The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 174 Who Said I Have to Take Care of You?

“Grandpa, Elias joined us on a camping trip and got bitten by a snake. I’m terribly sorry. I had no idea there were snakes in that area…” Amanda’s heart sank, weighed down by guilt. After all, Elias was Howard’s beloved grandson, a treasure in his eyes.

“Well, things happen. Don’t fret. It’s just a minor inconvenience to endure for the sake of his woman and child,” Howard reassured, his voice carrying a soothing tone. As long as Elias could reconcile with Amanda and bring their child back to the Winters Family, this minor injury would seem insignificant.

She stood there, momentarily stunned, as Howard took Aiden’s hand without delay, addressing her directly. “Amanda, take care of Elias. After all, he got injured because of you. I’ll take care of the child in your absence. Is that agreeable?”

“1” Before she could utter a word, he had already taken Aiden’s hand, ready to depart, completely unaware of the purpose of his visit.

“Aiden, would you like to come and play with me? My house is a big playground!”

“Okay! Let’s go, Great-Grandpa!” Aiden’s face lit up at the mention of something fun, eagerly clutching Howard’s hand and leading the way to the door.

Amanda was left speechless. This little brat only cares about playing.

With Howard and the kid gone, she and Elias found themselves locked in a silent gaze. “Let’s go. I’ll help. you find a wheelchair,” she offered, breaking the silence.

However, he promptly rose to his feet without hesitation. “No need. I’m not that delicate.”

Defiantly, he started walking toward the door, but she swiftly caught hold of his arm. “Didn’t you hear what the doctor said? They told you not to exert yourself too much. Why are you so stubborn?”

“The doctors enjoy scaring people like you, who are easily frightened. The wound has been treated, so it’s not as serious as you think,” he countered, determined to push forward.

With his long strides, he attempted to proceed, but Armanda walked beside him, draping his lengthy arm. around her shoulders, bearing his weight on her slender frame. “Forget it. I’ll support you,” she muttered, her mood tinged with annoyance.
