Chapter 292 I Knew You Would Come Back

After leaving the Momsey Residence, Amanda wasted no time and hailed a cab to rush to the hospital.

Upon her arrival, she discovered an empty ward, save for Aiden sleeping there alone. Shouldn’t Selinabe by his side during this critical time?

With a frown, Amanda entered the ward and walked up to the side of the bed. As she looked. at herson’s pale face, her heart instantly tightened.

Taking a seat, she gently held Aiden’s tiny hand and brought it close to her face.

Suddenly, the boy slowly opened his eyes and recognized his mother. Then, he happily sat up andeagerly threw himself into her warm embrace while wrapping his arms tightly around her neck.“Mommy, where did you go? I’ve been searching for you for so long. Mommy!”

He clutched onto her tightly as if afraid that his mother might vanish in the blink of an eye. Amanda’seyes welled up with tears, and she couldn’t hold them back.

Holding her baby close, she murmured, “I had to go out to take care of something, my sweet boy. Haveyou been good and taken your medicine? By the way, where is Miss Selina? Did Daddy come to visityou?”

As Amanda had been gone the entire afternoon, she anxiously hoped that Elias hadn’t noticed herabsence yet.

Aiden held onto her tightly. “Miss Selina promised to make me something delicious. Daddy went to replaceyou because I was missing you…”

His voice choked with sadness, and he looked utterly pitiful.

With a heart filled with anguish, Amanda gazed down at her son. “Baby, what’s wrong? I am

here now.”

Aiden’s voice trembled as he said, “When my nose started bleeding earlier, I really needed. you,Mommy. You weren’t here, so Daddy went to replace you. He told me that if he found you, both of youwould come back together.”

A heavy silence hung in the air as Amanda absorbed his words.

It became clear that Elias had discovered her absence and was desperately searching for her since hecouldn’t reach her.

Instinctively, Amanda held Aiden tightly in her arms. He looked into her eyes and asked,

“Mommy, are you sad? Why are you crying?”

“I am fine, sweetheart. It’s just that my eyes feel a bit uncomfortable. How about you? Do you feel

any discomfort anywhere? If something doesn’t feel right, you have to let the nurse know, okay?”Amanda carefully inspected her son’s body for any signs of injury.

For the time being, everything seemed fine. However, suddenly…

“Cough… Ugh!” Aiden began coughing violently and vomited a mouthful of blood, splattering it acrossAmanda’s clothes and face.

She was dumbfounded.

It wasn’t until she heard his cries of pain that she snapped back to reality. Hastily, she tried to comforthim by saying, “Aiden, I’m here! Don’t cry.”

“Boohoo… Mommy, I don’t feel well…” Aiden continued crying while clutching onto her, his tiny mouthstained with blood.

Tears welled up in Amanda’s eyes as fear gripped her. Still sobbing uncontrollably, she hurriedlygrabbed tissues to wipe her son down.

Yet, at this very moment, Aiden expelled yet another mouthful of blood.

Amanda felt a surge of panic, and she was unsure of what to do. All she could do was quickly seek outthe doctor and nurses for help.

She urgently pressed the call button and shouted, “Doctor! Nurse! Please come quickly!”

After a while, the doctor and nurses arrived at the ward and swiftly escorted her outside to wait.

The distressed cries of her baby from inside pierced her heart like needles, yet she couldn’t doanything.

If a suitable bone marrow match couldn’t be found, Aiden would continue to suffer, and his conditionwould only worsen.

In the silent hallway, Amanda stood in front of the ward and couldn’t hold back her tears.

How much more could her precious child endure?

Time seemed to blur as she remained stationed outside the ward. Eventually, the door opened, and thedoctor and nurses emerged. With a grave tone, the doctor said. “This is the reality of the situation, andthere’s no other way. Make sure the child takes medication. punctually every day and cooperates withthe treatment. The best course of action is to secure a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible.”

Amanda lowered her head, and her gaze fell upon the tears that had pooled on the floor.

With a determined resolve, she wiped away her tears and stepped into the ward. There, she saw Aidenlying on the bed, peacefully asleep but visibly drained.

“Mommy, I coughed up blood again just now…” Aiden extended his hand toward her.

Amanda walked over and gently held his tiny hand as she tried to calm her emotions. “It’s alright, mydear.”

“Mommy, you’re lying to me again. Am I sick? Is that why I have to stay in the hospital?” Aiden’s wordshung heavy in the air.

Amanda fell into silence, unsure of how to respond.

It had come to this point where even her three-year-old son could perceive the truth.

Finally, she nodded. “Yes, the doctor said you have to stay in the hospital for a few more days, butyou’ll be able to go home soon.”

“Mommy, being sick doesn’t feel good.” Aiden’s once lively and adorable voice now carried a frailty thatpierced Amanda’s heart with even greater intensity.

She held back her tears and said, “Aiden, be good and wait here for Miss Selina and Daddy. I need totalk to the doctor about something, okay?”

“Mommy, how long will you be gone? I want you to sleep with me tonight.” Aiden looked panicked, as iffearing that Amanda wouldn’t return..

“I’ll be back very soon,” she assured him. Although it pained her to tell yet another lie, there was noother choice.

Amanda could only steel herself and let go of Aiden’s little hand. Without a backward glance, she leftthe hospital.

She had made up her mind and left.

Amanda hailed a cab and headed straight to the Momsey Residence. As she sat in the rear seat, tearsstreamed down her face without restraint. An overwhelming sense of helplessness and sadnessengulfed her.

Why did they force her into such a desperate situation?

The Momsey Residence.

Taylor sat on the couch, surprised by the news of Amanda’s return.

He had never expected her to return, and a sneer of disdain immediately crossed his face.

Without sparing him a single glance, Amanda entered the living room and headed directly. upstairs toRosie’s bedroom.

Taylor watched her miserable figure and mocked, “Didn’t you proudly declare that you would nevercome back? Why have you returned now? Did you finally realize that this is the easiest way out?”

Amanda paused for a moment before turning to glance at him. “You better keep your word. or I’ll makesure to exact revenge on you later.”

“Rest assured. I’m far more reliable than that sc*mbag, Elias. As I’ve mentioned, every minute of theten days is crucial, and not a single second can be spared. If not, I won’t hesitate to break my promise,” Taylor commented coldly.

With trepidation, Amanda approached the door to Rosie’s bedroom. The fear lingered. within her asshe was reminded of the memories of being choked.

After mentally preparing herself, she pushed open the door and stepped inside.

Watching Amanda enter the bedroom and close the door right before his eyes, Taylor slowly rose fromthe couch and slipped his hands into his pockets. A cold snort escaped his lips as he muttered tohimself, “I knew you would come back. There’s no escaping it. You have to return and serve my sisterobediently.”

Meanwhile, Elias tirelessly conducted an extensive search for Amanda, but she remained elusive,leaving no traces behind. With no other option left, he reluctantly returned to the hospital to be by hisson’s side.

Upon his arrival at the ward, Selina was diligently feeding Aiden soup. The little one was relatively well-behaved, obediently sipping spoonsful under her attentive care.
