When Elaine followed him out, she saw Sawyer carrying Eudora.
Elaine was stunned and hurriedly came up to him, âWhat happened to her?â
âMaybe sheâs drunk!â
Elaine immediately became furious, âThose people really are too much! How can they treat a woman like this? Fortunately, we had gone just now. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.â
As soon as Elaine finished speaking, she felt a cold aura emitting from Sawyerâs body.
In the blink of an eye, the chill disappeared.
Elaine blinked her eyes. She must have made a mistake!
In Sawyerâs arms, Eudora was still muttering to herself. Elaine listened to her words carefully and instantly felt moved.
âIâve heard stories about Mr. Granger and Miss George. They were a loving couple! I envy them the most. I thought they would last forever, but life is so unexpected. I have her assistantâs number. Why donât I ask him to send her home?â
After saying that, Elaine got ready to grab her phone.
However, Sawyer said in a cold voice, âIf her assistant comes, heâll definitely send her home. She has two kids at home. Itâs not good for her to go back like this.â
Elaineâs finger paused, âWhat youâve said makes sense. Then, what should weâ¦â
âLetâs bring her home with us first!â said Sawyer as he walked over and got into the car.
Elaine looked at his back and was stunned for a moment.
She asked in astonishment, âHow did you know that?â
â¦
Elaine and Sawyer were neighbors. After they arrived home, Sawyer opened the door and carried Eudora inside.
She was drunk. Additionally, she was sick too. She looked like she was not in good health.
Elaine said in a hurry, âI have some cooling patches at home. Iâll get them.â
Sawyer ignored her and carried Eudora straight into the bedroom. Elaine walked to the door and turned back, âSawyer, donât go overboard! If you harbor the same thoughts as the men at the banquet, Iâll despise you!â
Sawyerâs footsteps paused. In the end, he placed Eudora on the sofa.
Elaine smiled and said, âI knew that you werenât that kind of man.â
Sawyer looked at the woman in his arms with his heart empty.
It was just that he realized that she might feel awkward after waking up, so he put her on the sofa.
After she laid down, Sawyer grabbed a wet towel and wiped her arms and face to cool her down. Since she was drunk, he could not give her medicine.
So, he went to the kitchen and made some ginger soup. It was more exquisite than the one in the banquet hall.
He did not want the taste of the ginger to be too strong, so he added other ingredients into it. Not only would it not affect the healing effects, it would also be delicious.
After he was done, he quickly came back and helped Eudora to sit up straight.
âCome on, drink it.â
Eudora did not say anything at first. Now that she had been woken up by Sawyer, she suddenly began to mutter in a daze.
He leaned closer to listen and instantly felt a lump in his throat. His heart was aching.
She kept saying, âAmos, Iâm so tired. Ever since you passed on, Iâve been all alone. Iâm really tired.â
Sawyer clenched his fists then loosened them.
After a long time, he answered in a low, hoarse voice, âIâm here, Iâve always been here.â
As if Eudora had found comfort, she grabbed his wrist with both hands and gradually calmed down.
Then, he fed her the ginger soup bit by bit before putting down the bowl.
After a while, he could hear Elaineâs footsteps. She was still nagging as she walked in.
âSawyer, donât you think itâs strange? Iâve already tidied up my belongings, but I couldnât find the cooling patches anywhere. Fortunately, I had looked around a few more times and Iâve finally found them. Youâ¦â
Before finishing her words, she stopped again.
Sawyer, who had always been cold and indifferent, was actually taking care of someone at that moment.
Looking at the wet towel on Eudoraâs forehead, Elaine paused for a moment, regained her composure and walked in.
âHow is she now?â
âSheâs fine,â replied Sawyer indifferently.
âYou even made ginger soup?â Elaine was even more surprised, âWhat a rare sighting. This is the first time Iâve seen you treat someone this way. Donât tell me youâre in love with Miss George?â
Elaine had always been straightforward and she would say whatever was on her mind.
Hearing that, Sawyerâs finger paused slightly.
âNo, Iâm not.â
âReally? Thatâs good! If you really like Miss George, I advise you to give up on that notion. Miss George and her husband were incredibly close. She wonât accept anyone else. Otherwise, with so many men around, how could she stay single? Didnât you hear her just now? Even when she was drunk, she still called out for Amos.â
Sawyer stood up and took the cooling patch. He no longer paid any attention to Elaine.
Elaine looked at his back.
She rolled her eyes, âWhat a weirdo.â
After Sawyer walked away, Elaine lowered her head to look at Eudora.
It was said that Eudora was the most beautiful woman in Rosaville City. It really was the case! Elaine had been attracted by her beauty upon seeing her for the first time.
Even if they were of the same gender, it was difficult not to fall for her beauty!
Then, she thought of Sawyer, a boring man. They had already known each other for a few months. Usually, the only person he interacted with was her.
She had thought she was different from other people. Now, it seemed that beautiful women were even more likable!
Thinking of that, Elaine sighed again.
âIâm so jealous of you!â
â¦
In the middle of the night, Eudoraâs fever eventually subsided. Sawyer finally let out a sigh of relief and turned to look at Elaine.
âGo back and take a rest!â
Elaine refused to leave, âItâs inappropriate for you two to be alone. What if someone finds out? It wonât affect you, but what about Miss Georgeâs reputation? You can go back to your room. Iâll stay here to accompany Miss Georgeâ
Sawyer frowned, but Elaine had already made up her mind. She dragged and pushed him away.
After that, Elaine sat next to Eudora and looked at her eagerly.
âAlright, letâs rest!â
In the dead of the night, the living room finally became quiet. Sawyer slowly pushed the door open and came out of his room.
The moonlight came in through the window slits, making the room brighter.
Following the light, Sawyer walked towards Eudora and sat beside her, looking at her face under the moonlight.
Eudora seemed to be dreaming again. She kept calling out for Amos.
Every single word was like a sharp sword piercing into Sawyerâs heart.
For a second, he was hallucinating, as if he had returned to the past. When he looked at his glove-clad hands, he hurriedly drew them back.
After a long time, he sighed and said, âIâm sorry. Forget about him!â
