The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 286 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.
