Chapter 290 She Didn’t Dare Risk Her Child’s Life
At the sight of her hesitation, Taylor spoke again. “Please consider it carefully. The clock is ticking, so I don’t want to waste time with you here.”
He prepared to leave and slowly walked past her. Amanda glanced at his retreating figure and eventually made up her mind after a brief internal struggle.
“Wait! I agree!”
I don’t really trust him, but what if he fulfills his promise? It would only take up to ten days, but finding another. compatible bone marrow donor would take an indeterminate amount of time if she turned him down. She didn’t dare risk her child’s life and could only take a leap of faith.
Taylor paused in his stride, an evil smile appearing on his face. He knew Amanda would agree because she was at her wits end.
He turned around to face her. “For ten days starting today, you must care for my sister without contacting the outside world. If you can survive it, then I will donate my bone marrow.”
Ten days without contacting Elias or my baby… How is that possible? What if Aiden misses me? He will surely throw a tantrum if he doesn’t see me for an entire day.
“But what about my child? He will throw a tantrum if he doesn’t see me for one whole day. Besides, how
can I be reassured enough not to talk to him, especially in his current condition?”
Taylor, however, looked unbothered. “It’s not something I should worry about. That’s my condition-don’t contact anyone or let them know you are here with me, and I will donate my bone marrow after ten
days, I will accept nothing else. Plus, it will be for ten whole days. Any shorter than that, and I won’t fulfill my promise, even if it’s just a second.”
Amanda clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. There wasn’t enough time, and she couldn’t wait anymore, so she could only agree to it.
“I know!” She bit out, thereafter brushing past him to face him.
A victorious smile appeared on his face as if his plan had worked. He intended to teach this proud, ignorant woman a lesson in the next ten days and let her know what Elias had done back then.
Amanda emerged from the nursing home and got into the Momseys’ car, waiting for Taylor to bring Rosie out. There were already countless missed calls on her phone from Elias, Selina, as well as Jack, but she didn’t take any of them and merely switched off her phone silently.
The car door opened suddenly, and she looked up in shock just to see a woman with long, mussed hair being stuffed inside the car.
Oh, my!” Amanda exclaimed in surprise.
Taylor’s expression was scornful. “Why are you so surprised? You will have to look at her for the next ten days, but you can’t bear the sight of her already?” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
So, this was Rosie Momsey.
Amanda swallowed and studied Rosie from a close distance. However, she felt that something was off.
Rosie’s expression was terrifying and gloomy as she stared at Amanda fixedly before saying abruptly, “Do you want to steal Eli from me too? Say something!”
Amanda didn’t know what to say to that, now sensing how insane Rosie was since the latter saw every woman as her enemy. Taking a deep breath, Amanda smiled. “No. I don’t know him.”
“Nonsense! How can that be? How can you not know him? I remember you hugging him before this! I saw it!” Rosie screamed while pointing at Amanda, seemingly remembering something.
Amanda pushed Rosie’s hand down. “You’re mistaking me for someone else. I’m not her.”
“Really? But you look so alike. It’s definitely you….” Rosie began doubting herself since time was completely messed up inside her mind. It had been like this for six years, and she couldn’t leave the nursing home.
Taylor had wanted to take her home to be looked after several times, but it would cause chaos after just a few days. This gave him no choice but to send her back to the nursing home.
Rosie kept muttering throughout the journey, but Amanda ignored it completely since she didn’t know what Rosie was saying.
After arriving at the Momsey Residence, Amanda immediately opened the door and got out, but Taylor alighted from another car and asked mockingly. “Is that how you take care of my sister? Are you going to spend the next ten days like this? If so, I will never donate my bone marrow, even if you suffer for a year.
Amanda glared and turned to pull Rosie out of the car without saying anything else. “Come along, now. I’ll take you to get something to eat.”
Amanda felt that Rosie’s delirious behavior made the latter seem like a stubborn yet temperamental child.
However, Rosie brushed off her hand with disgust. “Go away. I don’t want to listen to you. All of you just want to steal Eli from me. I don’t want to look at you.”
Amanda had no words. Rosie was definitely crazy since only a crazy person would think everyone would want to steal Elias from her.
Suppressing her annoyance, Amanda smiled. “No one is stealing him from you. Let’s go eat something, okay?”
“Go invite Eli too, and I’ll do as you ask.” Rosie was insistent on seeing Elias.
Amanda now understood how irritated one could be after being constantly threatened in order to attain someone else’s aims and thus become less cooperative, but she swallowed her feelings for the sake of her son’s bone marrow transplant. “Rosie, eat something, and I’ll ask your Eli to come.”
“Really? You aren’t lying, are you? My brother keeps lying to me by saying that Eli will come, but he never does. You aren’t lying, right?” Rosie’s eyes widened in a childish expression.
“Of course, Isn’t that your brother? He can prove it.” Amanda glanced at Taylor.
Rosie turned to Taylor. Taylor, is she speaking the truth? Will she really ask Eli to come?”
Taylor, who had been enjoying the show, came over as soon as Rosie talked to him and stroked her head affectionately. “Of course. So, let’s go eat something, alright?”
“Yay! I’ll go eat something now. I will get to see Eli after that. That’s great! I’m going to take a bath and change my clothes afterward since he likes pretty women, and I have to dress up.” Rosie then ran off excitedly into the house.
He looked at his sister’s retreating figure and then at Amanda. “You’re lying to her already when she just arrived home. Let’s see how you’re going to resolve this afterward. Don’t let her throw a tantrum, or
I’ll consider it a failure as well.”
Amanda ignored him and went toward the house.
Taylor smiled at how proud she still acted. She’s quite something. How can she still behave so arrogantly in such a situation?
