Chapter 307 Can I See Your Son

“It’s alright. The fact that my marrow’s a match means this must be fate. Rosie asked,

“Can I see your son,

Elias?”

Elias frowned, wondering what Rosie was up to this time. She was a fanatic of his back

then, and everyone knew the lengths she went to just to court him. He was reluctant to let

his son near a madwoman like her. Well, she was not medically mad, but she was an

extreme woman who did things without even considering the repercussions.

The hesitation did not escape Rosie. She put on a pout that showed she was hurt. “It’s fine

if you can’t do that. I just want to see what he looks like. I mean him no harm.”

Elias said nothing, staring at her in silence.

Tears glistened in her eyes. “I’m not the old me anymore. I won’t hound you like I used to,

because I’ve paid a huge price for that. Now I just want to live in peace. That’s why I want

to help your son. To do good and somehow atone for my past. I’m sorry for all the trouble

I’ve caused you.”

Most men could not tell that a woman was faking it, Elias included. He didn’t realize Rosie

was acting. A long silence later, he said, “Fine. I’ll take you to him once the surgery is

done. He’s not in the best state right now, so he’s quite feisty. He doesn’t want to see any

strangers.”

Elias was not in the mood for anything aside from the dealings of the transplant.

A smile curled Rosie’s lip. “Sure. Let’s do it as soon as possible. He must be suffering right

now.”

“Get some rest. I’ll be going now. Call the nurse if you need anything. You can also call

Taylor or me.”

“Sure. Go back to your son, Elias. He needs you by his side.” She looked so genuinely

concerned, and it was almost worthy of sympathy how she cared so much while she was

hurt.

However, Elias was on guard around her as usual.

The moment the door swung shut, the smile was wiped off Rosie’s face, and she clutched

her blanket tightly.

Elias and Amanda met up in the corridor. “What did you say? She’s going to donate her

marrow to Aiden?” Amanda was in disbelief. She must be mad. Why else did she decide to

do that? Aiden’s the son of Elias and me, the same Elias she’s so madly in love with.

There’s no way she would help Aiden.

“Yeah.”

“But…”

Amanda wanted to say something, but Elias interrupted. “No buts. Either one of them can

donate their marrow. I don’t particularly care who it is.”

“Why not Taylor, then? He’s a healthy man, and he can heal up fast. Besides, he promised

he would help out if we found his sister. Amanda still didn’t trust Rosie for some reason.

Her gut told her that. She would rather have Taylor do it instead.

Elias frowned. “He’s reluctant, so he might sabotage the whole thing. A bone marrow

transplant is not a small matter. We would be better off with someone willing. Maybe

that’ll help with the healing later.”

He was being a little superstitious, but he wouldn’t leave anything to chance when it came

to his son’s condition. He wanted to make sure everything was fine.

Amanda was reluctant to have Rosie as the donor, but she couldn’t argue with that. That

was the best plan they had. She too was worried that Taylor might pull something evil.

They couldn’t waste any more time with Aiden being in this state. The transplant must

happen as soon as possible.

Over the next few days, Rosie spent her time preparing for the surgery. She would have to

take a week’s worth of medications and injections.

Amanda didn’t leave the hospital after that either. On a certain day, Selina was feeding

Aiden his lunch, and Amanda came out to get some fresh air. She was so, so heartbroken

seeing her baby in so much pain, and yet she had to force herself to smile every day. Just

get the surgery over with. I can’t take this anymore.

Just then, a silhouette appeared at the end of the corridor. The sound of its footsteps was

weird, and Amanda turned around to see who it was. Oh, Taylor. Probably here to see

Rosie. She wasn’t planning to acknowledge him.

Just when she was about to go back to her son’s ward, Taylor blurted, “I don’t understand.

How did Elias manage to bewitch you ladies into doing everything for him? Even when

your lives are at risk.”

Amanda stopped and turned around. She sneered, “Ask your sister. She’s his biggest fan.

I’m a normal person, actually. If I can’t have him, then so be it. I won’t force myself to get

him.”

“So, he’s courting you instead?”

“Really? And what makes you think that?” Ever since Elias’ grandfather died, she felt that

Elias had been. focusing on his career. He had no time for relationships.

Taylor chortled derisively. “Because he’s concerned about your son. If he doesn’t love you,

he would ignore even your son. The fact he cares about his son means he cares about

you. Honestly, you don’t even get that? How did he even fall for you?”

Amanda said nothing. She stood quietly, musing over Taylor’s explanation.

Taylor went past her and gave her a glance. “But if you do get back together with him, it’s

going to be hell for you.”

Amanda turned around to look at him. She was confused about what he said just now.

Finally, it was time for the surgery, and everyone was waiting outside the operating room.

Amanda was nervous, worried that something bad might happen.

Fortunately, everything went well on Rosie’s side, and they went into the operating room.

The transplant would take about two hours. Amanda and Elias waited outside. The

moment the sign over the doors lit up, their hearts started to race.

Jack and Edith were outside too. Even Stephanie was told to show up. After all, she was

Aiden’s aunt.

“Calm down, Dad. The success rate for bone marrow transplants is really high in this

country. There’s nothing to be worried about.”

Stephanie just wanted to calm her parents down, but Jack snapped. “Shut it! What do you

know? He’s just a boy. No matter how smooth the surgery is, it’s still going to be painful

for him.”

“Surgery” It’s not like he’s getting cut open. I reckon there’s no pain at all. It’s just an

injection,” said Stephanie nonchalantly, as if the surgery was just some regular wound

cleaning

“And you call yourself Aiden’s aunt? You don’t even care about him, and now you’re

talking smack like the surgery’s nothing! What if you were the one down world his

condition?”
