Chapter 324 Stay Out of Men’s Affairs
“Reasons? What reasons? He simply wanted to use you to save his son! Why can’t you see through this?! Now that he’s happy with his woman and child, he wants to chase you away, and you’re still speaking up for him!” Taylor was about to explode out of rage. After all these years, his sister hadn’t changed a bit.
She had said she wouldn’t pursue Elias anymore, but every word she spoke was in defense of Elias. How could she claim to have let go?
What a load of rubbish!
Taylor finally realized that his sister had fallen for Elias in this lifetime.
The atmosphere became extremely tense.
Rosie angrily shouted at Taylor as tears streamed down her face, “I want to! It’s none of your business! I’m willing to give everything to him, even if he’s using me! I want to! I want to! I want to!”
Her words stunned Taylor.
Even Elias, who was being shielded by Rosie, was taken aback, as well as Amanda, who stood beside them. Elias felt a sense of shame and pulled Rosie aside. “Step aside. Stay out of men’s affairs.”
Rosie was pushed to the side. As she stumbled and almost fell to the ground, Amanda quickly caught her.
“Are you all right?”
“I’m fine. Taylor! Stop it!”
Rosie instinctively pushed Amanda away with a look of disdain, causing Amanda to take a few steps back.
Meanwhile, Elias noticed this scene and tried to reach out and support Amanda,
Taylor became even more infuriated at the sight of this. Seizing the opportunity while Elias was defenseless, he threw a punch at Elias’ face.
“How dare you push her away! Do you have no conscience? If it weren’t for Rosie, your son would be in the morgue by now!” No one could talk sense into Taylor now. After years of frustration, he finally had an outlet for his anger.
He remembered when he almost knelt outside the Winters Family’s residence, begging Elias to see his sister. Yet Elias didn’t even let him in the door. The humiliation was unbearable.
Elias wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and retaliated. He threw a punch back at Taylor.
Rosie let out a shrill scream. “Ahh! Taylor, stop it! Stop hitting Eli!”
Her scream was deafening to everyone present.
The chaotic scene gave Amanda a splitting headache. Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore and walked between the two men, shouting furiously, “Stop it!”
Elias halted his impending punch when he saw Amanda, and Taylor also stopped.
Amanda nervously closed her eyes because she had seen the two men’s fists about to descend upon her.
However, nothing seemed to happen after she waited for a while.
She slowly opened her eyes while breathing a sigh of relief. Then, she spoke. “Enough! Stop fighting! It’s my fault. This is all my fault.”
Amanda looked at Elias. “I taught your son to say those things. In truth, it was because I didn’t want to stay here. Now that everything is fine, there’s no need to chase Rosie away.”
After saying that, she turned to Taylor beside her. “I’m sorry. It was my fault. Your sister saved Aiden’s life, and we shouldn’t have been so ungrateful. I sincerely apologize to both of you and hope you can forgive me. I also hope that Rosie can stay and recover before leaving. I want to see her leave healthy. Please agree
to it.”
She bowed sincerely to Taylor and Rosie while expressing her remorse.
In fact, it seemed that all this conflict had originated from her. Taylor’s hurtful words earlier had also inspired her.
Even if Amanda didn’t like Rosie and even if Rosie harbored suspicions, Rosie had willingly donated her bone marrow and saved Aiden, who was suffering.
So, at the very least, she couldn’t casually doubt Rosie.
Elias remained silent with a grim expression on his face, while Taylor was at a loss for what to do due to Amanda’s intervention.
Rosie cursed in her heart, What a shameless woman. She’s so good at pretending.
However, she had to act like a gentle and virtuous lady. She feigned a look of grievance and innocence as she said, “Amanda, you don’t have to do this. It was all my own choice. I…”
“No need to say more. It’s my fault. Please stay. I apologize on behalf of Aiden for his impolite words and sincerely hope you will stay,” Amanda said each word deliberately.
Late at night.
Amanda didn’t leave tonight. Instead, she chose to stay in the estate because Aiden couldn’t be comforted no matter what she did.
After a long time of soothing him, he finally fell asleep. However, Amanda couldn’t sleep and went out to the balcony to get some fresh air.
She felt a great sense of oppression in her heart. Although she had shown her magnanimous side, she felt deeply frustrated.
To be honest, she still couldn’t completely let down her guard against Rosie.
Just then, she heard faint footsteps behind her and couldn’t help but turn around. At that moment, she already knew who it was.
“Why aren’t you sleeping?”
Amanda smiled and replied, “I couldn’t fall asleep, so I came out to get some fresh air. What about you? Why aren’t you sleeping?”

Elias walked over to her side and followed her gaze to the sparse stars in the night sky. “I couldn’t fall asleep either.”
After a while, he shifted his gaze back to her profile. “You didn’t have to do that. If you don’t like her, you don’t have to force her to stay. I can arrange for her to go somewhere else. There are plenty of places for her to enjoy hot springs.”
Amanda suddenly spoke while looking at the stars. “Do you believe in retribution?”
Elias did not reply.
He detested hearing that word the most. What was retribution?
He clenched his fists by his sides and lowered his gaze slowly. “What are you trying to say?”
“Nothing. I just find some things quite miraculous. So many people have gone through bone marrow matching, yet only Taylor and Rosie’s bone marrow were successful matches. Perhaps it’s fate.”
Elias frowned unhappily. “Fate?”
What was fate? Wasn’t it just another word for retribution?
Elias sneered. “Are you trying to tell me this is retribution?” NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Amanda looked at him and shook her head. “No. I think this is an opportunity for reconciliation given to us by fate. In life, there’s no need to create so many enemies for ourselves, especially when you have someone dear, someone important to you, that you have to protect. So, let’s seize this chance.”
If it were the old her, she wouldn’t believe in such things and would go against it, but now that she had Aiden, all she wanted was to protect the health, safety, and happiness of the people most important to her.
After hearing her words, Elias gradually loosened his tightly clenched fists.
Ever since he learned about Aiden’s existence, he had restrained his temper a lot. He also wanted to create a healthy environment for his child to grow up in.
Perhaps… Amanda had a point.
