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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmy 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?”
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.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAmanda 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?
