The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 295

Chapter 295 I Can Help You With That

After the bath, Rosie pulled Amanda to the closet room with her, so she could try on her

outfits.

Amanda finally got to see the red dress Rosie mentioned earlier. After helping Rosie to get dressed, she waited on the side.

Standing in front of the full-length mirror, Rosie kept throwing questions at Amanda. “How do I look? Will Eli like it? How do I look from the left? What about from the right?”

“Yeah, it’s perfect. You look wonderful.” Amanda gave Rosie perfunctory answers to prevent the latter from throwing a tantrum again.

“Let’s go. We’re seeing Eli. Come on. You told me he’s here, so where is he? I want to see him!”

Rosie dragged Amanda out of the bedroom. Amanda’s heart leaped into her throat as she mused to herself, What am I supposed to tell her? There’s no way I can call Elias over.

Meanwhile, Taylor was enjoying a cup of coffee in the living room downstairs, looking as if he couldn’t wait to see Amanda embarrass herself.

At the same time, Rosie dragged Amanda all the way to the living room.

She couldn’t help her excitement as she let Amanda’s hand go. Then, Rosie approached her brother. “How do I look, Taylor? Eli likes to see women wearing red dresses. What do you think?”

“Yes, you look beautiful.” He nodded his head as he set the cup on the coffee table. Then, he slowly stood up.

Amanda stood next to Rosie, but she avoided making eye contact with him.

“Can I go now? I’m meeting up with Eli.”

“Go ahead.” Taylor’s flat tone betrayed no emotion. After that, he turned to Amanda. “How are you going to end this? Mind you, Rosie is way scarier when she’s having an outbreak.”

As soon as he finished the words, Rosie wasted no time in dragging Amanda out of the villa. Her joyous laughter rang in their ears.

“Maria, you said Eli is here. Where is he? I can’t see him anywhere.”

“Maybe he’s in the garden. Let’s go look for him there. He’s been here for a while to see you, but you were bathing earlier.”

Afhanda had to make up an excuse to keep Rosie’s emotions at bay. Otherwise, she’d be dead tonight if Rosie went out of control.

Rosie walked around the villa to search for Elias, but not without dragging Amanda along. At the same time, Taylor trailed behind them. He wanted to intervene in time if Amanda was taking advantage of Rosie. Besides, he wanted to test whether Rosie’s hysteria was just an act.

The trio went to the garden, and Rosie walked around to search for Elias but to no avail. Enraged, she spun around and glared at Amanda. “You lied to me! Where is Eli? Where is he? Where is he?!”

“Miss Rosie, Elias did come. However, you were bathing around that time. He had to go after. waiting for a long time.”

“You’re lying! He won’t do that to me!” At that, Rosie raised her hand, wanting to slap Amanda.

At that, Amanda quickly grabbed Rosie by the wrist. “You know Elias. There’s no way would wait for a woman. If my words don’t convince you, you can ask your brother.”

Better throw the problem back at him. It’s his sister, after all.

Rosie snapped her head in Taylor’s direction and burst into tears. “Taylor, is Maria telling the truth? Was Eli here?”

Taylor glanced at Amanda before looking down to caress his sister’s hair. “That’s right. He was here a while ago, but he left some time ago. You’ll see him next time. He’ll be around Imperia for the time being.”

“All right…” Rosie lowered her head dejectedly as she walked back to the villa. She looked so aggrieved, as if she was a child deprived of the promised sweets.

Watching Rosie’s retreating figure, Taylor began, “Do you know who ‘Maria’ is? Do the reason why she kept calling you by that name?”

you know

“Pray tell.” Amanda barely refrained from rolling her

eyes.

Paying no mind to her attitude, he explained, “Maria was her maid who served her for years. However, back when Rosie first got sick, she lost control and pushed Maria off the stairs. Maria fell to her death. Since then, Rosie couldn’t bring herself to leave the sanatorium.”

Amanda’s eyes widened in disbelief, shock written all over her face.

So, she killed a person before. No wonder her illness is so serious. After all, she wouldn’t have gone mad just because Elias wouldn’t return her feelings.

Taylor turned around to face her before continuing, “However, I feel like she’s faking it.

Maybe I’m imagining things.

Is she faking it?

“How can you tell she’s faking it?”

He must have some evidence to say such words. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made such a bold assumption out of nowhere.

“Nope. It’s just a hunch. Maybe she’s afraid to face her sins and take over the responsibility of murdering Maria. Therefore, she acts mad to escape reality”

The answer left Amanda speechless.

If what he says is true, then Rosie is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Otherwise, one couldn’t simply fake illness for years to avoid punishment. Besides, based on her family’s influence, they can shield her from being punished by the law. Even so, she’s taking such an approach.

Amanda frowned. “Remember, with the madmen around her for years, even a sane person could go crazy at any moment.”

“I know, but Rosie’s case is different. She never asked me to take her home every time I visited her. She’s even afraid of going home. What in our home could possibly scare her?” The same question had been troubling Taylor for years. Why is she afraid of coming home? There’s only one reason holding her back from going home. She has Maria’s death on her conscience, so she’s afraid to go home.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“It proves nothing. Did you ask the doctor to run a check-up on her?”

“Of course I did. The doctor told us that she was traumatized, resulting in her having a persecutory complex, a delusional disorder, and many other diseases. I can’t remember their names. Repeating the names of the disease somehow irritated him.

Rosie’s reaction in the bathroom suddenly occurred to Amanda. Therefore, she pointed it out. “By the way, I noticed something strange. It was back when we were in the bedroom. Hadn’t you noticed it? Rosie left the bathroom with a towel around her. Judging by her usua behavior, I don’t think she’s sane enough to make herself look presentable.”

“Yeah. I noticed that as well”

Amanda narrowed her eyes. “So, you only asked me to look after her for ten days because you want me to test her, or become a trigger, so she can return to normal

“I just want to know if she’s pretending. I want to move on Taylor’s gaze dimmed at the thought

After all, Rosie was still young. She can’t hide in the sanatorium forever

After a moment of pondering, Amanda answered, “I can help you with that. However, you need to ensure my safety. I don’t want to get killed in the process, or else nobody will look after my son.”

“I understand. Once ten days are over, you will either expose Rosie’s plan or prove she is sick. At that time, I’ll donate my bone marrow no matter the result. You don’t have to worry. A promise is a promise.” Taylor’s gaze fell on Amanda’s face.
