Chapter 468: Chapter 468 No One is Better Than You

Helen found a seat in the corridor and sat down.

She was almost 26 years old and she had been pursued by countless men after graduating from medical school years ago.

However, no man who could ever make her fall head over heels.

There was a man who caught her attention during her internship. His name was Simon and they were from the same school. They got to know each other better after being posted to the same hospital.

On normal days, they would often interact with each other for work. Soon, it escalated to them having lunch together. During festivals and holidays, they would give each other gifts. When they had nothing to do, they would also go to the movies together.

At that time, she thought that they were dating.

Until one day, she saw Simon together with the hospital dean’s daughter, Mathilda.

She saw him brushing Mathilda’s hair behind her ear gently and complimenting that her dress was particularly stunning that day.

It was at that moment she realized that what they had was just mere flirtation. It was never anything official.

Ever since then, she had never fallen in love again.

Helen sighed. She brushed away the thought of that indifferent man’s face which had appeared briefly in her mind.

She then heard Doctor Leon’s voice coming from behind her. “How’s it going?”

Helen woke up from her reverie and stood up.

“Dad, you’re finally here. The doctors did an emergency treatment for Mrs. Granger just now. She is now stable. However, the test report has not been released yet. President Granger is in there with her now!”

Doctor Leon nodded. He was not in a hurry to go in since Amos was inside. He handed his things to Helen and said, “I’ll go and have a look at the report.”

Doctor Leon worked as a specialist in the hospital on regular days. Therefore, he was familiar with many people there.

Helen only realized that it was already bright outside after Doctor Leon left.

Amos came out of the room just as she was about to head into the ward and check on Eudora. He was holding his phone in his hand and he was muttering something.

“Follow up with that case for the next few days. I have an urgent issue to attend to here, so I can’t leave at this moment. If you have any questions, contact me immediately…”

Coincidentally, Doctor Leon had come back at this moment. Helen asked hurriedly.

“Dad, what’s wrong?”

Doctor Leon looked sullen. He looked at the half-closed ward door and walked in. Seeing Doctor Leon’s expression, Helen was a little uneasy. She hurried and followed him in.

…

Eudora had just woken up when Doctor Leon went into the ward.

She got up and smiled. “Doctor Leon, you’re here so early.”

Doctor Leon nodded and scrutinized her face briefly, “How are you feeling?”

Eudora felt much better after taking a nap, but she still felt this dull pain in her head.

“I’m fine, but I’m having a little headache. Could it be because I’ve slept too much?”

Doctor Leon’s expression sank. He continued saying, “Mrs. Granger, you didn’t sleep too much. You were poisoned!”

Eudora froze for a moment. “Poisoned? How is that possible?”

Her meal had all been carefully prepared by Amos. His level of attentiveness is definitely out of question. In fact, it was almost excessive.

Amos even requested to find out every single detail such as the farm that had produced the ingredients, the date of harvest of the produce, and the people who planted them. How could she be poisoned then?

“We still don’t know what’s going on, but the test report has been released. You were poisoned and it targets your nervous system specifically. You would have been fine if you did not consume anything else within 24 hours after ingesting that poison. However, you took the cold medicine yesterday, didn’t you? The perpetrator probably knew that you had a cold, hence he or she poisoned you deliberately! When the chemicals of the cold medicine and the chemicals of the poison are mixed together, it would then such a reaction in your body…”

Eudora voiced out almost immediately.

“Will it affect my child?”

At the same time, a shadow brushed in from the door like a gust of wind.

The voice came at the same time as Eudora, asking, “Will it affect Eudora’s body?”

Doctor Leon was in a dilemma. In the end, he just shook his head.

“I’m not sure yet. I’ve already contacted a prodigy doctor who’s an expert in this field. He’ll arrive in the afternoon. We’ll find out once he examines her.”

Amos furrowed his eyebrows tightly, as though he had thought of something. Instantly, he looked at Helen.

“Did you let her take the cold medicine yesterday?”

Amos’ gaze was so terrifying, it was as though he was about to swallow someone. Helen was startled. Fortunately, Doctor Leon stood in front of her and quickly blocked Amos’ gaze.

“I’m sure that Helen didn’t do it on purpose. The specialty of this poison is that it would not show any symptoms on the person who took it at all. I wouldn’t have noticed it if I were in her place.”

Amos frowned but he still looked visibly displeased. At this moment, Eudora reached out and grabbed his finger.

“Doctor Leon treats me very well and Helen is also a very good doctor. Please don’t treat them so fiercely. If you need to blame this on someone, then just blame me for not being extra cautious. I’m sorry, okay? Amos?”

Even at this point, this precious woman of his was still trying to make him happy.

He knew that she was trying to console him. However, the more she acted this way, the more guilty he felt!

“It’s my fault! I didn’t take good care of you.”

Even though he had said that he would take good care of her, Eudora would still end up getting hurt. This wasn’t the first time he felt that he was truly useless.

Doctor Leon sensed the tension in the air, hence he pulled Helen away from the situation once again. At this moment, only Eudora could make him feel better.

“How is it your fault?” Eudora asked. She grabbed Amos’ arm, gesturing him to take a seat. She then rested her head against his chest.

“In my heart, you are the best in the world. No, you are the best in the whole universe! No one is better than you.”

Amos looked at her. Her face was as pale as paper, but she was still trying to make him feel better. His heart instantaneously shattered into pieces.

He furrowed his eyebrows. He reached out to cup her face, which was smaller than his palms.

“Alright! I’ll be fine in a bit. Didn’t you say that your head still hurts a little? You should get some rest then.”

Indeed, her head was still throbbing. Seeing that Amos’s mood had calmed a little, Eudora finally nodded and lay back down on the bed to rest.

It didn’t take long for her to fall asleep again.

Amos covered her with a blanket before he stood up and went out.

Doctor Leon was still standing outside the ward. When he saw Amos, he stood in front of Helen subconsciously. The next second, he heard Amos speak in a stern, cold tone.

“Since Eudora said that you are innocent, I shall not take any actions on you then. The only thing you could do now is to take good care of her in order to make up for it!”

He regarded Helen as nothing more than his employee. Helen felt a little disappointed, but she nodded quickly and promised, “I definitely will!”

Amos then turned around, went to the corner, and dialed Harley’s number.

“Someone poisoned Eudora at your banquet!”
