Auntie Valerie had forgotten that Juju was still in the room and had heard everything that she said. After Aunt Valerie was done explaining, Juju cried louder than ever.
In fact, Juju was petrified when she heard that Amos stabbed himself with a knife. After all, children were very afraid of knives!
âItâs okay. Heâs much better now!â Auntie Valerie tried to calm Juju down but Juju was unwilling to listen to her.
Not only Juju, even Eudora trembled when she heard what Auntie Valerie said. âAuntie Valerie, please take us to him. Juju wonât feel at ease if she doesnât see him!â
She was feeling uneasy as well.
Auntie Valerie was hesitant. âShould I ask for Mr. Grangerâs permission first?â
She was very worried about infuriating Mr. Granger!
Auntie Valerie was always very considerate and Eudora did not want to make things difficult for her, so Eudora nodded.
After that, Auntie Valerie quickly rushed to Amosâ ward. His ward was not far from Eudoraâs. She had a fractured limb and was unable to move, so she did not know.
In Amosâ ward, Harley was holding the fruit with a silly smile. âMy dear little Amos, come, let me serve you!â
Clint did not know what to say.
Meanwhile, Amos had his back against Harley.
Harley continued, âYouâll get better soon if you eat some fruits. Did you forget that you had accidentally tore your wound open this morning? Iâm starting to suspect that you did something bad last night while everyone was away, right?â
Clint stood up suddenly and asked, âMr. Granger, did someone attack you last night?â
Harley was speechless. âClint, I still donât get why he chose you to be his assistant! Obviously, someone must have gone to visit someone in another room, thatâs whyâ¦â
Clint was at a loss of words.
âShut up!â Amos said through gritted teeth.
While they were talking, Auntie Valerie suddenly burst through the doors. âSirâ¦â
Amos was taken aback. He asked, âShouldnât you be with Juju and Eudora?â
âMiss found out about your injuries. Juju found blood stains on her clothes, soâ¦â
âOh!â Harley gave Amos a meaningful look. âDo you have anything to say, Clint?â
Clint merely shrugged his shoulders!
Amos frowned, âDid you tell her?â
âI didnât have no choice. Miss is too smart and she immediately guessed it. Besides, Juju is cryingâ¦â
As soon as Amos heard that, he immediately got up and headed towards the door.
Clint hissed and shouted after Amos, âBe careful of your wounds!â
The next second, Amos turned around and Clint heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Amos still knew that he should listen to the doctorâs orders.
Unexpectedly, Amos quickly grabbed some clothes and went to the bathroom. When he came out, no one could tell that he was injured.
Then, Amos headed straight out the door.
Clint did not know what to say.
Harley quickly followed Amos. âThereâs going to be a good show. I want to see how he is going to explain this to Eudora!â
â¦
Juju was still crying in Eudoraâs ward.
A figure entered the ward and he quickly held Juju in his arms.
âJuju, why are you crying?
Hearing this, Juju slowly stopped sobbing and stared at Amos with her big round eyes.
Not just Juju, another pair of eyes were following his every move as well. Amos could feel her watching him, so he put Juju down and stood where he was.
âAlright, take a good look at me. Iâm fine.â
Noticing that Amos was no different from his usual self, Juju was finally relieved. She smiled sweetly and threw herself into Amosâ arms again.
Juju used all her strength when she jumped at Amos. Eudora noticed that Amos was frowning slightly. He only frowned ever so slightly and it immediately returned to his smiling face.
Seeing that the father and daughter were reunited happily, Eudora could not seem to take her eyes off them. The scene looked exceptionally warm. However, why did she have a feeling that something was off?
She pondered for a while but she still could not figure it out. Eudora was afraid that Juju would injure him, so she called Juju, âJuju, donât you want Mommy anymore now that you have Daddy? Mommy is so sad!â
However, Juju refused to let go of Amos and seemingly wanted her Daddy to hold her until the end of time.
Eudora was speechless.
Outside the door, Harley poked half of his head in and said, âJuju, do you only like your Daddy? What about me?â
Juju turned her back against Harley, giving him the same reaction as Amos did just a while ago.
Harley was shocked.
Suddenly, Eudora felt better after noticing that Juju was ignoring Harley. Sure enough, she needed a comparison to validate her place in her daughterâs heart.
However, Juju only hung onto Amos for a while before Eudora coaxed her off him.
After playing for a while, Juju finally fell asleep.
Amos placed Juju on the couch and said, âIâm going back!â
âWait a minute!â Eudora frowned and said, âYouâre bleeding, right?â
Amos pretended not to understand her words. He said, âWhat? No!â
âReally? Do you want me to have a look for myself?â
Amos remembered that she could not move because she had fractured her bone. He immediately said, âDonât move.â
âThen, come over and let me see.â
This woman was getting more and more unruly. Amos had no choice but to walk over to her.
She lifted his clothes gently and saw the bloodied bandage over his chest. Fortunately, it did not leak through because they were absorbed by his innerwear.
Eudora instantly recalled the teenaged Amos who was trapped in the basement. Back then, he was covered in blood as well and that made tears welled up in her eyes.
Amos raised his head and realized that Eudoraâs eyes were slightly red. His heart nearly stopped.
âIâm fine, it doesnât hurt. Iâve had it worse. Itâs all over now, Iâm really fine.â
Eudora became even more upset after he said those words.
Meanwhile, Harley opened the door and poked his head in again.
âEudora, you can kiss and hug him to ease his pain!â
Eudora was speechless.
Clint was so annoyed that he immediately dragged Harley away.
The atmosphere became a little better after Harley barged in. After that, Eudora pressed the bell to ask the doctor to help Amos put on a new bandage.
Eudora suddenly felt that something was off when everything quieted down.
Amos had walked over here on his own!
That couldnât be right!
Didnât he say that he could not walk because his legs were injured? How did he suddenly recover?
Amosâ heart skipped a beat when he noticed the shock in her eyes. When he heard that Juju was crying, he was too anxious and he immediately came over without thinking twice.
Eudora looked his legs for a while before parting her lips to speak.
âYour legs have always been fine, right?â
Amos put his hand on his forehead. His woman had always been smart. Therefore, he decided not to hide it from her anymore.
âYes. My legs have always been fine.â
âYou only put on a show because you didnât want to marry Wendy, right? I want to hear the truth.â
âYes!â Amos nodded again and added, âYouâre the only one in my heart.â
Eudora was at a loss of words. This guy was starting to sweet-talk her again.
âIâm going to sleep so you can go back now!â Eudora then covered herself with the quilt. However, Amos did not leave.
âIâll watch you sleep.â
Eudora was speechless. âBut you have to rest as well!â
âYouâre right!â Amos said with a nod. Eudora heaved a sigh of relief when she thought that he was going to leave.
Who would have thought that this guy would get into the same bed with her!
Eudora was lost beyond words.
