Elias did not waste a moment. He gently released the woman’s grip around his waist, calmly stating. “Please go ahead and rest. I’ll find my place on the couch.”

Grace’s face brightened instantly, and she responded with a soft affirmation. She obediently returned to her spot on the hospital bed, observing as he settled himself on the couch, and closed her eyes.

As he took his seat on the opposite couch, his mind delved into a haunting recollection of a vivid, blood- soaked scene from years past while looking at the girl sleeping on the bed.

It was a sight of unimaginable horror-Yelan had valiantly sacrificed himself, descending into a pool of blood to protect Elias. When Elias finally arrived, Yelan’s grasp on life was tenuous at best. Within that crimson pool. Yelan clung to Elias’ hand, his voice trembling as he pleaded, “Mr. Winters, I implore you, take care of my sister…”

At the grand Winters Estate.

The first rays of morning light painted the sky with delicate hues. As Amanda roused from her slumber, a surge of determination spiked through her. She slipped out of bed, exchanged her sleepwear for a fresh ensemble, and adorned herself with confidence. Today, she had made up her mind to leave this place behind.

The matter of birth control pills loomed over her thoughts. Elias had callously refused to provide them. leaving her with no option but to venture out and obtain them herself. She understood the urgency, aware that taking them promptly would prevent any potential complications if she were to conceive.

Yacob remained stoic, his expression unchanging. I apologize, Miss Bailey. I am simply following orders. I have no choice.”

His unwavering obedience, irrespective of the command’s nature, further ignited Amanda’s fury. “Im going out today! Let’s see what you can do to stop me!”

With a determined force, she forcefully pushed his arm, believing that a grown man like him would not dare lay a hand on her. However, her expectations were shattered as Yacob calmly uttered, “My apologies.”

“Hey! What are you doing!”
