After a few minutes, the man emerged from the walk-in closet looking neat and composed. He seemed to be in a rush, quickly putting on his coat and glaring at her with fierce eyes. “Dare to take the pill and see what happens! I won’t spare you!”
The bedroom door slammed shut with a bang.
Suddenly, a cold silence filled the room.
Amanda sat on the bed, still pondering over the phone call the man had just received. She only caught four keywords-she slashed her wrist!
Who could’ve attempted suicide to make Elias so panic? Suddenly, she thought of someone. Grace? Did she really do that? Her face turned slightly pale, her small face filled with shock. It took her a while to come back to
her senses.
In the hospital.
Elias arrived at the hospital and headed straight to the operating room. Outside the emergency room, a middle-aged couple anxiously waited. They immediately stood up and approached him upon seeing his figure, demanding answers.
“Mr. Winters, why did you break up with Grace? Why? It’s because of this blow that she attempted suicide. When we found her, she had been lying in the bathtub for a long time, losing so much blood. We don’t even know if she can be saved.”
The woman cried insincerely while the man reprimanded her, “What are you saying? Grace will be fine. She’s lucky and strong. Nothing can happen to her!”
This couple was Grace’s uncle and aunt, who benefited greatly from relying on Elias. Now, they were going crazy knowing their niece had been broken up.
“Shut up!” Elias could not bear the incessant nagging from the couple any longer and angrily shouted at
them.
Instantly, silence fell, with only the aunt shedding a few fake tears on the side. Of course, the couple did not want anything to happen to Grace. Without her, their source of income would be gone, losing the guarantee of a worry-free life in their later years.
After an unknown period, the door of the operating room slowly opened. A doctor walked out and removed his mask.
Elias immediately approached him, asking, “How is she?”
“Had it been a few minutes later, she could’ve had excessive blood loss and died. She’s safe for now, but she’ll be under observation for a few days.”
At that, the man breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she was okay, everything was fine. Grace’s uncle and aunt similarly heaved a sigh of relief as their source of income remained untouched.

In the VIP ward, Grace finally regained consciousness an hour later. Her wrist was wrapped in pristine. white bandages, with traces of blood seeping through. Her face was pale as paper, devoid of vitality as though she had just returned from the gates of death.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the tall and handsome figure of a man standing in front of the French window. Is that Elias…Is this a dream? He’s been avoiding me these days, and I couldn’t even enter his office. How is he here in the hospital?
“Elias… Is that you?” Grace’s voice was weak, struggling to sit up. She was afraid that this was all a dream.
At that, Elias turned around and walked toward the hospital bed. He helped her sit up and placed a pillow
behind her.
“It’s really you!” She grabbed his arm, her eyes filled with tears. This isn’t a dream. This is him!
However, his words were hurtful as they came out. “Grace, what you did was foolish. No man would like a woman who threatens to commit suicide.”
Grace looked somewhat embarrassed, biting her lip, not knowing what to say.
Elias pulled back his arm and sat on a nearby chair, looking directly at her on the hospital bed. He said in a deep voice, “It’s just a breakup. There’s no need to threaten me by committing suicide. There are many things you can do in your life. Do you need a man to survive? Are you deliberately trying to make me feel guilty?”
“No, it’s not like that! You want me to divert my attention, but I can’t do it. You’re all I think about! I’ve always revolved around you. You’re my dream, and now, you’ve shattered it. How am I supposed to
accept that?” Grace cried with a sense of grievance,
She needed to vent, to express herself, and she might go crazy if she continued to suppress her feelings. She did not wish to give up on him after waiting for so many years! I just can’t!
“Then, learn to accept reality.”
His voice was cold and ruthless, leaving her no trace of hope.
Tears could not resist flowing from her eyes, skating down her cheeks and onto the blanket. “Are you suddenly so heartless because you discovered about the child?”
It must be because he found out about him. Otherwise, why does his attitude change so drastically?
Elias frowned slightly, his pitch-black eyes filled with confusion. “What child?”
Grace was taken aback. How can Elias not know? “The child by Amanda’s side. Didn’t you break up with me. because of that child?”
He did not react much, feeling disdainful inside. It was probably Simon’s son again, and Grace misunderstood and thought it was Amanda’s child. “Grace, that child has nothing to do with us. Besides, he’s not mine.”
She looked puzzled and started to doubt in her mind. The paternity test confirmed that the child is Elias” biological son. Does he not know about the child’s existence? This child is truly a trump card. Why hasn’t Amanda told

Elias? What is she thinking? She could not understand Amanda’s intentions.

He continued. “Also, don’t mention that child to me again. He has nothing to do with me.” There was a strong sense of disgust in his tone as if he truly detested that child’s existence.
Is he completely unaware?
“You rest well. I’ll come to see you again tomorrow. Don’t do anything foolish. I don’t like it,” Elias said as he stood up, preparing to leave.
Grace quickly threw off the blanket and removed the IV needle from her hand. Then, she hopped off the bed and hugged the man’s tall figure from behind. “Don’t go, Elias! Stay with me. I’m really scared.”
“Scared of what?” He stood still, his tone icy.
Her eyes darted around as she deliberately mentioned her brother. “I’ve been having dreams about my brother these days. I dreamed that he was covered in blood, calling me for help, but I couldn’t save him. I was terrified.”
Needless to say, Elias would always fall silent whenever Yelan was mentioned, agreeing to whatever sh asked for. It had always been the case.
She felt anxious because she was unsure if it would work this time. After all, his attitude was firm. indicating a complete desire to cut ties with her.
Sure enough, the man fell silent again. He remained quiet for a long, long time.
