The Barrister’s Love in Town ( Elias Winters & Amanda )

Chapter 102

Chapter 102 Why Is She Suddenly Like This?

On the contrary, the atmosphere inside the car was tense throughout the journey.

Yacob was too terrified to speak up as Elias repeatedly played the surveillance footage in the backseat. Then, Elias carefully observed every subtle expression on Amanda’s face before she entered the house. She seems angry. Why is she so furious?

In the meantime, he went directly to the ward upon his arrival at the hospital. After the wound was attended to, Grace was admitted for observation. He could hear her sobbing as he approached the door. “Doctor, can I recover from this? If I don’t get better soon, my career is over. I don’t want that-”

“Miss Murphy, please calm down. Your agitation could cause the wound to reopen. We will do everything possible to improve the follow-up treatment plan, but you will unlikely recover completely.”

“What? How can this be? Isn’t your hospital the best at treating scars? Are those advertisements an elaborate hoax?”

“Miss Murphy, please calm down. Look, your wound has already reopened. It will affect your

recovery.

Soon, the room’s noise volume rose sharply, and the door swung open. Grace’s sobbing stopped as she stared at Elias, who had just entered the ward.

“You can leave first,” he said to the doctor.

After hearing this, the doctor quickly exited the ward, and Yacob quietly closed the door from

outside.

After that, Elias walked to the bedside and was shocked by her appearance. How did she get injured like this? He saw a deep wound on her fair arm and a long scar on her cheek covered with blood- stained gauze. He knew the wound on her cheek would inevitably leave a scar and likely end her career in the entertainment industry. After all, the entertainment industry was heavily reliant on

appearances.

“Elias… I don’t want to be like this. I want to be my old self. I don’t want this- She grabbed the man’s arm, crying in pain. Her suffering wasn’t feigned, but rather, it was genuine. After all, she had ruined her own face. Aside from being concerned about her future in the entertainment industry, she was also concerned that he would dislike her. She was well aware that all men were naturally lustful about appearances….

Grace started to regret her impulsiveness. Why did I slash my cheek so ruthlessly? Even so, I know Elias won’t care if I’ve hurt other parts of my body. Then, she clung desperately to his arm, crying and screaming in agony. She eventually kept wailing for a while until he became impatient.

“What happened? Why did Amanda hurt your face like this? What happened between you two?” he asked. Why would Amanda commit such an act? I find it hard to believe she would be so vicious. Furthermore, as a lawyer, wouldn’t she be aware of the consequences of such actions, especially with surveillance cameras present? Such a malicious act could result in imprisonment.

Then, she stifled her voice and sobbed through her words. “I don’t know why she did this. As soon as she entered, she started hitting me. I feel like she has gone crazy! She has been blaming me for your

divorce, and she even claimed that her child wouldn’t have died four years ago if it weren’t for me! Then, she kept hitting me and accused me of seducing you and bewitching your mind. She accused me of being a vixen and said she planned to disfigure me so I could no longer seduce you…” She displayed exceptional acting skills while fabricating a story about Amanda’s mental instability. Moreover, all that mattered to her was establishing herself firmly in Elias” affections.

Elias’ dark eyes were filled with astonishment upon hearing this. How could Amanda do this? Then. he asked, “Why did she suddenly act like this?” Nevertheless, it’s true that four years ago, Grace was the reason I divorced Amanda and cruelly abandoned her, leading to the death of her unborn child, but….

“I don’t know either, Elias. I’m so scared. I feel like she has truly gone insane. She has gone as saying she wants to tell you that the child is alive, but she won’t tell you where the child is that you’ll be tortured forever without ever being able to find the child-While Grace was talking, her eyes darted nervously as if she were afraid he would catch on to her fibbing.

“That’s impossible! The child was aborted four years ago. She has already told me!” he said, pushing the woman on the hospital bed away. The Amanda she describes sounds like someone who has completely lost their mind. From what I saw yesterday. Amanda seems fine and completely normal. How did she have a mental breakdown out of the blue and start acting so irrationally?

After hearing his remark, she hysterically shouted at the man. Then, why did she treat me like this? Do you think I’m lying to you? Didn’t Yacob show you the surveillance footage? She came to my house on her own accord, and as soon as she entered, she started hitting me, cursing at me, and eventually using a fruit knife to ruin my face! Do you think I’m stupid enough to slash my own face? I’m still a celebrity! How can I survive in the entertainment industry like this?” After speaking, she broke down mentally and cried out loudly, filling the entire hospital room with her pitiful wails.

Elias remained silent upon hearing this. I had viewed the surveillance footage and can confirm that Amanda struck Grace in the face when the door opened. Still, I don’t get why Amanda would do this or why she would have such a sudden and intense dislike for Grace. Even if Amanda’s suffering from those years ago was directly attributable to Grace, I am no longer in a relationship with her. So, why…

Then, Grace grabbed his arm tightly and said, “Amanda also stated that she wishes to sully your memory of me. She wants to tell you that the car accident was also caused by me. Elias, don’t believe her. Please don’t believe her… How could I harm you? How could I cause a car accident to kill you? This woman has truly gone insane!”

However, he took one look at the bloodied bandage on her cheek, frowned, and then walked

away.

“Elias! I beg you not to believe her words. I had no idea what happened four years ago, nor was 1 aware that you had a child together. If I had known, I wouldn’t have let you divorce her- She knew this was her last chance, so she wailed at the man’s indifferent back. As soon as Elias was out of sight, her sobbing stopped, and she wiped away her tears. Ha… I’ve already inoculated him against Amanda’s words, so I don’t think her words would affect him. I don’t think he’ll just brush this off because he’s always felt bad about me and my brother, especially note that my face is ruined. Then, she looked at the tightly closed door and whispered, “Yelan, please watch over me through this trial. Otherwise, I won’t have another chance anymore. I can’t lose Elias…
