Auntie Valerie was shocked when she saw the scene, âWhat happened? I will call a doctorâ¦â
âNo! Itâs fine!â Eudora said, âCould you please get a towel for me? He will be fine after a while.â
Auntie Valerie was a bit doubtful but Eudora seemed to be very confident. She brought a damp towel over hurriedly, to which Eudora then wiped Amosâ body gently with it. She left out a sigh of relief when she noticed that his condition was improving.
Auntie Valerie was stunned, âHow could this be possibleâ¦â
Amosâ sudden relapse took a toll on Eudoraâs already poor health. She was extremely worried about him earlier, and now that he was getting better, Eudora felt as though she was about to collapse on the ground.
Auntie Valerie quickly helped her back to her bed. She then looked at Amos, who was breathing normally. She shook her head and said, âMiss George, please have a good rest. I will stay here with him.â
Eudora nodded but she was still worried, hence she said, âPlease do not touch him.â
Auntie Valerie nodded, âGot it. â
Eudora fell asleep peacefully, for she knew that she could trust Auntie Valerie. After all, the latter had worked in their house for a long time.
It was already early the next morning when she woke up.
She felt much better after taking a rest. However, she could feel some sort of weight resting on her body. As she moved a little, she realized that her waist was being held on by a pair of big arms.
Eudora was surprised that she almost jumped up.
The man behind her held her and said, âLetâs sleep a little longer.â
Eudora breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Amosâ voice, âWhy did you climb into my bed?â
âI couldnât sleep well on the sofa because it was missing your scent,â There was a trace of mischievousness in his deep voice.
Eudora was convinced by him, and then she recalled the rashes on his body. She turned around and opened up his collar to check.
When she saw that the rashes had subsided, she let out a sigh of relief.
The man grabbed her wrist and touched the tip of her nose with his, âI may not be able to control myself if you do thisâ¦â
Eudora blushed, âHold up. Answer me. Why did you get those rashes last night? Did you have contact with any woman?â
Amos could not hide his happiness when he saw Eudora questioning him so feistily. His lips curled, âAre you jealous?â
âWhoâs jealous? Whatever. I almost threw you out yesterday. Just ask Auntie Valerie.â
âWhy are you being so fierce?â The happiness in Amosâ eyes deepened, âHow did I get better if you had thrown me out last night?â
âHow am I supposed to know? Maybe you are not allergic to some other womenâs touch?â
âAnd yet you said that youâre not jealous,â Amos reached out and pinched the tip of her nose gently, âThis room is filled with your jealousy.â
Eudora pouted, âGo away!â
After a while, Amos then said, âAre you really going to ignore me? Iâll leave then.â
He got up after saying that.
In a split second, Eudora reached out and grabbed his arm, âI allow you to hug me.â
Amos lay down on the bed again and hugged her. At this moment, Harley entered the room.
He cursed his heart as though he had seen something that he should not have. He then covered his eyes and said, âI did not see anything.â
Eudora blushed and hid hurriedly under the quilt. At the same time, Amos sat up calmly and frowned slightly.
âThis better be urgent!â
Harley couldnât help but feel a chill on his back, âIs closing up a case considered urgent?â
Amos frowned slightly, âAre you sure that youâve investigated thoroughly?â
Harley was stunned, âDo you have any other leads?â
Eudora looking at the two men curiously, âAre you guys talking about the car accident?â
âYes!â Amos replied faintly. He then reached out and gently tapped her shoulders, gesturing her to lie back on the bed, âHave a good rest. Iâll be back soon.â
Harley was dumbstruck after seeing Amos informing Eudora about his whereabouts. He had never acted like that before.
âYouâll be fine, right?â Eudora asked.
âYep. Itâll be fine. Donât worry,â Amos then turned around and went out with Harley.
Harley turned around and waved goodbye to Eudora, âSee you next time, Eudora!â
Eudora was speechless.
Once they got to the lawn, Harley looked at Amos anxiously, âI heard that you were attacked by a woman last night. Are you okay?â
âDo I look like Iâm not okay?â
âTsk! How did you end up getting attacked by a woman then? What did you do?â
Amos did not answer, but he merely asked, âIs the case settled?â
âNot yet, but almost. Based on the evidence, the driver was just exhausted.â
Amos chuckled, âIâll show you something.â
The lead was sent to him this morning by the people that were working for Thomas Shelby. However, he had not seen the file yet. He then passed the file to Harley. After opening the file and checking its contents, Harleyâs face gradually darkened.
âIt was planned? Did they bribe the driver?â
However, his colleagues couldnât find anything of the sort. That indicated that the people behind this were very powerful.
âYou were checking on this last night, soâ¦â
âThatâs not the point!â Amos interrupted him, âThe point is Samantha is the person behind this!â
There were clips and photos of Samantha meeting the truck driver in the file. It seemed that Harryâs family was involved in the plan.
Harley frowned, âItâs them again. What are you planning to do then?â
Amos sneered, âI donât know anything. What do you think I should do?â
Harley immediately understood, âOkay, I got it. Iâll hand it over to the relevant department.â
It seemed that Harry had really triggered Amos this time.
â¦
Samantha Cooper had been staying at home after that incident.
Learning that the police were about to close the case, she went to get some news on Eudora.
She was told that Eudora had already woken up.
Samantha was so angry that she threw the groceries that she had just bought to the ground.
âEudora, you got lucky! How did you even survive that?â
Suddenly, Samantha heard the siren of police cars from afar. She noticed that the police were heading to her house. Out of panic, she quickly ran in the opposite direction.
â¦
Eudora was lying on the bed while Amos was leaning against the sofa, peeling an apple for her.
He then handed the peeled apple over to Eudora, âHave a bite?â
Eudora took a bite, âItâs sweet!â She then took another bite.
However, she seemed to have bit too much and she accidentally licked Amosâ finger. Amos asked, âWhich is sweeter? Me or the apple?â
Eudora knew what Amosâ thoughts were just from his look. She couldnât help but shrink her neck, âThe apple is sweeter.â
âHmm?â Amos grabbed her chin and kissed her on the lips, âWrong. Give me a new answer.â
âThe apple is sweeter!â She struggled.
Then, she received another kiss. This time, it was a French kiss. Eudora was very nervous because she was afraid that someone would push the door open all of a sudden.
When he finally let go of her, she quickly changed her words, âYouâre sweeter!â
The man kissed her on the lips once again, âCorrect. You get a kiss as a reward.â
Eudora was speechless.
