The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 275

Chapter 275 How Could This Happen! 

Elias frowned upon hearing Amanda’s words. “Nosebleed? Didn’t you go to the hospital for an examination? Nosebleeds shouldn’t be taken lightly.” 

“We did. However, the test results aren’t out yet. We have to wait until this afternoon.” 

“In that case, we’ll leave first. Take care of yourself and get some rest. Elias effortlessly carried Aiden with 

one hand. 

Jack and Edith, who were concerned about her condition, spoke up, “Should I take you to the hospital for an examination? You don’t look well.” Edith chimed in worriedly, “Yes, your health is important. It’s better to get yourself checked. 

“I’m really fine. It’s just that I didn’t sleep well last night and caught a cold. I’ll have some ginger tea later. I’ll go to the hospital if I don’t feel well after that. Don’t worry. I’m all grown up and can take care of myself.” Amanda forced a smile to reassure them. Then, she sat alone on the couch while sighing heavily as she clutched her phone tightly after bidding them farewell. 

Soon, Selina approached her. “Amanda, would you like something to eat?” 

“No, thank you. I don’t have an appetite. By the way, Selina, have you noticed that Aiden seems less energetic today… I wonder if it’s related to the nosebleed.” 

“Don’t worry. Children can be like that sometimes. Maybe he’s just tired from waking up early in the morning. Selina tried to reassure her. In fact, Selina had also noticed that Aiden seemed a bit off today. He wasn’t as lively as usual. 

Just then, Amanda’s phone rang, She instinctively picked it up and glanced at the screen-it was Simon. 

She answered the call almost instantaneously. “Hello, Simon. What did the doctor say? What are the results?” Simon was left momentarily silent after being bombarded with so many questions which made Amanda even more anxious and her fingertips trembled involuntarily. “Why aren’t you saying anything? What happened?” She was so agitated that she almost lost her mind. 

Finally, Simon spoke on the other end of the line, “You’d better come over. Let’s talk in person. I’ll wait for you at the hospital.” 

“Okay, I’m coming right away!” Amanda hung up without explaining anything to the bewildered Selina. Instead, she grabbed her coat before rushing out. 

Amanda raced to the hospital. At that moment, Simon and Christopher were in Christopher’s office. Simon wasn’t sure how he was going to deliver the news to Amanda. 

“Just tell her the truth. Delaying the diagnosis won’t help. The earlier we start treatment, the better,” Christopher advised when he saw how torn Simon seemed. 

“I understand, but I’m afraid she won’t be able to handle it.” Simon glanced at the test results with a frown. so deep that it seemed as though it had been etched on her face. 

“Let me handle it, then. I can soften the blow, explain it in simpler terms, and make it less terrifying. This disease is treatable. It’s just a little complicated.” 

Just then, Amanda arrived at the office. She was panting and it was apparent that she made it all the way to the hospital in a hurry. “What’s the situation? What do the results say?” She was on the verge of a mental breakdown as her mind raced with endless terrifying possibilities. 

Simon exchanged a glance with Christopher, signaling him to speak. Christopher sighed in resignation and stood up, before patiently explaining. “The test results are out. The child may have aplastic anemia, a type of bone marrow failure caused by various factors. We need to perform a bone marrow transplant as soon as we find a suitable match…” 

Amanda felt like her world was spinning upon hearing Christopher’s words. The news hit her like a sledgehammer that she became so dizzy that she was about to lose her balance. In fact, she nearly fainted. 

“Amanda, are you okay?” Simon rushed to support her. 

Amanda couldn’t hear what the doctor was saying after that as her mind was filled with nothing but white noise. Her eyes widened as she looked at Christopher, unable to believe what she had just heard. “Doctor, did you just say that my son has aplastic anemia? And he needs a bone marrow transplant?!” 

“Yes, I’ll spare you the technical details, but your child does require a bone marrow transplant. It’s crucial to get as many of your relatives and friends tested for a match as soon as possible. The chances of success are higher with direct relatives.” 

Amanda stood there tearfully with a pale face after hearing such dreadful news. How could this happen? Why is this happening? Why is it happening to my Aiden… 

Amanda was in a daze as she stumbled out of the hospital, with Simon remaining by her side, as he was afraid that she might collapse. She felt numb as she staggered through the crowd and she didn’t even realize it when she bumped into a passerby. 

“Amanda? Amanda?” Simon tried to bring her back to reality. His heart broke when he saw how lost and miserable she looked. He was saddened that she had to bear the weight of her suffering and was genuinely concerned that she might crumble under it. 

“Simon, I’ll be okay. I have to be strong. The more hardships we face, the stronger I have to become. Aiden still needs me.” She understood the situation, but she needed time to take it in and couldn’t bear to see her child suffer. 

“Given the circumstances, you should get Elias to perform the bone marrow match at the hospital. Reach out to your relatives and friends for the tests without any delay.” Simon sighed. 

“I know…” 

Amanda wiped away her tears and took out her phone before dialing Elias’ number, but no one answered. the call. Considering the current circumstances, she refused to wait any longer and decided to go to the amusement park since she wasn’t sure about Aiden’s condition. “I’ll look for my baby. You should get back to your work,” Amanda said to Simon as she got into her car before driving away slowly. She wasn’t in the mood to wave him goodbye..
