The Lawyer’s Romance in Law Chapter 500

Chapter 500 Why Did You Touch Me? 

“You still haven’t answered my question. Since you’re being so insincere, you can stay until you’re willing to tell the truth.” 

After that, Symeon glanced at the bodyguards and intended to leave.

Melissa panicked as she blurted, “Are you even human? You’re forcing two women and a child to stay in this dark and damp place!” 

Symeon stopped in his tracks, smiled, and looked back at her. “Who are you to me? Why should I care about your lives? If it weren’t for Amanda pleading your case, I might have killed you on the spot when we captured you.” 

Melissa’s eyes widened in shock as her breath caught in her throat upon hearing those 

ruthless words. 

This man was so heartless! 

“Why are you so heartless? You don’t even know who we are! Yet, you want to kill us. Aren’t you afraid of regretting it later?” 

“Regret? Why should I regret it? I don’t care who you are. I only care about the safety of my 

son.” 

After that, Symeon left without looking back. 

Melissa looked at the man’s resolute figure and couldn’t help but laugh. It was a laughter filled. with sadness. 

This man now dotes on Amanda’s son as if the boy was the most precious thing in the world. However, he was more than willing to kill his own daughter. 

Sure, it was all her fault for not speaking the truth. However, if she were to reveal the truth. she might never see Dulcie again. 

She might become just another Amanda. Symeon had taken Aiden away and driven Amanda off. The Winters‘ circumstances would befall her if she ever confessed. 

That was why Melissa was willing to do anything to drag Amanda and her son down with her. It was just to ensure that she and her daughter would always be together, but… 

Now, Symeon wanted to kill them, mother and daughter.

Finally, the day of departure arrived. Amanda and Elias arrived at the airport and entered the waiting lounge to wait for boarding. 

At this moment, he was leaning on a single sofa, resting his eyes, while she stared at him. observing his complexion. She was still worried if he could handle the long hours of the flight. 

“Is it just the two of us going? Are you sure we can bring the child back with just the two of 

us?” 

He slowly opened his eyes, “Who said it’s just the two of us? Of course, I won’t go to Lawrence Estate alone. The others have already left.” 

So, that was why she couldn’t see the bodyguards following them… 

She couldn’t help but feel awkward. So, she cleared her throat and changed the subject to alleviate that strange atmosphere between them, inquiring, “After we arrive, what’s your plan to rescue the child? Do you have a feasible plan?” 

pay 

“Of course I do. I don’t plan on forcing our way in. That’s the last resort. First, I will them a visit and try to resolve things peacefully. If the other party is being unreasonable, I have nothing else to say to them.” 

She actually thought the man made a lot of sense. 

However… 

Amanda chimed in. “Don’t take any action yourself. Please let your bodyguards handle it. Your physical condition is not suitable for violence.” 

“I’m seeking revenge for my child, and you want me to hold back? Do I look like someone with a good temper?” 

Elias was close to bursting a vessel in his fury. Just the thought of his son being forcibly kept by someone else made his blood pressure rise. So, Amanda telling him not to resort to violence was clearly an impossible task. 

She sighed wearily and ended the conversation before things got uglier. 

They didn’t wait long in the waiting room before hearing the boarding announcement. 

So, she and the man went to check in and board the plane. 

Amanda felt even more nervous after they entered the first–class cabin because she felt that returning to Aiden might not be as easy as they envisioned. She didn’t know if Symeon had caught Melissa yet.

If Melissa had already been caught, then the truth might finally come to light. 

Otherwise, this trip to Symeon’s home ground would definitely lead to a clash between Elias and Symeon. There was no doubt it would become a fight to the death where neither would back down. 

Elias, who was sitting next to her, naturally noticed that her mind had wandered elsewhere. So, he asked, “What are you thinking? Fasten your seatbelt.” 

“Oh…” 

Amanda realized that she had actually forgotten to fasten her seatbelt. 

To make matters worse, she could clearly feel that the man beside her was not feeling well the moment the plane took off. She looked up at the man’s profile and noticed that he had a furrowed brow and a pale complexion. 

“Are you okay?” 

“I’m fine.” Elias endured the throbbing headache. During the turbulent takeoff, he felt like his brain was about to be shaken out of his skull. 

The splitting headache returned, and after the plane stabilized, he immediately pressed the 

call button. 

When the flight attendant came over, he asked for a glass of water and took out two painkillers. His complexion gradually improved as the drugs kicked in. 

Amanda looked at him with concern. “Are you really okay? We just took off, and there are still over ten hours left. What will you do if you get worse?” 

“Just sleep. Don’t worry about me. You should rest, too. Once we arrive, I will head straight to the Lawrence Estate.” He didn’t want to wait for another second. Every second felt like. 

torment. 

How could Amanda possibly fall asleep? 

So, she spent her time looking at him, watching him slowly fall asleep. 

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead when he fell asleep. So, she gently wiped it off with a tissue. Alas, the man’s cold sweat didn’t cease. 

It also seemed like he was having a nightmare as he was saying some inexplicable things in his sleep. 

“Get away! Go!”

“I’ll kill you! Get out of here!” 

She watched him struggling in his dream, saying some unpleasant things. Unfortunately, she didn’t know what he was dreaming about to make him so angry. 

Suddenly, Elias woke up from his dream and harshly grabbed Amanda’s hand, which was wiping his sweat. In fact, it was the same hand that had been cut when she intended to commit suicide. 

She cried out in pain, “Let go… It hurts…” 

The man finally realized what he was doing and immediately released the woman’s hand. Then, he looked at her piteous expression as she cried in pain. 

Elias became a little angry at that. “Who told you to use this hand? Also, why did me while I was sleeping?”

touch 

“I was just trying to help you wipe off the sweat on your forehead. You really… take my kindness for granted.” Amanda snorted as she touched her wrist wrapped in gauze. Then, she snapped her head to look out the window in frustration. 

The man remained silent. Then. he gently took her wrist, examined it, and saw that there were some blood stains on the gauze. 

Elias‘ face darkened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, “Don’t touch me while I’m sleeping in the future, especially this hand. Take good care of it. Otherwise, the wound will reopen 

and leave a scar. 

“I understand…” 

Finally, he carefully unwrapped the gauze and took a look. The wound wasn’t too serious, so he felt relieved that she was fine. 

He couldn’t explain why, but he sensed his heart drawing nearer to this woman. It was so strange as he had even begun to feel his heart pang at the sight of her discomfort. Could this be the love she claimed he had for her?
