The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 89 Have You Ever Lied to Me?

“It’s still okay since it’s not that late. I just wanted to visit you because I’m afraid you might be lonely” Grace placed the thermal flask beside her and ladled out a small bowl of porridge, intending to feed Elias.

“Elias, I’ve already checked with the doctor. The 24-hour observation period is over so you can have some plain porridge to replenish your energy. You haven’t eaten for an entire day” She took a spoonful of porridge and blew at it gently before moving it toward his mouth.

However, he turned away slightly and took the bowl from her. “I can do it myself.”

She froze awkwardly before eventually handing the bowl over to him.

The atmosphere felt oppressive as Elias silently ate his porridge, completely absorbed in wondering who had lied between Amanda and Grace.

He stared at the woman before him. He had always considered her to be a weak girl who needed protection from others, cried easily, and was frail enough to be knocked down by a gust of wind. That was probably why Yelan had asked him to help take care of her.

Grace noticed the strange look he was directing her way and smiled slightly. “Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t you recognize me anymore?”

Elias put his bowl to one side and wiped his mouth with a paper napkin. Even though he was covered in injuries and clad in a hospital gown given to all hospital patients, he still carried a strong aura that made others feel threatened.

“Have you ever lied to me?” he suddenly asked sternly.

Grace’s heart skipped a beat. She was frozen to the spot for a long while, not knowing how to respond.

After some time, she laughed in order to conceal her anxiety. “Why are you saying that? Why would I ever lie to you? I have never done that.”

I’m just wondering about how you managed to come in. After all, I was too drunk back then and couldn’t possibly open the door for you.” He kept studying her eyes and expression in search of clues.
