    “I just thought it was too much of a coincidence. Why is it always on your birthday? It’s my fault since I


    should have reminded you not to go out yesterday-


    Elias’ eyes were filled with impatience. “It has nothing to do with you. Don’t keep taking the me for


    everything”


    “But…. I’m scared that my brother is really haunting you. Did he see that I tried hurting myself recently


    and thought you were bullying me so- Grace tried directing their conversation with a mysterious tone


    toward her brother Yn so everyone would think it was karmic retribution and his spirit had returned


    for revenge.


    As soon as she mentioned him, the ward became deathly quiet. Howard, who had been scornful,


    suddenly turned pale as he thought of something, and his expression becameplicated.


    The bedridden man suddenly snorted. “Are you implying that Yn is taking revenge on me? Why


    didn’t he just kill me yesterday? It was an amazing chance because it would’ve taken days for anyone


    to discover I had died there.”


    Elias was already tired of everything being connected to karma. No matter what happened help


    thinking about it involuntarily.


    “Yn knows I fancy you, so he would never do that!” Grace looked extremely certain.


    He was speechless.


    Meanwhile, Howard stood up abruptly while leaning on his walking stick. “I’ll get a master fortune divine


    your future. Rest well and I’lle back to visit you again tonight.”


    He then walked out with the help of his cane. The elderly man hadn’t been so superstitious before this


    bu after his son had died and his daughter-inw became mad, he had begun to believe intensely in


    those sorts of things. He started asking around for protective amulets and praying for Elias’ safety as


    well.


    Elias’ expression was freezing as he looked at his grandfather’s stooped figure before ncing at


    Grace. “You should go too. I want to rest.”


    Hey back on the bed, refusing to look at her anymore.


    “Then you should rest, Elias. I’lle to see you again tomorrow.” Her hands clenched at her sides in


    reaction to his frigid attitude, though she had to suppress the feeling.


    The man didn’t reply but closed his eyes instead, pretending to sleep. Grace was extremely furious but


    couldn’t do anything, so she turned around and left.


    It’s okay. I’ll take my time. I’m not impatient.


    Besides, she knew his temper well. He would never change his decision quickly.


    As soon as Grace left the hospital, she received a call. After looking around cautiously to check that no


    one was around, she found a corner to take the call. She didn’t expect Amanda to have arrived at the


    hospital

    at that very moment and walked past behind her.


    Amanda hade to the hospital after sending her son to kindergarten. She had just parked her car


    and was about to enter the ward. When she passed the corridor, she saw a familiar-looking woman


    talking on the phone. She nced at the talking woman for several moments before realizing it was


    Grace.


    Amanda was about to walk directly past Grace since they didn’t have any love lost between them. I


    highly doubt we’ll be greeting each other with false courtesy.


    However, as she walked past Grace quickly, she heard a strange conversation.

    “Have you cleaned everything up? Will the police trace things back to me?”


    “They won’t. Don’t worry. I have dealt with everything nicely so no matter how the police investigate the


    ident, they will only find that it was due to the brakes malfunctioning but not that it was deliberate.”


    Grace’s mouth curved into a smile. “That’s good. Leave quickly before the policee. There are no


    closed-circuit cameras along that stretch of road anyway.”


    “I know.”


    Amanda couldn’t hear what was being said on the other end, just Grace mentioning the police and


    camera footage before she left the hospital.


    Amanda muttered to herself as she watched Grace’s frail silhouette. “What did that all mean?”


    The words ‘police’ and ‘camera footage didn’t seem to have any connection to Grace and felt like


    something was being kept secret. Amanda couldn’t understand it for now and instead prepared to go to


    Elias’ ward to see how he was.


    When she arrived outside the ward, Yacob stood up at the sight of her. There you are. Miss Bailey”


    “Hi. I’m going in to see him.”


    She knocked on the door but didn’t get any response from the man inside, so she decided to push the


    door open and enter the room. However, she saw that the man had his back on her as hey on the


    bed. seemingly asleep.


    Suddenly, the man spoke coldly. “Get out.”


    She was surprised since she thought he had fallen asleep. “So, you weren’t sleeping”


    Elias cold expression turned warmer after he heard her voice and he turned to look at her, his eyes


    brightening somewhat. However, he then looked moody again. “Why did youe sote?”


    “At least I’m here. Why are youining that I’mte? 1 must have allowed such a bad habit to


    develop.” Amanda couldn’t believe this. He had said he would change his temper but that was utterly


    impossible.


    She walked toward him, nning to pour him a ss of water since the doctor had said he could only


    have water and not food. However, she noticed the half-empty ss of water on the cab which


    hadn’t been finished. Recalling that she had seen Grace who was taking a call outside, she now


    understood what

    had happened.


    Amanda settled on the chair. “I was about to pour you a ss of water, but it looks like Grace has


    already fed you some. That saves me some effort.”


    “How do you know she came?” He frowned.


    “I saw her coincidentally.” Her smile was fake and emotionless.


    Elias didn’t know what to say to that and tried to exin. “I didn’t ask her toe but she insisted on


    coming. I didn’t even tell her about the ident-”


    “You don’t have to exin yourself since I can imagine it already. She must have called the butler and


    heard what happened. She fancies you a lot, so she would definitelye to the hospital to see you.”


    Amanda’s unbothered attitude annoyed Elias and he couldn’t stand it. “Have youe to anger me?”


    “You are so ungrateful. I’m here to visit you, aren’t I? How have I angered you? If I really wanted to do


    that, why did I go out into the heavy rain to find youst night?”


    He replied after recalling something. “Oh, yes. You wanted to tell me something before I fell unconsciou


    in your car. I didn’t hear it, so can you repeat it?”


    He could recall indistinctly that she wanted to tell him something. He had tried to remain awake but


    couldn’t hold on anymore.


    She froze upon hearing that. So, was her courage in saying the truthst night all wasted? Did the man


    not hear a word of it?


    She didn’t really have the bravery to repeat it in front of an alert-looking Elias though, feeling that he


    might lose his temper after knowing the truth just like she had dreamedst night. He might even be so


    furious that he would choke her to death. Besides, it currently wasn’t the right time. She would have to


    see how Elias behaved after this..


    “It’s nothing. I just wanted to attract your attention so you could remain awake.”
