Chapter 89


    Chapter 89 Have You Ever Lied to Me?


    “It’s still okay since it’s not thatte. I just wanted to visit you because I’m afraid you might be lonely”


    Grace ced the thermal sk beside her anddled out a small bowl of porridge, intending to feed


    Elias.


    “Elias, I’ve already checked with the doctor. The 24-hour observation period is over so you can have


    some in porridge to replenish your energy. You haven’t eaten for an entire day” She took a spoonful


    of porridge and blew at it gently before moving it toward his mouth.


    However, he turned away slightly and took the bowl from her. “I can do it myself.”


    She froze awkwardly before eventually handing the bowl over to him.


    The atmosphere felt oppressive as Elias silently ate his porridge,pletely absorbed in wondering


    who had lied between Amanda and Grace.


    He stared at the woman before him. He had always considered her to be a weak girl who needed


    protection from others, cried easily, and was frail enough to be knocked down by a gust of wind. That


    was probably why Yn had asked him to help take care of her.


    Grace noticed the strange look he was directing her way and smiled slightly. “Why are you looking at


    me like that? Don’t you recognize me anymore?”


    Elias put his bowl to one side and wiped his mouth with a paper napkin. Even though he was covered


    in injuries and d in a hospital gown given to all hospital patients, he still carried a strong aura that


    made others feel threatened.


    “Have you ever lied to me?” he suddenly asked sternly.


    Grace’s heart skipped a beat. She was frozen to the spot for a long while, not knowing how to respond.


    After some time, sheughed in order to conceal her anxiety. “Why are you saying that? Why would I


    ever lie to you? I have never done that.”


    Meanwhile, she was panicking internally while wondering why he had asked that question. Does he


    know something?


    Elias kept staring at her while observing the minute changes in her expression, refusing to miss even


    the tiniest detail. “That’s good. Just answer one question from me honestly. Don’t hide anything.


    “Fine. Ask away. I will answer honestly with the best of my knowledge.” Grace appeared calm on the


    surface but was panicking inside since she didn’t know what he actually knew.


    He spoke carefully. “Do you remember the celebratory party in Flimwood four years ago?”


    There was a sh of puzzlement in her eyes as she wondered why he was suddenly asking this and


    what he wanted. Her heart sped up involuntarily.

    Has he found out something?


    Swallowing hard, she replied, “Of course. What is it? It was my first time, so I will never forget it.”


    Elias asked once more, “I was drunk rotten and couldn’t remember what happened, only discovering


    you

    were beside me after I woke up. I just want to know whether I really did sleep with you that night since I


    can’t remember anything.”


    So, he is really investigating that night.


    Grace’s breathing became uneven as her mind raced, wondering what she could say in order to avoid


    suspicion, though she maintained a submissive demeanor. “Elias, do you think I’m lying to you? Do you


    think a girl would ever joke around about this? Plus, you saw the blood on the sheets as well. That


    proves


    it.”


    “It may have been left behind by someone else. I didn’t see you when I returned but saw you after


    waking up, so I’m just wondering about how you managed toe in. After all, I was too drunk back


    then and couldn’t possibly open the door for you.” He kept studying her eyes and expression in search


    of clues. After all, the hotel footage from four years ago couldn’t be found anymore. If he had been able


    to check it, the truth would have been revealed.


    Grace was feeling frantic now. Elias had believed her after waking up to see her as well as the


    bloodstain on the bed without looking too much into it. Why was he investigating it so earnestly after


    four years had passed?


    She had been hiding in the hotel the night of the party, looking for a chance to approach him. he shone


    as brilliantly as the sun all night and she couldn’t get near him at all.


    She had wanted to find a chance to knock on the door and confess her feelings to him afterwar couldn’t


    find the courage. However. Amanda had received the news of her mother being severel early hours of


    the morning and left so hurriedly that she didn’t close the door properly.


    Grace had gone toward it and be brave enough to knock, yet she had found the door utche as


    such sneaked inside. She had burst into enraged tears after finding the mess on the bed, the smell o


    alcohol in the room, and the bright bloodstain.


    However, an evil thought had appeared inside her mind too. If shey on the bed while half-dressed,


    then Elias would mistake her for the woman he had slept with. That had been her intention and she


    carried it out daringly, allowing her to sessfully close the distance between them and be the


    person he held


    dear.


    As she returned to the present moment and watched how closely he was observing him, she bit her lip


    hard. Her tears began to fall in the next instant, making her look pitiful.


    “Elias, I know that you don’t like me, but you don’t have to use this to shame me. No girl would ever


    take her first time as a joke! Do you suspect that nothing happened between us that night and I have


    been lying to you? Fine, just continue thinking that if that makes you feel better. I acted of my own


    volition that night and don’t regret it!”


    Grace then turned and left the room in tears, looking as if she bore the me from the entire world. Her


    acting was truly skilled.


    Elias frowned deeply while watching the closed door. Grace’s act of dejectedness was enough to trick


    any man, including a rigid man like him.


    He felt his head hurt more intensely. Grace had said her piece, so was Amanda the one who lied? It


    was impossible since Amanda hadn’t looked like she was. However, he couldn’t find any ws which


    revealed. that Grace was lying. So, which one of them should he believe?


    Chapter 89 Have You Ever Lied to Me?


    Frankly, Elias was more inclined to believe Amanda. It had been four years, so she didn’t have to lie to


    him anymore. After all, she hadn’t troubled him tirelessly even once upon returning after four instead.


    she avoided him and distanced herself from him.


    Thump!


    years.


    He knocked over the thermal sk beside him, causing the porridge to spill all over the floor.


    His head hurt so badly and was filled with way too many thoughts. He had to find out exactly what


    happened the night of the party-it was extremely important to him.
