Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Amanda slumped to the carpet in despair. She kept knocking on the door as she cried, but there was no response from the outside.

Aiden was having a fever while Yacob got caught. Besides, it had almost been a month, but Elias hadn’t woken up.

How did things turn out this way? She felt despair enveloping her and as if there was no escape.

Meanwhile, Symeon immediately summoned the family doctor to treat Aiden.

After giving the child a checkup, the doctor injected the boy and concluded, “He needs to rest well and drink plenty of hot water. I gave him an injection to reduce his fever. All he needs is a good rest. He should be fine if his fever reduces after a night. He can only have light meals at the moment.”

“Noted.”

After the doctor left, Symeon sat on the bed. He looked down at the sleeping boy, whose cheeks flushed from the fever.

Symeon picked up a cooling patch and put it on Aiden’s forehead.

Aiden mumbled in his sleep, “Daddy… Daddy..

“I’m here.” Symeon held the boy’s small hand, but deep down he knew that the boy wasn’t calling out to him but to Elias.

To Aiden. Elias was his only father.

A while later, Aiden started calling out in his sleep again. “Mommy, Mommy, where are you?”

Symeon’s face darkened when he heard Aiden calling for Amanda. He became angry at the thought of Amanda. It turns out her meekness and obedience are just an act.

He decided that from that day on, he would prohibit Amanda from meeting Aiden again. After all, they were bound to separate. Therefore, it was better to break off the tie between the mother and the child once and for all.
