Chapter 469: Chapter 469 She Doesn’t Trust Him

Harley was taking care of his newly-wedded wife attentively at home. They were both having an intimate moment when Amos called.

When Harley heard what Amos said, he was scared out of his wits.

“What did you say? Thea, are you feeling alright?” Harley asked in a panic.

Thea was confused by his question, “I am totally fine!”

“What about the baby then?”

“The baby seems to be fine too…”

Amos’ heart wrenched, “Eudora was poisoned! I’ll give you thirty minutes to find out who had poisoned her at your banquet!”

“What the f*ck!” Harley stood up from his seat, “Which f*cker is this? How dare he harm Eudora? I’ll look into it right away! Is Eudora alright?”

Amos had already hung up the phone.

He was annoyed. He felt an urge to pick up a cigarette and light it up. However, he stopped when he remembered that he was at a hospital.

He took some time to compose himself before walking back to the ward.

“I’m sorry, Doctor Leon,” Amos apologized.

He was so anxious just now that he had lost his temper. However, the apology was only meant for Doctor Leon.

Doctor Leon understood his concerns and merely shook his head, “I understand your current situation. Don’t worry about it.”

At this moment, they heard footsteps coming from the corridor. A team of people soon arrived at the ward. Doctor Leon hurried over and said, “My friend is here!”

As soon as Doctor Leon’s friend arrived at the corridor, he attracted the attention of the many doctors and nurses of the hospital.

That doctor, Ronald Chilton, was the most famous physician in Rosaville City. He had just published a medical thesis about internal medicine last month.

Netizens were discussing it on the Internet with great interest.

Many of the public had seen him on the television before, however, none of them would’ve thought that they would be able to see him in person today. Without a doubt, this had stirred up conversations on the floor at the moment.

Amos frowned. “Charlie…”

Before he could even finish his words, a black shadow had already rushed in out of nowhere and blocked the nosy doctors and nurses.

They could barely see Doctor Chilton, and his figure disappeared after a moment.

“I wonder who’s that powerful to be able to hire such a legendary doctor!”

…

The first thing that Doctor Chilton did was to view Eudora’s medical history and conducting a comprehensive examination of her.

He then said, “She was indeed poisoned. Mr. Leon, your judgment is right. I just examined her thoroughly. Is she pregnant? If she is, I suggest that she should terminate the pregnancy as soon as possible so that we would be able to treat her.”

Doctor Chilton’s words hit hard. The ward fell into silence instantly.

Eudora frowned and she immediately refused, “I don’t want to terminate the pregnancy!”

She had started to accept the child in her belly after regaining her memories gradually. This child had become a part of her. It had grown much for the past few months and it had gone through a lot with her.

She couldn’t believe that he wanted her to stop the pregnancy all of a sudden. The fetus was already four months along and it could already move and kick around!

Amos stood still. He clenched his fists silently before loosening them slowly.

After a while, he said, “Terminate the pregnancy.”

He could lose anything, but he could never lose Eudora.

“No!” Eudora backed up to the headboard unknowingly. She curled her back tightly against the bedframe. She was trying to hide, but this made her baby bump even more prominent.

That was the belly of a five-month-old pregnancy…

Amos furrowed his eyebrows and ordered, “Everyone, leave this room right now!”

After they left, Amos walked towards Eudora slowly. Eudora was still curled up on the bed. She shrank back subconsciously, as though he was some kind of monster.

Amos felt a stab in his heart, but he still tried to speak as gently as possible.

“It’s okay, Eudora. We could have a child again. Your health is more important!”

“No!” Eudora shook her head firmly. “I want this child. Have you forgotten? We have even given him a name. His name is Sugar Bun, he’s our Sugar Bun!”

Amos’ heart ached, and his eyes started to burn.

“I know! But, you’re sick. We need to treat you first…”

Eudora still shook her head and argued, “You felt it too that day, didn’t you? Sugar Bun already knows how to move. Even if we could get a child again next time, it won’t be Sugar Bun anymore…”

At this moment, she seemed to be reminded of something and proceeded to say.

“Isn’t that doctor a prodigy? Ask him if I could be treated without terminating the pregnancy. I believe that Sugar Bun is as brave as I am. Give him a chance!”

Amos was very determined at first. However, after hearing Eudora’s words, he began to waver gradually.

What if…

What if they could keep the child? It was his baby with Eudora!

“Doctor Chilton…” Eudora shouted for him loudly.

Hearing the voice, Doctor Chilton came in.

“Doctor Chilton, I want this child. Will you be able to treat me and keep the child too?”

Doctor Chilton frowned and answered, “Yes, that is possible, but you will suffer!” He continued, “If you weren’t pregnant, we could then explore countless types of treatments and medicine. However, if you insist on keeping the child, many treatments will be restricted, the same goes for the medication. Most of these medications are not meant to be consumed orally, they needed to be injected through the bones…”

Those who had received this treatment would know that it would bring immense and indescribable pain.

Amos’ expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to speak, Eudora had already rushed to speak before him.

“Sure! Doctor Chilton, I can!”

“Eudora…” Amos shook his head. “Forget about it!”

“No!” Eudora’s voice was firm like never before. She said, “I’m a mother, and this is my child. I couldn’t possibly give up on it! No mother would give up on her own child so easily!”

Amos’ heart sank. He was the father of the child, and he would never give up on it easily too.

However, it was necessary to make a choice right now. What should he do in order to not hurt both of them? He loved both of them equally as much!

Amid his thoughts, Amos looked at Doctor Chilton. Perhaps, he would need to speak to the doctor privately…

Eudora was quick to react. She warned, “Amos, if you dare to kill my child without my consent, I’ll never ever forgive you!”

She looked at him with her bloodshot eyes. Each word hurt like a knife slicing his heart. She said that she would never ever forgive him.

She warned again, as if she was afraid that he was not convinced.

“I’ll die with him!”

Amos held his breath and finally shut his eyes. “Fine!”

Doctor Chilton nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll prepare a plan as soon as possible.”

Doctor Leon and Helen also left with him. Both of them were doctors who knew Eudora’s health condition best. If they followed him, they would be able to contribute many constructive suggestions.

Only Eudora and Amos were left in the ward. One of them was standing at the edge of the bed while the other one was still curled up on the headboard.

Eudora was still trying to cover her baby bump, as though she was a lioness that had been assigned to protect her cubs.

Just how much did she not trust him? Amos’ heart ached at the sight before him.
