Chapter 342: Chapter 342 I Won’t Fall

If it was possible, he would rather be the one who got hurt, not Eudora.

At this moment, he heard a loud noise from inside the bathroom. He quickly snapped back to his senses and knocked on the door.

“Eudora? Eudora?”

There was no response. He started to panic. Why did he do such a silly thing again? She had already lost her faith in life. How could he let her take a shower on her own?

Amos kicked the door open in a hurry. Eudora was soaking herself in the bathtub in the bathroom and she had washed her whole body till it was red. However, she still refused to give up, still desperately rubbing herself.

The sound that Amos had heard earlier was a result of her arm hitting against the wall.

Amos felt a little relieved. Fortunately, she didn’t attempt to commit suicide.

However, soon, his heart was torn again. Her skin had begun to bleed. She had rubbed her skin so hard that it started to bleed.

He ran over quickly and held her hand.

“Stop it. You’re very clean already!”

Eudora pushed him away and shook her head,. “No, I need to take a bath.”

“You have been cleaning yourself for a long time, and the water is not clean anymore. Let’s do it later, okay? Shall I take you out first?”

Amos tried every possible way to persuade her, but she still refused to leave.

In the end, Amos had no choice but to pick her up forcefully, enduring every kind of resistance from her.

Finally, she was tired of crying. She soon fell asleep and quieted down.

Amos got out of bed again and helped her to get the ointment to apply to her wound. Then, he found a set of blue pajamas for her to change into.

He hoped that she would feel refreshed once she woke up.

He made his way downstairs after everything was done.

Harley and Doctor Leon were still downstairs. They were as exhausted as Amos was. However, Amos was different from them, because he could not allow himself to get tired before Eudora got better.

“Amos, how is it going?” Harley asked.

Amos flashed a wry smile and then looked at Doctor Leon., “The psychiatrist whom you mentioned earlier…”

Eudora was obviously in a terrible condition. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have needed a psychiatrist.

Doctor Leon said immediately, “I’ll contact him right away.”

After Doctor Leon left, Harley asked, “Amos, what about Juju…”

He didn’t mean to mention it, but Juju was Eudora’s daughter. She was still having fun outside happily. If she were to come home and realize that her mother could not recognize her anymore, how could a young girl like her accept that cruel reality?

Amos thought of this too. After all, he was Juju’s father.

He pursed his lips, “I’ve already called Auntie Valerie. They’ll be back soon.”

Harley nodded.

“Amos, you haven’t eaten anything since yesterday.”

“I’m not hungry,” Amos responded.

“Even so, you still have to eat a little. You’re the only person Eudora trusts now. What would she do if you were to collapse too?” Harley asked.

Amos shook his head, “Don’t worry, I won’t.”

Eudora slept through the night, but Amos didn’t dare to sleep anymore.

He was afraid that if he would collapse if she disappeared after he woke up.

He watched over her until the day broke.

He watched as she opened her eyes. Her gaze went from the daze of just waking up, to clarity, and then, to despair.

Amos’s heart skipped a beat and he greeted her immediately, “Good morning, Eudora. Juju will be back today.”

When she heard Juju’s name, she finally became a little more focused.

Then, she jumped up all of sudden. “I’m going to take a bath.”

Amos grabbed in a hurry when he recalled that her skin that she had rubbed earlier had yet to recover, “You’ve already washed up. If you don’t believe me, you could see for yourself. You changed into fresh pajamas and applied lotion on your skin.”

He applied the lotion for her and took good care of her.

Eudora looked down and felt a little relieved. She then said, “Then I’ll go and clean up the room.”

This time, Amos did not stop her. Perhaps, cleaning could make her feel better.

“I’ll keep you company!” Amos said.

…

Harley was still sleeping on the couch downstairs. He woke up to the noise coming from the room. At a glance, he saw Eudora and Amos with aprons and hats, and they were cleaning up.

He rubbed his eyes and there was a moment of confusion.

“Eudora, you guys…”

Eudora trembled a little. She was very resistant to anyone now.

Harley also noticed it, thus, he shut up immediately.

Amos frowned, “Go back to your room! Don’t come out unless I call you.”

Harley nodded. He turned around, ran to the guest room, and close the door hastily.

After he left, Amos said, “Let’s start from here!”

They spent the whole morning cleaning up. The two of them were so energetic that they didn’t look like they hadn’t eaten for a few days.

Harley looked at them through the crack of the door and couldn’t help sighing. Especially when he saw that Amos, who was a clean freak, picking up a garbage bag with his bare hands.

He was almost going to cheer.

He wouldn’t even bother to look at it back then.

He couldn’t help but feel distressed for Amos. The pair had worked so hard for their relationship. Why wouldn’t God just give them an easy life?

At this moment, Harley’s cell phone rang.

He was stunned. He took his phone out and muted it before looking at the screen.

It was a message from Thea.

There was only one sentence, “Have you gone missing?”

Harley’s lips twitched. Did this girl finally realize his importance? Wasn’t she trying hard to find fresh young men before this?

He typed casually, “I have something urgent to attend to.”

He then thought about it and decided to delete the message.

Perhaps he shouldn’t reply and leave her anxious for a while.

On second thought, Harley was worried that she would find another man after she got fed up waiting for him. After thinking about it for a while, Harley finally sent another message to his colleague.

“Do you still remember the little girl whom I’ve been trying to arrest all this while? The one who ran away when I had an anti-vice operation back then? Keep an eye on her for me. If there’s any movement, report it to me right away.”

He got a quick reply, “Bravo, Boss! Many years have passed. Are you still following that case? In my opinion, she may have become a good person.”

Harley lamented in his heart, one should never judge a book by its cover.

However, he questioned, “Why are you talking so much nonsense? What about your professional ethics? We shouldn’t be complacent!”

The person whom he was talking to nodded at once and replied, “You’re right. I’ll learn from you. Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on her for you.”

Harley was relieved. He went back to Thea’s message and read it several times.

Soon, Thea sent another message.

“Perhaps, it’s better if you have gone missing. I could finally find those other men without you disturbing me.”

Harley was speechless. He swore to teach her a lesson once he was done with the matters on hand.

After that, he put down his phone indignantly.
