Christopher shouldnât be blamed for having such an idea. The situation before him was too unrealistic and out of the blue like a fantasy story.
How would the public think of a cold and aloof man like Amos? They probably perceived him as a decisive and ruthless man, and perhaps also a man without much emotions and affection!
Yet, at this moment, he was holding a notebook piously and sitting in front of him, asking about the symptoms of Eudoraâs pregnancy.
Christopherâs first reaction was to doubt his own eyes! Was he hallucinating?
However, Amosâ eyes told him that it was true. Christopher could tell that he was very serious and focused!
Christopher relaxed his knitted eyebrows and spoke again.
âWhy are you asking me this?â
If Amos was telling the truth, was he doing this to get even with him then? Christopher couldnât help but think this way!
âBecause you were with her at that time.â
Christopher took a gasp secretly. Amos was a vindictive man after all. As expected, he had come to settle past grievances with him!
âI can explain it! It was you who made Eudora angry at that time. Otherwise, I wouldnât have left with her. Moreover, she and I are definitely just friends, nothing beyond that, and I have Tina, Iâ¦â
âAre you done? If you are done, then letâs get down to business.â
Christopher was confused.
Was he really here to consult him? Christopher wondered as he looked at Amos as though he was looking at a lunatic.
After a long time, he finally realized something.
âIs Eudora pregnant again? Is she pregnant with a second baby?â
Amosâ hand, which was holding a pen, stiffened slightly. He immediately nodded his head, âYes!â
Christopher breathed a sigh of relief and said, âYou should have told me earlier. You gave me a good fright. By the way, how âefficientâ can you two be! With a second child so soonâ¦â
Amos didnât talk anymore. After Christopher finished, he started to recall.
âWhen I was with Eudora, I realized that she gets sleepy often. Besides, she seemed to have a sweet tooth after she got pregnant. She had pretty serious edema as well. I remember that she started swelling since the sixth month of her pregnancyâ¦â
Amos took note of all of these details and waited for Christopher to finish before he started speaking.
âWhat about morning sickness?â
Christopher shook his head and said, âI donât think that she has it. She didnât vomit while conceiving Juju. At least, after she left with me.â
He asked hurriedly when he noticed that Amos was frowning, âWhatâs wrong? Is her vomiting severe lately? Is she in danger? Have you found a doctor?â
Christopher asked these questions in one breath. The customers walking past them all stared at Christopher and Amos as if they were crazy.
They were still gossiping in a low voice.
âHave I heard it wrongly? Those two men seem to be talking about morning sickness.â
âAre they gay?â
âIt seems like it!â
Christopher was at a loss for words.
Were these people deaf? They were obviously talking about a woman!
Christopher rolled his eyes, only to see that Amos had consciously stood up and already one meter away from him!
Christopher didnât know what to say.
âWhere are you going?â
âTo avoid further misunderstandings!â Amos said casually, âIâm not interested in you.â
Christopher was flustered.
He thought to himself, âYou make it sound like Iâm interested in you. Iâm not gay either, okay!!!â
Howeverâ¦
Looking at Amos behaving like this, Christopher couldnât hold his laughter and said, âAmos, Iâm sure that you didnât know this, but IÂ didnât think highly of you when Eudora fell for you. I kept asking myself, whatâs so good about you? Apart from being handsome, you have no other advantages. Plus, you are also so indifferent and apathetic. You are so indifferent to the point that you donât need an air conditioner at your home due to your cold aura! But now, it seems that Iâve changed my view of you. When you helped me last time, I realized that you are very loyal to your friends. Besides, today, youâve put your pride aside and came to me for help. Iâm glad that Eudora found herself a good husband!â
Amos frowned, âTo be honest, your opinion doesnât carry any weight to me at all. Besides, itâd be better if you stop admiring me that much. As I said, Iâm not interested in you!â
After that, Amos turned around and left coolly.
Christopher was left alone with mixed emotions.
â¦
After leaving the cafe, Amos went to visit Doctor Leon in person.
Earlier that morning, Doctor Leon thought that Amos might look for him after hearing the obstetricianâs report. Therefore, he had been waiting, but he did not expect that Amos would actually appear.
As he watched Amos enter the room, Doctor Leon had already smiled before he could speak.
Amos frowned, âWhy are you smiling?â
Doctor Leon smiled for a few seconds and said, âIâm not laughing at you. I just thought that it was rather interesting. In the past, when they said that the Old Master and Hank were infatuated with their ladies, I thought that it might just be a coincidence. But now, you are the same too. It seems that it does run in the family. When did you ever behave like this, getting so anxious just because of her morning sickness?â
Amos glared at him, âYou doctors arenât capable enough, yet you dare place the blame on the patientâs family.â
Doctor Leon was speechless, âIf the patientâs family are all as irritable as you, then there would be no doctors left. What an awful bargain to be killed by infuriated family members.â
Amos pursed his lips, âLetâs not talk about this. Do you have any reliable friends from the obstetrics and gynecology field? Introduce them to me. I have a lot of questions to ask!â
Doctor Leon took the booklet from Amosâ hand and looked through it while he was not paying attention. Then, he almost burst into tears from laughing.
âThings to take note of during morning sickness.â
âSolutions to relieve the swelling of pregnant women?â
âHow could a pregnant woman lead a healthier lifestyle?â
âAmos, you are exaggerating it, donât you think? In fact, pregnant women are not as pampered as you think they are. Many pregnant women would work and live their lives as usual after getting pregnant. Spoiling a pregnant woman might actually pose some problems when she finally goes into laborâ¦â
As soon as Doctor Leonâs voice fell, Amos lowered his head and added another sentence.
âPregnant womenâs exercising rules.â
Doctor Leon was speechless.
Forget it. He knew that he wonât be able to convince Amos.
âMy daughter has just returned from her studies in Country M. She also had a few years of experience with obstetrics and gynecology abroad. If you are still worried, Iâll ask her to keep track of Eudoraâs pregnancy! What do you think?â
Amos gave it a thought.
âYour daughter? Whatâs her name?â
Doctor Leon was flustered.
âYou little br*t. Donât you trust me? Helen, my daughter, has even published medical articles abroad!â
Amos nodded, âOkay! Iâll trust you this time.â
Doctor Leon laughed with a little hint of dismay, âBr*t, are you kidding me? You are too obsessed now. If your father was still alive, do you think that he would be at ease? I heard that something happened to Valiant East recently. Are you not going to attend to it?â
Amos frowned, âDoctor Leon, you are just a doctor!â
âFine, Iâll stop talking then! Wise words from the elderly are truly not well appreciated.â After a pause, he said again, âI heard that you and Eudora have gotten your marriage certificate. I havenât got the chance to congratulate the two of you! Initially, I wanted to have a talk with you, but since you have decided to get married, you should move ahead. Things in the past should go with the wind. But now, looking at you, I think that I donât have much to say! You are a responsible man, and I sincerely hope you and Eudora can be happy forever in the future.â
