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.
