When Eudora woke up again, she found that she had no strength at all. It felt as though she was stepping on cotton. She stretched her hand out to touch her throbbing head.
She pressed against her temple and lay there, recalling what had happened before she fainted.
She was already feeling a little dizzy when she got out of Amosâ car. However, she wanted to escape as soon as possible at that moment, so she didnât think too much about it.
However, after taking a few steps, she realized that she couldnât stand up anymore.
She walked a few steps forward, trying to hold on to the wall on the side of the road. However, her vision blacked out before she could even walk over.
She seemed to have heard Juju and Amosâ anxious voices the moment before she lost her consciousness.
Eudora reached out and patted her own head. âIt mustâve been an illusion. Amos and Juju hated me so much. Why would they come back for me?â
At this very moment, someone pushed the door open and came in. It was none other than Amos, holding a bowl of soup in his hand. Behind him was Juju, who was holding a spoon.
Amos put the bowl of soup down on the table and said, âYou should have some.â
Juju followed him and put the spoon on the table as well.
After that, the father and daughter went out without any expression on their faces.
Eudora was speechless.
Was she not hallucinating? Was it really them who had saved her back then?
The door was closed again. Eudora looked at the steaming soup on the bedside table. Did Amos make it? The carrot cubes inside were uniformly sized.
Apart from him, there was probably no one else who would do that.
She remembered the time when she was still in the first trimester of her pregnancy, way before she was poisoned by Kesha. Amos would take care of her every day as though she was a baby and he would make all kinds of delicious food for her.
Those happy times were a far cry from the life she had now.
The aroma of the soup kept attracting her. Furthermore, she had no strength left. Hence, she had no choice but to reach out for the bowl of soup and ate it.
She could feel her body warming up as she sipped on the soup.
Eudora then got out of bed and changed her clothes. The clothes that she had worn the day before had been washed and they were placed next to the bed neatly.
She got up to open the door and went out.
Once she was outside, Eudora realized that this place was not a hospital or a hotel, but a villa.
Not only that, but the layout of the villa was also a little familiarâ¦
She took a good look around and realized that the layout of this villa was the same as the Holt Manorâs main hall. That must mean that this villa was probably in the same area as the Holt Manor, right?
Why did Amos buy a house here all of a sudden?
At this moment, Eudora heard the babbling sound made by Sugar Bun coming from downstairs. He was still small and could not speak.
However, he had a good temper. Whenever he woke up, he would smile or babble endlessly instead of making a fuss.
Juju was playing with him, while Amos was sitting next to them holding a newspaper in his hands, reading it from time to time.
The sun shone through the French windows and landed on the three of them. It was a beautiful scene that she had never been seen before.
Eudora was watching them until Sugar Bun suddenly noticed her. The mother and son stood across each other in the living room, their eyes locked on each other. Eudora thought that he would not recognize her, but he suddenly smiled at her the next second.
He laughed happily, giggling, almost melting Eudoraâs heart. Not only that, he even reached his hands out, asking Eudora to hug him.
Juju also turned to look at Eudora.
Eudora walked over awkwardly. âThank you. I shall take my leave first.â
Amos didnât say a word, and Juju also turned her head away. Only Sugar Bun was still looking in Eudoraâs direction. His hands were still stretched out, a smile still plastered on his face.
The little guyâs enthusiasm almost made Eudora hug him.
All of a sudden, her cell phone rang. It was Tyler. âEudora, you finally answered the phone. Where have you been? I am worried about you! Also, you and Fabianâ¦â
âIâll head back right away!â Eudora immediately interrupted Tyler. She did not dare to look at Sugar Bun anymore and quickly walked towards the door.
Sugar Bun was visibly upset, realizing that Eudora refused to hug him even after trying to win her over for a long time. He finally pursed his lips and began to cry with a grievance.
He probably knew that he was a handsome baby, and no one had ever rejected him before.
Juju put him on the carpet and took out a toy to play with him.
She looked at Amos, who was in a daze, and asked, âDaddy, arenât you going to see her off?â
Only then did Amos step out and follow Eudora. Eudora was planning to talk about the house, but after coming out, she was even more certain that they were at the villa right next to the Holt Manor.
She was worried, and she could not hold back her desire to ask.
âItâs not good for you to stay here, you know that, right?â
Amos did not answer the question, but instead, he said, âI didnât expect that you would still have the mood to care about my wellbeing. Do you know that you have broken the law?â
Eudora didnât quite understand. âHuh?â
Amos gritted his teeth and continued, âI didnât want to say it at first, but may I remind you that the divorce papers were only signed by you. I didnât sign it. If you marry Fabian, you will commit the crime of bigamy.â
Eudoraâs heart skipped a beat. âYouâ¦â
She didnât expect that Amos hadnât signed the divorce papers. However, it was true that she didnât receive the divorce documents yet. She had forgotten about this matter.
She immediately thought of Tyler and said nervously, âDonât tell anyone about this.â
Amos frowned. âEudora! You are out of your mind!â
Eudora smiled bitterly. âThink whatever you want! I donât care if itâs for the sake of the children or anyone, but please donât tell anyone about this. Otherwise, Iâll cooperate immediately if you wish to divorce me now!â
âIn your dreams!â Amos gritted his teeth. âI wonât allow you to be with Fabian!â
Eudora opened her mouth and wanted to say something. However, the phone in her hand rang again, so she had to pick it up and leave quickly.
This place was too close to the Holtâs Manor. It was too dangerous.
â¦.
In the living room, Juju held her younger brother, who was playing with toys, and sighed.
âDidnât I tell you? You have to act cute when you see Mommy, only then would she finally come around! You really are useless!â
It was a plan that Juju had come up with herself. In fact, she didnât come to Greene City with Sugar Bun this time just to visit their father.
Since her father had failed to get her mother back, she had no choice but to do it herself.
When they were at their home in Rosaville City, Juju had shown Sugar Bun pictures of their mother. She even trained him in all kinds of ways to act cute and ask for hugs.
She even deliberately acted that way to Eudora in the car so that the latter would concede.
Juju believed that she was the person who knew her mother best. Uncle Wesley also said that her mother must have her own reasons for doing all these.
Although she didnât know what the reason was, as long as her mother still cared about them, she would definitely come back, right?
