Elias remained alert and slowly spoke. “It’s hard to say if he is my son. Are you trying to deceive me
into rescuing the son of you and your lover?”
He didn’t want to doubt Amanda, but the paternity test inade it difficult for him to let his guard down. He
had to investigate thoroughly before concluding whether or not the child was his.
Amanda’s heart sank at his words. She couldn’t bear to stay for another second. Immediately, she
stood up, picked up her bag, and turned to leave the office; tears streamed down her face as she
walked away. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to resist slapping this man
across the face.
Elias sat on the couch this time, watching as the woman slammed the door and stormed out of the
office. He had to investigate everything before he could determine the truth quickly. Otherwise, he
couldn’t distinguish whether Amanda’s words were true or false.
After getting up and returning to his desk, he called his assistant on the intercom. Within a minute, the
assistant entered the office, looking flustered. “Mr. Winters, you called for me. Is there something
wrong? He was busy at his workstation and was taken aback when his boss suddenly called him into
the office.
“How is the investigation I asked you to do? What is my current marital status? Am I married or
divorced?” Elias asked.
The assistant answered, “Oh, I just received a call from the relevant department. They said you’re
currently married, and if your marriage certificate is missing, it can be reissued-”
So, what Amanda said about remarrying was true? Elias cut the assistant short. “What else? Did I have
a child with Amanda? What happened before my car accident? Why did I have the accident in the first
place?”
The assistant looked confused by the questions. “Um… I haven’t found out about those things yet. And
almost no one knew about your car accident, not even me, until a few days ago. I don’t know when you
had the accident or when you woke up. As for your marriage to Miss Bailey, only a few people know
about it, and even fewer people know about the child.”
Elias’ face darkened, and he waved his hand, signaling for the assistant to leave.
The assistant had no choice but to leave the office and close the door.
Elias felt that something must have happened before his car accident-something intense. The accident
must be related to the paternity test, but it wasn’t just because of the test.
Since the accident, whenever he used his brain for too long, he would get a headache. And now, his
headache was starting again.
He opened the drawer and took out some painkillers, swallowing two pills.
Amanda wandered aimlessly on the street, not knowing where to go.
At this moment, Aiden made an international long-distance call to her. She sat on a nearby bench and
answered the phone. Aiden’s excited voice came through the phone, saying, “Mommy Mommy. I saw
Mr. Yacob! Mr. Yacob said he will play with me every day”
She immediately perked up. Yacob managed to sneak in there so quickly? He didn’t even call me to let
her brow
Maybe it was inconvenient for him to call from Lawrence Estate. “Aiden, did you really see Mr. Yacob?”
she asked
“Yeah. Mr. Yacob came to see me in my room. He said we’ll be able to go home soon, and he will play
with me every day.” Aiden replied.
Amanda couldn’t help but feel nervous. Yacob had sneaked into Lawrence Estate now. If he were
found out by Simon again, Simon would definitely kill him this time. “Aiden, listen to me. You mustn’t tell
anyone about Mr. Yacob. Do you understand?”
“But Mommy, can’t I tell Mr. Lawrence too?” Aiden asked innocently.
Amanda’s heart jumped up into her throat. She immediately stopped him, saying, “Exactly! Especially
Mr. Lawrence. You absolutely mustn’t tell him where Mr. Yacob is.”
“Why? I don’t think Mr. Lawrence is a bad person. Even though he’s stern, he hasn’t bullied me,”
replied Aiden. After these days of spending time together, he had come to believe that Symeon wasn’t
a bad person despite his foul temper.
Amanda’s heart skipped a beat. At this rate, Aiden might end up getting along peacefully with that
Lawrence guy! She patiently explained to her son, “It’s because… they have a grudge against each
other, so you can’t say anything. You got it? Be good and stay there. Mr. Yacob will play with you every
day, but anyone, or Mr. Yacob won’t be able to stay there anymore.”
“Okay, Mommy, I got it.”
At that moment, Symeon’s voice rang on the other end as he called Aiden to come over to eat. Then,
Amanda heard the man’s voice through the phone. “Why do you always call him during his mealtime?
Don’t you know it would affect his appetite?”
“It was Aiden who called me. How would I know when he’s eating?” She couldn’t speak nicely to this
man. Had it not been for this lunatic, she wouldn’t have ended up in this situation, and Elias wouldn’t
have had the car accident and lost his memory.
“You’d better cut down on the number of times you talk to him. That way, he can slowly forget about
you,” Symeon said coldly. He didn’t want to see Aiden constantly talking to Amanda over the phone in
front of him.
Amanda suppressed her anger and said, “He needs time to adjust, no? If you suddenly cut off his
emotional support like this, what kind of trauma will it leave on his young mind? Will you take
responsibility for healing him if he ends up with mental scars? It will be too late for you to come to me
then.”
There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds. After that, he hung up.
She looked at the disconnected phone and felt an inexplicable worry. At this rate, will Symeon discover
the truth? What if Elias couldn’t recover his memory… She wanted to go to the hospital and ask the
doctor about it Just as she stood up and was about to leave, she bumped into a man’s chest.
She looked up and was surprised to see Simon. “Simon why are you here? I haven’t seen you in a
while… I felt like they hadn’t seen each other in a century, and this person was almost disappearing
from her memory
Seeing her surprised expression, Simon replied with a chuckle, “It’s been a long time indeed, but you
don’t have to be so astonished. We’re not complete strangers
Speechless. Amanda forced a smile and lowered her head. She felt that Simon was the person she
owed the most to.
Simon saw her awkward expression and deliberately changed the subject. “By the way, how have you
been lately? Is Elias treating you and your son well? I believe he’ll cherish the time he spends with you
and your son this time. After all the effort he put into bringing Amanda and her child back, he would
definitely take extra care of them to make up for the lost time.
