone was worried about him searching for his whereabouts, and here he was, hiding without answering any calls despite looking as awake as ever.
Elias’ clothes were soaked through, and his disheveled short hair gave him a touch of wildness, especially in such a primitive environment.
When he finally showed a reaction, he glanced at her indifferently and breathed, “If only I died.”
Thinking she had misheard, Amanda couldn’t help but widen her eyes.
She couldn’t believe that she was hearing such pessimistic words from him. What is going on? Did he hit his head too hard? Is it a concussion?

“What are you talking about? It’s just a car accident. It’s not a big deal as long as you’re okay. Why would you have such thoughts? Do you think it would be better if you died? People can only dream of being you. and yet you want to die!”
Amanda crouched down and covered Elias from the rain with her umbrella. She noticed how the man exuded an air of desolation when she saw his handsome but pale face and his lips which were devoid of color.
Surprisingly, he put on a despairing smile and began slowly. “Do you believe in karma…”
Karmal’ Amanda was confused. Why is he bringing that up out of nowhere?
“I don’t understand what you mean.”
“Do you remember what I did to you four years ago when you celebrated my birthday?” Elias voluntarily brought up his birthday four years ago.
It would have been better if he hadn’t mentioned it, as Amanda couldn’t help but get angry. However, she let it slide at the sight of Elias in such a pitiful state.
She asked in return, “Yeah. What about it?”
