Naturally, Amos would not refuse whatever Eudora wanted to do.
After all, as long as he was here, he would definitely keep her safe.
He would always take care of Eudora whenever she was hospitalized in the past. This time, it was Eudoraâs turn to take care of him.
She was treating him like a child, wiping his body carefully.
Her touch was very gentle, moving up and down on his body like a ball of cotton.
If she hadnât been pregnant, he wouldnât have been able to contain himself. He would have had her then and there.
Amos finally breathed a sigh of relief after she was done. He quickly closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down.
Eudora noticed his contorted face as soon as she came out of the washroom. She thought he was unwell again, so she nudged him hurriedly.
âAmos, are you alright?â
Amos had already calmed down, but her presence seemed to rouse him once again.
However, she didnât seem to notice the effect she had on Amos at all. She was still running her tiny hands all over his body.
Amos couldnât help but hold her hand and lay her down on the bed with him.
For a while, the world was spinning, and Eudora was held tightly in his arms.
âBe careful of your woundsâ¦â Eudora struggled to say.
âDonât move!â He finally spoke in a hoarse voice.
Eudora immediately understood what was going on and her cheeks started flushing.
âWhy are youâ¦â
He frowned. âWhy are you so attractive? I donât care. After this baby is born, letâs not have any more babies!â
It took her a huge toll to conceive a child, and he also couldnât do what he wanted.
The more Amos thought about it, the more wronged he felt. He couldnât resist the urge to gently caress Eudoraâs stomach.
âLetâs see how Iâll deal with this little thing after he comes out.â
Eudora changed the subject quickly. âHow about I sing a song for you?â
Amos was taken aback. âSure!â
She then cleared her throat and began to sing. It was already late at night, and the lights in the ward had been turned off. The moon outside the window was the only source of light in the room.
Under the dazzling night sky, the sound of a little woman singing a sweet melody filled the room.
âAutumn so cold yet so warm, I will be next to you. Watching as light dances alongside the wind, the red leaves flowing within. Oh, how I wish everything would stay like thisâ¦â
This was a famous theme song from a movie many years ago.
Eudora recalled herself being flushed with emotions after watching the movie at that time. This particular song had then been carved into her heart like a spell.
Many years had passed and Eudora finally understood the true meaning of the last part of the song after singing it, âWatching as light dances alongside wind, the red leaves flowing within. Oh, how I wish everything would stay like this.â
The lyrics lingered in her mind for some time after she heard it the first time. However, it was just a dream, a made-up fairytale. An unrealistic but fascinating story of the Green Snakeâ¦
If she could, she hoped that she could be as what the song said, to always be with Amos through every autumnâ¦
At the end of the song, Eudora suddenly sobbed.
Afraid that Amos would notice, she said in a low voice, âThis song is too sadâ¦â
Amos nodded, âLetâs stop then. Why donât I sing a song for you this time?â
Outside the door, a nurse passed by and heard a manâs deep voice.
The nurse remembered how the patient from that particular ward loved his wife a lot. However, they were quite unfortunate as both of them had been admitted into the hospital several times.
Even so, they were still very loving. The man often seemed distant, but the gentleness he had towards his wife always made others envious.
The nurse stopped to listen after hearing that the man was going to sing.
She wondered how such a good-looking man would look like when he sings. It must be like a dream.
At this moment, the man had already opened his mouth.
âI⦠donât know how to sing.â
The nurse thought to herself, âAlways so modest. People who say that are usually amazing singers.â
Therefore, she anticipated even more.
The next second, a manâs deep voice came from inside.
âTwinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you areâ¦â
The nurse almost trippedâ¦
The Prince Charming was not lying. He really canât sing!
Eudora, who was inside the room, was also shocked. She just stared at Amos plainly.
When Amos finished singing, she couldnât help but laugh so hard that her tears were about to burst out at any moment.
âYou werenât lying. You really canât singâ¦â
Amos frowned. âOh no, youâve discovered another one of my weaknesses. What would I do if you dislike me in the future?â
âI wonât!â Eudora said with a smile.
Because, they would only bring the best from each other.
The two of them kept talking until their voices slowly died down. Eudora soon fell asleep.
In the dark, Amos opened his eyes and scanned her face. After double confirming that she was indeed asleep, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message.
âHave Doctor Chilton and Doctor Leon in the hospital tomorrow morning. I have to ask them something very important.â
â¦
Eudora had a dream.
She was brought back to five years ago. She asked Gordon whether he had been to the United States. Gordon said that her mother had done something improper.
She refused to believe that her mother was who he described her to be, but she also didnât know why she was thinking about it now. Plus, Gordon wouldnât gain anything from saying so.
Gordon didnât like to be told wrong, especially by Kesha and Felicia.
After she woke up, all she could think of was Gordon. The morning passed by in a blur.
She almost burned herself when she went to get a cup of hot water for Amos. Fortunately, Amos was quick to pull her away.
âDo you have something on your mind?â Amos asked her.
âI⦠I just want to see my father!â
So it was about Gordon. Amos said, âAre you worried that he canât take care of himself? Itâs simple. If you want, we could take him to Clearwater Bay.â
âNo!â Eudora immediately rejected him.
Worried that Amos might get suspicious, she explained again, âHe might not get used to living with young people. It depends on him. Iâll go and see him one dayâ¦â
âYou should go today then! I wonât be at ease if you have something on your mind the whole day. Iâll ask Charlie to send you there.â
Indeed, Eudora was not at ease. Since Amos had offered, so she didnât refuse either.
After Eudora left, Amos called Clint. âAre Dr. Chilton and Dr. Leon here?â
âTheyâre here! Iâll bring them in right away,â Clint said.
Dr. Chilton had been hiding at home doing some of his own research ever since he lied to Amos about Eudoraâs condition. However, he hadnât been able to make any progress with all the anxiety building up.
The more anxious he was, the more sluggish he became. And now, he was suddenly called over by Amos.
Dr. Chilton had a feeling that Amos had seen through their lies.
Thinking of this, he and Doctor Leon looked at each other silently. Doctor Leon had the same look in his eyes and sighed.
