Knowing that Juju was taken good care of, Eudora was much more relieved.
The two of them stayed in the hospital as usual. Just like before, Eudora nestled in the arms of Amos and fell asleep.
The next morning, when Eudoraâs eyes fluttered open, she heard Amos whispering in her ear, âGood morning.â
Only then did Eudora remember that she was at the hospital. However, her vision seemed to be affected. At this moment, she could not see anything at all!
Her face showed bewilderment for a moment. The next second, Amos had already held her with his big hand.
âGood morning.â
Eudora, who was flustered, was relieved instantly. She smiled at him and greeted, âGood morning.â
The nurse then came in to help her wash up but she was driven away by Amos.
âIâll do it! You just need to clean up the room.â
The nurse started cleaning the room as she watched Eudora being carried into the bathroom by the handsome man with envy. He helped her to wash her face, brush her teeth.
After breakfast, Harley and the others came.
He was holding hands with Thea. Both of them seemed to be very much in love. Amos felt relieved and averted his gaze quietly.
Thea was embarrassed instead. She let go of Harleyâs hand quickly and looked at Eudora, who was in a daze, with pity.
âEudora, you really canât see anything now?â
Eudora heard Theaâs voice and shook her head hurriedly, âIâm fine. Itâs just temporaryâ¦â
Amos frowned and huffed to Harley, âTell your woman to mind her words!â
Didnât she notice that Eudora was already depressed? How could she still say that!
Harley shook his head at Thea immediately. Thea also realized that she had been too blunt so she apologized in a hurry, âEudora, Iâm sorry, Iâ¦â
âItâs okay!â Eudora shook her head, âIâm really fine. Donât treat me like a fragile glass doll, okay?â
Hearing this, Thea threw herself at Eudora immediately, âEudora, youâre the best. Letâs hugâ¦â
Amos was speechless.
The next second, he had already stood in front of Thea and blocked her, âHarley! Watch over your woman!â
Harley didnât know what to say.
Was everything his fault?
Eudora looked confused, âWhatâs wrong?â
Thea looked helplessly at the two men who were making a fuss, âI wanted to hug you, but they blocked me!â
Eudora was at a loss for words.
She reached out with her intuition and grabbed the man in front of her, saying, âAmos, weâre having a girlsâ talk now. Donât make trouble here, okay?â
A series of question marks appeared on Amosâ head as he couldnât believe his wife was siding with Thea.
Harley, who was at the side, burst out laughing, âIâm sorry. I didnât mean to laugh, but I really couldnât hold it back.â
He had never seen Amos so worried for anyone before. He was even reprimanded by Eudora for protecting her. What was odder was that even when he was scolded, he still wore an expression of âeverything my wife said was rightâ, which was really a surprise to him!
However, he was stopped by Amosâ sharp gaze after a laugh. Then, he followed Amos out knowingly.
After they left, Thea looked at Eudora with admiration. âEudora, youâre amazing! President Granger is such a powerful person, but he actually listened to you.â
Eudora pursed her lips in embarrassment, âHarley will listen to you too in the future. Donât worry.â
â¦
Outside the door, Amos and Harley went straight to the smoking area.
Harley handed Amos a cigarette. âDonât you care about your company anymore?â
Amos refused him, âI donât smoke recently. She canât see anything now.â
The implication beneath his words was that Eudora could only rely on him as she couldnât see anything now. She did not like the smell of tobacco, hence he could not smoke.
Harley was taken aback, âAmos, are you still the same person I knew back then?â
Amos rolled up his sleeves and showed his fist, asking, âDo you want to have a try?â
Harley surrendered immediately, âDonât do that. Okay okay. I believe you.â
Amos snorted and finally said, âWho said that I donât care?â
Harley paused, âThatâs true. Itâs not your style to let go of it completely. Why? Are you playing the long game again? But didnât you try this method before? Will he fall into the trick again this time?â
Amos shook his head, âI donât know. But I couldnât take any more risk, thus I could only do this. I donât want to see Eudora and Juju hurt again because of me.â
Harley patted Amosâ shoulder, âAmos, I understand. Just let me know if you need any help.â
âThereâs something that I really need you to do!â
Harley was startled. âWhat is it? â
âDrop by TEM Inc when youâre free. Since weâre in the same industry, they could pay more attention to the situation. As long as thereâs any straw in the wind in Valiant East, ask them to inform me. Itâs not impossible to create some trouble when itâs necessary,â Amos instructed.
Harleyâs spirits rose in an instant. He knew that Amos was not the kind of person who would sit there and wait for death.
âThatâs the Amos I knew from before! Donât worry, I promise Iâll arrange everything smoothly for you!â
When the two of them went back, there was a voice of another person in the ward. It was the nurse.
âMiss Stewart, you might not know this, but President Granger really treated Miss George very well! The nurses in our hospital are all envious of her!â
Eudoraâs smiled brightly, âNo, no.â
Harley couldnât help but mutter, âEudora has become hypocritical now. Look at her, she is smiling. Sheâs on cloud nine yet sheâs still being modestâ¦â
âPiss off! Who do you think you are to judge my wife?â
Harley didnât know what to say.
How harsh! He made it sound as though he was the only one with a wife!
He reached out and hugged Thea. Then, he said, âThea, letâs go home!â
Thea pushed him away, âDid you wake up from the wrong side of the bed today?â
Harley was speechless again.
After all of them left, Amos walked over and asked Eudora. âWould you like to go out for a walk?â
Eudora was stunned. âCan I?â
Although she couldnât see anything, it bored her to stay in bed all the time. She would love to go out for a walk!
âYes.â
âThen⦠Is it alright if I ditch the wheelchair?â Eudora asked again. She really didnât want to be in the wheelchair! She just recovered from her leg injury, hence she had been in a wheelchair for a long time.
Now that she couldnât see, she would have to take a wheelchair again if she were to head out!
Seeing her wrinkled face, Amos reached out and smoothed her hair.
âOf course. As long as Iâm here, why not?â Moreover, the doctor had said that the blood clot would dissolve faster if Eudora was in a good mood.
Perhaps, this way, she could recover as soon as possible!
âYay!â Eudora cheered in an instant and almost hit the bottle on the cabinet. Fortunately, Amos took her into his arms speedily.
His handsome face, which had been full of smiles at first, finally showed a trace of worry.
âDonât leave me for more than three steps later. You must hold my hand tightly. Do you understand?â
At this moment, Eudora was only thinking about going out and getting some fresh air, so she agreed to anything naturally.
