The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 478

Chapter 478 Who Is This Simon?

After driving a considerable distance, they finally managed to lose the group of bodyguard and Simon breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Amanda in the back seat, who had fallen unconscious. He knew getting her to the hospital was now a top priority.

At that, he sped up, heading toward the downtown hospital. However, the rain was getting intensifying, seemingly conspiring to slow him down.

During this time, Simon’s phone kept ringing, displaying a woman’s name-Violet. Howeve he never answered any of them. Seventeen missed calls later, she finally gave up and didn’t call again.

Meanwhile, Elias had been anxiously waiting in the hospital, eager to return to the estate an see what had happened. However, the doctor insisted he stay put, and a nurse stationed. herself at the nurses’ station. One had to pass by the station to reach the elevator, leaving no opportunity for him to sneak away.

He kept his eyes glued to his phone, waiting for a call from his bodyguards.

Why haven’t they called yet? Haven’t they found her?

He cursed their incompetence, unable to believe they couldn’t even keep track of one

woman.

Elias was growing increasingly impatient and felt a throbbing headache starting to form. He leaned against the bed, his eyes fixed on the phone screen, feeling restless.

For some reason, he felt a growing sense of unease, as if he feared that Amanda had indeed. managed to escape.

Finally, the phone vibrated. Elias immediately picked it up, unlocked the screen, and put it to his ear. “How is it? Have you found her?”

The bodyguard on the other end of the phone stammered, “Mr. Winters, Mrs. Winters, she… she escaped from the estate through a dog hole and got into a car. We couldn’t stop her, and it seemed like they had planned it in advance. I checked the car’s license plate, and it belongs to Simon Nicholson, the founder of Justice & Associates, which means Mrs. Winters left with this Mr. Nicholson”

The bodyguard sand something else on the phone, but Elias couldn’t hear it anymore All the registered was the fact that Amanda had left with someone named Simon Nicholson

Who is this Simon Nicholson, and where did this guy come from?!

Alas, he couldn’t recall anyone by that name due to his amnesia.

At that, Elias turned grimmer by the second, and he even began to suspect that Simon mig be the man Amanda was seeing behind his back.

Elias’ head started throbbing intensely, and he felt dizzy. He clutched his head with one hand, trying to endure the pain, and asked, “Did Amanda know this Simon Nicholson for a long time?”

“We… We’re not sure about that.”

“Find it out then! What are you waiting for? Get me the address of this Simon Nicholson!”

“Yes, sir!”

After hanging up the phone, Elias lay back on the bed, his severe headache making his phon slip from his grasp and fall to the floor.

His head was pounding, and he felt like his thoughts were a tangled mess, causing him. excruciating pain.

With a painful groan, Elias pressed the call button above his head.

In a matter of seconds, a doctor and a nurse rushed into the ward. Elias, unable to hold on any longer, closed his eyes, gradually losing consciousness.

Meanwhile, Simon had just brought Amanda into the same hospital. If Elias knew how close he was to Amanda at that moment, he would have crawled if he had to, just to get her back.

The next day, when Amanda opened her eyes again, she found herself lying in Simon’s house. Since returning to the country, she had only been to Simon’s house a few times, but she remembered it vividly because of its unique interior design.

Amanda sat up and remembered the previous night’s events-how she had escaped from the estate through the dog hole and narrowly avoided being hit by a car.

Had Simon saved me?

At that inoment, the door to the room opened, and Simon, now dressed casually, walked in carrying a mug of ginger tea. He was surprised to see her awake You’re awake? Great’ Ive reheated this ginger tea several times overnight, waiting for you to wake up and drink a ”

Amanda cleared her throat and replied, “Thank you, before taking the beverage from hum

and drinking it all in one go.

As she looked at Simon, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of guilt. She owed him so much. During her four years abroad, Simon had helped her tremendously, which was why Aider had been so eager to matchmake them. But…

Suddenly, she recalled the voice of a woman she had heard when she called for help last night.

“Simon, are you…

“Hmm?” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Are you seeing someone?” Amanda asked cautiously.

Simon didn’t deny it. “Not really. She’s just someone my family introduced me to. She keep pestering me despite me telling her that we’re not a good fit. Yet, she won’t listen.”

So, in the end, Simon hadn’t reconciled with Lunabelle.

Amanda wanted to get out of bed, but Simon stopped her. “What are you doing? You ran ou in the rain last night and had a high fever, reaching up to 104°F. We just managed to bring it down this morning. What were you planning to do now?”

“I should leave; I can’t bother you any longer. Otherwise, that girl might misunderstand. She already seemed a bit confused on the phone last night.”

Simon frowned. “I’ve already told you, she and I won’t work. And you’ll be doing me a favor if you can help me get rid of her. I can’t give her a future, and I don’t want to waste her time.

Amanda had nothing more to say, but she genuinely wanted Simon to start anew and have his own happy life.

“Lie back down. Your body is still weak. How long were you in the rain to get such a high fever? And why did Elias lock you up? Didn’t you two make up? Isn’t he spoiling you now? How did things suddenly change? Did you have a fight?”

Last night, while taking care of her, Simon analyzed that the two might’ve had some conflicts. lately, or Elias wouldn’t have been so confrontational during their last encounter at the club, as if he didn’t know that Simon and Amanda were old acquaintances.

In reality, Simon was unaware of Elias’ amnesia caused by the car accident, and Amanda didn’t want to disclose it either, for if the information were spread, the Winterses might cause trouble again, perhaps even using Elias’ amnesia against him to remove him from

power

“It’s nothing By the way can you help me get a new SIM card I haven’t talked to Atden for

two days, and he’ll definitely cry if he can’t reach me. Amanda looked at Simon with

urgency.

Despite already sensing something was amiss, he didn’t confront her and simply nodded. “Alright, you continue to rest. I’ll go get you a new one and be back soon.”

Once Simon left the room, Amanda lay on the bed, feeling an inexplicable worry. Would Elias Winters let her go if he found out she had run away? Would he cause trouble for Simon?
