Chapter 86 If There Are Too Many Coincidences, It’s No Longer One
Amanda’s emotions were in a mess right now.
At the sight of her hesitance, Howard laughed bitterly. “Now that I think about it. Elias not having any children may be a form of karmic retribution as well. Is it fated that the Winters Family will die out?”
“Grandpa, how can you think that? You’re overthinking this. It’s not karmic retribution at all!” Amanda was taken aback by the fact that Howard had started to believe in karma. Elias’
father’s death must have been too much of a shock to the family and made everyone lose their common sense!
“Go home. I’ll stay here for the night. Let me accompany my grandson for a while. It’s been a long time since I can look at him quietly like this” Howard’s eyes were fixed on the bedridden man the entire time.
She didn’t know what to say and could only nod. “Grandpa, call me if you need anything. If you can’t stand it, just take a break.”
“Go on. I know Howard finally smiled.
Amanda’s phone rang at that moment, causing some sudden noise in the quiet hospital ward. Quickly, she pressed on the mute button and retreated from the room. She picked up her phone as soon as she was outside. It was a call from Aiden, who probably was asking her to go home.
Sure enough, a cute yet angry voice came from the other end. “Mommy, you lied to me. Didn’t you say you will come home soon? Why aren’t you home yet? Hmph! You liar!”
“Baby, be good. Mommy is coming home now. I was delayed, plus it’s raining heavily, so I have to drive slowly.”
“I don’t care! You must have gone out alone to play without me! Hmph! I’m very angry!”
Amanda chuckled helplessly. “How about I go home now and bring you your favorite chocolate cake?”
“I guess I’ll forgive you. Come home quickly, Mommy! Luckily there’s chocolate cake or I would have gotten really angry.”
Aiden hung up immediately after that. She eyed her phone and shook her head with a smile. After all, he was still a child who could be easily reassured with cake.
She had just turned around when she saw Yacob who had rushed there and was breathing quickly. He seemed to have come to the hospital as soon as he received the message.
“Miss Bailey, is Mr. Winters okay now?”
“He’s out of danger and is now under observation,” she reported truthfully.
He sighed in relief. “Mr. Winters insisted on personally picking you up to celebrate his birthday. I didn’t think… Oh, where did you find him? We’ve looked along the road so many times but did not see any
traces”
“It’s a long story. I accidentally saw the marks of a car collision on a tree, so I took a chance and went into the woods. I didn’t expect to really find him. Amanda felt that she had been lucky since not everyone would have noticed such detail when it was raining so heavily,

Yacob frowned deeply and muttered to himself, “On his birthday, and a car accident no less. Is it truly karmic retribution?”
Those wonds again.
“Yacob, do you believe in karma?”
“I’m not so sure about it. A lot of things happened by chance. If there are too many coincidences, it’s no longer one.” He looked into the hospital room and decided to remain outside when he saw Howard inside.
Amanda opened her mouth to say something but hesitated. “If Elias wakes up, you have to call me. I’ll head home first.” She turned and headed for the lift at the end of the corridor.
