The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 86 If There Are Too Many Coincidences, It’s No Longer One

Amanda’s emotions were in a mess right now.

At the sight of her hesitance, Howard laughed bitterly. “Now that I think about it. Elias not having any children may be a form of karmic retribution as well. Is it fated that the Winters Family will die out?”

“Grandpa, how can you think that? You’re overthinking this. It’s not karmic retribution at all!” Amanda was taken aback by the fact that Howard had started to believe in karma. Elias’

father’s death must have been too much of a shock to the family and made everyone lose their common sense!

“Go home. I’ll stay here for the night. Let me accompany my grandson for a while. It’s been a long time since I can look at him quietly like this” Howard’s eyes were fixed on the bedridden man the entire time.

She didn’t know what to say and could only nod. “Grandpa, call me if you need anything. If you can’t stand it, just take a break.”

“Go on. I know Howard finally smiled.

Amanda’s phone rang at that moment, causing some sudden noise in the quiet hospital ward. Quickly, she pressed on the mute button and retreated from the room. She picked up her phone as soon as she was outside. It was a call from Aiden, who probably was asking her to go home.

Sure enough, a cute yet angry voice came from the other end. “Mommy, you lied to me. Didn’t you say you will come home soon? Why aren’t you home yet? Hmph! You liar!”

“Baby, be good. Mommy is coming home now. I was delayed, plus it’s raining heavily, so I have to drive slowly.”

“I don’t care! You must have gone out alone to play without me! Hmph! I’m very angry!”

Amanda chuckled helplessly. “How about I go home now and bring you your favorite chocolate cake?”

“I guess I’ll forgive you. Come home quickly, Mommy! Luckily there’s chocolate cake or I would have gotten really angry.”

Aiden hung up immediately after that. She eyed her phone and shook her head with a smile. After all, he was still a child who could be easily reassured with cake.

She had just turned around when she saw Yacob who had rushed there and was breathing quickly. He seemed to have come to the hospital as soon as he received the message.
