Chapter 517: Chapter 517 He’s Awake

In the sterile ward of the hospital.

Finally, on the tenth day after Eudora woke up, the hospital had agreed to let her be sterilized and put on a sterile uniform before entering the ward to visit Amos.

At this moment, Amos was still intubated by various tubes. According to Cindy, Amos’ vitals dropped twice over the past few days, but fortunately, he was rescued in the end.

Eudora sniffled as she slowly stood in front of Amos’ sickbed.

“I’m here to see you, Amos!”

The person on the hospital bed remained still, motionless. Eudora tucked him under the quilt with her gloves on, as she slowly said, “Juju has become a lot more mature lately. When you weren’t around, she would come to the hospital every day to keep me company. There’s also Sugar Bun, he’s a boy. Although he was very small in size when he was born, he’s as courageous as you are. The nurse told me today that Sugar Bun will be able to come out of the baby incubator in a month. Our family will be reunited soon, and you’re the only one missing!”

There was still no movement on the bed, and only the ticking of the instruments next to her could be heard.

Eudora suddenly started to tear up. “Hubby, don’t you like it when I call you that? I’m calling you my hubby now, could you please wake up soon? Look at me, I’m getting thinner. If you don’t get up to make sure that I eat, how could I be healthy?”

“Otherwise, I shall not eat starting from tomorrow! If I don’t eat, the organs that you have donated to me will be in vain!”

“Wake up, hubby! I don’t know what I would do without you!”

As Eudora spoke, her tears fell on the back of Amos’ hand.

His fingers seemed to move a little, but Eudora did not notice it at all.

A nurse entered the ward to remind her, “Visitation hours are up! Family members will have to leave the ward now.”

Eudora held Amos’ hand hurriedly and planted a kiss on his forehead through the mask.

“You have to get well soon. Our children and I are waiting for you to be discharged!”

Cindy came in with a basin of warm water after returning to the ward. “Mrs. Granger, it’s time to rest. I’ll help you clean your body,” Eudora could not take a bath yet because her wound had not yet healed completely.

Eudora shook her head. “It’s fine, just leave it there. I’ll do it myself!”

Cindy knew that Eudora’s emotions were still in a mess after visiting Amos, and she needed some time to calm herself down.

“Then I’ll leave it here.”

When she was about to turn around, Eudora suddenly called her. “Cindy, do you know about the church in the West Mountain? I heard that the prayers there are effective.”

Cindy was stunned for a moment, “Mrs. Granger, why are you suddenly mentioning this?”

“I want to do my prayers there!” Deep down, Eudora was afraid. She didn’t know what else to do!

If Amos did not wake up for the rest of his life, she too might collapse.

Cindy was never a believer in religion. “Mrs. Granger, you haven’t fully recovered yet. Climbing up the mountain will be too tiring for your body. Why don’t you go there another day?”

“No, I’ll go tomorrow.” She had to try as long as there was a slight glimmer of hope. She didn’t care if others would say that she was only seeking hope and praying for help in a time of emergency. She had to try everything that she could.

If praying to God for help could make things work and Amos would get better, nothing else mattered to her.

At that moment, the nurse suddenly shouted at the door, “Miss George, Mr. Granger is awake!”

Eudora was in such shock that she accidentally kicked the basin that was placed next to her. The basin fell to the ground with a thud. She rushed out of the ward hurriedly before she even had time to put on her shoes.

Cindy also hurried to catch up with her. “Mrs. Granger, be careful!”

Eudora ran to the door of the ward and placed her hands on the glass as she looked into the room attentively. As expected, Amos was awake, and the doctor was doing a simple checkup on him in the ward.

Eudora wept tears of joy. “This is amazing. He’s finally awake.”

Cindy’s eyes were also wet with tears. Anyone could see that both Mr. and Mrs. Granger loved each other so much. It was unfortunate that they had to suffer so much.

Amos suddenly turned around and looked into Eudora’s eyes, as though he sensed the pair of eyes staring at him from outside the window.

With tears in her eyes, Eudora saw Amos mouthing to her, “Don’t cry, wait for me.”

Eudora’s nose twitched and tears rolled down her cheeks. However, in order to not make Amos worry, she quickly wiped her tears away.

That night, Eudora waited patiently outside the sterile room. The doctor did an all-round examination on Amos to make sure that he was fully recovered before transferring him to the general ward the next day.

Eudora no longer wanted to leave Amos’ ward. She stayed in his ward for 24 hours a day. She even insisted on feeding him by herself.

At this moment, she was going to feed Amos more fruits. Amos pursed his lips.

“You eat!”

Eudora shook her head. “I don’t want to eat it. You eat it. You have to eat it so that your body would heal faster.”

Amos smiled and said, “Who was the one who said that she’ll starve herself to death if I don’t supervise her? Now that I’m monitoring you, you have to eat.”

Eudora was embarrassed. She thought that he was unconscious when she said those words, but he apparently heard them.

She lowered her head, exposing a section of her pale neck.

Embarrassed, she asked, “Did you hear everything I said?”

Amos pretended to be oblivious, “What? I don’t know! I only heard someone called me hubby.”

Eudora was speechless.

She suddenly stood up, covering her face.

“I’m going back to my room.”

Amos immediately reached out and grabbed her finger. “Sweetheart! Don’t go.”

Eudora curved her lips and smiled, pretending to be oblivious too.

“Who’s your sweetheart? I’m leaving.”

“Are you not my sweetheart? Otherwise, it would shameless of you to address me as your hubby.”

Eudora placed her hands on her waist, like a tiger cub with its teeth bared. “Who are you calling the shameless one?”

A split second later, Amos lowered his head slowly and said, “Sweetheart, I was wrong!”

Looking at the interaction between the both of them, Cindy held back her laughter and closed the door. It was rare to see them being so warm and happy, and she did not want to ruin the moment.

Juju came to visit them in the evening. Then, the family of three went to see Sugar Bun.

The little fellow could now open his eyes, and his skin was still slightly blushed. He was lying in the baby incubator and sucking on his fingers.

Juju blinked her eyes in hesitance.

“Mommy, why is my little brother so ugly? He looks like a little mouse.”

Eudora was at a loss for words.

“Don’t say that about your brother. He’s as handsome as your father, isn’t he?”

Juju looked at Amos awkwardly, thinking to herself, “Daddy is obviously much more handsome than him! Mommy, I don’t think that it’s nice for you to lie to me like that.”

However, Amos had already nodded before Eudora could finish her sentence. “Eudora is right.”

Juju was flabbergasted.

“Daddy, are you serious? Your eyes have been staring at Mommy the whole time. Did you really see what my brother looks like?”

Amos still nodded. “Your Mommy is right!”

Juju had nothing else to say.

Faced with such a blind father, she decided to give up.

…

Eudora stayed in Amos’ ward again that night. When Cindy left the ward, Amos reached out and grabbed Eudora. “Let me hug you.”

Eudora quickly took a step back. “I don’t want your wounds to get torn.”

However, Amos didn’t give her the chance to escape. It wasn’t easy for him to catch hold of her. He would never let her go.
