Like Losing One’s Soul
“Okay, I’ll tell her,” Simon said before leaving the consultation room. When the door closed, a wicked
thought suddenly came to Simon’s mind.
If Aiden truly had leukemia, and only he could be a bone marrow match… Would Amanda lean toward
him? He knew that harboring such thought was despicable and vile, but if he continued to wait and not
do anything, Amanda would inevitably reunite with Elias, and he would lose all hope.
Meanwhile, in the rest area, Amanda smiled as she cradled the peacefully sleeping Aiden in her arms.
It was a mother’s smile that came from the depths of her heart. Just then, Simon approached her.
Amanda raised her head when she caught sight of him and asked anxiously, “How did it go? What did
the doctor say about the test results? Is it serious?” Although she believed there shouldn’t be any major
issues, she couldn’t help but seek out some form of reassurance.
Simon furrowed his brow and kept quiet for a few seconds before finally saying. “There’s nothing major,
but…”
Amanda heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that but her heart instantly sank at the word “but. “But
what? Tell me! What exactly happened?” Amanda could feel her heart leap to her throat.
“My friend mentioned that there aren’t any major concerns for now, but nosebleeds aren’t a good sign.
We -need to take this seriously and conduct another blood test to confirm if it’s leukemia or a similar
condition. Don’t worry. It’s merely a precautionary examination to put our minds at ease, Simon made a
show out of the explanation, deliberately making it sound even worse than it was.
Amanda couldn’t find solace even after hearing his words. It was as if her heart plunged into an abyss,
and she looked at him with widened eyes. “Leukemia… How can it be so serious?”
“Don’t overthink it; it’s not that serious. My friend mentioned it’s just a routine check-up for our peace of
mind.”
Amanda attempted to calm herself and suppress her agitation before saying. “Alright, let’s do it.
Regardless of the outcome, we need to do it to put our minds at ease.” However, the thought of putting
Aiden through another blood draw pained her deeply.
During the previous blood draw, she had spent a considerable amount of time coaxing him to help him.
endure the pain. Amanda could clearly feel the child’s fear during the procedure. She was in utter
dismay as she held the little one tightly in her arms.
When Simon noticed Amanda’s distress, he gently patted her shoulder and said, “Don’t worry. It’s just a
routine check-up.”
The wicked thoughts that Simon harbored earlier disappeared upon witnessing Amanda’s troubled
expression. He didn’t want to hurt her. Aiden was the person she cherished with her entire being, and
hurting Aiden would be equivalent to hurting her. Let it be. Let things unfold naturally. Relationships are
not something that can be forced.
After that, Simon accompanied Amanda for the child’s blood test before driving them back home.
Throughout the entire process, Amanda’s face turned increasingly grim as she considered countless
horrendous possibilities.
“Amanda, try not to be too anxious. Let’s wait for the test results,” Simon advised.
“I know, I’ll be fine. Thank you. I’ve taken up a lot of your time today, and I apologize for that.” Amanda
lifted the still-slumbering Aiden as she exited the car.
Simon attentively opened the car door for her and said, “Don’t worry about it. I’ve taken care of you in
the same way during the past four years we were abroad.” It was a casual remark, but it made Amanda
think that he was reminding her about it.
“Thank you,” she expressed her gratitude before heading upstairs with the child in her arms. As Simon
stood in place while watching her figure, he suddenly felt a pang of heartache for what she was going
through.
Amanda wilted the instant she was in the confines of her home. She was like a plant that was about to
endure the first bite of winter.
Selina, who was cooking in the kitchen, rushed out to greet them upon hearing their voices. “You’re
back! The food is almost ready. Wash your hands, and we can cat.” However, she became startled
when she saw just how pale Amanda’s face was. “Amanda, what’s wrong? Did Aiden fall asleep?”
Selina reached out to take the child from Amanda’s arms, but Amanda held the little one even tighter
and murmured. “It’s fine, let me hold him a little longer.”
“Okay, but what’s going on? You look as if you’ve lost your soul.”
Amanda gazed at Aiden in her arms and spoke in a quavering voice, “Selina, do you think I haven’t
devoted enough time to my child? Should I spend more time with him?”
“What’s the matter? Why are you crying? Please don’t cry.” Selina hastily got a tissue before gently
wiping. away the tears that were about to roll down Amanda’s face. She was genuinely surprised by
how distressed Amanda was.
Amanda kept her head lowered and her voice quavered as she spoke, “Today, Aiden had a nosebleed
at school, and we couldn’t stop it no matter what we tried. We went to the hospital for an examination,
and while they didn’t find any najor issues, they suggested further tests to investigate the possibility of
leukemia…
“What! That’s impossible! Aiden is usually so healthy so it can’t be true. Don’t think that.” Selina’s heart
sank as she was shocked by the sudden revelation.
“Yes, let’s hope it’s nothing serious.”
“It will be fine. So, there’s no reason for you to worry your head over it. Aiden has always been well
taken care of. How could he suddenly have leukemia? Children having nosebleeds is quite common.
Perhaps he’s been drinking less water lately and the weather is hot. I’ll make him some herbal tea to
help cool him. down.”
“Thank you.” Amanda nodded gratefully.
“No need to thank me. Are you feeling hungry? Go ahead and eat something. Let’s wake Aiden up and
have him eat too. I’ll prepare some cooling tea for him.
As Amanda watched Selina walk away, an inexplicable sense of distress gnawed at her, leaving her
unable to pinpoint the exact reason..
Throughout that sleepless night, Amanda anxiously awaited Simon’s call with the test results.
Unfortunately, the hospital had informed her that the results wouldn’t be available until the afternoon
due to the complexity of the tests.
The next morning, Aiden woke up earlier than usual, washed up, and finished breakfast obediently, as
he cagerly anticipated Elias’ arrival to take him out to play. Although he appeared excited, Amanda
could sense that he seemed a bit tired and lacked his usual energy, which intensified her anxiety.
Ding-dong! The doorbell suddenly rang. Aiden rushed to the door, knowing that it was Elias coming to
pick him up. When the door swung open, Elias stood there, accompanied by Jack and Edith, all
donning hopeful expressions. After all, they had finally found their long-lost daughter and now had a
grandson. They were genuinely elated.
Only Amanda had a grim expression on. Elias was quick to notice that something was amiss. So, he
inquired as he furrowed his brows, “What’s wrong? You don’t look well. Have you been tired recently?”
“Oh, it’s nothing. Perhaps I didn’t sleep well last night. Take Aiden out to play. Oh, and make sure he
drinks plenty of water today. The weather has been getting hotter these past few days, and he had a
nosebleed yesterday.”
