Chapter 282 I’m Elias’ Ex-Wife
Outside of the Momsey Residence, Yacob tagged behind Elias. “Mr. Elias, what are your plans now? Itdoesn’t seem like Taylor will help us out willingly.”
This situation was exactly what he expected. Back then, Elias had ignored Taylor when was outside theWinters Residence for hours, begging to meet him so he could save his sister. So, it was only to beexpected that Taylor would spurn Elias now and refuse to donate his bone marrow.
Elias walked toward the car with a stoic expression on his face and said coldly, “I’ll do it by force, then. Icould care less about everything else. All I want is for my son to be safe and healthy.”
Yacob said no more. Given his understanding of Elias’ personality, he knew that he was capable ofsomething like that. It would be best if Taylor would give his consent to donate his bone marrowbecause Taylor would be forced to if he remained unwilling. However, unbeknownst to them, Amandaarrived at Taylor’s place after they had hopped into their car. Yacob had almost forgotten about herafter giving her Taylor’s address. Initially, he thought she would accompany them to meet Taylor. Thus,he didn’t that she would come later.

Amanda pressed the doorbell by the large entrance, and the butler promptly came to answer the door.“Whom are you looking for, madam?”
“Uh… 1. For a moment, she didn’t know what she should say because she couldn’t simply tell him thatshe was here to beg Taylor for his bone marrow. On the other hand, she wondered whether Elias wasstill here. Maybe he’s still inside…
She cleared her throat and said, “I’m Elias Winters’ ex-wife and here to look for him. He told me thathe’s here.
A knot appeared between the butler’s brows as he looked at her from head to toe. “Are you Mr.Winters” ex-wife? Mr. Winters just left a minute ago.”
“He left already?” That was quick, or maybe I came a little late.
Disappointed at the turn of events, she twirled around and wanted to leave when the butler stoppedher. “Wait a minute. Let me inform Mr. Momsey. Somehow, he had a feeling that she was useful toTaylor. Hence, after Amanda waited outside the door for about ten minutes, he came trotting back.“Please come in, madam. Mr. Momsey would like to meet you.”
The person with the matching bone marrow that Yacob mentioned is probably this Mr. Momsey, shethought, her eyes lighting up with a glimmer of hope. “Great!” She wanted to meet him as well to askhim to donate his bone marrow, and hopefully, she could convince this stranger. Alas, he was anenemy of Elias. Just the thought of this made this seem like an impossible task.
The butler led her to the spot where Elias stood earlier-the same dog room. As Amanda stood there,she couldn’t help but notice dog toys and other assortments strewn everywhere. Is this a room madefor dogs?
“Where is Mr. Momsey?” she inquired.
The butler took a look behind her. “He’s here. Right behind you.”
Slowly, she spun around and the first thing she saw was the fierce Dogo Argentino, which gave her afright. and she jumped a couple of steps backward because she was terrified of dogs. Meanwhile, thedog barked loudly at her a few times the instant she met its gaze, and she trembled in fear.

Amused by her reaction, Taylor laughed and stroked his beloved dog. “Pudding, don’t frighten thispretty lady. Go on and play over there while I speak with her.”
Hence, the dog turned and trotted off into a different corner, and Amanda breathed a sigh of relief atthe sight, her tightly wrung nerves relaxed.
Taylor took a seat on the couch, his eyes glued on the woman in front of him as he gave her a once-over. Elias wouldn’t fall for his sister, Rosie, no matter what she did but had a child with this woman.Was this the type of woman he liked? What type of woman is she? he wondered.
While he was silently judging her and trying to guess her personality, she opened her mouth and said,“Hello, Mr. Momsey. I’m Amanda Bailey.”
“Did you say that you’re Elias’ ex-wife? So, are you the mother of that child who needs a bone marrowtransplant?” Taylor’s voice had a tinge of doubt because Amanda looked nothing like a mother. Instead,she looked a little childlike, more like a young girl who had just started joining the workforce.
Amanda nodded. “Yes, I’m the mother of that child. Are you the match for his bone marrow, Mr.Momsey?”,
“Yes, I’m the one, but I have no plans of donating my bone marrow.”
The smile that just appeared on her face turned stiff right away. Although she already expected this,she mustered her courage and said, “I know that there’s a personal feud between you and Elias, butthe child is innocent and he’s only three years old. It isn’t easy for him to replace a match and I really don’twant to miss this opportunity. I hope you’ll reconsider and donate your bone marrow. I’m begging you.No matter what conditions you come up with, I’ll agree to it. As long as you name it, I’ll get it done.”
He burst into laughter at her words. “You sure sound like his ex-wife, even the things you said are assickening as his. You said any condition, eh? What about spending the night with me? Will you dothat?”
She was rendered speechless by his daring and was certain that he was saying this on purpose tospite her. Thus, she held back the revulsion she was feeling as she said with a forced smile, “Mr.Momsey, a divorced woman like me isn’t good enough for a fine gentleman like you. Why don’t youname another condition?
“Tsk… Didn’t you just say that you’ll agree to any condition? How can you say that you’ll get anythingthat I said done when you can’t even do such a simple request? What are you doing? You’re the oneasking me for help but expect me to compromise instead. Every word he said was filled with sarcasmand deep
hatred.
“Are you serious, Mr. Momsey?”
“Of course, I am. Why don’t you tell me how you managed to seduce Elias back then that he marriedyou. and even had a child with you? After that, why did he divorce and dump you in the end?” He wasrather curious about this because he wanted to know why the heartless Elias would marry, have achild, and then divorce the woman before him.
So, she stood rooted to the spot as she answered humbly, “I didn’t seduce him. We were married uponour parents’ orders, and he didn’t want to marry me, but he couldn’t defy his grandfather, and that’swhy we divorced soon afterward. After the divorce, I found out that I was pregnant. So, he didn’t knowabout the child.”
Taylor was almost fascinated with her story and stared at her with a straight face, sighing. “Phew…You’re a strong woman, aren’t you? All alone, you had the guts to give birth to a baby, and Elias’ childat that. Yet, the child is suffering from this illness now. Do you know what this is? It’s retribution! Whydid you give birth to his child? A person like him isn’t fit to have one and this is a reminder from theuniverse. I think
you shouldn’t waste your efforts and just let the child die. Will he be happy to be that sc”mbag’s child?No. he won’t, and only no end of miserable experiences aware him.”
“You shut your mouth, or I’ll shut it for you! Finally. Amanda couldn’t take it anymore, and it was all shecould do to stop herself from ripping his mouth of
