Chapter 247 I Want to Give This to Daddy

Natasha panicked, and tears streamed down her face. "Please don't fire me, Mr. Winters. I don't want to go. I like the work atmosphere here, and I've gotten used to working here..."

"I'm not firing you; I'm just sending you to a more comfortable position. Know your chalk from cheeses."

Elias leaned back, annoyed by Natasha's sobs. He detested women crying the most. To his dismay, the young woman went up to him and begged on her knees, showing barely any humility. "Please, Mr. Winters, I really don't want to leave. I have gotten used to everything here. I won't listen to Mr. Harvard anymore, I promise. I will work diligently. Please..."

Natasha's sobs gave Elias a severe headache. Coupled with the fiery pain in his back, he became increasingly frustrated.

"Enough, just leave. Stop bothering me."

He waved his hand, urging her to leave at once. Her sobs put his head on the edge of exploding.

"Thank you, Mr. Winters." Natasha stood up gratefully. "I will work hard. Thank you, Mr. Winters."

With that, she left the office immediately.

Once the door closed, the whole office finally returned to peace, and Elias stared at the door with tightly pursed lips.

F*ck, this is like being stuck to a piece of chewing gum. No matter how much I try, I can't shake it off.

At that, he grabbed his phone and called Lazarus. After a few rings, the call connected.

"To think I'd receive your call. Has the busy man finally gotten some free time?" Lazarus boomed. He seemed to be in a bar of sorts, for the background was rather noisy.

Of course, Lazarus knew how busy Elias had been recently, so he didn't bother Elias from reclaiming what was his.

Elias snorted coldly in response. "Withdraw that actress you arranged for me. She's no longer useful. She's like chewing gum that can't be rid of. You handle it personally. I don't want to see her again." He thought Natasha's gazes at him were odd, and it annoyed him.

"What actress? Are you talking about Natasha? What, do you not plan on winning back your ex-wife?"

Elias stared at the desktop for a while and responded indifferently, "Hmm..."

"Have you changed your mind again? Well, thank goodness she didn't say yes, or she'd be abandoned again. Tsk, tsk, what a sc*mbag you are, Winters."

Elias frowned in response and couldn't help cursing. "F*ck off!"

After that, he ended the call, slowly stood up, and picked up the documents on his desk, preparing to head to the next meeting.

Two projects were about to start simultaneously, so these days were filled with endless meetings to confirm each department's duties and ensure that nothing went wrong.

Right as Elias exited his office, Natasha, who was sitting in the secretary area, stood up and nodded toward him. "Mr. Winters..."

Seeing that she was about to follow him to the meeting room, Elias looked at another secretary. "Jean, come with me to the meeting."

"Yes, Mr. Winters." The other secretary stood up and followed behind Elias, not forgetting to smile smugly at her colleagues as if saying, "Finally, it's my turn."

Natasha stood there, her face full of defiance, biting down on her lower lip.

"Aw, is someone falling out of favor? So much for being Mr. Winters' first love. The treatment isn't any different."

"Tell me about it. The way I see it, Mr. Winters has been avoiding someone lately. What's the use of being a first love? The best comes later. Men don't care about their first love; only women can't forget theirs." Two secretaries mocked deliberately beside Natasha in loud voices, who glanced at them icily in response. She wanted to retort but decided to hold back in the end. The most important thing now was to stay in Winters Enterprise, or there was no way she could maintain her relationship with Elias.

Where there's life, there's hope. No rush. I'll take it slow.

The following evening, Aiden, having returned home from school and eaten his dinner, insisted on visiting his father at the hospital.

Amanda initially thought that the little guy would've forgotten about it after one night, but who'd have thought he hadn't?!

At this moment, she had to admit the importance of blood relations. The little guy's heart had begun to ache for his father; what a loving son he was.

"Hurry up, Mommy. Daddy will fall asleep soon. By then, I won't be able to see him." Aiden rushed into the elevator, urging Amanda behind him. "Okay, okay. Why the rush?" Amanda reluctantly entered the elevator with displeasure.

It wouldn't look nice going to the hospital empty-handed. I should get some fruit and flowers. Besides, he got injured because of me.

With that, Amanda drove to a local florist and bought a bouquet of lilies, then went to the adjacent fruit shop and got a basket of fruits.

Meanwhile, the impatient Aiden kept urging her, "Hurry up, Mommy, hurry up! It's getting dark."

"Alright, alright, I know." Amanda came out with a helpless expression while holding the bouquet of lilies. She swore the little devil would drive her crazy with his impatience.

After that, Amanda drove to the hospital with Aiden, who held the large bouquet while she carried the basket of fruit as they approached Elias' ward. Lo and behold, it was empty, looking as though Elias had never been there.

Aiden blinked. "Mommy, where is Daddy?"

What's going on? Have I mixed up the room number, or have I mixed up the hospital? Why isn't anyone here?

Coincidentally, a nurse happened to pass by, so Amanda asked, "I'm sorry, but can you please tell me where the patient in this ward is?"

"Oh, you mean Mr. Winters? He left the same night."

"He left?! Isn't he supposed to be observed in the hospital for another two days? Why did he leave?" Amanda remembered the doctor saying Elias' wound needed to be observed for two days.

"We tried to persuade him, but Mr. Winters insisted on leaving," said the nurse helplessly. "We had no choice but to provide him with some medication and let him dress his wounds."

With that, the nurse walked away with a medical tray.

This is ridiculous! It was a sulfuric acid attack, for goodness sake! How could he leave just like that?! What if the wound gets infected and starts oozing pus?! Amanda felt speechless. Why can't this man listen for once?! How can he not listen to the doctor?! I swear to God, he's a man-child sometimes.

"Mommy." Aiden held the bouquet tightly and looked up at his mother. "Can't we see Daddy anymore? Has Daddy left the hospital?"

"Yeah, you heard the nurse, didn't you? He already left."

"Let's go to Daddy's home, then. I want to give him the flowers. They're for Daddy." Aiden was equally persistent.

Like father, like son, one more persistent than the other.

At that, Amanda sighed. "Must you see him today? How about tomorrow?"

"No! It has to be today. I want to give these flowers to Daddy." Aiden held the bouquet tightly in his arms.

Left with no other choice, Amanda pulled her phone out and called Elias to ask for his whereabouts. After all, he might not even be at the estate.
