Chapter 284 A Story From the Past
Yacob nodded in agreement and faced Elias with a grave look on his face, waiting for him to make his
decision. s, Elias’ mind was made. “I know what I’m doing. Both of you, please just do what you’re
supposed to do and don’t cause more trouble for me if you’re really serious about saving Aiden.“
Amanda and Yacob shared a look, slipping into silence as they watched Elias returning into the ward to
continue reading the storybook for Aiden.
Amanda stood outside the ward as she watched as Elias expression turned gentle in an instant. He
had shifted to the role of a loving father in the blink of an eye as he patiently told a story to his son as
though the person who berated them earlier wasn’t him but someone else instead.
Then, Yacob dragged her to a corner. “Lord, you really went to the Momsey Residence! I thought that
you’d leave when you found out that we weren’t there, but you actually went in after we left. This is as
good as rocking the boat!”
“I… Just don’t want to miss out on this chance.” She merely wanted to give it a shot, thinking that she
could convince Taylor with her charisma. s, judging from Taylor’s reaction, it seemed that she had
underestimated how dire the situation was between Elias and Taylor.
Yacob was hopping mad. “Did you think that you could convince Taylor with your words? That’s
impossible! You have no idea what kind of feud existed between Mr. Winters and him, and it was a feud
that can never be reconciled. That’s utterly out of the question.”
“I think it’s about his sister. Why does he hate Elias so terribly?” A curious Amanda couldn’t figure out
what could have happened that made Taylor despise Elias so badly.
Initially, Yacob didn’t want to speak about this, but seeing how reckless she was, he had no other
choice but to tell her about it. Therefore, he stole a peek at Elias in the ward and said, “Let’s talk
outside.”
So, she tentatively closed the ward door and followed him to the hospital garden.
In the garden, they chose a secluded corner without anyone, and Yacob started to tell her a story from
the past, “I didn’t n to bring this up, but I think it’s better for me to tell you so that you won’t keep
going to the Momsey Residence and do something dumb. Once I finish telling you everything, I can
rest easy knowing that you won’t do anything idiotic.”
Is it really that serious? Amanda thought, feeling a tight squeeze in her heart. In all honesty, she was
still carrying a small glimmer of hope that Taylor would donate his bone marrow.
He sighed wearily as he slowly began, “This happened many years ago, and actually, it had nothing to
do with Mr. Winters. It was Rosie Momsey that pushed herself off the edge.”
“Rosie Momsey? Is she Taylor Momsey’s sister?”
“Yes, she’s the one I’m talking about. Back then, this girl was courting Mr. Winters very aggressively
and everyone in the circle knew about it. She was crazy about him, but he wasn’t interested in her at
all. She started to pester Mr. Winters ever since they were in high school, and he had always ignored
her. Later, when he went abroad for studies, she insisted on following him abroad, too.” Amanda was
stunned to silence that she was so obsessed with Elias, and Yacob continued, “This girl… Even though
Mr. Winters had rejected her countless times, she kept bothering him. If anydies got into contact with
him, or even spoke to him, she would make life hell for the women. In the end, no women dared to
approach Mr. Winters, and it was all because of Rosie. Then, when he returned to the country after
graduation, she
continued with her ways and wouldn’t let him out of her sight. Once, he rejected her in public and totally
embarrassed her, hoping that she’d give up, but guess what happened after that?”
“What happened?”
“She attempted suicide by threatening to leap off a building! That woman created a really huge scene
at that time, creating such a stir that it even hit the headlines. If Old Mr. Winters hadn’t suppressed the
news, I think the entire country would know about it until this day.”
Amanda’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets in shock. “Suicide? Leaping off a building? So, she
died because of that?”
Yacob waved his hand. “Let me finish. This was considered the first time she made such a big scene
and Taylor came looking for Mr. Winters to help resolve the situation. Because it concerned a life, he
went and saved her. After that, things should have cooled down and she should have given up, but she
didn’t and kept bugging Mr. Winters. She wanted nothing but to be his wife and used all sorts of means,
even going as far as spiking him. Do you think this is love? This is purely an obsession.”
“It is truly messed up, but then what? What happened afterward?” She couldn’t wait to find out what
happened to Rosie and why Taylor hated Elias with every fiber of her being.
“After? After that, Mr. Winters kept rejecting her nonstop, and finally, he couldn’t tolerate her anymore
when she stole his dirtyundry and pped him. Then, she started crying and making a scene again.
threatening to kill herself. But this time, she didn’t jump off a building and chose to take sleeping pills
instead.”
Amanda balled her hands into fists in astonishment and thought. This girl is really tough on herself.
“She finished a bottle of sleeping pills and almost lost her life from it. After she was sent to the hospital,
she was under emergency treatment for a few days and finally managed to stay alive. Unfortunately,
her mind snapped after that incident. And now, she’spletely mad and locked up in a mental
hospital.”
Now that Amanda was aware of the full story, all she could think was that Rosie was a perverted
person. who lost her mind due to her decisions. “So, Taylor hates Elias because of this?”
“Yeah. When Rosie was taking the pills, she threatened her family to get Mr. Winters to see her. If they
didn’t, she would finish the entire bottle. So, Taylor went to look for Mr. Winters again, but Mr. Winters
was truly annoyed because he was already overwhelmed with work after taking over thepany and
didn’t have the time to waste onforting Rosie. Hence, he didn’t even let Taylor into the house at
that time. Taylor waited outside the house in vain for hours, begging him to save Rosie, and still, Mr.
Winters didn’t agree to meet her. In the end, she kept to her word and finished the pills. She almost
died from her actions and ended up losing her mind. Of course, Taylor bears a grudge against Mr.
Winters for this.”
Finally, she understood the situation. “In other words, if Elias had agreed to meet Rosie that time, there
is a chance that she wouldn’t have taken the pills and be as mad as a hatter.

“She definitely wouldn’t have taken the pills because that was just her means to threaten Mr. Winters to
meet her. It’s an old trick of hers, always ying the pitiful card. On the other hand, Mr. Winters couldn’t
possibly allow himself to be threatened by her his whole life, could he? He doesn’t even like her. Why
would he spend any time on her? Furthermore, if that continued, he would be wrapped around her little
finger.” Yacob himself couldn’t help but grit his teeth in frustration when he recalled Rosie’s face and
everything she did.
Amanda nodded in agreement, imagining that Elias was most definitely thoroughly annoyed at that time
because a woman he didn’t like pestered him to that point.
When she fell silent in her contemtion, Yacob sighed helplessly. “Now you know everything. Taylor’s
sister lost her mind because of Mr. Winters and Taylor had always been a very protective elder brother.
There’s no way that he would donate his bone marrow to Mr. Winters’ son. You can forget about such a
notion.”
