Chapter 287

Chapter 287 This Woman Is Really Fearless!

As for Taylor, he nonchalantly followed Amanda. “How’s your son? His condition is getting critical, isn’t it? How much time does he have left before he dies? I can attend his funeral if I’m free.”

Amanda abruptly turned around and slapped Taylor without hesitation after she heard him talk about her son’s death. The loud slap resounded through the hall, causing the passersby to stop and look at them.

Despite the hard slap, Taylor burst out laughing. He caressed his cheek that had just gotten slapped and looked at the enraged Amanda. “Your son is still alive, yet you are already so furious. What if he actually dies? Are you saying that you will die with him?”

This guy is scum! How is it that every word spoken by him sounds like a knife to my heart!? Amanda, once again, raised her arm. This time, she wanted to slap the other side of Taylor’s checks.

To her surprise, Taylor grabbed hold of her hand. “That’s enough. Do you honestly think I will just stand here and let you slap me as you wish? Who do you think you are? You are merely a woman who wished to claim ties with Elias but got abandoned by him. Not to mention, you had to raise your child alone so piteously.”

She withdrew her arm and glared at the man in front of her. “Who do you think you are, then? You are nothing but a lowlife who can’t even protect your own sister and only knows how to persistently demand. Elias take responsibility for what happened. What have you done to help your sister? What right do you have to ridicule me? At least, I have never harassed you to donate your bone marrow for my son. What about you, huh?!”

“What about me? Damn it! F*cking make yourself clear! Amanda’s words hit right at Taylor’s vulnerable spot, successfully infuriating him.

He was right about one thing. She was a lawyer, so naturally, she was more than qualified in dissing people.

Amanda sneered, disdain written all over her face as she added, “You dare ask me what about you? Elias. doesn’t fancy your sister. He doesn’t give a damn about her. In fact, he isn’t even interested in toying with” her. Yet, here you are, constantly begging him to save your sister. What? Is he obligated to do so? That’s your sister, not his. So, why do you blame him for all your grievances after something happened to your sister? What were you doing when your sister swallowed the sleeping pills? Why didn’t you stop her?”

Every word that escaped Amanda’s lips caused Taylor’s anger to intensify. Finally, he erupted and roared, “Shut the f*ck up! What do you know?! What makes you think you have the right to spew such things?!”

“Then, what makes you think you have the right to curse my son?! What did my son do? Is he in the wrong just because he is Elias’ son? What does your enmity with Elias have to do with my son? You are a grown man, yet you don’t even have the slightest sense. You are just as worthless as a piece of trash.”

After that, Amanda turned around and left the hospital without sparing him a glance. Only Taylor was left standing there looking furious as he received a peculiar look from the passersby. Ha! This woman is really fearless! Excellent! Truly excellent! Just wait! I will make her come crying and begging me to forgive her!

In the meantime, an elderly passerby was staring at him as if he was looking at a freak. Taylor sensed this as he yelled at the elder, “What the hell are you looking at?! F*ck off!” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

With that, the elder cursed under his breath before leaving the scene.

Taylor clenched his fists tightly, wishing so badly that he could strangle Amanda to death.

Meanwhile, Aiden and Selina were playing with toy bricks in the ward. Aiden looked so happy that it was as though he had forgotten that he was hospitalized. Such was the scene Amanda stumbled upon after returning from buying a cake. She unconsciously smiled along when she saw how happy Aiden was. Then, she sat on the couch on the side and quietly watched as Aiden played with Selina.

Amanda sat there for a long while when suddenly, a nurse came and knocked on the door. When Amanda went to open the door, the nurse said, “Are you Aiden Bailey’s family members? Dr. Smith is asking for you in his office. He has something to tell you.”

“What is it?” Amanda involuntarily tensed up. Don’t tell me it’s bad news again. In truth, Amanda’s nerves were strung taut during her stay in the hospital these few days. She feared the doctor would tell her more bad news regarding Aiden’s condition in the next second.

Unfortunately, the nurse didn’t enlighten her as she simply turned around and left.

Amanda stood still, but her heart couldn’t help but start pounding against her ribcage. She was on tenterhooks as she arrived at Christopher’s office. Christopher, who was filling out the medical records, saw her and beckoned, “Please take a seat, Miss Bailey.”

“Dr. Smith, is there something wrong with my son? What is it that you want to tell me?” Although Amanda feared the answer she would be receiving, she still had to know just why Christopher was looking for her.

Christopher placed the medical record in his hands down as he smiled and explained, “Calm down. I’m looking for you this time because I have some good news to share with you. We have found another suitable bone marrow match for Aiden from the Corynthea Marrow Donor Program’s list of donors. Moreover, this donor is quite young. Hence, we can arrange Aiden’s bone marrow transplant procedure as soon as possible.”

Amanda widened her eyes in shock. She was so stunned and didn’t know how to react for a moment. She wanted to burst into tears and laughter at the same time. I can’t believe the hospital managed to find another suitable bone marrow match for Aiden!

“I-Is this true? Can you tell me the identity of this donor? I want to thank them in person.” Amanda was so exhilarated that she started to stammer a little.

“I’m afraid I can’t. We don’t know the donor’s information as well. It is the rule and the donor’s privacy. Plus, the donor has requested to be anonymous. So.. I can’t help you with this. In addition, the donor doesn’t want a reward.”

Amanda had no idea how to describe her current mood. It was as if a bright light suddenly shone upon her, who was in an abyss. That light shone her way straight to heaven and even the usually blue sky seemed particularly special today.

Amanda couldn’t help but burst out into chuckles while she headed back to Aiden’s ward. Every cloud has a silver lining, indeed. Finally, there is hope! The doctor has found a matching bone marrow. Baby is saved!

She took out her phone and called Elias. Soon, the call went through, and Elias’ low-toned voice sounded, “What’s wrong? Did something happen to Aiden?”

“No, no. Everything is fine. Dr. Smith called me to his office just now. He told me they had searched through the list of donors in the Corynthea Marrow Donor Program and found a suitable bone marrow match. What’s more, the donor is willing to donate for free! This is such great news! We can proceed with

Aiden’s bone marrow transplant procedure without delay!”

Amanda excitedly gripped her phone tightly, unable to suppress her joy. As for Elias, he was the opposite. Not only was he not as happy as Amanda, but he also raised another question. “Do you know any. information regarding the donor?”

“No, I don’t. Dr. Smith said that the donor doesn’t want to expose their privacy and has requested to remain anonymous.”

“Okay, I understand. I will drop by the hospital after settling all affairs. Just stay with Aiden in the hospital and don’t go anywhere.”

“Okay,” Amanda hummed.

Regardless, she felt that there was something a bit off with Elias’ emotions after she ended the call. We have finally found a suitable bone marrow match for Aiden, but tohy isn’t Elias feeling even the slightest joy? Instead, he is somewhat oddly indifferent. Come to think of it, what exactly is he so preoccupied with?
