Chapter 316


    Chapter 316 Argument


    At the hospital, once Rosie’s injury was taken care of, the doctor instructed Elias, “Once the patient


    goes home, make sure the wound doesn’te into contact with water. She can’t have any alcohol,


    seafood, or spicy food.”


    “Right.”


    “Also, it will be a little itchy when the wound scabs over, but she must not scratch it. All that’s left is to


    come to the hospital and change the dressing when it’s time.”


    “Okay,” Elias patiently responded to the nurse.


    Just then, another nurse came over to pass the medical invoice to Elias. “Hi. You’ll need to pay on the


    first. floor.”


    Elias took the invoice and left.


    Once he was gone, the nurse tending to Rosie’s bandagemented, “Is that your boyfriend? He’s so


    handsome. I’ve never seen someone as handsome as him.”


    Rosie smiled blissfully. It was her first time hearing someone mistake Elias for her boyfriend, making


    her feel all giddy inside. If only it were real.


    She didn’t say anything, but the sweet smile on her face made the nurse assume that they were indeed


    a couple.


    “You should seize this chance to order him around a bit more,” the nurse suggested teasingly. “He


    looks rather stern and reserved.”


    “I wish, but I can’t bear to do that…” Rosie lowered her head bashfully.


    If Elias were indeed her boyfriend, she couldn’t possibly bear to order him around. She would be the


    one who fawned over him and worshiped his every move.


    The nurseughed. “He has you right under this thumb. You shouldn’t give in to a man so much, you


    know. As long as he has you in his heart, you can always throw a little tantrum sometimes.”


    That wiped the smile off Rosie’s face.


    It just so happened that she didn’t have a ce in his heart at all, so what could she do? The moment


    she threw a tantrum, she would have even less chance to be near him.


    Elias came back and saw that her wound was all bandaged up, so he helped her up. “Let’s go.”


    “Eli, you won’t scold Aiden anymore when you go back, right? He’s still so young. He would be very


    scared. if you kept scolding him all the time.”


    Rosie looked so kind and sweet as if she genuinely felt worried for Aiden.


    “I won’t,” Elias replied.


    Rosie froze. He’s not going to?He’s not going to care that the little brat made me bleed?


    She kept up her fake smile. “That’s good. Aiden’s a very good boy. Maybe he’s just not used to a new


    environment.”

    O


    Elias didn’t say anything.


    Back at Winters Estate, Rosie was brought back to her room and Elias didn’t stay for even a second


    longer. He turned and left right away.


    As soon as he had his back to Rosie, her innocent smile disappeared without a trace. She knew Elias


    would be biased toward Aiden, but she didn’t think he would be this biased.


    Meanwhile, Amanda had only just managed to coax Aiden into taking a nap. He had only just gotten


    the surgery and still needed a lot of rest.


    All of a sudden, the bedroom door opened.


    Amanda turned around in displeasure. She was even more displeased to see Eliasing in.


    Seeing that Aiden was asleep, Elias slowed down his footsteps. He closed the door and came over to


    the bed.


    She was seething with rage over the fact that Elias had berated Aiden until he cried, and all because of


    Rosie.


    After tucking the covers around Aiden, Amanda stood up and gave Elias a look that meant she wanted


    to talk out on the balcony.

    The two went out to the balcony and closed the ss door behind them.


    Elias knew what Amanda wanted to say, so he sat down on the chair and quietly waited for Amanda to


    lash out at him.


    He felt bad about scolding his son, but Rosie did save Aiden’s life, so he didn’t think it was right for


    Rosie to suffer such grievances.


    “You took Rosie’s words without even rifying what happened first! Or, is this your way of doubting the


    way I raise my son? Do you think my son would do such a thing?”


    This was what angered Amanda the most-the fact that Elias assumed Aiden hurt Rosie without even


    finding out what happened first.


    Elias looked down. He was silent for a while before he finally said, “Aiden has the habit of throwing


    things when his temper res up. That needs to be corrected, or else, it’ll be hard for him to change


    once he gets older.


    “Don’t even try to change the subject! If it were you, you would’ve thrown things around too! Why


    wouldn’t he be furious at the way you epted those false usations against him?”


    Elias looked into Amanda’s eyes. “But Rosie was indeed injured. I saw Aiden pushing her to the floor.


    No matter what, she did save Aiden’s life. It’s not good for him to repay her kindness with such


    behavior.”


    “What a joke! Do you think Rosie’s made of paper? How can a three-year-old boy push her to the floor?


    She was faking it, okay?! Can’t you see that?!”


    Amanda was well and truly pissed off. I knew it! Rosie’s up to no good!


    |||


    O


    In the beginning, she didn’t want to let Rosie be the donor, and true enough, as soon as she donated


    her marrow, she was starting to stir up trouble. Rosie seemed to have a good read on Elias’


    personality.


    As long as he feels guilty, he’ll show never-ending tolerance for her behavior. He’ll even let her do


    whatever she wants. Amanda felt like she was going to explode, and Elias didn’t want to argue with


    her. He didn’t think she was in the right mood for any kind of discussion. The conflict would only get


    worse.


    “That’s enough. Let’s not talk about this right now. You’re too emotional. We’ll talk once you calm


    down.” s, Elias has no clue that he had just stepped on andmine.


    “Calm down? Are you saying that I’m not calm right now? No matter how uncalm I am, I would never


    set up a three-year-old child. If this is the attitude you’re going to take, I’m taking Aiden back home


    tonight.”


    She truly didn’t want Aiden to be in the same ce as Rosie. She kept getting the feeling that Rosie


    was. going to cause trouble.


    True enough, they had only been here for a day and something like this happened already, even


    though she didn’t know what Rosie was really after.


    Upon hearing these words, Elias stood up. He reined in his irritation and said grimly, “He needs to stay


    here. It’s good for his recovery. The environment here is clean and the air is fresh,”


    “So what? The most important thing when someone’s recovering is to be in a good mood. How is Aiden


    going to get any better if he sticks around and gets framed with all kinds of nonsense every day?”


    Elias had nothing to say to that, so he took a deep breath and said, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have scolded


    him. today. It was a tense situation and he has a bad temper. I just wanted to rein it in a bit.”


    “Why don’t you rein Rosie in instead? It’s obvious that she’s here to stir up trouble. Can’t you see that?


    She purposely told Aiden that she wasing here to soak in the hot spring so that he would get


    jealous. Can’t you tell what she’s doing?”


    Amanda didn’t know what to say. He seemed genuinely unable to tell when a woman was being a fake


    b*tch.


    Elias remained quiet. It was true that he couldn’t see anything wrong with Rosie’s behavior.


    Rosic wasn’t being clingy with him. She even volunteered to donate her marrow, which was why he


    couldn’t think of a justifiable reason to get her to leave.
