Harley sighed heavily.
He knew that he wouldnât be able to fool Clint. Amosâ subordinates had always been extremely sharp.
However, this was not beyond his expectations.
He did not intend to hide the truth from Clint. After all, Clint was Amosâ valuable assistant, so he had to be clear about the situation in order to plan his next step.
Thinking of this, Harley spoke firmly, âHe is not doing too well. His body has not fully recovered yet. He was already feeling unwell when he arrived at the police station. He was then immediately transferred to the military hospital. He was afraid that Mrs. Granger and the children would worry, so he told me not to mention it.â
Clint was stunned. âIs he alright then?â
However, before he could even finish his words, he felt that he had asked a silly question. With Mr. Grangerâs strong willpower and body strength, he wouldâve held on if he could. Now that he had collapsed, it definitely meant that something was wrong.
Clint couldnât stand it anymore!
âIâm going to contact the others right now. Letâs get President Granger out!â
Christopher immediately agreed. âCount me in! If it wasnât for Amosâ help back then, Tina and I might not even be together now. Iâll always remember his favor!â
âClint!â Harley reached out to stop him and turned to glare at Christopher.
âAre you both out of your mind? The situation is not that serious yet! Furthermore, by having this conversation in front of me, arenât you plainly disregarding my job as a fellow policeman?â
Although he seemed as though he always took things easily, it was just some of his daily disguises. He would still take his job seriously.
Clint looked at Harley with slight disappointment. âI thought that you and Mr. Granger were best friends.â
âIt is because heâs my best friend that Iâm telling you very seriously now to not do anything that you might regret. Where do you think this is? We are bound by the laws of our country. As long as a thorough investigation is done to find out the truth, we will definitely solve it! Violence is never the solution to anything! Who do you think you are, the mafia?â
Clint lowered his head in silence.
He had gone through fire and storm with Amos since he was a child. It was normal for him to fight and kill.
âAlright, listen to me. Donât let Eudora know anything about this. Also, stay calm and take good care of her and Juju. Leave the rest to me, okay?â
Clint nodded his head. Eudora had just so happened to have finished her checkup as well.
The three men recollected themselves and said to Eudora with a smile, âMrs. Granger, how are you feeling?â
âIâm fine! Iâm most worried about Amos right nowâ¦â
âAmos is fine as well. You donât have to worry about that since Iâm here. Iâm going back with Christopher to discuss further on how we could help him. Have a good rest in the hospitalâ¦â
Harley then fled alongside Christopher before Eudora had the chance to speak.
Eudora couldnât sit still in the hospital. After lazing around for the whole afternoon, she couldnât help but pay the person-in-charge a visit in the evening.
As soon as she arrived, she saw Cherry weeping softly outside the door of the ward.
Eudora quickly got hold of the nurse and asked, âWasnât the patient in this ward already in a stable condition? Did something happen?â
The nurse sighed. âThe patient has woken up, but due to the injury in his head, heâs suffering from a very severe brain concussion. He has totally changed into a different person. He even had an episode of pathological epilepsy. The little girl must be frightened!â
Eudora frowned. She didnât expect that it would cause such a serious consequence.
At this moment, the old lady came out of the ward and said, âCherry, donât cry.â
âGrandma! Will Daddy still be able to recognize me in the future?â The little girl wept. The old lady was helpless too as she wiped her tears off the corners of her eyes.
âOf course he will. As long as we take good care of him, he will recover soon!â
Just as she was speaking, the old lady caught a glimpse of Eudora standing there. Eudora was about to greet her when the old lady called out to the young girl.
âCherry, go in and pour a glass of water for your father!â
The girl quickly entered the ward, whereas the old lady walked towards Eudora. Eudoraâs heart trembled, thinking that the old lady might have something to tell her, so she subconsciously took two steps forward as well.
âMadamâ¦â
âMiss, I could see that you are a thoughtful girl. Iâm sure that you wouldâve clearly understood the things that Iâve said during the day! My son has already turned out this way, canât you just let him go?â
Eudora didnât understand, and her footsteps stopped mid-air.
âI didnât, I justâ¦â
âSince youâve been coming here over and over again, I know that you must have some doubts in mind. I know you must be thinking that my son mustâve known something, and thatâs why he was hurt by others. In fact, let me tell you, my son really doesnât know anything. He attends his job every day with caution and often stays awake until two to three oâclock in the morning. Whenever I advise him to rest early, he would always tell me that his leader is his benefactor because he was willing to pass on such a good case to him. No matter what, he always made sure that his job was done well!
Looking at how happy he was, I too felt happy for him and hoped that he could perform well. However, ever since he took over this project, his health has been deteriorating each day! It wasnât because of any illness but rather due to the various accidents occurring since. It was either he was hit by something on the construction site, or he was hit by the cars on the road.
At first, I thought that it was just a coincidence and urged him to be careful. However, as the days went by, more and more things happened, and thereâs no way that they were all just accidents.
On the day his car was scratched, I was really worried, so I advised him not to go to the construction site and rest at home for two days. However, he refused. Later, I used my authority as a mother to force him to stay at home, so he reluctantly agreed.
Before todayâs incident, I heard someone call to ask him about his impromptu leave. I was very nervous. At that moment, I immediately advised him not to go over. However, he said that something bad had happened and he must go over immediately.
As expected, another accident happened. My son would always tell me everything that happens in his daily life, and I knew everything that he knew. Thatâs how it works in our family. Anyway, Iâve told you everything now. Itâs obvious that you have offended someone, and youâve been framed for something that you didnât do, but it definitely has nothing to do with my son.â
The old woman blurted everything out in a breath, and her words were emotional.
âIâve been a widow for a long time, and my child means everything to me. Now that my son has ended up like this, I hope that you donât ever come to us again. Since itâs your own family feud, you should know clearly who is the one behind all of this. You should deal with your own grudges yourself. Donât come and bother my son again, okay? He really doesnât know anything except work. I beg you!â
Eudora reached out hurriedly, âMadam, Iâm really not forcing youâ¦â
âWell, thatâs good to hear. Iâve told you everything that I know. Once my son recovers, Iâll ask him to leave the company!â
After that, the old lady left without looking back.
Eudora frowned. Did she offend someone? Who could it be? Bethany?
