Wendy was so taken aback that she screeched in horror.
Cola had always been unfriendly towards Wendy, but it had never been as fierce as this. It was as if she was Colaâs enemy.
Wendy hurriedly locked herself in a room, but Cola still scratched frantically at the door.
Cola still did not stop even though the bandage on its paws had came loose and the blood had flowed out.
Seeing Cola acting so abnormally, Auntie Valerie was also frightened. She quickly ran over and held Cola. âWhatâs wrong?â
Cola continued to bark and growl at the door. Auntie Valerie had no choice but to drag him out.
Wendy only dared to come out after Cola was gone. Her face was pale. When she saw the bloodstains on the ground, her face looked even worse.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw Amos looking at her, so she hurriedly explained herself.
âWhatâs wrong with Cola? Why is he so fierce all of a sudden? Did it lose its mind?â
Amos frowned and said blandly, âNo, someone injured Cola the other day. Maybe thatâs why itâs not in a good mood.â
Wendy was stunned. She suddenly remembered what Caleb Chuck said. He had told her that day that he would help her deal with the dog. Did he really do it?
Wendy frowned and suddenly said with a worried face, âIs Cola alright? Who could be so inhumane? It was bleeding so much!â
Amos shook his head. âI donât know.â
Wendy breathed a sigh of relief, âThen, itâs my fault for calling Cola crazy. Next time Iâll bring some of its favorite food with me.â
After that, she looked at Amos again. âYouâve been working all day. Why donât I give you a massage?â
Amos frowned. Just as he was about to decline her offer, his phone suddenly rang.
He seized the opportunity to excuse himself and answered the phone.
When he saw who the caller was, the seriousness in his eyes eased, and he turned around and headed towards the study.
Wendy quickened her pace and tried to follow him, but Amos had already closed the door.
â¦
He could hear the sound of a child crying on the other side of the line. When he listened carefully, he could hear that the voice was hoarse.
Juju?
Amosâ heart tightened. âWhatâs wrong?â
Eudora hesitated and said, âIâm sorry, President Granger. Could I borrow Cola for a few more days?â
She thought that everything would be back to normal once she sent Cola away, but she didnât expect Juju to be so obsessed with Cola. When she came back after school and saw that Cola was gone, she broke down.
Eudora had tried all sorts of ways to calm her down but to no avail.
This might only be the second time Juju was disobedient. The last time was when her turtle had died.
Eudora was afraid that she would keep on crying, so she compromised and called Amos.
Amos pursed his lips and said, âCola injured itself again just now, and the vet is bandaging it. Why donât I call the driver to pick you up?â
Eudora hesitated for a moment, but when she saw Jujuâs red, tear-streaked face, she had to compromise. âNo, Iâll come over myself.â
After hanging up the phone, Amos pushed the door and came out. Wendy was still outside.
âWhatâs wrong? Is there anything wrong at work?â
âNo!â Amos answered casually. âSomeone will be coming over later to settle something with me. You should head back first!â
Although Wendy didnât want to, she was afraid that Cola might attack her again, so she had no choice but to leave.
As soon as Wendy left, Amos immediately called for Auntie Valerie. âEudoraâs coming over. Could you prepare something delicious for her and something kid-friendly too?â
Auntie Valerie was confused for a moment and realized that Amos must be talking about Miss George. However, how could there be a kid? Did Miss George have a child?
She glanced at Amos subconsciously, then he added, âAre there any toys in the house? Why donât you take them out too?â
Auntie Valerie suddenly felt a little sorry for Amos. What was going on?
However, since Miss George was coming over, Mr. Granger wouldnât care about anything else, would he? Thinking of this, she hurriedly prepared everything as requested.
â¦
Eudora arrived at the gates of the Granger family residence with Juju. Looking at the house, Eudora felt helpless. That morning should have been her last time here, but who would have thought that she would be back here again so soon.
She sighed and was still in a daze when Auntie Valerie came out to greet her.
âMiss George, youâre here!â
Eudora smiled, âAuntie Valerie, Iâm sorry to disturb you this late.â
âMiss, donât worry about it.â Then she took a look at the pink, delicate little girl behind Eudora. âIs this your daughter, Miss George?â
It was true that she looked like Miss George, but who else did she look like? For a moment, she couldnât think of anyone else.
Eudora hurriedly introduced, âJuju, this is Auntie Valerie.â
âHi, Auntie Valerie!â
âHey!âAuntie Valerie responded, âCome in. Mr. Granger has been expecting you.â
As soon as she finished speaking, a shadow flashed past the door. Eudora glanced over and saw a black sleeve.
Amos?
But how could that be possible? It was definitely a weird place to welcome someone. Eudora quickly shook off this strange idea, took Jujuâs hand, and walked in.
Cola had been bandaged and was lying on the floor in the hall.
Originally, Juju was a little reserved, but when she saw Cola, she immediately rushed towards it.
âCola!â
Hearing the sound, Cola wagged its tail and its eyes lit up. The nervousness in Jujuâs face immediately disappeared. She held Cola in her arms and didnât want to let go.
Eudora came forward and said gently, âJuju, Cola is injured. Be gentle.â
Only then did Juju let go and saw that there was food on the table, so she looked at Eudora earnestly, asking, âMommy, could I give Cola some food?â
Before Eudora opened her mouth, Auntie Valerie said, âOf course!â
âThank you, Auntie Valerie!â Juju quickly took some food and fed Cola.
Amos stopped at the door of the study room, listening to the long-lost chatter in the living room. It added a sense of coziness.
It felt like home.
He pursed his lips, pushed the door open, and headed out.
When Juju saw him, she ran up to him enthusiastically and said, âUncle, thank you for letting me come to your house to see Cola.â
Amos grinned at her, âYou can come by anytime you like.â
âReally?â Juju was so excited that she tiptoed and was about to kiss Amosâ cheek.
Eudora was scared and hurriedly cried out, âNo!â
But before she could finish her words, Juju had kissed him.
Eudoraâs heart sank. he hurried forward to pull Juju away from Amos, and then she immediately called Auntie Valerie. âQuick, prepare some warm water and a towel.â
Auntie Valerie hurriedly went away to prepare the items, and Eudora pushed Amos towards the sofa. âLet me help you onto the couch first.â
Amos caught her hand, his eyes burning with sudden intensity, âYou still care about me.â
Eudora was stunned and said hurriedly, âNo, I just donât want you to get sick because of my daughter.â
Amos laughed. âIâm fine. See?â
Only then did Eudora notice that there was nothing wrong with Amos. There were no red rashes, no difficulty with breathing⦠Nothing happened to him.
âYou⦠your sickness has been cured? Did Miss Liam cure you?â Eudora blurted out.
