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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthe 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.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe 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.
