Meeting Taylor in the Lift
Amanda stayed at Aiden’s side throughout the entire night, never leaving even for a moment till dawn.
She was so exhausted in the middle of the night that she eventually fell asleep in front of the bed.
Nevertheless, she continued to grasp her son’s tiny hand in fear that she might miss any changes in his
condition.
In the morning, Elias arrived at the hospital and witnessed this scene. He sighed softly as he took off
his coat gently, trying not to make any sound, then draped the coat over Amanda’s shoulders.
He had no intention of waking her. Alas, she suddenly opened her eyes after being awakened by the
unexpected warmth on her shoulder. Then, her gaze first fell upon her baby who was sleeping soundly
in the hospital bed.
She later turned her head and saw Elias and the coat she was wearing, finally letting out a sigh of
relief.
“Why did you come in the morning? Don’t you usually come at night?” Amanda took off the coat, stood
up slowly, and asked in a low voice.
Elias also lowered his voice, saying, “I cleared my schedule for the day and wanted to come here to
accompany him. How is he? Is he okay sleeping here?”
As Amanda recalled the events of the previous night, she still carried a lingering fear in her heart. So,
she didn’t reply. Instead, she remained silent as she stood beside the bed and gazed at her son, while
tears slowly welled up in her eyes.
Elias immediately noticed that something was amiss as he furrowed his brows and pressed for
answers. “What happened? Did something occur?”
“Last night, Aiden vomited blood when he took his medicine. The doctor said that his condition may
worsen.” Her voice choked with sobs, as if she could burst into tears at any moment.
Vomited blood!?
Elias dark eyes were instantly filled with shock as he gazed at Amanda for what felt like an eternity; his
fists tightly clenched by his sides.
“The doctor stressed the urgency of a bone marrow transplant, but finding a suitable donor is really
challenging, Tears continued to cascade down her face as she continued.
Elias” gaze shifted towards his son. No wonder he looked so pale. I’d already sensed something was
amiss when I arrived.
Time stretched on before he finally spoke, “Why didn’t you call me?”
“At that moment, everything was so rushed that I couldn’t find the time. Later, the baby cried and
insisted. on being held until he fell asleep, so I stayed with him.
He stood beside the hospital bed for a while, then leaned down to gently plant a kiss on his son’s
forehead before carefully tucking him in. “I have an urgent matter to attend to. Stay here with Aiden,
and if anything changes, don’t hesitate to call me immediately.”
Amanda inquired, “Didn’t you clear your schedule for the entire day to be with him? Why
now?”

Elias preferred not to disclose his plans, so he simply replied, “An unexpected situation has arisen. I’ll
return as soon as I’m finished.”
With that, he turned and made his way toward the exit of the hospital room.
Suddenly, Amanda called out to him, “Elias.”
He halted his steps and turned back to face her, waiting for her to continue.
After a few seconds of hesitation, Amanda finally said, “We can consider other options. Let’s not
pursue Taylor any longer, and let’s not force him.”
Elias remained silent and simply said, “Stay with the child. Never leave his side for even a moment. He
needs you now,”
Then, he merely turned on his heels and exited the hospital room, leaving behind the echo of the
closing door that woke the peacefully sleeping child. He tearfully called out, “Mommy..
Amanda swiftly approached the bed and cradled the baby in her arms, saying in a soothing tone,
“Mommy is here. What’s the matter? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Or, do you want some water?”
The little one shook his head and sought solace by burying her head in Amanda’s embrace, promptly
drifting back to sleep.
Since last night’s episode of blood vomiting, Amanda noticed that her baby had become increasingly
anxious, causing him to crave a sense of security that could only be fulfilled by being held. She gazed
at her baby in her arms; her heart breaking as she could do nothing but witness his suffering.
In the afternoon, Aiden insisted on having a chocolate cake, so Amanda had to request Selina to stay
with him in the hospital room while she went to purchase the cake.
Ding! The elevator doors opened gradually. As Amanda stepped inside, she found herself in the
company. of an unexpected individual, someone she both dreaded and yearned to see.
Taylor, appearing somewhat drowsy, stood inside the elevator with a genuinely surprised expression
upon. spotting Amanda. He wore a teasing smile as he remarked, “Well, well, what a coincidence to
find you in this hospital.”
Amanda paid him no mind, only standing in a corner of the elevator as she awaited her arrival at the
desired floor.
“I’m speaking to you. Why are you ignoring me? Has the cat got your tongue? I thought you were a
lawyer. Shouldn’t you be quite the talkative type?” Taylor commented casually.
Still, Amanda refused to acknowledge him. She longed to seize this man and compel him to donate
bone marrow for Aiden, but it was an impossible desire. The haunting image of her baby vomiting blood
last night shattered her heart and there stood a solution right before her, yet it was far from her grasp.
Nobody could fathom such an overwhelming sense of resignation.
Taylor intentionally ordered his butler to investigate Amanda’s background and uncover her unfortunate
past-a gambling addict for a father, a deceased mother, and a childhood spent in poverty. Tsk tsk…
how pitiable.
Unfortunately, he had yet to discover Amanda’s true identity. Once he uncovered her authentic.

background, he would no longer view her as pitiful.
He still couldn’t fathom how Elias had fallen into the clutches of this

beauty? Sure,
pure. Nonetheless, in this world, there
are countless beautiful women. Especially for someone of Elias status and position, he should have
encountered countless of them throughout his entire life.
Why is the elevator so slow? It stopped several times along the way, as the hospital was naturally
crowded. Yet, as they ascended and descended, they ended up being the only two people left in the
elevator.
Taylor continued to scrutinize Amanda, making her uncomfortable under his gaze. Finally, she
mustered the courage to speak, “Mr. Momscy, could you please stop staring at me? It’s rude.”
Taylor snapped out of his thoughts upon hearing her voice. “What’s rude about it? This world isn’t just
about you. Why can’t I look? I simply want to discover where your charm lies and why Elias succumbed
to you.”
“Has he truly succumbed to me? Then, why did we get divorced?” Amanda retorted with an icy
expression.
Taylor chuckled. “Isn’t he really concerned about your child now? You have to understand that a man
has to first have affection for the woman before he can develop a fondness for the child she bears.”
“What nonsense. The child is his own flesh and blood. Of course, he cares. After all, it is the Winters.
Family’s lineage.
Taylor clicked his tongue. “It appears you still don’t understand Elias’ character. He is not a man who
can be restrained by societal norms. If he doesn’t like a woman, he wouldn’t let her conceive or give
birth to a child, let alone allow the child to survive until now.”
Amanda remained silent, too fatigued to engage in an argument.
Finally, the elevator arrived, and the doors slid open, followed by Amanda walking out without casting
at glance back at Taylor.
