After Eudora went back, she tidied up herself and prepared breakfast for Sugar Bun. Shortly after, Charlie also came back.
Eudora looked at Charlie eagerly. She could not relax until he had told her that everything went well and Juju was elated as well. Then, she felt at ease.
âThatâs good.â
After a short pause, she said, âIâve cooked a lot of food. All of you should eat it! Iâll ask the driver to send me to the company.â
â¦
She had not slept well the previous night. On the way to the company, Eudora relaxed and closed her eyes to rest for a bit.
They arrived at the crossroads.
The driver was murmuring in his seat, âThere seems to be an accident in front. There are many people. Madam, shall we take another route?â
Eudora nodded in a daze, âOkay!â
Then, the driver turned around.
As soon as the car turned around, Eudora heard a sharp honk. Then, her whole body shuddered violently, and she heard a loud bang. She was completely awakened.
She felt a sharp pain on her leg.
The driver shouted, âMadam, are you alright?â
Eudora subconsciously rubbed her aching leg. She endured the pain and said, âIâm fine.â
âI think weâve been hit on the side. Iâll call the police immediately!â
Although the scene was chaotic, Eudora felt calm for some reason.
âThen, Iâll call for an ambulance!â
After she ended the phone call, the driver led her out from the other side. Eudora finally saw what had gone down.
Like what the driver had said, there had been a car accident in front of them, and half of the road was blocked.
There was only one lane left. In the end, a truck that did not slow down had hit them from the side.
The driver was anxious and kept asking Eudora, âMadam, are you really all right?â
âIâm fine. Itâs probably just a small fracture. It shouldnât be a big deal.â
The calmer she was, and the more she said she was fine, the more nervous the driver became.
âIâm sorry, Madam. Itâs my fault.â
âIâm seriously all right!â Eudora shook her head.
She was telling the truth. She had forgotten how many times her body and leg had been injured. She had already grown used to it, and she could theorize what kind of injury she had from the pain.
She did not think that she had suffered a major fracture. It should not be that serious and she would be fine after some rest!
The driver was almost scared to tears. Soon, Clint and the ambulance arrived at the same time.
The driver kept apologizing, âIâm sorry, Assistant Zuckerberg. Itâs all my fault.â
Clint frowned, âEnough. Madam has already said that itâs all right. Letâs not talk about this. Iâll follow her to the hospital. You, stay here and handle the police report.â
Eudora tried to smooth things over, âItâs fine. You donât have to take it too seriously.â
Clint sighed and felt upset.
Looking at how tough she was acting made him feel worse. If Mr. Granger was still around, she would not have to act tough.
â¦
In the hospital, the diagnosis turned out to be the same as Eudora had expected.
It was indeed a minor fracture. The doctor gave her a suggestion.
The doctor suggested to her, âYouâll need to stay at the hospital for at least a week. Weâll put a cast on your leg and you have to make sure not to touch the wound.â
Eudora tried to talk her way out of it, âDoctor, I really feel fine. I have experience in this. I will take care of myself. Let me be discharged. I can find a doctor and get treatmentâ¦â
âMadam!â Clint frowned. âYouâd better listen to the doctor. Iâll arrange the rest.â
Upon hearing the news, Tina rushed over and tried to advise her, âEudora, follow the doctorâs advice. He wonât harm you. The company is doing fine, so what are you worried about?â
Eudora shook her head and said, âItâs not just about the companyâs affairs, but my children. Juju isnât at home. How can I let Sugar Bun be home alone?â
âDonât you have me? I can take care of Sugar Bun. Donât worry about it!â
Eudora was still worried. âDonât you have to take care of Christopher?â
âChristopher is fine. He has already fully recovered. He can run around fine now. Thereâs no need for me to take care of him. Donât think that other people are so fragile whereas youâre some superhuman. Itâs decided. Youâll stay in the hospital. At least stay for a few days, okay?â
Eudora was unable to dissuade her, so she could only agree.
Tina left.
Then, Eudora asked Clint about the accident, âWhat happened? What did the driver say?â
Clint was apologetic, âHeâs somewhat responsible for the accident. Before making a turn, he should have checked properly. He didnât make a proper judgment at that timeâ¦â
Tina frowned, âEudora is working so hard and spends a lot of her time on the road every day. I think we should find her a better driver.â
Clint nodded, âI understand. Iâll arrange for it!â
Eudora rested in the hospital for the whole afternoon. Then, she asked Clint to bring some documents to her. Only then did she feel at ease.
She finally understood why Amos had been able to work anywhere back then. Now that she had a lot of work to do, she could really work whenever and wherever.
While she was busy, Elaine came to visit her.
âWhat happened? When I went to your company to sign the contract this morning, I heard that something happened to you.â
Eudora put down the document in her hand, âItâs just a small matter. This is just a minor injury. Theyâre making things seem more serious than it is. They insist that I stay in the hospital.â
Elaine shook her head, âWhether it is a minor or major injury, itâs always best to stay in the hospital. Since youâre here, you should focus on resting. Why are you still working?â
âI really have nothing to do. I canât just sit here and do nothing.â
After chatting for a while, Elaine left the hospital.
When Elaine arrived at home, she saw that Sawyerâs door was wide open. There was a pile of luggage placed inside. She paused for a moment and stepped inside.
âSawyer, what are you doing? Are you going on a vacation?â
Sawyer shook his head, âIâm getting ready to leave Rosaville City!â
Hearing that, Elaineâs heart missed a beat, âWill you come back in the future?â
âI donât think so,â said Sawyer. As long as Eudora would live a happy life with the children, he would probably not return.
Elaine grabbed his sleeve and asked, âCan you not leave?â
Sawyer was slightly taken aback, but he broke free from her, âThereâs no reason for me to stay in the city. Rosaville City is just a place for me to stop by.â
âSince youâve said that youâre just stopping by, you could stay anywhere, right? Why canât you stay here?â
âThis is the only place that I canât stay,â muttered Sawyer.
He really was worried that if he got close to her, he would not be able to control himself from looking for her. He would only make her life difficult.
He did not want to do that.
âWhat if I want you to stay?â Elaine looked at him in a daze.
When Sawyer was about to shake his head, the TV started broadcasting a piece of news. A car accident had occurred. Just from a glance, Sawyer saw the license plate displayed on the news.
His heart skipped a beat. He said, âThis carâ¦â
Elaine remained silent. In the next second, he grabbed Elaineâs shoulders, âDidnât you go to Valiant East to sign a contract this morning? Have you heard anything about this?â
