Chapter 293 Being Particular Despite Going Mad

"Daddy!" Aiden exclaimed happily upon spotting Elias.

A flicker of tenderness softened Elias' cold and handsome face as he approached the bed and gently patted his son's head. "Good boy. Finish your soup first, and then we can talk." With that, Selina patiently fed another small bowl of soup to Aiden until he finished it. Once done, she picked up the thermos and left, granting them some precious alone time. "Daddy, Mommy came to visit me just now," Aiden said earnestly. "She said she'll be back soon to keep me company."

Elias immediately frowned upon hearing that. "Your mommy came back? Where is she

now?"

Having searched every nook and cranny without replaceing Amanda, and with her phone remaining unreachable, he was surprised to learn that she had come to the hospital. What is Amanda doing? Why did she turn off her phone, sneak into the hospital, and then vanish without a trace? What on earth is she up to?

During this critical moment, Elias was already at his wits' end, and the thought of something. happening to Amanda threatened to push him over the edge.

However, upon hearing Aiden's words about Amanda's visit, he felt a sense of relief. At the very least, it indicated that Amanda wasn't in immediate danger.

He shook his head. "I don't know. Mommy said she wanted to talk to the doctor about something and promised to come back soon, but she hasn't returned yet. Daddy, do you think she is lying to me?" "How could that be? Your mommy would never lie to you. Just wait here for a moment. I will go replace the doctor," Elias replied.

"Daddy, I want you and Mommy to stay with me." Aiden held tightly onto his hand.

Elias gazed down at his son's upturned face and smiled reassuringly. "Okay. Be a good boy and wait for me."

Walking out of the ward, he coincidentally ran into Selina, who had just returned. "Stay by Aiden's side, and don't leave even for a moment," he instructed.

"Yes, Mr. Winters," Selina responded dutifully.

Elias arrived at the doctor's office and knocked on the door.

"Please come in, came the response.

As he entered, Christopher promptly rose from his seat. "Mr. Winters, what can I do for you?"

"Dr. Smith, I heard that Amanda was at the hospital earlier. Did you happen to see her?" Elias inquired.

"No, I didn't see her. The nurse on duty mentioned that she arrived at the hospital, spent some time in the ward, and then left," Christopher replied.

Elias furrowed his brows. Did she leave again? Why did she come back only to leave? Where could she have gone?

Exiting the office, he dialed Amanda's phone number once again, but it remained. unreachable.

The uncertainty only compounded as he realized he was also unable to locate the donor who had suddenly changed their mind. He was left wondering if Amanda had found the person. or if there were other circumstances at play.

At this moment, Yacob rushed to the hospital, panting as he approached Elias. After regaining his composure, he reported, "I've checked it. The surveillance at that nursing home. has been tampered with. There is no footage available, and they claim it's due to maintenance. I suspect Miss Bailey did visit the place and may have gone missing there. Otherwise, it's too much of a coincidence for the surveillance to suddenly malfunction."

It became clear that they needed to investigate the nursing home further, as it held potential. clues to Amanda's whereabouts.

Elias' foremost concern revolved around whether Amanda had been deceived or abducted. by the supposed bone marrow donor. He worried that someone might be taking advantage. of her vulnerable state to extort more money.

A sudden realization struck him, and he turned to Yacob. "Find out which psychiatric hospital Rosie Momsey is in. Is it the same one?"

Yacob appeared puzzled upon hearing that. "The donor this time is a woman. It doesn't seem to have any connection to Taylor Momsey. Why should we investigate Rosie?"

He couldn't quite comprehend the reasoning behind it.

However, Elias had a chilling suspicion forming in his mind. If his hunch was accurate, Amanda might be in Taylor's clutches at that very moment.

"Just get it done! No more questions!" Elias exclaimed impatiently.

"Yes, understood!" Yacob replied hastily before turning to leave. As Elias closed his overwhelming sense of exhaustion settled between his brows.

eyes, an

At the Momsey Residence, Amanda was overwhelmed with exhaustion and desperately craved a moment of rest. However, a dilemma arose as Rosie occupied the only bed in the

room.

The thought of sharing a bed with Rosie was out of the question. What if Rosie suddenly succumbed to madness and strangled her to death?

With that thought in mind, Amanda approached a nearby single couch and settled herself to

get some rest.

She lay down for barely three seconds before Rosie, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes. "Maria, I want to take a bath. I want to wear beautiful clothes. I want to see Eli." Amanda found herself speechless.

Despite Rosie's descent into lunacy, Elias remained the focal point of her thoughts. It was as if her love for him had seeped deep into her very bones. After gathering herself, Amanda rose from the couch and approached the bed. Facing Rosie, who was lying there, she said, "Get up. I'll take you for a bath."

Rosie complied without resistance, getting up from the bed and slipping on her shoes. Following Amanda's lead, she obediently made her way to the bathroom.

After Amanda adjusted the water temperature, she helped Rosie undress. As Rosie's clothes. came off, Amanda was taken aback by the multitude of self-inflicted scars on her arms. It became apparent that Rosie had a history of harming herself.

Amanda guided Rosie into the bathtub, absentmindedly tending to her needs. However, her mind was preoccupied with thoughts of her son at the hospital.

"Maria, didn't you say Eli would come to see me? When will he arrive? Which dress should I wear to meet him?" Rosie's expression turned bashful, as if she was deeply in love. The predicament now surfaced.

Who is Maria? Perhaps it's Rosie's former maid who used to attend to her.

Amanda didn't press for more information. It was futile to expect coherent answers from

omeone in a state of lunacy. All she could do was offer reassurance. "Miss Rosie, you look beautiful in anything you wear. Eli will like it, no matter what."

As soon as she finished speaking, Rosie slapped her across the face.

Enraged, Amanda demanded, "Why did you hit me?"

She felt an overwhelming urge to retaliate, but she suppressed it for the sake of Aiden's impending bone marrow transplant. Holding back her fury, she reminded herself to stay. focused on the bigger picture. "Who permitted you to call him Eli? That's my exclusive title for him. No one else is allowed. to address him that way! Who are you to call him that?" Rosie retorted.

Amanda found herself at a loss for words. Rosie's madness had reached its zenith, and reasoning with her seemed futile.

"I'm sorry, Miss Rosie." Amanda refused to engage in an argument with the deranged woman. She just wanted to get through these ten days as swiftly as possible.

Even if Rosie hadn't descended into madness, Elias would never be interested in her because of her terrible temperament..

The man was known for his notoriously short temper, and he wouldn't tolerate such arrogance in his presence.

"It's good to know your mistakes. And one more thing!" Rosie's voice took on a threatening. tone as she added, "When Eli arrives later, you are forbidden to even glance at him. If you dare, I'll gouge out your eyeballs! Do you understand?"

Amanda had no choice but to accept defeat. She maintained her silence, simply nodding in acknowledgment.

"Miss Rosie, it's time to come out now. You're done bathing." Amanda made several attempts. to coax Rosie out of the bathroom, feeling the urge to pull her out. Taking care of this unpredictable and volatile woman had become an immense challenge for Amanda.

However, Rosie appeared dissatisfied and complained, "I've only been in for a few minutes. I'm going to meet Eli later, so make sure to wash me properly! Add some milk to the bathwater. I want my skin to absorb all the nourishment and become fair and supple!"

Amanda found herself utterly speechless. She's gone mad, and yet, she's still being particular over such trivial matters.
