Amanda no longer uttered another word as she helped the man out of the woods. The rain had subsided significantly by now.

Finally reaching her car, she opened the passenger door and helped Elias get inside.

When she returned to the driver’s seat, she noticed the man struggling to fasten his seatbelt.

It was then she realized that Elias had also hurt his arm. It should have been obvious to her that he had more injuries than one. Even the car was wrecked, so how could he possibly walk away with only minor injuries?

“Let me help you”

They were immediately close to one another when Amanda leaned over and buckled him up.

Elias could even see the fluttering of her thick, long eyelashes. A faint smile appeared on his lips then. It was as if he could only experience her momentary tenderness during situations like this.

Meanwhile, raindrops outside the car window resumed their fierce assault on the glass, creating an unsettling pitter-patter.

Amanda started to drive toward the city. She wanted to pick up the pace since Elias had sustained multiple injuries and had been drenched in rain for a considerable amount of time.

However, it seemed as if the rain deliberately trapped her here, prolonging their journey and preventing her from accelerating.

Sensing her thoughts, Elias reassured her. “It’s okay. Take it slow. I can manage.”

A surge of anger coursed through Amanda when she heard those words, and she couldn’t help but lose her temper. “What do you mean by “you can manage? Your car was flipped over and you have so many wounds. You’ve been sitting in the rain for so long. Do you even realize that your injuries could get infected an inflamed? Let’s see how you are going to manage that when your condition worsens!”

Elias had been observing her profile all along. Seeing her complaining put a smile on his face.

“Do you worry about me?” he asked.

Unaware of the peculiar look in Elias’ eyes as she continued to drive, Amanda replied in a slightly annoyed tone. “What do you mean by that? Even if a random stranger had witnessed the accident, they would have helped you. That’s called human decency! Besides, are you stupid? You didn’t report the accident immediately or call emergency services. Instead, you sat in the rain, wondering about retribution and. whatnot. Are you too bored or…”

Despite being bombarded with Amanda’s continuous grumbling. Elias found great enjoyment in listening

to her.
