Chapter 294: Chapter 294 Not Pull the Rug Out From Under Me

In the evening, Amos Granger was still angry after Juju left.

He ignored Eudora when she tried talking to him. He got even angrier especially after he saw the X-ray which was brought over by the doctor.

“What were you thinking? How could you use your leg to do that?”

Eudora George frowned, “I couldn’t stop the wheelchair.”

In fact, Amos knew that it was pointless getting angry with her. She was right. However, he couldn’t blame the Old Master either. Perhaps someone had set the Old Master up.

Both of them were his loved ones. It didn’t matter whether it was the Old Master or Eudora who got injured because he would be upset either way.

The sense of helplessness caused him to collapse.

Amos took a deep breath, but he still could not get rid of the anger. Finally, he got up and went out to find a smoking area. He then took out a cigarette and lit it up.

Eudora understood his feelings. However, at this moment, she did not dare to follow after him. If she were to hurt her feet further, he would only get even angrier, wouldn’t he?

She had no choice but to take her mobile phone out and give Harley Louis a call.

Harley was Amos’ good friend. Perhaps, Amos would feel better after talking to him.

…

When Harley answered the phone, he was having a good time with Thea Stewart. After that night, it seemed as though sparks were flying between them. Recently, Harley had been spending all his time with Thea.

Especially at this moment, in order to pick Thea up, Harley went to a place where he knew he was not welcomed.

This place was dangerous for him.

Because of his job, Harley had often offended notorious gang members. He was currently standing in the gang’s territory.

When Harley arrived, his every movement was being watched. Harley realized it, but he was certain that nobody would dare to touch him.

He pretended not to notice them and accompanied Thea into the stores.

As they walked through the streets, more than a dozen gangsters with tools started following them covetously.

Thea was also used to this. When she saw what was happening, she was quite calm and she even got a little excited.

“Harley, are you alright? Why do I feel like I’m in a gangster movie? It’s quite romantic.”

Harley said helplessly, “If I tell you that those people are actually gangsters, will you still think that it is romantic?”

Thea’s smile didn’t fade away, “You’re a liar. You’ve been lying to me all along. I won’t believe you!”

“I’m telling the truth!” Harley’s expression was serious. When Thea saw the expression on his face, she finally believed it. She suddenly lowered her voice. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? What did you do to provoke them?”

Harley smiled faintly. “I arrested their boss…”

Thea was stunned, “D*mn you! You are going to get me killed! We have to run away now!”

“Why do we have to run?” Harley took her into his arms. His iron-like arms hugged her tightly. At that moment, she felt inexplicably at ease.

The nervousness in Thea’s heart immediately dissipated. She calmed down and said, “There are still shops further ahead. Let’s go and have a look.”

The people behind them followed them for a long time. Originally, they thought Harley was there to arrest them, but later, they realized that he was on a date.

Therefore, they relaxed a little.

Unexpectedly, as they relaxed, Harley’s phone rang. They raised their sticks again hurriedly and looked at him covetously.

Harley was not afraid at all. He even pushed a tool that was in his way aside.

“Eudora, what’s up?”

It was Eudora’s voice, “Harley, are you free now? I am at Hospital. I need your help. Could you come by here? Amos seems to be in a bad mood…”

His best friend was in a bad mood. Harley nodded immediately, “I’ll be there soon.”

After that, he hung up the phone and grabbed Thea, “Let’s go. I’ll send you home.”

Thea overheard part of their conversation, so she said hurriedly, “Was that Eudora? What happened? I want to go too.”

Harley nodded and smiled at those behind him.

“I’m sorry to disrupt your dinner. We’re leaving now. You’d better hurry up and eat!”

After that, he opened the door and left with Thea.

Everyone was speechless.

…

When they arrived at the hospital, they immediately got out of the car. Thea was about to rush into the hospital.

Harley suddenly thought of the night when Eudora and the other two women got drunk. He couldn’t help but remind Thea.

“You’re not allowed to bring Eudora out drinking again.”

Hearing this, Thea turned around and looked at him with a meaningful look, “Am I supposed to go alone next time?”

“You’re not allowed to go alone either!” Harley said. “Else, I’ll take you to the police station.”

Thea rolled her eyes at him, “Got it.”

She then immediately asked a nurse for Eudora’s room number and went straight to the ward.

Eudora waited for a while in the room but there was still no sign of Amos. However, the door was pushed open and Thea came in with a bunch of flowers in her arms.

“Eudora, what happened to you?”

Eudora was stunned, “Oh my goodness! Why are you here?” When she thought of the number she had called, she immediately understood.

“Oh! I know. You and Harley were together, weren’t you? So, how are things going between the two of you? Good?”

Thea was not shy and she nodded right away, “Things are going well. He has been spending a lot of time with me recently. Probably because he wants to pursue me. However, I won’t accept him so easily. We’ll see how things go.”

If other girls were to talk like this to her, Eudora would have felt awkward.

However, the more she hung out with Thea, the more she realized that although Thea was rather sharp-tongued and unrefined, deep down, she was very fragile.

A girl like that could only make people feel sorry for her, not hate her.

Eudora laughed, “Harley may not look very reliable on the outside, but he’s not like that deep down. If you like him, accept him. He will bring you happiness.”

Thea nodded and looked at Eudora’s foot, “How did you get injured? It hurts even looking at your foot.”

“No worries. I’ll be fine soon.”

…

Amos was still in the smoking area outside the ward. There were cigarette butts all around him on the ground.

Harley walked over and snatched the cigarette out of his hand, “Stop smoking.”

Amos frowned, “What are you doing here?” But as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have realized something, “Did Eudora call you?”

“You should know better!” Harley said.

“You are rotting here. The person who worries about you the most is the person who loves you the most. Eudora was afraid of coming out by herself, so I was her only option. Why don’t you tell me what’s wrong?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Harley saw the door of the ward opening. Thea stood there and looked at them.

Harley’s heart skipped a beat. He lit the cigarette that he had just snatched from Amos and took a drag. He spat out the smoke with a changed expression on his face. He was trying to portray a manly image.

Unexpectedly, Amos shook his head and said, “I’m fine now.”

What the f*ck!?

Harley choked on his cigarette smoke, “Amos, could you not pull the rug out from under me?”
