The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 252 How Could You Treat Your Savior Like This?

"Do you feel honored? What are you being proud of?" Elias asked in a deep voice.

Dick hesitated for a moment before he smirked. "Nope, I'm just telling the truth. Amanda is my child. Her mother surely lacked the courage to betray me. Why are you asking this?"

"I'm suspecting that she's not your daughter. How could you have such a daughter with your virtues?"

When Elias thought of it, he realized that Amanda and Dick did not share anything in common. Not only did they not look alike, but they also had different personalities. In short, they did not seem like they were a father and a daughter at all.

"Mr. Winters, you are going overboard now. Amanda is my child. It is an iron-clad fact."

Elias did not bother to talk to Dick any longer and turned to Yacob. "Call Dr. Smith over."

Yacob nodded and walked out of the office lazily.

Christopher Smith was the Winters Family's private doctor and had served the family for many years. He had excellent medical skills and spoke very little, which was why the Winterses fancied him. "Hello, Mr. Winters!" Christopher greeted as he entered the office.

Elias signaled with his eyes, to which Christopher nodded and walked toward Dick.

"What are you going to do? Why is the doctor here, Mr. Winters?"

When Dick noticed that Christopher had taken a syringe and a blood collection tube, he was horrified.

"What is this? Please forgive me, Mr. Winters! I really have done nothing bad lately."

Christopher then explained, "Please stretch your arm out. It's just a blood test, so we don't need much blood from you."

"Is it that simple?" Dick couldn't believe his ears.

Yacob walked over and straightened Dick's arm for Christopher. "What's with the nonsense? You can leave once your blood is drawn. Why are you making so much noise? You're so annoying." Dick became obedient the second he was yelled at and had no choice but to let Christopher take his blood.

In less than a minute, two tubes of blood were drawn.

Then, Elias told Yacob, "Ask the driver to send him back."

"Yes."

At that, Yacob took Dick and left, leaving Christopher in the office.

"Dr. Smith, how long will it take for a DNA test?"

"A week at the earliest."

The man nodded. "Okay, then. I'll provide you with another blood sample as soon as possible."

Yacob returned to the office after Christopher left and asked curiously, "Mr. Winters, why did you need that gambler's blood? Do you want to give him a physical examination or something?"

Dick is no longer his father-in-law, so why is he so caring toward that gambler?

Elias had a thoughtful expression as he muttered, "I suspect that he's not Amanda's biological father."

Yacob, who was originally sleepy, suddenly woke up in that instant and almost lost his balance. "What?! Although it is true that she did not inherit that gambler's inferior genes, what basis is there to say that she's not his daughter?"

Elias turned the computer screen to Yacob. "Based on this."

Yacob looked at the simulated picture on the screen and blurted out, "Isn't that Miss Bailey's portrait? What do you mean?"

Sure enough, anyone who saw this would subconsciously think of Amanda.

The corners of Elias' lips curled upward, after which he said slowly, "This is based on the childhood photos of the eldest daughter of the Allegra Family who went missing. This is how she would look 20 years later. Do you think she resembles Amanda?"

Yacob was shocked to hear that. "What you mean to say is that Miss Bailey could be the daughter of Jack, that cunning old fox?"

He felt that his mind was about to be shattered. It is such a crazy world. I don't know what the situation would be like if it was really true. If Amanda is Jack's daughter... Oh goodness...

The sun shone brightly in the afternoon.

Today, Amanda intended to look at the office spaces for rent. She wanted to rent an office building at a prime location, but she did not want to spend too much money either. As a result, she had to go through a lot of hassle.

"It's not easy to start your own business..." She couldn't help but sigh under her breath.

Office buildings situated at prime locations were expensive, while the cheap ones were remote. This is really difficult.

At this time, her phone rang.

She swiped her screen to answer the call. "Hello, it's Amanda Bailey. Who is this?"

"It's me, Elias."

When she heard the man's voice, her expression darkened. "What is it? Why aren't you accompanying your fiancée to try on the wedding attire? Why are you calling me?"

Even Amanda herself was not aware that her tone was laced with acidity.

"My wound hurts a little. I'm going to get some medicine from the hospital, but since Yacob has to run errands and I can't drive, can you pick me up?"

This... Something's weird about this.

Amanda did not think too much about it and immediately refused. "Do you only have Yacob as a bodyguard? I remember that your family has many of them, so you can just easily ask one of them to send you home."

She felt that Elias was being intentional with his words.

At that, Amanda was about to hang up the phone but never expected to hear Elias' response. "No matter what, I was injured because of you, so how can you treat your savior like this?"

He did not even mention me repaying him before, and now he claims that he's my savior.

Amanda chuckled as she muttered, "But I never asked you to get hurt for me."

"You are being a bit heartless here, Miss Bailey. No matter what, I'm the one who blocked the acid from being splashed on you. Even if you never expected to be grateful to me, I'm sure you still can agree to a small request of sending me home, right? Otherwise, who would dare to fight for injustice in the future?"

Miss Bailey?

When Amanda heard how Elias addressed her, she was about to blow a gasket.

"Fine. You wait at the hospital. I'll come now!" she growled through gritted teeth.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Elias and Yacob had settled everything. They were now waiting for Amanda, so no matter what, they needed her blood to be extracted today.

If the DNA test results illustrated that she was not Dick's daughter, then it was likely that she was Amelia Allegra, the Allegra Family's eldest daughter.

Amanda arrived at the hospital about half an hour later.

As she walked toward the elevator, she couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "Sc*mbag, why can't you ask Stephanie to pick you up? Am I destined to suffer at your hands since you always look for me to settle such a matter?"

The elevator doors opened, so she just walked into it. What she never expected was that Yacob had followed her in as well.

Just as Amanda was about to turn around, Yacob covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, causing her to lose consciousness. Then, he carried her into his arms.

"Please don't blame me for this. If you want to blame someone, blame Mr. Winters. It was his idea."

The elevator doors then opened with a ding.

Yacob walked out of the elevator with Amanda in his arms and headed for Christopher's office.

After what seemed like an eternity, Amanda regained consciousness, only to realize that she was already on a hospital bed, feeling rather groggy.

"What's wrong with me..." She slowly sat up as she supported her head. Then, she saw the man standing in front of the windows.

Elias turned around and replied, "You fainted in the hospital. You have anemia."
