Luckily, Eudora had long understood this trick of his.
She pretended not to see it and went straight to get the gauze and bandages. âLet me help you with the bandages.â
Amos just stood there, unmoving. Eudora quivered her lips and said, âCâmonâ¦â
The next second, Amos obeyed and immediately went to her.
The nurse next to him was completely taken aback.
It was something she had never seen before!
Although she had heard that President Granger doted on his wife a lot, she had never seen him acting so much like a child.
He was even whinier than her little brother at home. The strange thing was, it was rather adorable.
â¦
Amosâs blood-stained bandages were slowly opened, revealing the split open wounds inside.
It took a lot of bandages to finally stop the bleeding.
Eudora tried to hold back her tears as she bandaged Amosâ wound, but in the end, they still rolled down her face.
âYou knew clearly that youâre injured. Couldnât you be more careful? What if something happens?â
Amos pursed his thin lips, âI have you by my side!â
He had purposely said it that way because he wanted to let Eudora know that he needed her. Therefore, she must never leave his side.
After thinking about it, he said again, âEudora is the only thing in the world that makes Amos Amos⦠Because I need her to live, sheâs everything I need.â
Eudoraâs heart ached, âIâm not food neither am I air. What do you need me for? In fact, Iâm not the only person who could make you happy. Werenât you with Wendy before? Certainly, you could find someone like me who could be your⦠Uhâ¦â
Before she could finish her words, Amos had lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
His kiss had come too fast, Eudora didnât even have time to react before he had consumed her entirely.
It was different from what lingering passion or desire they had in the past. This time, his kiss was overbearing. Bit by bit, it broke into the walls sheâd built up in her heart. In the end, both of them were out of breath.
Only then did he let go of her. âOnly you! Eudora, youâre the only one for me.â
â¦
Amos refused to stay in the hospital after a week there.
He wanted to be discharged from the hospital.
Eudora saw through his act and remembered how she too was once under Amosâ scrutiny before when she was discharged from the hospital. As a result, she purposely did the same.
âNo! Youâre not allowed to go anywhere before you recover!â
Amos was stunned for a moment and realized that he had been played by this woman.
He reached out and slapped her on the butt. âAre you mimicking me?â
Eudora looked at him smugly, âThe tables have turned.â
Eudora was no doubt the most beautiful woman in Rosaville City. He thought that she was very beautiful when he first laid his eyes on her. Even though she had gained a little weight after getting pregnant, not only did she not become ugly, but she also had a mesmerizing aura radiating around her every now and then.
Especially right now, when her pretty eyes were wandering about.
Even with the big belly, she was behaving like a young girl.
It didnât seem like she had to hide from him and cough out blood in the bathroom every morning.
Amosâ heart ached. He reached out to pet her on the head and asked, âAre you in a good mood?â
âWhy not? I bullied Mr. Granger. Iâm so happy!â
âFrom now on, you may bully me however you like! As long as youâre by my side,â Amos said in a low voice.
Eudora didnât seem to notice the implication behind his words, so she nodded her head casually. âSure!â
âDeal! If you break your promise, Iâll drag you back even if it means that I have to go to hell.â
After that, Amos lifted the quilt and got up. âIf I canât leave the hospital, could I at least go out for a walk? Come walk with me?â
Eudoraâs body was not in great condition, so taking a walk might do her some good. After his wound opened up the other time, she no longer allowed him to get up and roam around freely.
Eudora then nodded. âSince youâve been behaving, letâs go for a walk then.â
It was already September, so it was not as warm as before.
Eudora felt a little tired after walking a few steps in the garden. As time passed by, she still secretly took the drugs that Doctor Chilton had prescribed for her every day.
However, she still felt her body getting worse day by day.
Despite that, the child in her belly was only six months old, and she had to endure for at least one more month.
Eudora took a breath and quickened her pace behind Amos.
In fact, Amos had already noticed that something was off with her. However, even after so many years, he still couldnât change her stubborn temper.
Even if she was struggling, she always pretended to be okay in front of him.
Amosâ heart ached for her. He then went straight to the bench beside and sat down. âIâm tired, letâs rest for a while!â
Eudora stood there for a moment but Amos had already grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit down, âYou too. Sit with me for a while!â
Eudora nodded and took a deep breath.
She wouldâve passed out if she kept going. Fortunately, Amos was also tired.
The two of them sat there for a while, and Eudora slowly regained back her strength. Gradually, she began to have a bit of interest.
There were two people sitting on the bench not far from them. At first glance, she could tell that they were a couple, the kind of couple who were passionately in love with each other.
They were incredibly intimate with each other the entire time.
Especially when the guy said that he would propose to the girl once she recovers from her cold. He said, âBaby, you must say yes then, alright?â
The girlâs face was red. âShhhh! Who are you calling your baby?â
âYou, you are my baby, forever.â
Eudoraâs heart ached. She subconsciously turned back to look at Amos. Unexpectedly, Amos was also looking at her.
Their eyes met and they immediately turned their heads away awkwardly. Perhaps, they were thinking of the same thing.
There was another couple passing by and the girl was flirting with the boy.
âIâm angry! If you donât comfort me, I will break up with you.â
The boy immediately came up to her to comfort her. âBaby, donât be angry. I was wrong!â
Eudora was at a loss for words.
It seemed that couples called each other âBabyâ now! Was she falling behind the trend?
âDo you want to do that too?â
Amos whispered, and Eudora was stunned. The next second, she felt that him getting close to her ear, his soothing low voice echoing.
âBaby.â
Eudora almost burst into laughter. It was so strange yet so sweet.
Amos kept calling Eudora his baby for the rest of the afternoon. Finally, the two of them went back to the ward after a long walk outside.
As soon as they arrived at the elevator, they saw the nurse in charge of the VIP ward on weekdays. Seeing that Eudora was wearing thin clothes with a big belly, the nurse said, âMiss George, you should pay more attention to the baby. We wouldnât want it to catch a cold!â
Eudora was about to nod when she saw Amos quickly taking off his coat and wrapped it around her tightly.
The nurse behind him quivered and said, âMr. Granger, Iâm talking about the baby in Miss Georgeâs bellyâ¦â
She was gobsmacked by Amosâ actions.
