Tyler was very satisfied with the project, and Eudora didnât think there was anything wrong with it either.
In addition, Fabian had saved Tyler last night, so she could not really say anything to reject him too.
âUm⦠â
While she was hesitating, Tyler said with a smile, âWhy donât we rewrite the contract? After that, Iâll sign it. Itâs rare to see you be eager to cooperate with me, so how can I refuse you?â
Fabian heaved a sigh of relief and said, âOkay! Iâll ask someone to work on it immediately.â
After saying that, he left. Eudora let out a sigh of relief, while Tyler looked at Fabianâs figure thoughtfully.
âHe seems to be very anxious,â Tyler said.
Eudora didnât think so. However, she wasnât very familiar with him to begin with. She asked, âIs he?â
Tyler stopped talking and turned to look at Eudora, âArenât you going to bring my grandson and granddaughter to visit me? And whatâs wrong with you and Amos? Donât you like him anymore?â
She didnât expect someone like Tyler to actually tease her. Eudora hurriedly turned around and said, âI need to go now. Since you want to see Juju, Iâll try to bring her here!â
After she left, Tyler called Leslie.
âCan you help me find out whatâs been going on with the Nolan family recently? Why do I feel like something is going on and Iâve been kept in the dark?â
Leslie was surprised and said, âThatâs impossible! Miss Eudora has asked me to check on them twice before, and I didnât find anything!â
âYouâve already checked?â Tyler felt more at peace after hearing that, âIt seems that Eudora is quite careful and thorough. However, there must be more than meets the eye. Contact our people from before to investigate the things that we mightâve missedâ¦â
Leslie immediately understood and said, âSir, are you doubtingâ¦â
âNo, I just feel that something isnât right. Iâve known Fabian since a long time ago, and he was always cautious and calm. Do you still remember back when he was eight years old? His father brought him to a gathering and he accidentally spilled some tea on an important document. While we were panicking about it, he was able to calmly use a printer to print out the page that was ruined within half an hour.â
Leslie nodded and said, âYes, I remember.â
âBut today, I noticed his outbursts of impatience. It seems very strange. Though, I hope that itâs nothing!â
â¦
After Eudora came out, she picked up her phone and scrolled through her contact list.
All of her thoughts were focused on Amosâ familiar aura and figure from the night before. Her heart was warm and all her worries from before had disappeared without a trace.
The moment she tried to call him, she stopped in her tracks.
Eudora thought of the things she did in the past, when she purposefully provoked him and deliberately argued with him. Because of that, she didnât know how to face him at this moment.
Should she apologize to him first? But Amos would be very angry, wouldnât he? What should she do if he didnât forgive her in a fit of anger?
Perhaps, he would even let her experience the feelings he went through when she treated him like that.
The more Eudora thought about it, the more nervous she became.
Just as she was caught in a dilemma, Clintâs voice was suddenly heard from behind, âMiss Georgeâ¦â
Eudoraâs hand trembled and she almost dropped her phone. When she turned around, she saw Clint standing behind her with a smile. He asked her, âMiss George, howâs Mr. Holt doing?â
âOh, heâs already awake and heâs in a stable condition. Why are you here?â
Clint froze for a moment. Then, he smiled awkwardly, âI⦠Iâm here to see a doctor. I happened to hear that Mr. Holt is in poor health, so I was concerned.â
âOh, I see!â Eudora laughed dryly in embarrassment. Seeing that Clint was about to turn around and leave, she was suddenly nervous and hurriedly shouted.
âWhat about Amos? How is he doing now?â
Clint hesitated for a moment and said, âPresident Granger should be alright nowâ¦â
Eudora fell into silence.
âIt was Amos who asked someone to send me breakfast this morning, right?â
Clint didnât say anything.
The atmosphere became a little awkward all of sudden. In the end, Clint was unable to hold it in any longer.
âMiss George, I know that you still have feelings for your husband, right? Iâm not saying this on purpose, but I just want to say that I saw you and President Granger that night⦠However, I didnât see anything and I quickly left after thatâ¦â
Eudora blushed. She lowered her head and did not speak.
Clint was anxious. Anyways, he had already said half of it, so he decided to just tell her everything he knew.
âPresident Granger treats you the same way too. After knowing that something happened to your family last night, he asked me to check on you guys in the middle of the night. Then, he ran to the hospital and stayed with you for the whole night. In the morning, he asked me to buy you breakfast while you were still asleep. He is at the entrance of the hospital now but he does not dare to come in, so he asked me to come in and pretend to be here to see a doctorâ¦â
Before Clint could finish his words, Eudora had already ran out.
He hurriedly followed her. He couldnât wait to see what would happen next.
â¦
At the entrance of the hospital.
Amos leaned against the car with a cigarette in his hand in a daze. There were many cigarette butts beside his shoes on the ground.
Then, he suddenly heard Eudoraâs voice out of the blue, âDidnât you stop smoking already?â
Amos was taken aback. He thought that he was hallucinating before that familiar figure slowly walked over to him. It only then did Amos suddenly realize that it was real. He was full of joy.
The cigarette in his hand fell to the ground, and he used his foot to put out the cigarette.
They looked into each otherâs eyes, and both of them saw concern in each otherâs gazes. Eudora felt relieved and started to say.
âAmos, Iâm really sorry about what happened before⦠Iâm sorry. Can you forgive me?â
After saying this, she lowered her head nervously. She didnât even dare to look into his eyes anymore since she was afraid her concerns and thoughts from before would turn out to be true.
The next second, she saw his leather shoes stop in front of her. Eudora was stunned. She looked up subconsciously, but before she could see it clearly, Amos had taken her into his arms.
He only said one word to her, and that was, âOkay!â
He was not angry and did not question her either. Even though they had been separated for so long, he was still there for her when she returned to him.
Eudora suddenly felt that she was worse than Amos. She couldnât help but mutter regretfully.
âArenât you upset with me? I treated you so badly back then. Donât you want to ask me what my reasons are?â
Amos shook his head and grinned, âI donât care what the reason behind your actions is. As long as I have you with me right now, itâs enough for me!â
Tears welled up in Eudoraâs eyes as she desperately tried to blink them away, âAmos, are you doing it on purpose? Youâre deliberately saying such sweet words just so I can stay by your side and never leave you again, right?â
She questioned him coquettishly.
Amos burst into laughter and replied, âIf you think so, then sure. If I could, I would use all the sweet words I can muster up so that you can stay by my side foreverâ¦â
