Amos usually would not intervene too much.
However, Eudoraâs situation was different now. First of all, she was pregnant, and second of all, she wasnât feeling well!
There were so much bacteria in the hospitalâs ward. What if she was infected?
Amos pursed his lips, âNoâ¦â
He had to put his foot down this time around.
Eudoraâs mouth suddenly twitched. âAmos, how could you do this? Thea is my friendâ¦â
Amos pulled her over in the next second.
âDo you think what Thea needs is your care? What she needs the most now is a man! A man who could protect her from all difficulties,â Amos said.
Originally, Eudora didnât believe that her intelligence seemed to have taken a toll after she got pregnant. Now, after listening to Amosâs analysis, she realized that her concern was a little too superficial.
âYouâre right. What should we do then?â Eudora asked.
Amos pointed in the direction of the door. She looked in the direction where he pointed, only to see a man approaching anxiously.
Harley?
Eudoraâs eyes lit up. âHubby, youâre so smart!â
His heart warmed up immediately from the fact that sheâd called him âHubbyâ in public as well as the glimmer of admiration in her eyes.
âCall me that again!â
Eudora was stunned and she realized that sheâd been a little too excited. She lowered her head quickly and said, âAh, letâs talk about it more when we get home!â
At this moment, Harley had already come over.
He spotted Thea almost immediately. She was standing in the crowd in a hospital gown. Her big eyes, which were originally brilliant, were now empty and confused.
His heart skipped a beat. He asked, âDidnât you say that you have someone to take care of you? How did you end up like this?â
Thea was about to leave in a haste, but Harley grabbed her arm before she could.
âThea, are you still not going to tell me the truth even until now? You didnât find that man at all, and youâre not getting married. When are you going to stop lying to me?â
His words were like sharp knives, piercing through Theaâs heart.
Originally, she had already hated her identity as an illegitimate daughter. She hated her mother for her profligacy and her entanglement with the man who was already married.
She really didnât want to be like this, especially in front of Harley.
Thinking of this, Thea hit Harleyâs arm subconsciously.
âYeah, I didnât find him. But so what? If you want to laugh at me, then laugh as much as you want. Iâm unscrupulous, and Iâm a bad woman. Are you satisfied now?â
Harley didnât expect that his simple words would trigger such a reaction from Thea. For a moment, his anger grew stronger.
When he was about to speak again, Theaâs tears rolled down from her eyes all of a sudden.
She had always been a confident person. They had known each other for so long. Except for that time when they were drunk, he had never seen Thea cry in front of him.
âAre you happy now?â Thea asked coldly. âCould you let me go now?â
Harley felt his heart skip a beat. The next second, he pulled her into his arms.
âIâm sorry!â
She must have been already upset to be in such a state. What he should have given her was concern and not criticism like this.
Thea didnât feel like crying that much at first, but now she wanted to cry even more after Harley held her.
âHarley, why are you so late?!â
Yes, she hated him. Why didnât he just confess that he liked her when she asked him that night?
Why did he refuse to confess his love to her every time she pursued him? She was a girl. Did she have to confess her love to him herself?
However, in the end, the one she hated the most was still herself.
Why did she drink? She could just pluck up her courage even if Harley didnât confess to her. Now that things had turned out like this, she didnât deserve him anymore.
She wiped her tears again and let go of Harley.
âThank you for telling me this. I feel much better now! Iâm going back to the ward!â
After that, she turned around and tried to leave.
Behind her, Harley shouted all of a sudden, âThea, will you marry me?â
Theaâs body trembled and she stood rooted on the spot. She dared not look back, afraid that she was hallucinating.
Yes. She must be hallucinating right now.
Why would Harley propose to her all of a sudden? Didnât he know that she was pregnant with someone elseâs child?
However, the next second, the people around them cheered.
Thea looked back subconsciously and saw that Harley was already on one knee.
âThea, please marry me!â
He looked in her direction and repeated.
âHarley, stop it!â Thea replied hurriedly.
Harley shook his head and said, âIâm serious. I want to marry you. This is something Iâve been thinking about for a long time.â
Thea shook her head and refused, âAre you pitying me? I really donât need it.â
âIâm not!â Harley shook his head. âI love you, how could I be pitying you?â
âBut Iâ¦â She looked down at her baby bump which was still not showing much. For the first time, she wished that she wasnât with child.
âI accept everything that belongs to you!â
Harley confessed.
He had already thought it over on his way to the hospital. No matter whose child it was, he would accept it wholeheartedly.
He finally understood why Amos could still take care of Eudora so carefully even when he thought that the child in Eudoraâs belly was not his.
Because no matter whose child it was, that woman was still the only person he held dear in his heart. If he loved someone, he could accept everything about her.
Her safety and health was the most important thing.
Thea covered her mouth and could not speak for a while.
However, Eudora, who had been watching from one side, sniffed and burst into tears.
As soon as Amos lowered his head, he saw the little woman crying and laughing, and wiping her tears away. He was at a loss.
âEudora, donât cryâ¦â
Eudora shook her head. âIâm not crying, Iâm happy. I really didnât expect that Harley, the playboy who always flirted around, would love Thea so deeply.â
Amos frowned. For some reason, he regretted letting his little woman see the scene of Harley proposing to Thea.
He cleared his throat and asked in a low voice.
âDonât you think that Harleyâs arrival is quite coincidental?â
Eudora was taken aback and she replied, âIs that so? I donât think so!â
Amos was speechless.
The little woman actually didnât get it. Obviously, it was he whoâd called Harley to comeâ¦
The childish Amos showed how aggrieved he was.
A t this moment, Eudora laughed all of a sudden, âIâm just messing with you. I knew that it had to be you. You called Harley over, didnât you? Hubby, youâre amazing!â
The corners of Amosâs lips curled up. He reached out and caressed Eudoraâs head, teasing, âWhat a naughty girl!â
