Chapter 109 It’s Me, Don’t Hang Up Yet
Why is this guy always as troublesome as a child? thought Amanda. However, recalling the slap she had received across her face, she instantly boiled with anger. She retorted sharply, “Just call the police if he’s missing! What’s the use of calling me? He didn’t come to me, and even if he did, I wouldn’t see him either! Then, she hung up the phone right away. Standing up to take a look at Selina in the kitchen, she said, “Selina, you don’t have to fix it. I’m not very hungry.”
“I’ve started cooking already. Just eat a little, okay? Or you’ll get hungry after midnight.”
“Alright then, I’m going upstairs to take a shower.” Since Selina had started cooking, she had no choice but to eat it in order not to waste the food.
She headed upstairs to take a quick shower and get changed. After entering her bedroom, she was going to pick up the remote control and close the curtains. Inadvertently, however, she caught sight of what seemed to be a black car parked under a tree out there. She walked over to take a closer look, but as she was unable to make it out in the darkness, she thought she was only seeing things. After closing the curtains, she entered the bathroom to take a bath, soon after which the splashing of the shower could be heard.
Meanwhile…
A black luxury car was lurking in a dark corner outside the villa. The man in the car was smoking one cigarette after another, his eyes fixed steadily on Amanda’s bedroom window upstairs until he saw the curtains being closed.
He had been sitting here for two hours, though even he had no idea what he had been sitting here for. After getting out of the hospital, he drove straight to Galaxy Bay. Since then, he had been here waiting for Amanda’s car to return. But now that she was finally back, he wasn’t happy at all. Is she back from her blind date? The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He felt as though his lungs were going to explode, and the most ridiculous thing was that he didn’t even have the right to be angry right now.
He called her using another number that she didn’t know. This time, nobody answered the phone for a long time. He couldn’t help but look up at the second-floor window. The light was still on. which meant she wasn’t asleep. Why isn’t she answering the phone?
At last, the phone was answered, and the sound of running water could be heard. Is she in the bathroom?
“Hello? Who am I speaking to?” Amanda’s voice rang through the phone.
Elias was somewhat afraid to speak at this very moment, though. He knew that he might get cut. off as soon as he spoke.

“Speak, or I’m gonna hang up.”
“It’s me. Don’t hang up yet.”
Amanda fell silent for a long time on the other end. After that, she finally spoke. “What’s the point. of you doing this? Why are you running around instead of staying in the hospital? Yacob even called me to ask about you, you know? Can’t you spare all of us the headache? Do you think the whole world has to revolve around you?”
It had been a long time since Elias last heard her voice, let alone heard her speak so much. He found it rather curious, even though she was scolding him. “I was bored to death in the hospital, so I came out to get some fresh air.
“Do whatever you like. That’s none of my business. We’ll have nothing more to do with each other, anyway.”
Elias let out a snort of laughter. “You just accepted me a couple of days ago, and now you want nothing more to do with me? Is that why you’ve started going on blind dates? You want to marry yourself off as soon as possible to cut off my feelings for you?”
Amanda was obviously startled for a moment on the other end. “You’re quite well-informed, ch? You even know that I went on a blind date. Yeah, I did go on a blind date. Only then did I realize there are so many good guys on Earth. It was really blind of me to have been crazy about you back then!”
“Why you!” Infuriated, Elias started coughing violently. This woman really goes all out to piss me off?
Amanda replied, “What about me? You know what, that slap from you brought me to my senses. I shouldn’t have had any expectations of you, let alone accepted your courtship! A leopard never changes its spots, and you’ll always be the high and mighty Elias. We never belong to the same world.”
We never belong to the same world? Elias nearly laughed in anger. “It was my fault for raising my hand against you last time. But you and I don’t belong to the same world? What do you mean? Don’t tell me you’re an alien?”
Amanda said, “Say what you will. In any case, let’s not stay in touch anymore. We’ll go our separate ways and mind our own business. Also, go back to the hospital and rest, will you? Or 1 won’t shed a tear if you die from getting pissed off.” With that, she hung up right away, not wanting to argue with the man anymore.
Looking at the disconnected phone, Elias started coughing again in anger, and his face turned pale as a result. He dialed her number again, but this time, he couldn’t get through to her at all. “Cough Cough…” Getting agitated, he began coughing nonstop. He wiped his mouth with a tissue, only to realize that he had coughed up blood again. This is bad. I have to get back to the hospital. Otherwise, won’t Amanda get off easily if I really end up dying from getting pissed off? Am I gonna watch her marry another guy and live a life of happiness?

Feeling some difficulty breathing, he willed himself to start the car and drive out of Galaxy Bay toward the hospital.
Amanda came out of the bathroom. She was going to the balcony to let the wind blow her hair dry, but she happened to see a car slowly drive away. Hmm? I didn’t see this car just now. Where did it come from?
Just then, Selina came upstairs and called out to her. “Amanda, the pasta’s ready to eat!”
“I’m coming!” replied Amanda before she turned back in puzzlement. The car looked familiar. She seemed to have seen it before, but for a time, she couldn’t remember when.
Elias didn’t know how long it had taken him to drive back to the hospital. When he finally arrived, he was in a cold sweat and exhausted. After returning to the ward, he instantly threw himself down on his sickbed.
Everyone thought he was missing and was still out there searching around for him.
Just then, the nurse on duty passed by the ward and found him lying on his sickbed. Immediately. she ran to tell the doctor on duty and called his family.
Soon after that, Yacob and Howard arrived at the ward together. Seeing the man dozing in bed. they both heaved a sigh of relief. No matter how long he has disappeared, it’s fine as long as he knows to come back on his own. They were afraid that he would go missing, his fate unknown, like he had during the previous car accident. “Alright. Yacob, you keep watch outside and stay close. Don’t let him take a step out of the ward again,” said Howard.
“Roger that, Old Mr. Winters.” Yacob stepped out of the ward in silence.
Howard looked at the man on his sickbed before letting out a sigh. “I know you’re suffering inwardly. You have too much responsibility on your shoulders, and you have no choice but to take it upon yourself… Sometimes, he felt really sorry for his grandson, especially now that all the burden was placed on him after his father’s death. That was why he had done everything he could to keep Amanda by his side.

Tue,
She sprinted down the stairs but suddenly remembered her pregnancy and slowed down. Clutching the test strip in her hand, she wondered what Elias Winters' reaction would be once he heard the news.
Yet, when Amanda was halfway down the stairs, she saw two figures in the living room—Elias and a sexy woman. Slowing down her steps, she held the handrail tightly and felt her heart sink. That was because she saw her husband and the woman behaving affectionately as though they were a smitten couple.
I appreciate, cause I found just what I was looking for. You have ended my 4 day long hunt! God Bless you man. Have a nice day. Bye

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100 positive. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it

It is truly a great and helpful piece of info. I am satisfied that you simply shared this useful information with us. Please keep us up to date like this. Thank you for sharing.
In the grand scheme of things you actually get a B- just for effort. Where you lost us ended up being on your specifics. You know, people say, the devil is in the details… And it could not be much more true in this article. Having said that, let me tell you exactly what did deliver the results. Your text is certainly extremely engaging and this is most likely the reason why I am making an effort in order to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, despite the fact that I can see the jumps in reason you make, I am not confident of just how you seem to connect the points which help to make the actual conclusion. For the moment I will yield to your issue but trust in the foreseeable future you actually link your dots better.
