The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 249 Misunderstanding

Meanwhile, Amanda moved to the couch, watching the father and son bond. She seemed rather

unnecessary….

She propped her chin on her right hand and leaned against the armrest, watching Aiden follow Elias wherever he went with beaming eyes like a little shadow.

At that, she sighed helplessly and leaned back on the couch, finally asking. “Can you tell me now why you left the hospital on your own accord? You know full well that your injury needs to be observed for two more days, and you could receive better care at the hospital.”

Elias, who was engrossed in indulging his son with snacks, spoke slowly. “There’s too much work at the company. I can’t afford to stay in the hospital.”

“Daddy, I want more,” Aiden requested, pointing at the snacks in the man’s hand.”

“Here.” Elias took another one and fed it to Aiden.

Meanwhile, Amanda frowned with displeasure. “That’s your excuse for disregarding your well-being? Forget it. I’m in no place to boss you around. Still, thanks for saving me. I won’t bother you anymore, nor will I appear in your sight again.”

She believed it was what Elias wanted. After all, he had already made it clear in the basement parking.

Elias was stumped, and his smile froze. “Here, eat it yourself. Drink this water if you get thirsty, okay?” he said to Aiden, handing the snacks in his hand to the boy,

“Okay. Daddy, are all these for me?” Aiden asked, looking at the pile of snacks before him with twinkling

eyes.

He had the secretary get them on the spur of the moment, knowing that Aiden liked eating them.

“Yes, they’re all yours.” Elias nodded with a smile. Take them home if you can’t finish them.”

With that, he went to the couch and sat across from Amanda. “I didn’t mean it that way. This country is not mine. You can be wherever you want. Just make sure to protect yourself and Aiden in the future,” he said.

Amanda looked at the man before her. He still looked somewhat pale, likely still unwell. Well, he had been. splashed with sulfuric acid. A minor injury was already painful enough, let alone the fact that a large area of his back suffered from the attack.
