The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 284 A Story From the Past

Yacob nodded in agreement and faced Elias with a grave look on his face, waiting for him to make his decision. Alas, Elias’ mind was made. “I know what I’m doing. Both of you, please just do what you’re supposed to do and don’t cause more trouble for me if you’re really serious about saving Aiden.“

Amanda and Yacob shared a look, slipping into silence as they watched Elias returning into the ward to continue reading the storybook for Aiden.

Amanda stood outside the ward as she watched as Elias expression turned gentle in an instant. He had shifted to the role of a loving father in the blink of an eye as he patiently told a story to his son as though the person who berated them earlier wasn’t him but someone else instead.

Initially, Yacob didn’t want to speak about this, but seeing how reckless she was, he had no other choice but to tell her about it. Therefore, he stole a peek at Elias in the ward and said, “Let’s talk outside.”
