Chapter 248 I'll Come to You Guys

The call was made, but nobody answered even after ringing for a long time, for right then, Elias was in a meeting with his phone on silent mode.

Amanda said to Aiden helplessly, "He's not answering. He's probably busy with something. How about we try again tomorrow?"

"The flowers won't look good anymore tomorrow, though..." said little Aiden dejectedly, looking at the big bouquet.

"Well, there's nothing we can do. We can't reach Daddy if he doesn't answer his phone."

Frankly speaking, Amanda thought it was better if they didn't meet up, for she didn't know how to face him at the moment.

She already wanted to completely cut ties with Elias, but lo and behold, Grace showed up, and Elias shielded her from the sulfuric acid attack, leaving her conflicted. Should she hate this man now or treat him like an old friend?

Little Aiden grumbled wordlessly, seemingly upset. He compromised in the end, for he knew there was no other way around this. "Okay..."

Amanda could tell that the little guy was worried the flowers would wither by tomorrow. At that, she ruffled her hair and said, "Cheer up, alright, bubba? I know how to keep the flowers fresh." "Really?!"

"Of course. When have I ever lied to you? It's still early. How about we watch a movie before going home?"

She decided she should take the little guy to the movies lest he grumbled all night.

"Okay!" Aiden instantly perked up, his attention successfully diverted.

Amanda smiled, took his little hand, and left the hospital.

After arriving at the parking lot, Amanda placed the fruits and bouquet on the back seat, then strapped Aiden into the child safety seat.

Just then, her phone rang.

Amanda froze for a second upon seeing the caller ID-it was Elias.

To answer or not to answer?

"Mommy, your phone's ringing. Why aren't you answering it?" Aiden asked, seeing that she still hadn't answered the call.

"It's your father." As much as she wanted to lie to Aiden, she still told the truth, and sure enough, the little guy beamed brightly. "Daddy?! Mommy, answer the phone quickly!"

With that, she swiped 'answer' and handed the phone to Aiden. "You answer it. You miss him, don't you?"

"Daddy, it's me!" Aiden chirped without a second thought.

On the other end, Elias' heart melted after hearing the sweet, childish voice. "Where's Mommy, Aiden?" he asked with a smile. "Why did you suddenly call?"

"Mommy said you're hurt, so we came to the hospital to see you, but you were gone. I even bought flowers and fruit. Why aren't you in the hospital?" Aiden questioned, sounding somewhat upset. "Sorry, I already left. Are you guys still at the hospital?"

"Yeah, Mommy said we'll visit you again tomorrow."

"Tell Mommy to wait at the hospital. I'll come to you guys."

"Really?" The little guy beamed. "The flowers I got you are really pretty, Daddy. They're for you. I'm sure you'll love them."

"Of course. I'll love anything you give me. Alright, hand the phone to Mommy. I want to talk to her."

"Okay." With that, Aiden returned the phone to Amanda. "Mommy, Daddy wants to talk to you."

Amanda genuinely didn't want to answer the phone, but she had no other choice at this point and reluctantly took it from Aiden. "Hello?"

"Wait for me at the hospital. I'll come to you guys right away," Elias reiterated.

"How can you misbehave like a child and even discharge from the hospital on your own accord? Don't you know you have to listen to the doctors in the hospital?"

"Let's talk when we meet later. Wait for me at the hospital."

Elias was about to hang up when Amanda heard his secretary's voice on the other end, reminding him that he had a meeting in an hour. As such, she said, "If you have a meeting later, don't come. We can visit tomorrow."

"Don't worry about it. I still have an hour in between."

"Hey, don't... don't run around, or your wound might get infected. You know what? Forget it. We'll go to you."

With that, she ended the call, not giving Elias any chance to refuse.

I'm not concerned about his well-being. I just feel bad because he took the injury in my place. However, why would he shield me from the attack? That was still something that puzzled Amanda to this moment.

Half an hour later, Amanda and Aiden arrived at Winters Enterprise, and after explaining it to the receptionist, they were ushered to take the president's exclusive elevator upstairs.

Little Aiden continued to hold the big bouquet, almost exhausting his tiny body.

"If you're tired, I can hold it for you."

"No! I want to give it to Daddy myself!" The little guy was determined. In fact, his frown resembled a certain someone's.

Amanda shook her head helplessly and glanced at her wristwatch, realizing there was only half an hour left. In half an hour, Elias would have to attend another meeting.

Ding! The elevator door opened slowly, and the mother and son exited the car, heading straight to the president's office.

As they passed the secretary area, Jean came to receive them. "Miss Bailey, Mr. Winters instructed me to escort you. This way, please."

"Thank you." Amanda nodded to express her gratitude.

As she looked up, she saw Natasha sitting there.

Isn't she... Elias' first love? What is she doing here, working as his secretary?

Amanda thought Elias had hidden his ex-girlfriend away long ago, but here she was, working as a secretary.

Then again, he would be engaged to Stephanie soon. It's likely he still remembers his first love is still here.

Evidently, Stephanie was much more attractive to Elias than Natasha.

Meanwhile, inside the office, Elias sat at his desk and received an email. He opened it and found that it contained the reconstructed appearance of the elder Allegra daughter twenty years later.

He downloaded the attached image and prepared to take a look at how Amelia Allegra would look twenty years later. Just then, the office door was pushed open, and Jean entered with Amanda and Aiden. "Mr. Winters, Miss Bailey is here," Jean announced before turning to Amanda. "Would you like something to drink?"

"No, thanks. I'm good. Please give Aiden some flavored milk," Amanda said, to which Jean replied with a smile, "Certainly. Please wait a moment."

With that, she headed out, closing the door behind her.

Elias, on the other hand, turned off the computer screen upon seeing the two.

"Daddy!" the little guy called out excitedly with the bouquet in his hands.

Upon hearing Aiden's voice, Elias smiled affectionately, kneeled, and spread his arms. "Come here. Let me hug you."

With that, Aiden ran toward his father, nearly stumbling to the ground.

Elias caught his son and the bouquet steadily. "Is this for me?" he asked with a doting smile.

"Yes, it's for you." Aiden nodded.
