The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 448 You Actually Hit Me for Her

Tdidn’t say anything, and I don’t know why he turned out like this. Who do you think you are to slap me? When he was in the hospital needing care after the accident, where were you then? Now that he’s regained consciousness, you come swooping in. You’re the most shameless one around here!” Rosie roared at Amanda in anger.

Slap! Amanda delivered another sharp slap across Rosie’s face.

“You know nothing! What’s all this yelling about? Let me make this clear-if anything happens to Elias, you won’t get away easily!” Amanda retorted fiercely.

“Enough, Amanda! If you slap her again, I won’t stand by! Taylor intervened, firmly gripping Amanda’s arm. He had witnessed his sister being slapped twice, yet he couldn’t bring himself to raise his hand against a woman.

Amanda glared at him angrily. After breaking free from his grasp, she walked toward the direction of the ward without looking back. She was determined to find out what was afflicting Elias.

With a completely puzzled expression, Rosie stood in place as she watched Amanda storm off

“Taylor, why did she slap me? What right does she have to hit me? She was the one who abandoned Eli when he was unconscious. What gives her the right now?”

Taylor remained silent. Instead, he looked at her swollen cheek and said, “Tll fetch an ice pack for you.” As he walked away, Rosie inexplicably burst into laughter. The stillness of the hospital corridor only amplified the eerie undertone of her laughter.

I want to see if Elias will still be interested in Amanda after finding out all of this!

Inside the ward.

Amanda sat by the bed, watching the sleeping man. He looked pale, and his brows furrowed. It was as if he was having a nightmare.

She held his hand and noticed his furrowed brows gradually relaxing.

In his current state, she couldn’t muster the courage to discuss Aiden’s situation with him. Furthermore, Elias’ injuries were far from fully healed. Considering a flight of several hours was unrealistic because he might faint halfway.

After an indeterminate period, Elias finally woke up. Slowly, he opened his deep, dark
