The personâs flashed towards her and Eudora could not dodge it in time. Before she knew it, that person had already slammed into her. It was so painful that she gritted her teeth.
For this reason, that person fell to the ground and could not get up as well.
Meanwhile, another person came up from behind and grabbed the woman. âYou horrible woman, youâre finished today!â
Eudora was taken aback and said, âHarley?â
Amos and Juju also rushed over to help Eudora. When Amos saw the bruise on Eudoraâs wrist, his face instantly turned cold.
âWhatâs going on?â
However, Harleyâs eyes fell on the child who was riding on Amosâ shoulders and said, âAmos, you have fallen. How could a brilliant star like you become like this because of a child? Whatâs the difference between you and those mediocre men now?â
The girl who had just bumped into Eudora looked curious and asked, âWhat do you mean?â
âHe had become a slave of his daughter!â
âTsk!â The girl said grumpily.
Harley came back to his senses and said, âWhy are you talking to me? Youâre not a good citizen. Stand still.â
The girl rolled her eyes at him and stood up.
Amos called, âHarleyâ¦â
âYes!â Harley stood straight and said, âIâm sorry. Iâm catching criminals.â
âWhat criminal?â The girl looked unhappy.
âYou!â Harley said through gritted his teeth and continued, âItâs the fourth time! If you can run away from me today, Iâll change my surname to yours!â
Amos frowned and looked at Eudoraâs wrist. âWeâd better go back and patch this up!â
âIâm fine!â Eudora shook her head and said, âItâs just a small cut. Iâll just buy a band-aid.â
âHelp! You have to save me!â the girl hugged Eudoraâs arm and said, âIâm not a criminal but this annoying guy is always following me. Please help me!â
âHow dare you harass my friend?â Harley said and tried to pull the girl away quickly. However, she refused to let go.
In the end, Eudora almost fell because of the girlâs grip and Amos went to her rescue hurriedly. Then, he glared at the two of them resentfully.
âEnough. Whatâs going on?â
âWeâ¦â The two of them started talking at the same time and it was very noisy!
Amos gritted his teeth and said, âOne by one.â
âIâll start first!â Harley said, âItâs like this. I went for a crackdown once but she escaped. So, in order to fulfill my duty, I decided to find her.â
Amos nodded and turned to the girl, âWhat about you?â
The woman glanced at Amos and said, âIt seems that you are the boss, right? Thatâs great. Let me tell you, your friend here has mental problems. Iâve told him so many times that Iâm not a prostitute and I donât run that kind of business. That day, I just sent something to the club but he wouldnât believe me and had been chasing after me ever since. What do you think of that!â
âNonsense!â Harley gritted his teeth and explained, âWhen we went in, you were being beaten up by a woman. How dare you say that you are notâ¦â
âIâm really not! I was beaten up because Iâm a relationship consultant and the woman who beat me up was the mistress!â
âWhat? Relationship consultant?â
âYes, thatâs right! The man did not like his woman anymore, so I pretended to be the manâs mistress to get rid of the actual mistress!â She took out her identity card and said, âSee, look carefully!â
Harley glanced at her card and then threw it back to her.
âSo what? Someone like you is immoral too.â
âDo you have moral standards then? You follow me around all day long and I havenât sued you about wasting the taxpayerâs money!â
âYouâ¦â The two of them started quarreling again. Meanwhile, Amos had dragged Eudora away.
âYour wound grazed the floor just now and it would get infected easily if you leave it like this. Iâd better take you to the hospital for disinfection first!â
Eudora was still thinking about Harley and that woman and she could not help but laugh. âHarley might have met his nemesis this time!â
Amos glanced at her and said, âYou are also my nemesis.â
Eudora did not know what to say.
She turned to see Juju hurriedly, who immediately covered her ears and said, âI didnât hear anything.â
Eudora was at a loss of words.
âWatch your mouth when you talk in front of a child next time!â
Amos was taken aback and he repeated, âNext time?â
Only then did Eudora realize that she had a slip of a tongue because she was too angry, âIâm notâ¦â
âI heard it. You canât go back on your words!â Amos said immediately.
Eudora did not want to argue with him, so she let him take her to the hospital.
After disinfecting her wound, they were not in the mood to go out anymore, so they were prepared to go home.
At this moment, Amosâ phone rang. His face changed drastically as soon as he picked it up. âWhich hospital are you in? Iâll be there right away.â
âWhatâs wrong?â Eudora asked quickly.
âHeâs sick! Heâs in this hospital. Iâll get a car to send you backâ¦â
âItâs okay. Weâll just go back by ourselves. Youâd better hurry and take a look at him!â
Amos nodded and he quickly turned to enter the hospital again.
Juju was curious as she stared at Amosâs anxious silhouette. She could not help but ask, âWho is Daddy talking about?â
âItâs Daddyâs father!â Eudora replied. She felt a little guilty. She had long known that the old man was in poor health. How could she forget? She should have asked Amos to go home to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Old Master Granger had always been very ill-tempered and he must be furious with Amos for not going home to celebrate Thanksgiving!
âDaddyâs father is my Grandpa, right?â Juju suddenly added, âIs Grandpa ill?â
Eudora wanted to say that Old Master Granger was not her grandfather but she felt that it was meaningless to argue about this with a child. Therefore, she merely nodded and said, âSort of!â
âShall we go and see Grandpa?â Juju asked.
âThat wonât be good,â Eudora hesitated. The Old Master did not like her and she did not like him either. Wouldnât they just argue if she went over?
âWouldnât it be worse if we donât go? Besides, Daddy has been with us for so long just now. Are we just going to ignore Grandpa?â
Juju was like a little adult and her points seemed to be valid.
Eudora had no choice but to nod. She then said, âOkay! But we must not speak and weâll just take a look from a distance okay? After all, we havenât met anyone from their family yet.â
âOkay!â Juju nodded.
The two of them followed the direction where Amos ran to just now and soon, Eudora saw the entire Granger family standing in front of the emergency room.
Amos stood in front of them and said nothing.
Behind him were Bethany, Harry, and Kaylene. Bethany was expressionless but Harry kept talking.
âAmos, Iâm not being a busybody but itâs your fault this time. Itâs Thanksgiving today and yet, you refused to come home to eat with your father. Youâve gone too far.â
Kaylene pretended to stop Harry, âThatâs enough.â
âWhy should I stop? Heâs the only son left but what did he do? Heâs such a heartless son.â
