Chapter 10


    Chapter 10 Come At Me With Your Grievances


    Outside the emergency room at the hospital, Amanda waited by the bench on the side. Suddenly, a


    series of rushed footsteps echoed in the hallway, prompting her to look up and see Elias approaching


    her. He had a gloomy expression and barked, “What did you do to her? She has a heart condition!”


    Huh. Such unconditional trust for Grace. He doesn’t even know the whole truth, and he’s already


    using me of provoking her. “Why don’t you ask why your girlfriend woulde to my office and


    cause such amotion during working hours?!” She had had enough and was fed up with these two,


    but Grace just had to show up at her doorstep! At that moment, the ER door opened, emerging a


    doctor who asked, “Family of Grace Murphy?” Elias went forward. “How is she?” “She has congenital


    heart disease and might’ve been triggered, causing her emotion to surge and eventually faint. I’ll keep


    her for two nights and observe her situation. Remember, do not trigger her again.” Once the doctor left,


    Elias furiously turned to re at Amanda. “What else do you have to say? What exactly did you put her


    through?” “You can ask your lover once she wakes up.” She turned and was ready to leave. Moreover,


    how could she have known that Grace had a heart condition? Whye to myw firm stirring up


    trouble if her heart can’t take it? “Ahh—” Just as she turned around, she was tugged back and pressed


    onto the cold wall. The man’s long fingers pinched her chin while he screamed, “You cane at me


    with your grievances, but don’t provoke Grace! Her condition can’t handle it!” When her body mmed


    into the wall, she felt immense pain in her back. “Elias, how dare you use me of provoking her when


    you don’t even know what happened? Let me reiterate that she was the one who appeared at my


    office. I’m not the one harassing her!” “What was she there for?” He stared into her eyes while


    questioning. “To shove money in my face so that I’ll stay away from you! Do you think I was provoking


    her now? Be a man to your woman so that she’ll stop interrupting my work!” She pushed him away and


    stormed out of the hospital. The solemn man sent a heavy punch into the wall. … Inside the VIP ward,


    when Grace opened her eyes, she saw Elias’ back while he stood before the French window. Smiling,


    she called out to him weakly, “Elias…” When he heard that, he turned around and approached the bed.


    “Amanda and I are divorced, so you have no reason to confront her.” She was taken aback. “Elias…N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    I’m sorry. Are you mad at me?” He seemed displeased. “What do you think? Don’t you know about your


    condition better than anyone?” “I just don’t want you to contact each other anymore, but Amanda said


    she wants to get back with you and pester you. She wants to break us up. That’s why I was so worked


    up…” “That’s impossible,” Elias denied. Grace was shocked because she discovered that he had


    subconsciously believed in Amanda over her. She struggled to get up and acted like she was looking


    for something but was too weak to do so. Pushing her shoulders down, he asked, “What are you trying


    to do?” “Do you think I’m lying? I have a recording as proof! Amanda said those words herself and


    vowed to use Old Mr. Winters to aplish her goal of getting back with you!” She grabbed her bag


    and took out her phone before ying the recording. She had expected Amanda’s reluctance to take


    the money and disappear, so she recorded their conversation in advance. With a skeptical attitude,


    Elias watched as she yed the recording of their conversation, especially the part where Amanda


    said, “So what if I am? If I win his heart, I can still get the extremely wealthy Winters Family. Why would


    I be interested in that 1.5 million you’re offering? Take your card and scram! Elias can pamper you all


    he wants, but I have no obligation to spoil you!” His expression altered slightly as he frowned in


    displeasure. Then, she embellished the matter. “Did you hear that? That’s what Amanda said! I wasn’t


    telling lies!” Without saying anything, the man frowned deeply, lost in thought. Did Amanda return to


    remarry me and get back her ce as Mrs. Winters? … Back at Lotus Waterfront, Amanda returned


    home after a busy day but could not find her son anywhere in the room. When the nanny saw her, she


    greeted Amanda. “Miss Bailey, I’ll get going since you’re home.” “Where’s Aiden? Why don’t I see him


    anywhere?” “Aiden is in his room, making a call, and he doesn’t want me to listen. Your child is so


    adorable. He’s like a little adult,” the nannymented happily. Amanda could not hold back her smile


    either because her son indeed liked pretending to be a grownup. When she approached Aiden’s room,


    she heard his cute voice saying, “Uncle Simon, I missed you!” Uncle Simon? Is that little brat on the


    phone with my boss? Pushing the door open, Amanda saw Aiden, hiding in the corner with the phone,


    suddenly spring to his feet and quickly dash toward the balcony with his phone. While running, he


    yelled, “Mommy, don’t take away my phone. I wanna talk to Uncle Simon!” She was rendered


    speechless as she wanted to stop Aiden from disturbing Simon’s time. It was already tiring for him to


    work the whole day and still have to make time to chat with the little brat. Since the phone was on


    loudspeaker, they heard a man’s gentle and low chuckle. “Aiden, be good and give your mommy the


    phone. I need to speak with her.” The child pouted and muttered, “Alright. To let you and Mommy bond,


    I’ll put up with it just this once.” Boy, what? Is it just me, or my baby knows a little too much? Aiden


    proffered Amanda the phone. “Here, Mommy. Uncle Simon wants to talk to you.” She felt resigned and


    ced the phone to her ear. “Mr. Nicholson.” “Your son calls me ‘Uncle Simon,’ but you call me ‘Mr.


    Nicholson.’ Do we have to be so estranged?” The man’s voice from the other end was attractively


    gentle. She smiled. “Aiden’s young and insensible. Don’t mind him. He just dreams to have a father


    figure in his life.” Sometimes, she felt sorry for her baby, always having to admire other children for


    having fathers. A low chuckle came from the speaker. “I think Aiden’s quite sensible. He knows you’re


    having a hard time caring for him, so he wants to get a father to help you.” When the man described it


    that way, Amanda felt warm and inexplicably touched. That brat is indeed obedient, but sometimes he’s


    a pain in the butt. “You’re right. My son is quite sensible.” She chuckled. “How are you coping over


    there? I still have two months of work here. You can ask me for anything.” Simon was the real boss


    behind Justice & Associates. Moreover, she was content enough to be able to join the country’s topw


    firm right after returning, so she could not ask for anything more.
