Chapter 408 Your Child Is in My Hands
Yacob watched as Aiden threw stones at the fish in the lake in the distance who looked just
like a mischievous child, but it seemed like he was trying to get the attention of the adults.
Yacob had been by Elias’ side in the hospital for the past few days and he had almost
forgotten about this little guy.
He walked to the edge of the lake and looked at the sulking Aiden before asking, “Doesn’t
it hurt the fish when you throw stones at them?”
Aiden turned around and glanced at him, snorting, “If it hurts, they’ll avoid it.”
“Do you want to see your mommy?”
“Hmph! Mommy and Daddy are both bad people. They haven’t come to see me for days
and just left me here. They’re all bad!”
It seemed like Aiden was furious. Yacob squatted down and straightened Aiden’s
shoulders, making him look directly at him..
“Listen to me. Your mommy and daddy didn’t do it on purpose. Something big happened
these past few days, and they couldn’t come. Do you understand?”
Yacob’s expression was extremely serious, as if Aiden could really understand what he was
saying.
“What happened?”
“I can’t tell you now. Wait a few more days and your daddy will come to see you. Besides,
this estate is so big. There’s everything here. You can do whatever you want. If you have
any requests, you can tell the butler, alright?”
“Adults are always like this. You are always lying to me! Hmph!” Aiden shook off Yacob’s
hand and ran in Boris’ direction.
Yacob felt a bit helpless, but he couldn’t directly tell him that Elias was in a coma from a
car accident.
Then, he instructed Boris, “Take good care of Mr. Aiden. Feed him and put him to bed on
time.”

At the Sacred Heart Villa, a bodyguard brought a detailed report to Symeon. “My master,
we found out that the woman who was tracking you before also stayed in Esmos for four
years. She also spent time at the Pleybia Hospital and seems to know Amanda.”
Symeon glanced at the report, which detailed the woman’s name as Melissa Walters and
was unemployed. -in Esmos, but she owned quite a few assets.
She knows Amanda?
That would explain why this woman was tracking him. Was it at Amanda’s behest?
Although he still couldn’t figure out what was going on, he ordered, “Continue to track this
woman and see what she’s up to.”

“Yes, my master.”
Symeon then asked, “What about my son? Is he still at the Winters Estate?”
Up until now, he still believed that Amanda’s child, Aiden, was his.
The bodyguard replied, “Yes, he hasn’t come out at all, and it’s strange that Elias and
Amanda seem to have disappeared as well. We haven’t seen them for days. Lasked
around, but Elias hasn’t gone to the company
either.”
Both of them disappeared? But Aiden’s left at the Winters Estate…
This piqued Symeon’s curiosity, but he didn’t pay much attention to it. He just wanted to
take Aiden away. “Design a reasonable plan as soon as possible to bring the child out of
the estate.”
“We’re working on it. Don’t worry. The bodyguard nodded.
At the same time, Melissa was hiding in a run-down motel to escape the pursuit of those
people.
She couldn’t help but recall the images of Elias covered in blood.
She didn’t know if he was dead or alive. She knew she had hit him hard and it was a
violent impact that was difficult for a human to withstand.
She had been hiding in this motel for a few days and didn’t dare to go out. She had long
abandoned her car on the outskirts.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated. Melissa glanced at it and saw that it was a call from her
mother in Esmos.
She answered the phone, and her mother’s voice came through, “When are you coming
back, Melissa? Strange people have been asking the neighbors about your personal life
the past few days. They almost found out about your daughter. Luckily, I happened to be
there and stopped the neighbors from revealing this. I’m afraid these people are from the
Lawrence Family and want to take away your child.”
Melissa’s heart skipped a beat. It must be Symeon’s people investigating.
She didn’t expect them to be so fast.
She had to get Symeon to take Amanda and Aiden away as soon as possible; otherwise,
they would eventually find her.
“Mom, take Dulcie and stay at the other house for a few days. I’ll finish things here and
return. I’ll be back soon. Just wait for me.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for you.”
However, Melissa couldn’t help but remind her, “Mom, don’t let Dulcie talk to strangers.
You do the same.”
“I understand,”
After hanging up the phone, Melissa fell into deep thought while feeling anxious and
restless.
She had already strayed too far down the wrong path, and there was no turning back now.
She had to go

all out and prevent Symeon from finding out about her.
By then, it wouldn’t just be about taking Dulcie away as it would take her life.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnother three days passed, and Elias still showed no signs of waking up in the hospital.
Amanda’s mood lowered with each passing day. She had said everything she could, but he
still refused to wake up. She felt a sense of despair.
When the doctor came for rounds in the morning, he said that Elias was slowly recovering,
but they couldn’t tell her when he would wake up.
“Would he not wake up and become a vegetable?” Amanda asked.
The doctor sighed deeply. “Mr. Winters suffered severe injuries, especially to his head. If
he never wakes up, it’s possible that he could become a vegetable. But we can’t rule out
the possibility of him waking up. It’s hard to tell when he’ll wake up.”
Amanda’s heart sank into an abyss after hearing that.
After the doctor and nurses left, she stood rooted to the spot for a long time, unable to
recover her senses as tears once again fell from her eyes.
She looked at Elias lying on the hospital bed as her voice choked, “Please, wake up. Even
though I know you’re tired and in pain, you must wake up…”
She held his hand and hoped that he could hold her hand tightly like he usually did, but
there was nothing. Nothing at all.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated. Amanda took out her phone from her bag and glanced at it.
It was an unknown number. She didn’t want to answer it, but she was afraid that it might
be someone from the Winters Family.
She answered the call and put the phone to her ear. “Who is this?”
“Mommy! Where are you?”
“Aiden? Whose phone are you using to call me?”
Amanda was slightly startled before realizing that it was Aiden. But why is he using a
stranger’s phone? Is this the maid’s phone?
On the other end of the phone, Aiden was very happy. Mommy, a pretty lady said she
wants to bring me to find you.”
Amanda’s heart skipped a beat and her face changed.
Pretty lady…
“Aiden!”
Just as she called out his name, the voice of a woman replaced Aiden’s voice on the
phone, “Your child is in my hands. If you want to see him, follow my instructions.”
