Chapter 400: Chapter 400 Terminating the Pregnancy

In the evening, Auntie Valerie had prepared some brussels sprouts salad and honey pork ribs at Eudora’s request.

As she set the table, she asked curiously, “Miss Eudora, your appetite has become very strange recently. Didn’t you use to hate the taste of brussels sprouts?”

“Yeah, I think that it’s weird too. My taste buds have changed for some reason…” She said, equally puzzled.

“Miss George, could it be that you’re..” Auntie Valerie started.

“Auntie Valerie, you can serve the dishes now,” Amos interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.

Auntie Valerie seemed to have read the room, so she kept herself quiet after that.

Eudora, on the other hand, had a great dinner. After dinner, she started to list down her requests for tomorrow’s meals. Auntie Valerie indulged her and took down notes, her eyes drifting to Amos momentarily.

Catching her eyes, Eudora assumed that Auntie Valerie might have been worried about Amos not liking the dishes that she had just listed out, “Amos, are my suggestions okay?”

“Sure. Just eat whatever you want,” Amos nodded.

She already knew that was what Amos would say. Once she got the confirmation, she turned back to Auntie Valerie and reassured her that it would be fine.

After dinner, she started to feel sleepy again. Hence, she decided to take a bath before going back to sleep. However, she had fallen asleep not long after getting into the tub.

Amos came back from the study and found the bed empty. He could hear the sound of water dripping coming from the bathroom.

He decided to take a look inside and saw that Eudora had fallen asleep in the overflowing bathtub. It looked dangerous.

He picked her up hurriedly and out of the bathroom, “Eudora, how could you sleep here?”

Eudora’s eyes fluttered at the sound. Hazily, she looked up at Amos and asked, “Hmm?”

“You fell asleep in the bathtub!”

“Oh, did I? Sorry, I think that I was too sleepy. It’s strange, isn’t it? I have no idea why I feel so exhausted all the time,” she smiled as she said.

Noticing her confusion, Amos was instantly filled with sadness. He didn’t know how to explain it to her.

“Well, go to sleep then,” he said, carrying her back to the bed. He wiped her dry and helped blow-dry her hair before lying down next to her.

When Eudora was finally settled, Amos started to speak up lightly.

“Eudora…”

“Yes?” Eudora answered groggily.

“Has your body been feeling off recently?”

She looked at him with blurry eyes and asked, “What are you talking about?”

Amos hesitated momentarily before continuing, “Are you sure that you don’t need to see a gynecologist?”

Eudora finally sobered up a little. She was reminded of her irregular menstruation cycles and felt a little embarrassed.

“How did you know about that?”

His heart felt as though it had torn in two. Of course, he knew. Why wouldn’t he? “There’s nothing about you that I don’t know.”

Eudora blushed and began to explain, “My menstruation period is not consistent. People told me that it should return to normal after giving birth, but that doesn’t seem to apply to me. I don’t know why it’s still so irregular after Juju. But I seem to be healthy though, I don’t think I need to see a doctor about it…”

“That won’t do. Let’s get you to the hospital tomorrow for a check-up.”

“What? Again? Can I not go to the hopital again?” Eudora bemoaned.

She hated going to hospitals.

Many people had asked Amos what he liked about Eudora in the past.

To be honest, he didn’t even know what he really liked about her himself.

However, whenever he laid his eyes on her, his heart would instantly melt. He couldn’t pinpoint anything he liked about her, but he just knew that he liked her as a whole.

He would like it as long as it was something to do with Eudora. He even liked her stubborn and indifferent nature sometimes. The only thing that he didn’t like was to see her in tears, as it would always make him feel as though his heart had been torn out of his chest.

He held her tightly in his arms before he started to speak.

“I’m sorry, but you have to do it, alright? I’ll call someone to do the check-up at home if you don’t want to go to the hospital.”

“Alright then,” she agreed, nestling further into his arms and soon fell asleep.

When Amos felt Eudora’s breath even out, his eyes fell on her lower abdomen. She had lost a lot of weight recently so her belly wasn’t very obvious. After a while, he considered reaching out to touch her belly.

If this had been his child, he might have fainted in excitement.

However, he eventually decided to withdraw his hand and shut his eyes.

The next day, Eudora got up in the morning and went to the company as usual. Amos had left early that morning, so she decided to go to the company by herself.

After she had finished her tasks for the day, she received a phone call from Auntie Valerie.

“The doctor’s here. He said something about doing a check-up for you.”

Eudora nodded and replied, “Okay, I’ll be back in a while. Oh, by the way, Auntie Valerie, please remember to prepare the two dishes that I had told you to yesterday. They’re really delicious.”

Auntie Valerie hummed in agreement through the phone.

Her secretary came in a short while after Eudora hung up the phone.

“Call me if I’m needed for anything else, I’m heading home.”

Hurriedly, she made her way downstairs with her bag and headed towards her car. Just as she had settled herself in her car, her cell rang again.

She picked it up and looked at the caller I. D. It was a call from the George family.

Thinking that something might have happened to Gordon, she quickly answered the call.

“Hello?”

“Eudora, it’s me. Are you free today? Your father mentioned you just now and he seemed eager to see you again. Why don’t you come over and pay him a short visit?” Felicia said with a smile over the phone.

Eudora checked her driving route and saw that the George family’s residence was on the way home, so she agreed, “Alright then. I’ll come by in a bit.”

After that, she reset her GPS, changing her destination to the George family’s residence. Rosaville City had undergone many changes over the past few years. With some of her memories still lost, she couldn’t quite remember the roads clearly.

When the GPS loaded, she started up her car and drove accordingly.

As usual, when Gordon saw her, he couldn’t really recognize her. All he ended up doing was sitting by the door and murmur about wanting to see Eudora. She assumed that he must be talking about Juju.

She then said to him, “Juju has to go to school during the day, so she couldn’t come to see you today. I’ll bring her here at the weekend, alright?”

Gordon nodded, despite not really understanding what she had said. When Eudora saw that it was almost time to head back, Felicia started to rush over with a pot of something.

“Eudora, I’ve noticed that your appetite hasn’t been well these few days. Here, it’s minestrone! I made it myself. Please take it back with you and enjoy it.”

Eudora had never like minestrone in the past. However, having had a sniff of it, it had somehow made her salivate a little.

However, she still insisted on not taking anything Felicia had to offer, no matter how hungry she felt. Shaking her head, she rejected politely, “It’s alright, you can keep it for yourself.”

She could always just get back home and ask Auntie Valerie to prepare it for her. With that in mind, she thought about speeding her way home.

Felicia merely nodded. Eventually, she asked quietly, “Eudora, are you really pregnant?”
