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 anyother response. However, her tears began rolling down her cheek from her eyes. At the same time, theman sank onto the couch in a dejected manner with his head lowered in defeat as he clenched hisfingers. 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, replaceing herself on the verge of an emotional breakdown. No, that’simpossible! How is there not a suitable match for Aiden even after so many people from the Wintersesand the Allegra Families went for the compatibility test?!

In the meantime, Elias only closed his eyes helplessly, asking himself the same question that Amandadid. to herself. He then began to wonder who else had not done the compatibility test until his mothercame to his mind. What about my mom? But… Is she going to cooperate? At the thought of hismother’s mental condition, Elias had doubts about her willingness to cooperate even if she wasdiscovered 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’scondition can’t go out like that without a suitable donor. How long is their search going to take? I don’twant 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 Aidenwaste any more time waiting for a suitable donor. Deep down, she wished she could just donate herown. bone marrow to her son but was dismayed by the fact that the child had to wait for someone withcompatible bone marrow.

Soon, Aiden, who was eating a cake, heard Amanda’s cry and came scurrying, whereupon he shovedElias away and shouted angrily. “Why are you bullying Mommy, Dad?! Look what you’ve done! She iscrying!” Aiden acted like a protective guardian as he buried himself in Amanda’s arms and comfortedhis 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 eyesbecause only he himself knew just how desperately he wished his son didn’t have to wait until asuitable donor appeared. What a prank that fate is pulling on me! Despite his disparaging thoughts, hedid 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 emotionsget the better of her. Why? Why is this happening to my boy, Aiden? He is such a good boy, and hecertainly 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 panickedbecause he had never seen Amanda act like this. He also knew that his mother had never cried in frontof

him before.

Amanda wanted to speak, but the words that were forming at the tip of her tongue couldn’t come out ofher lips. After all, the more mature Aiden appeared to be, the more heartbroken she felt about her son’smisery.

“Why are you bullying Mommy, Dad?! Look at what you did to her! She is crying non-stop!” Aidenglared. at his own father like an angry kitten. Although he was short in stature, he was still able todemonstrate 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 caressAiden’s

cheek.

“Hmph!” Aiden hit his father’s hand and responded with a cold grunt before he turned around andwrapped 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 anyonewho bullies Mommy is a bad person.”

When Amanda heard her son’s response, her tears began to gush out like a waterfall. “Don’t worryabout 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 hersadness.

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 faircheek 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 exclaimedconfidently 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 thatAmanda wouldn’t trust him.

“Alright, I trust you, my boy! I’ll wait until you grow up, alright?” It was then that Amanda found thedetermination 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. Ijust 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, Jenniferwas locked up in the VIP room, always seen to be talking to herself as her mental impairment seemedto have worsened..

“Mrs. Winters hasn’t seemed to be well lately. She’s been talking to herself all day like that, shoutingout loud like a madwoman that karma is going to catch up to her. At the same time, she wouldn’t stopsaying that it was time for her to meet up with Mr. Winters.” The hospital’s dean talked about Jennifer’scondition to Elias, who was standing outside the ward and watching his insane mother through thewindow.

“Can she go for a bone marrow compatibility test in her condition? If she is proven to be a suitabledonor, 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 andhematopoietic conditions, so I suppose it is possible, but the only thing that I’m not sure about is thequestion 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’mgoing to figure out a way soon.” Elias gazed at his own mother, deciding right then and there that hewould 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. Afterthat, when she finally took a closer look at Elias, she smiled happily. “Damn you, my son! How long hasit been until you have finally decided to come get me? Come on, get me out of this place! I’m tired ofstaying there because everyone else seems mentally ill, so I don’t want to stay here anymore.” Jenniferheld 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’, areyou?” In fact, she had never turned Elias down so long as fulfilling her son’s request was within herpower.

“Take me away from this place. Please just take me with you.” Jennifer kept urging Elias to take heraway, 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 sincehis 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 sighof relief.
