While they were walking in the corridor, George couldn’t help asking already.
Atwood was calmer than George. When seeing Amanda, he asked, “When Mr. James had the incident,
were you with him?”
Amanda said, “Yes. Since you guys arrived, I’ve gotta go now.”
“Wait,” Atwood stopped her. “You should know what happened at that time, right?”
Amanda looked at him coldly. “What’s your point? Do you hint this incidence has anything to do with
me?”
Atwood didn’t answer as if it was tacit approval.
“We’ve got some information from the scene. It was this young lady who called the police,” said a
policeman beside them.
Atwood did doubt that it had something to do with Amanda. After all, it happened to Stanford when she
was with him. Besides, Amanda had the motive.
“I’m sorry, but I...” said Atwood.
“Not necessary!” Amanda strode away.
Gorge stood outside the emergency room, walking back and forth anxiously. “I wonder how he’s doing
now. Did he hurt seriously?”
Atwood ignored him. He trotted following Amanda.
Right then, Amanda had been out of the outpatient building. Atwood saw her figure and called, “Wait a
moment, Mrs. James.”
Amanda stopped on the steps, turned around, and looked at him. Atwood trotted to her. Before he
started speaking, Amanda gazed at him coldly and said, “You just suspected me to harm Stanford
James. Now you call me Mrs. James. Atwood Barret, don’t you feel contradictory?”
Atwood lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry for misunderstanding you.”
“Not necessary.” Amanda raised her hand. “It was me who has done it. What do you plan to do to me?”
“I dare not do anything,” said Atwood.
Amanda smiled. “Since you don’t have the balls, you’d better stop suspect others at random. By the
way, stop calling me Mrs. James. I’m not married, all right?”
“You are Mr. James’s wife.” Atwood looked up at her. “Mr. James has difficulties...”
“Stop telling me anything about him!” Amanda interrupted him. “I’m not Mrs. James any longer. Please
don’t ever call me this way again. Or, you can’t blame me for being rude to you!”
“I’ve been used to it...”
“Is that all that you want to talk to me?” Amanda interrupted him. “I don’t have time to waste on your
nonsense.”
“No.” Atwood immediately shook his head and said, “Mr. James is still in the operation room. I wonder
how he’s doing now. Mrs... Ms. Nelson, can you stay a bit longer? If Mr. James could see you after
coming out of the operation room, he must be quite happy.”
Amanda was amused by his words. “Atwood, I’ve divorced him. You should know it clearly. Why should
I stay? Tell me.”
“You used to be a couple...”
“Yes, we used to be a couple. When he asked me to divorce him, did he thought about it? He killed my
baby in person, and I almost died. Atwood Barret, have you plead him for mercy for me?”
Atwood was rendered speechless.
“No matter what happens to him, it has nothing to do with me. Don’t bother me with his matter.” After
finishing her words, she walked down the steps and left.
It was pretty easy for her to hail a cab in front of the hospital because there was a large flow of people.
She found a taxi easily and went home.
Bonnie was the only one at home. She had just finished her work. Her boss was quite happy with her
report, so she had two-day off.
Hence, she took this chance to relax at home. She also bought some ingredients from a supermarket,
ready to cook today.
“Hi, Amanda.” Bonnie walked over in slippers with the kitten in her arms. “Has Jos come back?” asked
Amanda.
“He’s not working overtime today and he’ll knock off as usual. Amanda, do you want to see him?”
asked Bonnie.
Amanda raised her wrist and checked the time. It was still early. Joshua would be home in several
hours. “I’ll go to find him in his company, then,” Amanda said while turned around to walk out.
Bonnie looked at her and asked tentatively, “Amanda, has anything happened? I can tell you are quite
anxious.”
Amanda smiled. “Nothing. I just want to ask him about some trifle. You finally had a few days off. You
should take a nap.”
Bonnie nodded, watching her leave.
After closing the door, Bonnie put down the kitten, walked to the sofa, picked up the cell phone, and
called Joshua on the phone.
The robotic voice informed her that his line was busy.
Bonnie hung it up. She held her phone and waited for a while before dialling Joshua’s number again.
This time, the call was connected.
“Joshua, who were you talking on the phone,” asked Bonnie.
“Nothing. Why are you calling me? Do you miss me? I’ll go home to accompany you without working
overtime tonight. Don’t you remember?”
“Well,” Bonnie asked, “Have you done that matter?”
There was a moment of silence from the other end of the line. Joshua had just received the response
that the matter was completed. Then Bonnie called him right away. It was pretty soon.
“Ehn,” Joshua answered.
“Just now, Amanda came to look for you. Since you are not home, she’s heading to your company now.
I wonder if it has anything to do with that matter,” said Bonnie.
She wasn’t certain, so she informed Joshua ahead to get him prepared.
“I got it,” said Joshua indifferently.
“Will Amanda be mad at you?” Bonnie asked worriedly.
“It’s alright. Just stay home, good girl. I’m her biological brother. I’ve just taught Stanford James a
lesson on her behalf. She should thank me. All right. I’m quite busy. I’ve gotta go now.”
“Okay. Come home earlier tonight. I bought your favourite food. I’ll cook for you tonight.”
