Chapter 279 Taylor Momsey

The next day, Elias sat restlessly in the president’s office of Winters Enterprise, having

spent the entire night without sleep and anxiously awaiting the matching results. The

overflowing ashtray in the room. testified to his anxiety, even though he appeared calm

on the surface.

As he watched the sky brighten, he sighed deeply and put out his cigarette. He leaned

back in his chair, completely forgetting about the injuries on his back.

Why is there no news yet? He frowned as he impatiently picked up his phone and glanced

at the time. It was

almost 6.00AM.

Suddenly, the oflice doorwas shoved open, and Yacob rushed in, panting.

When Elias saw him, he sat up straight and eagerly asked, “How is it? Are the matching

results out?”

Yacob walked to the desk after catching his breath and shook his head. “Mrs. Winters is

not a match either.”

Disappointment replaced the anticipation in Elias’ dark eyes, followed by anger. He swept

everything on the desk to the ground, causing a loud crash. Unable to hold back his

frustration, he cursed, “Damn it! How can there not be a single match?”

Is this really karma, as Mom said? Dad has already passed away; Grandpa died without a

clear cause, and now Aiden has this illness. Is it really karma? But why didn’t it fall upon

me instead? Why let the innocent three-year-old child suffer?

Yacob then continued, “However, they actually found a match.”

“Who?!” Elias’ head snapped up, and he fixed a piercing stare on Yacob, eager to know

who it was. He quickly searched through his mind but couldn’t think of anyone.

“It was found in the bone marrow registry, but… I’m afraid he might not agree,” Yacob

said, sounding. somewhat discouraged.

Elias angrily exclaimed when he heard that, “Since it was found in the bone marrow

registry, why wouldn’t he agree? If he won’t agree, why did he even register in the first

place?”

“Calm down, Mr. Winters. He registered in the bone inarrow registry, so he’ll definitely

agree to donate, but he might not donate to us.”

“Who is it?”

“As soon as I received this news, I had the hospital contact him. Normally, the donor and

recipient are kept unaware of each other’s identities, but the donor insisted on knowing

the recipient’s identity, and after hearing it, he refused…”

Before Yacob could finish speaking, Elias snarled in fury, “Can you please get to the

f*cking point? Who is it?”

“It’s… Taylor Momsey.”

Taylor Momsey? When Elias heard the name, his face was filled with shock. How can it be

Taylor? Is this really karma? Of all people, it just has to be the person who hates me the

most in this world to be a match for my son’s bone

marrow.

Yacob wasn’t surprised at his reaction at all because it was impossible for this donor to

agree on the bone

marrow donation. The grievances between Taylor and Mr. Winters are simply

irreconcilable. We can only wait for new candidates in the bone marrow registry. However,

Taylor is currently the most suitable candidate. If he agrees to donate his bone marrow,

the kid can undergo the transplant right away. For this illness, the sooner the bone marrow

transplant, the better. Otherwise, the kid will continue to suffer

Meanwhile, Elias sat there for a long time, lost in thought.

After a while, Amanda’s phone call came in. Yacob had to remind Elias to answer the call.

“Mr. Winters, it’s Miss Bailey’s call.”

Only then did Elias finally snap out of his daze and answer the phone. He simply said,

“Okay, I’m coming right away.”

“Let’s go to the hospital. Aiden is being admitted today! After that, he picked up his suit

jacket and walked out of the office, with Yacob following behind.

At the hospital, Amanda had been patiently explaining to Aiden why he needed to stay in

the hospital and wear a patient gown. Yet, Aiden might be a child, but he wasn’t a toddler

and couldn’t be easily fooled. Therefore, he didn’t believe any of her explanations.

“Mommy, why isn’t Daddy here yet? I want to hear it from Daddy. You’re lying to me.”

“Daddy will be here soon. And I’m not lying to you, baby. It’s a homework assignment from

your teacher, asking us to experience what it feels like to be a patient in the hospital.”

Although she also felt like her lies were simply too ridiculous, she had no other choice but

to continue spouting such nonsense. She couldn’t possibly tell him that he was sick, and it

was so serious that it required a hospital stay and a bone marrow transplant.

“Hmph!” He looked disdainfally at the oversized patient gown he was wearing, constantly

itching to take it off, but she wouldn’t allow him to do so.

At that moment, Elias arrived, pushing open the door to the ward.

They had chosen a VIP ward, so it was a single room. Only Aiden would be staying in the

room, which had been warmly decorated and filled with toys to keep him entertained.

“Daddy! Why do I have to stay in the hospital? Mommy said it was a homework

assignment from the teacher. Is that true? I don’t believe a word she’s saying.”

The moment Elias walked into the ward and saw his little son wearing the large patient

gown, it felt like a hand reached into his chest and tightly clenched his heart, causing him

unbearable pain. Such a young has to wear a patient gown….

He stood still for a few seconds and then walked over, saying, “Mommy is telling you the

truth. We’ll complete the assignment here and go home after that, alright?”

“What? But it will take so long. Mommy said we have to stay for a long time.” Aiden looked

disappointed.

Elias shot a glance at Amanda before lowering his head with a smile and gently ruffling his

son’s little hair. “Not for long. We’ll be able to go home very soon.”

“Really? That’s great!” As soon as Aiden heard that they could go home soon, a smile

tugged on his lips, and he happily ran to play with the toys on the side.

She immediately got up and pulled Elias outside of the ward. She even made sure she

closed the door so Aiden wouldn’t overhear their conversation.

“Why did you tell him we can go home soon? We haven’t found a bone marrow match yet.

How can he be discharged soon? I’ve already told him so many lies. I don’t want to lie to

him anymore. What will I say if we can’t go home later? Should I continue lying to my

son?” She looked at him angrily.

Yacob remained tight-lipped as he stood by silently, Mr. Elias has to tell her himself. We

found a bone marrow match, but the match refused to donate. This can be heartbreaking

to say.

“We’ve found a suitable bone marrow match. I’m going to talk to the donor tonight,” Elias

said in a deep

voice.

“What? So soon?” Amandà looked surprised and couldn’t help but laugh heartily. “You’re

going to go talk to the donor later? Take me with you. Let’s go together.”

Yacob, on the side, looked up in astonishment at Elias. What is Mr. Winters doing? Taylor

would never agree to donate his bone marrow. Wouldn’t telling Amanda about this only

make her more hopeless once she learns about Taylor’s refusal later?

However, Elias continued saying, “I’ll go alone; you should stay here with Aiden.”

“No, I want to go with you. I want to thank the donor properly and meet him in person.”

She stubbornly insisted on tagging along.
