Kesha never regarded Eudora as her sister. Hence, when she knew that Eudora had an accident, she was actually overjoyed.
Therefore, she deliberately came here to see what the accident was about.
However, of course, she would not express her true feelings in front of everyone.
At this moment, she said in a hurry.
âEudora, I thought that you couldnât see anything. How did you know it was me then?â
Eudora frowned, âYour perfume is strong and familiarâ¦â She then sneezed in Keshaâs direction.
Kesha immediately let out an âEwwâ and said, âWhy did you do that? Youâre sneezing all over my face!â
Unbeknownst to Kesha, this was Eudoraâs intention all along.
However, she merely imitated Keshaâs pretentious look, âSorry, I couldnât see.â
Kesha pouted and snorted in dissatisfaction.
Steven immediately spoke up, âItâs okay. Kesha was just concerned about you. Knowing that something happened to you, she immediately came to see you!â
Eudora didnât bother to pay attention to him. Amos then said, âYou have seen her, and you also know whatâs going on. You may leave now.â
Steven got up, âAmos, please donât be angry. I donât believe what my mother had said about Eudora is true. As for the will, it is what I have said earlier, I donât have any motives about taking over the company. When Eudora gets better, I will let you take over the company. I will help you to take care of it first. Donât worry, and I will keep an eye on the company affairs.â
Amos merely acknowledged with a slight âhmâ. Then, the two of them turned around and left.
In the distance, she could still hear Kesha complaining.
âUgh, itâs so disgusting!â
âItâs alrightâ¦â
Eudora anxiously looked for Amos after they left. However, she couldnât see at all, so she couldnât find where he was.
In the end, Amos walked over and held her hand.
âDonât move. Iâm going to open the window and let some fresh air in.â
Eudoraâs panic immediately dissipated upon hearing his voice.
She smiled wryly and nodded, âWell, itâs time to open the windows and get rid of the pungent perfume smell.â
The wind blew in from outside the window. Eudora breathed a sigh of relief, âIt feels so much better now.â
However, she frowned when she recalled what Steven said earlier.
âDid something happen to the meeting? Was it because of me? Amosâ¦â
Amos sighed, and the next second, he pulled her into his arms and pressed her head against his chest gently.
âIâve already said that everything is fine, havenât I? Donât worry about it. You should have a good rest, okay?â
âI have a lot of questions in my mind now. Do you think that I could still rest well like this? I wanted to help you. I had never wanted to become your burdenâ¦â
Amosâ heart sank, his arms tightening around her.
âYouâre not a burden to me at all. Alright, Iâll tell you then. But you have to promise me that you would not be anxious over it.â
Later, when Amos told Eudora about what had happened during the meeting and especially emphasizing how Bethany had shown up with a new will, Eudora seemed visibly surprised.
She finally realized what was going on.
She had thought that Bethany was acting weirdly for the past two days.
Was this the reason then?
âButâ¦â She pursed her lips, âWhy did she do that?â
The Old Master was still looking out for her before he died. Why did she do this kind of thing then?
Amos reached out and grabbed her hand, âDonât think about it anymore. Itâs not something we could decipher easily. Donât worry about it!â
âButâ¦â Eudora remembered that Amos had handed Valiant East over to Steven, âThey probably want to seize the opportunity to take charge of the company for themselves! How could you hand over Valiant East to them?â
Amos said coldly, âThat depends on whether they have the ability to do that or not. Not everyone could handle Valiant East. Well, your eyes are still unwell, you should go to sleep quickly. Iâll stay here with you.â
It was true that Eudora was feeling rather unwell. Her head was throbbing.
Hence, she nodded and soon fell asleep.
When her breathing gradually slowed into a steady beat, Amosâ eyes fell on the gauze on her head.
He couldnât believe that they werenât involved in Eudoraâs accident. They knew that Amos wouldnât be satisfied with the conditions of the will. So, they conjured up a scheme to hurt Eudora when he least expected it.
When he saw her unconscious self drenched in a pool of blood, his heart almost stopped beating. He was really scared. He knew that he couldnât afford to lose her.
He had a wife and a daughter now. He was no longer the previous Amos who would strive alone.
When he was alone, he could fight fearlessly, and it didnât matter even if he got hurt. However, everything was different now.
If he couldnât fight them face to face, he could only a fort by strategy.
â¦
It was already dark when Eudora woke up.
Although she couldnât see, she could hear the sound of a nurse coming over to deliver something.
âDinner time!â
Before Eudora could move, Amos spoke. His voice was as indifferent as ever, âPut there.â
When he turned his head and looked at Eudora, his eyes were full of tenderness, âAre you awake?â
The nurse looked at Eudora enviously, turned around, and went out.
âYes,â Eudora responded and got up in a daze.
Amos came over with something in his hand, âAre you feeling hungry? Iâll feed you.â
She couldnât see anything anyway, so she obliged. After eating a few mouthfuls, she seemed to recall that something was amiss.
âWhereâs Juju?â
Amosâ fingers paused, âShe went on a trip!â After everything that had happened, he immediately asked Aunt Valerie to take Juju away from the Granger family. No matter where they went, it would be much safer than staying in the Granger family.
âThatâs so suddenâ¦â Eudora pursed her lips. However, on second thought, when she remembered what Amos had said about Bethany earlier, she felt that it was for the best.
Now that Rosaville City had become unsafe for them. Perhaps it would be better for them to leave the city.
Amos wiped her mouth gently after she finished her food. Just as he asked someone to take the dishes away, the phone rang.
Amos picked it up, it was Jujuâs excited voice.
âDaddy, Mommy. I am in another city now! It is so beautiful! We are very happy.â
âAh! Juju, you have to take more pictures of the scenery and show them to Mommy then!â
âSure!â Juju giggled.
Soon, another pleasant voice was heard, âEudora, President Granger, donât worry. Iâll take care of Juju.â
Eudora was startled. It was Anyaâs voice.
Since Anya was good at both literary and martial arts, she was relieved to have her accompany Juju.
After chatting for a while, Juju then bid them goodbye. She blew a kiss through the phone.
Eudora quickly reached over. Before she could speak, the phone was hung up.
âWhy did you hang up so quickly? I havenât given my daughter a kiss yet!â
As soon as her words fell, a warm kiss fell on her lips. Eudora was speechless.
Amos whispered in her ear, âThis is a kiss I helped Juju to present you.â
Before Eudora could react, the next second, Amos held the back of her head and leaned forward, pulling her face to his lips.
âThis is the kiss that youâre giving me on behalf of our daughter!â
Eudora was speechless.
