Chapter 301 Never Do That Again

“You’re taking the long route. There’s a simpler way to prove she’s not insane,” said

Amanda’s eyes went wide. “What is it? Tell me!” She didn’t want to stay at the Momsey

Residence anymore. She was only doing it for her son’s bone marrow transplant.

“Easy. I’ll confront Rosie. I’m the reason she went mad, right

“You have a point, but what if she is actually mad? If you show up, it might make things

worse.”

Elias sneered and looked at the bathroom door. “If she’s not mad, then I bet she’s

eavesdropping right now. If she knows we are trying to prove she’s not mad, then, well,

she’s not mad, is she?”

Amanda looked at the bathroom door, and she shivered. Just the thought of Rosie outside

listening in spooked her. She approached the door and hesitated for a few moments, then

she swung the door open, but there was no one outside. She then looked at the bed, and

Rosie was still there, sleeping soundly.

Elias and Amanda went back into the room and looked at the sleeping Rosie. Sounds of

footsteps came from outside, causing panic to flash in Amanda’s eyes. She then looked at

Elias. “Hide in the garden. I’ll be there in a bit.”

Elias nodded and darted out the window, disappearing in a flash.

The bedroom door creaked open, and Amanda looked at it nervously. Taylor came in, and

Amanda reflexively looked out the window to notice that Elias was gone.

She heaved a sigh of relief.

Curious that she was so nervous, Taylor asked, “Why are you so nervous? It’s just me.”

“That’s

‘s exactly why I was nervous. It’s the dead of the night. Are you here to keep an eye on

me? Worried I might torture your sister in her sleep?” Amanda snapped impatiently and

plopped down on the couch.

Just passing by, so I wanted to check. What’s with the temper? Taylor found it odd that she

was so mad. This was his house. He had the right to check on things, but since Amanda

wasn’t keen on talking to him. he left thereafter and closed the door right after he checked

on his sleeping sister.

After he was gone, Amanda came to the bed and nudged Rosie, but she didn’t move. She

then tiptoed out of the bedroom and closed the door.

Amanda had been searching for Elias in the garden for a while, but she still couldn’t find

him. She couldn’t call out to him either, or the Momseys might be alarmed. In the end, she

meowed in an attempt to get

Elias’ attention.

From the bushes, Elias said, “Here.”

She whirled around and darted into the bush. They then huddled closer and spoke in a

whisper.

I heard that Rosie is involved with one of the maids’ deaths. Maybe that’s how she went

mad.”

Amanda was taken aback for a moment, then she snapped out of it. “Yes. Her name was

Maria. Rosie pushed her down the stairs when she had an episode, and she became

insane after that.”

“So that means I’m not the reason she went mad. The whole thing started because she

committed manslaughter,” said Elias shrewdly.

Amanda nodded. “I think she’s faking insanity to get out of jail,”

“Okay, then this just made things easier for us. We’ll get the maid to prove that she’s not

mad,” said Elias calmly.

“But she’s de-” Realization struck Amanda, and her eyes went wide. “You can’t mean…”

“That’s exactly what I mean. A bit of jolt to her head should knock some sanity back into

her.”

She was a little hesitant. “That’s… Wow. She might be mad for real, you know. What if this

makes things. worse?”

“Things are already bad enough. How much worse can it get? If we don’t do this, she’s

either going to live her life out as a madwoman, or she’s going to get back at us sooner or

later.”

Elias realized that Rosie was a hazard. If he couldn’t deal with her well, she might drag

everyone down to hell. Even before going to the rehab center, Rosie never did let go of

her obsession with him. If she were to regain her sanity one day, she would come to him

right away.

If Elias had a happy family of his own, then that woman would stop at nothing to destroy

it, so he wanted to deal with her once and for all.

Even though he said nothing, the look on his face told Amanda that he was planning

something. He was a smart man, and she could never see through him.

“I’ll be going now. See you tomorrow,” said Elias.

“So, you’re going with my plan as well?” She thought Elias would object to it.

Elias looked into her eyes. “I’m taking you away tomorrow. Just bear with it one more

night. Do not get near Rosie. Stay far away from her, and take this.”

She looked at the thing he was holding, confused. What is this? “Is this a taser?”

“Correct. If she tries to get near you, tase her. And lock your door at night. Do not let

Taylor in,” said Elias.

“How did you know he’d come into my room at night? That’s a good guess. Taylor does

suddenly come into my room late at night.

Elias’ face fell. “I see he has done it before. Hold on to this taser. If anyone tries to come

near you, tase them. And take my phone. I don’t want you to go dark again, alright?” He

had had enough of the lack of news from Amanda. The loss of contact almost drove him

mad and the search alone was hell..

“I know.” Touched for some reason, Amanda nodded.

“I can’t stay for long. I need to go back to Aiden. He wouldn’t stop crying when you were

gone. I have to take you away tomorrow. He can’t be separated from his mother right

now.”

Amanda felt for her son, and tears glistened in her eyes. “Is he alright? Has he been taking

his medications?” She was worried her son might ask for her, so she had been trying to

distract herself. Every time she thought about Aiden, she wanted to cry.

“You’ll get your answer when you see him tomorrow. This will come to an end tomorrow.”

Elias got up and

slid into the darkness of the night, then he left the place

Holding the taser tightly. Amanda went back to Rosie oom Surprisingly Rosie was still in

her bed, asleep. As per Elsas reminder. Amanda locked the room and went back to the

couch. She would stay up all night since she couldn’t sleep anyway
