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.
After the nurse contacted the doctor, they examined the situation and comforted the crying child.
Sometime later, he cried himself into slumber, perhaps due to the incomprehension of his condition or
perhaps due to his waning strength day by day.
Amanda accompanied the doctor to the corridor and asked with anxiety etched on her face, “Doctor,
what’s happening?”
“This illness has a sudden and severe onset. It’s progressing rapidly. That’s why I suggested a prompt
bone marrow transplant. It’s evident that the child’s condition is advancing rapidly, and it may worsen.
You have to remain vigilant to prevent further harm, as controlling the bleeding will be challenging.”
The doctor continued speaking, but Amanda seemed to have gone deaf at that moment; all she
registered were the doctor’s words of potential worsening-
Horsening…
Those words weighed heavily on her heart, making it difficult to breathe like she was being suffocated.
After the doctor departed, Amanda returned to the hospital room alone. As she gazed at her
slumbering baby, she stifled her sobs with a hand over her mouth. Yet, the tears persisted as she
wondered just what other suffering her baby would endure if the situation worsened.
A prompt bone marrow transplant was imperative, but Taylor would never willingly donate his bone
marrow. Not to mention, finding a new suitable donor would require time. Does my baby have to
continue enduring such agony during our bitter search for a donor?
As these thoughts plagued her, she felt her heart being torn apart. This baby was the result of enduring
ten months of excruciating pain. How could it not hurt her? If she could, she would willingly bear all the
suffering in place of her baby.
