Steven laid there, lifeless. He did not smile, nor did he respond to her words.
After slapping him across the face, Kesha reached out to hold Steven and began to cry.
âDidnât you say that you had other things in mind from the start? Why did you save me even after I tried to kill you? Are you stupid? You might as well be cruel to me like that day. Thatâs how you should be.â
Kesha threw the card that she was holding onto to Stevenâs body. âI donât want your card! Do you think that you could make me feel guilty by giving me this? Do you want me to never forget you? Impossible! Steven, if you die, I will forget you on the spot and find a better man!â
She stood there and stared at Steven for a while.
In fact, she was hoping that Steven could still get up and beg for her forgiveness.
However, nothing happened even after a long time.
The policeman behind him reminded her, âWe need to goâ¦â
The next second, Kesha hugged Steven and shouted with all her might, âIâm so sorry, I shouldnât have killed youâ¦â
The policeman frowned. âMiss, itâs time.â
Kesha ignored him and continued hugging Steven. She couldnât bear to let go. After weeping for who knew how long, Kesha wiped her tears away and looked at the deep valley in front of her.
The police had only surrounded her from three sides. Everyone knew that in front of her was a deep valley, so no one gave any attention to it.
Kesha was stunned for a moment before she said.
âMy mother is dead, and you too have died. There is no one else in the world who cares for me. Whatâs the point?â
At this moment, she didnât know where her strength came from. Suddenly, she dragged Steven and headed towards the deep valley.
Meanwhile, Harley was sending Amos to the car. He initially planned to come back for her. However, as soon as he arrived, he was horrified by the scene before him.
He shouted hurriedly, âSheâs trying to kill herself. Stop her!â
However, they were too far away from Kesha. When they did get to her, they could only grab onto the edge of her sleeve.
Kesha jumped down into the deep valley, dragging Steven down with her.
She murmured in her heart, âI killed you in this life, so now Iâll give you my life. In the next life, could you be nicer to me? Weâll be together again, wonât that be great?â
âSh*t!â Harley couldnât help but swear. âWhat are you guys doing? Report back to the station and send people down to search.â
It didnât matter whether Kesha really wanted to die, he couldnât let her get away!
â¦
Eudora sent Amos to the hospital, and he went straight into the emergency room.
Fortunately, although the wound was very deep, his vital organs werenât damaged. However, his spine was, and he might suffer some complications in the future.
âWhat complications?â Eudora asked hurriedly.
The doctor was calm when he answered, âIt shouldnât be a big problem, perhaps a back sore or something like that. You need to be extra careful and try not to let him hurt his waist!â
Eudoraâs expression was pale, âIs there anything we could do to cure it?â
The doctor shook his head, âThis is only a small problem. Iâm just stating the possibility of it occurring. So, you donât have to worry too much.â
However, Eudora was still unconvinced even hearing what the doctor said.
She had been murmuring at the bedside since the doctor left, âYouâve injured your bone, so you should eat more calcium. Iâd better go back and bring your things here. Iâll cook you some soup too.â
Amos had always been in good health, so he woke straight up after the surgery.
He looked a little pale, but his eyes could never leave Eudora even for a moment. Seeing that she was safe and sound, he finally felt at ease.
He did not care how much pain he was in.
When he heard that she wanted to go back alone, he immediately reached out and pulled her hand. âWhat are you going back for? If you need anything, just call Cindy to bring it over. As for the soup, she can make it.â
âIâll be more at ease if I do it myself,â Eudora said with her eyebrows furrowed.
âAre you worried about me?â Amos grinned. His lips were pale, and they seemed even paler when he smiled.
Why was he still smiling at a time like this?
Eudora suddenly scolded him, âWho said that Iâm worried? I just donât want you to suffer any complications after this.â
Amosâ smile grew even wider.
âAre you worried that it will affect our marriage? I wonât let that happen, believe me!â
Eudora was flabbergasted.
She covered Amosâs mouth, her face getting hot.
âDid you hear yourself?â They were in the hospital, and the door was wide open. What would other people think if they heard!
He hadnât seen Eudora being embarrassed in a long time. He was pleased to know that half of her worries were gone.
Only then did Amos lie back down, âClintâ¦â
Clint, who was standing guard outside, immediately came in, âPresident Granger.â
âGo back to Clearwater Bay and get some of my things for me. Also, tell Cindy to make some bone broth.â
Clint was taken aback. âBut President Granger, didnât you say you donât like to drink bone broth?â
Amos raised his eyebrows as his eyes wandered their way to Eudora. âMy wife wants me to have some.â
Clint was confused.
Even at a time like this, they still had the energy to act lovey-dovey! Ugh!
Clint quickly went out with an awkward but polite smile.
After Clint left, Eudora glared at Amos as she went to sit down on the sofa. She then lowered her head and ignored Amos.
Truth be told, Eudora was not angry at Amos, but she really was worried.
She didnât have much time left. Even if she was the one who got stabbed, she still couldâve protected her child. However, she did not expect Amos to block the attack.
She felt very regretful at the thought of the doctor saying that there would be complications.
However, Amos thought that Eudora was angry with him. He called her several times, but she ignored him.
In the end, Amos had no choice but to use his final trick.
âHiss⦠â
The petite Eudora basically bounced up from the sofa in an instant.
âWhatâs wrong? Where does it hurt?â
Amos felt warmth in his heart. This was the woman he adored. No matter how angry she was, she would put everything aside and be there for him when he was in danger.
At this moment, Eudora looked at his wound cautiously. âDid your wound open up? Iâll call the doctor right awayâ¦â
He already had his broad arms wrapped around her before she could finish her sentence.
âYou donât have to call the doctor. Iâll be alright as long as youâre by my side!â
Eudora felt tears welling up in her eyes.
