Chapter The Devil Himself!!..
After having that conversation with Ryan, Amy had really thought hard. She couldn't understand why they are using her son's health against her.
She had planned to take Liam to the hospital after he was back from school; she had nowhere to go today.
Ella had arranged a friend of hers that has the same blood marrow as Amy's son. She will be the donor.
Everything has been arranged, and the transplant will take place at the most equipped hospital in town.
Amy had really thought about her son's life and decided not to endanger it; Her kids were her backbone, and she won't be able to live if anything should happen to either of them. Taking a ragged breath, Amy gave Elena a call to be sure everything was in order; she had not deposited the money yet for the hospital bill.
"Ring Ring Ring*
Elena's phone rang for the third time before she picked up.
"Hello, good morning, babe. How are you doing?" Elena asked From the other, like, immediately she clicked the answer button.
"Everything is fine." Amy said in a voice that doesn't really sound bright.
"Your voice sounds weak; are you sure everything is fine?" Elena asked, not believing Amy; they knew Amy so well and were sure everything wasn't okay.
"Yes, sure, everything is fine. I just called to let you know that the donor for the marrow should be present today; we don't have enough time. I will send every detail."
"Yes, sure. Everything is already in place. See you at the hospital by then." Elena said hopefully.
Just then the call ended. "Dear Lord, I know I am a sinner, but I beg of you let my son's bone marrow transplant be a success. Amen."
Amy said this short prayer from the depths of her heart as she clasped her hands together, looking upward in tears.
*******
A few hours later, Amy was called by the school management.
"Good afternoon, madam. Your son is in a very critical condition. The doctors are asking for his parents." The headmaster of Liam School said.
"Doctors? My son lost consciousness again?" Amy asked nervously, her heart thumping as fast as a ticking clock.
"Yes, ma, be here soon." The headmaster said his voice also sounded worried.
"This must be serious." Amy mumbled and dashed to her wardrobe to dress in something she could wear to the hospital.
Picking up her phone as she hurried out of the house, she gave Elena a call, telling her and giving her an update on what was at hand.
"I will be there with the donor shortly." Elena said everything was happening so fast.
Amy's head was banging; she was having a severe headache, and her heart was in pain. She couldn't understand why a small child like her son would be going through all this.
With a heavy heart but also a hope that everything will be fine, she boarded a cab going to the city hospital.
The worst of it was that there was a traffic jam and her phone kept ringing every minute.
Each time she picked up, she heard the headmaster's teary voice. "The condition is really bad, ma'am; where are you? Do you have a donor already?"
So she decided not to take any more calls.
"Fuck!" She yelled and dashed out of the car, paying off the cab driver. There were many traffic jams.
She came down and was running to the hospital, something that was impossible. She got to a point where she was so tired, and she realized how stupid she was. The hospital was still very far from where she was standing.
Without hesitation, she stopped another cab. "Please drive so fast; I need to get to the city hospital in ten minutes." She said to the cab driver as she entered the cab. Emotionally, she was down, but she had to be strong for her kids. She also had to be strong not to let her enemies smirk at her.
Being a single mother is not easy, but she kept striving to be a mother and also a father to her twin kids.

A message came in, this time it was from Elena, and it reads:.
"I am at the hospital now, and the doctors are already trying to check to see if my friend is disease-free before the transplant can begin, but also you have to sign. If not, the doctors won't touch the child... Hurry up, babe." This was the message, and as Amy read it, hot tears streamed down her cheeks from both sides.
"Hurry! Hurry! Just hurry, please." Amy shouted at the cab driver, who seemed so surprised to know if the woman was okay.
He was driving at a high speed already, and Amy was still screaming in a hurry; that was what baffled him.
Only if he could understand why she was acting that way would he speed up that car again.
In less than five minutes after Amy received the call, she was still inside the cab.
Liam was dying at the hospital; the doctors had lost hope; they weren't sure he was going to survive. Everything was just late, and none of his parents were there to sign.
The worst part was that it would bring Amy down.
After ten minutes of still being in the car, Elena was still bombarding her with messages.
When she was now close to the hospital, to the surprise of the driver, she was already out of the car before the car had stopped.
She gave the cab driver his money and ran like never before into the hospital. Only as she was about to enter the entrance she collided with a tall, huge man.
Before she could fall to the floor, he caught her and made her maintain her composure.
"What!" Amy freed herself from his grasp after realizing it was Redford.
She didn't give him a second look, as she rushed to the main hospital and was welcomed with the pale face of Elena, the headmaster, and one other teacher that came with him. Their faces were darkened with a bad emotion, as though they had lost someone.
"What is the matter? Where is my son?" Amy shouted at them. She was running mad mentally.
"Something has to be done; the lady I brought has diabetes, and the doctor confirmed it is bad and she can't be the donor." Elena proclaimed weakly.

I thought you said everything was in place. Weren't you aware? Ohhh! Arghhhh!" Amy screamed so loudly and held her hands on her head.
Where is his room? Amy asked, shaking Elena, who was crying already.
Elena pointed. Amy ran so fast, but before she could enter the room, she was held by some nurses.
"Madam, you can't go in now. Please calm down and try to do something quickly if you don't want to lose your son."
"What am I supposed to do? Are there any options?" Amy asked in tears.
"You are so lucky; Mr. Redford has volunteered to be the donor, and that is up to you." The nurse said, and just then Amy sniffled.
Before she could plan her next line of action, she heard a familiar, cold voice.
"I have something for you; I offered to help, and you turned me down. Here is the deal to sign if you really want my help." Redford said and handed a biro and envelope to Amy. Redford stood there, his presence intimidating and with his cold demeanor. He had brought something he had ever wanted for Amy to sign.
Bewildered and confused, Amy took the paper from him. He was her only hope now. Elena kept nodding and signaling her to sign it.
Knowing how stubborn she might be. But Amy's heart was frozen; her hatred for Redford had disappeared.
All that was in her brain was to save her son's life. The doctor had come to tell her she had twenty minutes to save her son's life already.
Taking the envelope, she opened it to sign it. Even without reading, this was when her eyes magnetized something in the deal, and she looked up to Redford's face.
Surprisingly, he gave her a satisfied smile, and she could see her helpless self in his piercing orbs.
Just then the file and pen dropped from her hands...
What was Redford up to? What must have been in that deal?
Redford is indeed a devil in human clothing.
What was he doing there?
