The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 285

Chapter 285 Potential Worsening 

“That doesn’t mean we can allow Elias to act aggressively. It’s illegal, and if Taylor decides to press charges against him, he could end up in jail. In that case, Elias’ whole life will be ruined.” Amanda immediately. expressed the seriousness of the situation, which would destroy Elias’ entire life. 

Yacob fell silent. He certainly knew that, but he couldn’t dissuade Elias either. 

Amanda continued, “So, we should quickly search for a new bone marrow donor. We can’t let Elias resort to extreme measures that would harm others and himself!” 

“But… Where do we even begin to find a suitable donor in such a short time? You should know that both the Allegras and the Winterses have mobilized all their relatives and friends for compatibility tests, but none of them turned out to be a match. Who would have thought that in the end, Mr. Winters’ enemy. Taylor, would be the one with a successful match?” 

Yacob disagreed with Elias” approach, but he also had to acknowledge the difficulty in finding a suitable bone marrow donor. 

Amanda lowered her gaze, bit her lip, and made up her mind. She continued, “I know it’s difficult, but we will eventually find one. Even if Elias’ method leads to Aiden’s recovery, he will spend the rest 

of 

This life in prison. Will Aiden really be happy when he grows up? We shouldn’t be so extreme. There will definitely be a suitable donor. I believe so!” 

Yacob remained silent, not because he believed Amanda’s words, but because he felt that speaking further would be futile. After all, he couldn’t stop Elias. 

In the evening. Amanda stayed with her son, engaging in their usual bedtime routine of storytelling. 

“Mommy, the story you told wasn’t interesting at all. Daddy tells more exciting stories.” 

“Really? What story did Daddy tell you?” She used to be the one telling these stories, so she wondered why the baby no longer enjoyed them. Could it be that he has grown up? 

Aiden wore a mysterious expression as he covered his mouth with his tiny hands and whispered into Amanda’s ear, “Daddy tells scary stories about ghosts. He even said that if children don’t sleep after hearing those stories, ghosts will come and take them away.” 

She thought in the silence, Why would this man tell such things to a child? 

“Aiden, it’s time to take your medicine. We’ll go to bed soon, and the nurse will come for a check-up.” Amanda took out the pills and a cup of water while gently coaxing the baby to take the medicine. 

“Mommy, I don’t want to take these medicines. They taste so bitter. When can we go home? When will I finish the homework given by my teacher?” 

Aiden had only been in the hospital for two days, yet impatience had already begun to set in. Throughout these two days, not only did he resist taking the medicines properly, but he also spat them out secretly. 

Amanda didn’t want to deceive her baby or give false hope about when they could return home, so she said, “I don’t know either, baby. We’re waiting for an update. Can you be a good boy and take the medicine?” 

“Mommy, I’m not even sick. Why do I have to take medicine? I don’t want to… Aiden pushed away the 

 

offered pills with a disgusted look. 

The medicines were undeniably quite bitter. Even adults found them unpleasant, let alone children. Alas, there was no other choice… 

“Aiden, do it for Mommy’s sake. It’s good for your health and can help you grow tall, just like Daddy.” 

Aiden became slightly intrigued, but a hint of doubt lingered in his eyes. “Really? Can I grow as tall as Daddy?” 

“Of course! When has Mommy ever lied to you?” Amanda showed a sincere smile. 

Aiden snorted, “Mommy always lies to me.” 

Nonetheless, he had a strong desire to grow as tall as Elias, so he grabbed all the pills and swallowed them with several sips of water. 

Amanda couldn’t help but smile at how obedient her baby truly was; every day at the hospital, she witnessed the heart-wrenching scenes of critically ill children crying and resisting treatment, even refusing to take their prescribed medications. 

Her only wish now was to swiftly find a suitable bone marrow donor for her baby’s transplant and be discharged as soon as possible. It was evident to her that Aiden genuinely disliked staying in the hospital. 

Just as Amanda placed the cup down, Aiden regurgitated all the ingested pills right at the next moment, accompanied by a significant amount of blood… 

Blood! A horrifying sight of blood! 

Amanda was left stunned for a full three seconds, until she heard her baby cry out, asking, “Mommy, I’m vomiting blood. Why…” 

Why? Right! Why is this happening? 

Amanda finally snapped out of her trance and cradled Aiden. “There, there, don’t cry, Mommy is here. It’s alright, don’t be scared…” 

He clung tightly to Amanda’s body, frightened by the red liquid that emerged from his own mouth; he couldn’t comprehend why he was vomiting blood. 

While Amanda comforted her son, she pressed the call button and within less than a minute, a nurse rushed into the room. “What happened? Is something wrong?” 

Tears streamed down Amanda’s face as she tightly held her child, pleading, “Please help me examine why he’s vomiting blood. He just took the medicine, and then he vomited it along with blood. What’s going on?” 

“Give me a moment. I’ll call the doctor.” 

Amanda’s tears rolled down her cheeks as she cradled her baby close. Her heart was on the verge of shattering as she noticed the bloodstains around his tiny mouth.
