Chapter 278 Amanda’s Emotional Breakdown
In that instant, it was as if the whole world went silent while Amanda simply stared at Elias without any other response. However, her tears began rolling down her cheek from her eyes. At the same time, the man sank onto the couch in a dejected manner with his head lowered in defeat as he clenched his fingers. tightly around his cell phone like he was about to crush it.
“No! How is it possible that there isn’t a suitable match out of so many people? How can that be?!” Amanda wailed in despair, finding herself on the verge of an emotional breakdown. No, that’s impossible! How is there not a suitable match for Aiden even after so many people from the Winterses and the Allegra Families went for the compatibility test?!
In the meantime, Elias only closed his eyes helplessly, asking himself the same question that Amanda did. to herself. He then began to wonder who else had not done the compatibility test until his mother came to his mind. What about my mom? But… Is she going to cooperate? At the thought of his mother’s mental condition, Elias had doubts about her willingness to cooperate even if she was discovered to be a suitable match for Aiden.
Amanda was at her wits end as she seized Elias’ arm and cried, “Think! Do something! My baby’s condition can’t go out like that without a suitable donor. How long is their search going to take? I don’t want my baby to wait that long!”
“I’m figuring out a way, Amanda. Just calm down.”
“Hurry up, then! My boy can’t wait much longer!” Amanda sobbed uncontrollably, refusing to let Aiden waste any more time waiting for a suitable donor. Deep down, she wished she could just donate her own. bone marrow to her son but was dismayed by the fact that the child had to wait for someone with compatible bone marrow.
Soon, Aiden, who was eating a cake, heard Amanda’s cry and came scurrying, whereupon he shoved Elias away and shouted angrily. “Why are you bullying Mommy, Dad?! Look what you’ve done! She is crying!” Aiden acted like a protective guardian as he buried himself in Amanda’s arms and comforted his mother. “Don’t worry, Mommy. I’ll protect you and keep him from hurting you.”
On the other hand, Elias, who was shoved aside by Aiden, instantly felt tears rolling in his eyes because only he himself knew just how desperately he wished his son didn’t have to wait until a suitable donor appeared. What a prank that fate is pulling on me! Despite his disparaging thoughts, he did his best to fight back his tears. He had to be tough enough to shoulder a true man’s responsibility.
As soon as Amanda laid eyes on Aiden’s face, she cried even louder, completely letting her emotions get the better of her. Why? Why is this happening to my boy, Aiden? He is such a good boy, and he certainly doesn’t deserve to be tormented like this! Why does Aiden have to suffer from this illness?!
“Don’t cry, Mommy. I’ll teach Dad a lesson for you, Mommy…” Aiden started to feel a little panicked because he had never seen Amanda act like this. He also knew that his mother had never cried in front of
him before.
Amanda wanted to speak, but the words that were forming at the tip of her tongue couldn’t come out of her lips. After all, the more mature Aiden appeared to be, the more heartbroken she felt about her son’s misery.
“Why are you bullying Mommy, Dad?! Look at what you did to her! She is crying non-stop!” Aiden glared. at his own father like an angry kitten. Although he was short in stature, he was still able to demonstrate a slight sense of manliness that a brave boy should have.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have made your mommy cry…” Elias stuck out his hand and tried to caress Aiden’s
cheek.
“Hmph!” Aiden hit his father’s hand and responded with a cold grunt before he turned around and wrapped his arms around Amanda’s neck.
“Don’t worry, Mommy. Dad is such a bad guy. I promise I won’t talk to him ever again because anyone who bullies Mommy is a bad person.”
When Amanda heard her son’s response, her tears began to gush out like a waterfall. “Don’t worry about me, Baby. Your dad didn’t bully me. I was watching TV earlier and was touched by the drama…” Amanda wiped her tears while trying to calm herself down so that Aiden wouldn’t see through her sadness.
Aiden gazed at the television and said, “But the television has been off all the while.”
She was rendered speechless that she somehow stopped crying. Then, she caressed Aiden’s fair cheek and forced a smile on her lips. I’m really fine, and your dad didn’t bully me. I was just too… Stressed out!
“Don’t worry, Mommy. I’m sure I’ll make you a lot of money when I grow up.” Aiden exclaimed confidently with his little chest puffed out,
“You’re just giving me some lip service.” Amanda couldn’t help but chuckle at his response.
“No, Mommy. I’m a kid who never breaks his promises. Aiden intoned solemnly, as if he was afraid that Amanda wouldn’t trust him.
“Alright, I trust you, my boy! I’ll wait until you grow up, alright?” It was then that Amanda found the determination to get her son treated because she was motivated to watch him grow up healthily. At the
same time, Elias was sitting aside, watching their interaction as his heart twisted itself in his agony. I just want to protect and love my simple family, but why is that so hard?”
Later that night, Elias paid a visit to the asylum upon leaving Northern No. 1. In the meantime, Jennifer was locked up in the VIP room, always seen to be talking to herself as her mental impairment seemed to have worsened..
“Mrs. Winters hasn’t seemed to be well lately. She’s been talking to herself all day like that, shouting out loud like a madwoman that karma is going to catch up to her. At the same time, she wouldn’t stop saying that it was time for her to meet up with Mr. Winters.” The hospital’s dean talked about Jennifer’s condition to Elias, who was standing outside the ward and watching his insane mother through the window.
“Can she go for a bone marrow compatibility test in her condition? If she is proven to be a suitable donor, can she donate her bone marrow?” Elias asked, thinking he didn’t have any time to waste.
The dean responded with a frown on his face, “Well, it has nothing to do with her mental and hematopoietic conditions, so I suppose it is possible, but the only thing that I’m not sure about is the question of whether she would give her consent.”
“You could have just answered my question with either a ‘yes’ or ‘no. So, don’t worry about me. I’m going to figure out a way soon.” Elias gazed at his own mother, deciding right then and there that he would take her to the hospital at the thought of Aiden’s failing health.
Suddenly, Elias opened the ward’s door, whereupon his arrival left Jennifer in a state of shock. After that, when she finally took a closer look at Elias, she smiled happily. “Damn you, my son! How long has it been until you have finally decided to come get me? Come on, get me out of this place! I’m tired of staying there because everyone else seems mentally ill, so I don’t want to stay here anymore.” Jennifer held Elias’
arm tightly, as if he was her only hope.
“I’m here to take you away, but I’ll need you to do me a favor in return. You’re not going to say ‘no’, are you?” In fact, she had never turned Elias down so long as fulfilling her son’s request was within her power.
“Take me away from this place. Please just take me with you.” Jennifer kept urging Elias to take her away, not paying any attention to what he said.
In the meantime, he was sad and heartbroken at the sight of his mother’s miserable state. Ever since his father passed away, Jennifer’s mental health had been unstable as she always mentioned the word, ‘karma.
When Elias’ grandfather passed away, the news only added to her terrible condition. Nonetheless, Elias took his mother away from the ward while the dean stood aside and watched them go with a sigh of relief.
