By the time he got home, Eudora George had fallen asleep.
Amos Granger looked at the clock on the wall. It was only around eight oâclock. She seemed to be sleeping early recently.
He glanced at Auntie Valerie and asked, âWhat did she eat for dinner?â
Auntie Valerie shook her head. âShe just drank some soup.â
Amos knitted his brows. âI see. You should go home and rest!â
Auntie Valerie felt that she did not take good care of Eudora and felt a little guilty. âSirâ¦â
âItâs not your fault. Go home and rest.â
Only then did she put down her things. When she was about to turn around and leave, Amos suddenly said, âHow do you make oatmeal toppings?â
Auntie Valerie was stunned. When she saw him with a somewhat embarrassed expression, she realized that he wanted to cook. She immediately smiled at him.
âThere are some strawberries and blueberries in the refrigerator. You could make fruit and honey oatmeal, sir!â After that, she wrote down the recipe excitedly and handed it to him. âJust follow this recipe. Iâm sure it will work.â
Amos took a look at it, but he paused. âA little honey, how much is a little?â
Auntie Valerie had never seen him like this, he was like a student who was eager to learn. She couldnât help but think that Miss George was really lucky to meet such a good man who treated her so well.
If her child could find such a person to rely on in the future, it would be great.
âJust add according to your taste.â
Amos nodded and went into the kitchen. He remembered the oatmeal he made in the resort last time and made a pot of it.
However, he tried several times without success. The combination of the toppings was either too sweet or bland. The sweet ones were thrown away by him, and those which he eventually overseasoned were eventually thrown away too.
After a few attempts, he finally made a combination of toppings that tastes just right before the oatmeal was ready.
He didnât change his clothes until he placed everything on the table.
Eudora was sleeping soundly, but her mobile phone was still in her hand. There was a soap opera playing on it. Amos raised his eyebrows. He rarely saw her watch this kind of TV series.
He carefully took the phone from her hands and turned it off. Then he walked over and stroked her face.
She had lost weight again.
Amos frowned. He had asked her to eat more, but she was still so thin.
âEudora!â He called her name gently.
Eudora was in a daze. She dreamed that she was running on the grass while holding a small hand. Cola was following behind her, his little tail wagging up and down.
Suddenly someone shouted for her, âEudora, Eudoraâ¦â
She looked back to see the personâs face, but she couldnât open her eyes properly It was as if there was a layer of fog in front of her.
Then, her palm loosened, and she suddenly rose into the air and fell into a warm embrace.
Amos called her a few times, but he couldnât wake her up. He had no choice but to carry her. After a brief moment of confusion, she found a good position in his arms and fell asleep again.
She looked peaceful and clumsy, like a kitten.
Amos felt a slight itch in his heart. He reached out to pinch her cheek and whispered, âLittle lazy kitten.â
However, it seemed that she was falling asleep too easily recently. If she hadnât just come out of the hospital and underwent a thorough checkup that showed that she was fine, he would have been worried about her health.
He carried her to the dining table, put her on his lap, and positioned her to face him.
He touched the bowl to check the temperature of the oatmeal. After it cooled down a little, Amos took a scoop and put it to her mouth. âHave a bite. You like it!â
Eudora wanted to continue sleeping. She didnât want to respond at all.
Amos had no choice. He took a bite, parted her lips and fed her carefully bit by bit.
A pregnant woman would usually experience tummy discomfort especially during the first trimester of the pregnancy. Her stomach felt as if it was always burning all the time.
She was hungry, but she was just too sleepy.
Now that there was food in her mouth, she started to chew and swallow slowly.
Amos was initially just feeding her, but after locking lips with Eudora, his eyes darkened.
However, seeing that she was in a daze, he couldnât bear to disturb her. He could only try his best to hold it back.
After he was done feeding the bowl of oatmeal to her, the lazy kitten slept even more soundly in his arms. However, Amos couldnât fall asleep.
He was a little tempted and wanted to wake her up. However, having failed to wake her up after several tries, he gave up.
He had to accept his fate and carried her back to the bed. He then went to take a cold shower.
â¦
The next day, Eudora woke up naturally.
She subconsciously rubbed her stomach as she yawned. Usually, she would feel very hungry when she woke up at this time. But why did she feel quite full today?
The space beside her was wrinkled. It seemed that Amos had come back last night.
When she got downstairs, Auntie Valerie looked at Eudora with a smile. âMiss, arenât you hungry today?â
âIâm fine. Iâm not very hungry.â
Auntie Valerie was even happier. âSirâs cooking was delicious, wasnât it?â
This time, Eudora was stunned. âWhat do you mean?â
Auntie Valerie thought she was just shy. She then said in a hurry, âSir made some delicious oatmeal for you last night. I know all about it!â
Eudora was stunned. Did Amos make food for her last night? She thought about it carefully, and some blurred images flashed across her mind. Their lips were attached to each other, and she was pecking at him like a birdâ¦
She blushed, and hurriedly lowered her head. âWell, I have something to do at the company. Iâll be going now!â
Auntie Valerieâs smile became more obvious. âIsnât today the weekend? Miss George, what work are you going to go to?â
To say Eudora was embarrassed was an understatementâ¦
âIs today the weekend? Then⦠Iâm going to read a book.â
She chose a book and sat on the sofa, but she just couldnât focus. Her mind was full of the images of them entangled with each other. Eudora sighed. Perhaps, she should cook some food for Harley.
After preparing the meal, she went to the hospital as usual. But today, Harley was not as happy as before. As soon as they met, he looked at her carefully, as if he wanted to say something.
Eudora frowned. âWhatâs wrong? Is there something on my face?â
âNo!â Harleyâs tone was solemn, âEudora, do you know what happened here today?â
âWhat happenedr?â Eudora was even more confused.
âItâs okay if you donât know. Itâs not a good thing.â After saying that, Harley was about to take the plate from her, but Eudora pressed it down.
âSpill the truth, or I wonât give it to you.â
Harley started to lament, âEudora, I am about to starve to death.â
Eudora was unmoved, and Harley finally caved, âWendy attempted suicide last night!â
Eudora was stunned. âShe attempted suicide? Is sheâ¦â Before she could finish her sentence, Harley shook his head and said, âA good person doesnât live long, but a nightmare like her will last for thousands of years.â
Eudora was speechless.
It seemed that she did not die.
Eudora had just confronted Wendy once yesterday and she tried to jump off the building that very night. Wendy was really something.
Eudora frowned and said, âYou should eat, Iâll go out for a while.â
Harley hurriedly stopped her, âDonât go. Why would you want to look for her? It will affect your mood.â
Eudora shook her head. âNo, Iâm happy to see her misfortune.â
It was Harleyâs turn to be speechless.
