At night, while Eudora was laying in bed, she still felt puzzled.
âWhatâs going on with Christopher? Did he trick Tina again? Will Tina get angry at him for that? What if it affects the baby?â
Women would usually overthink and confuse themselves even more in this sort of situation.
Then, he looked at Amos who was remaining calm.
âChristopher didnât look like he was lying the last time. He must have undergone the vasectomy for real! As for why she has gotten pregnant, itâs hard to say.â
Eudora became anxious as she retorted, âNonsense, Tina is not that kind of person. She loves Christopher and would never cheat on him!â
Amos was rendered speechless.
He helplessly turned his head to look at Eudora. Whenever she worked, she would come off as a smart and tough woman.
However, she was still as naïve as ever when it came to matters in life!
âOf course I believe in Tina! What Iâm saying is that Christopherâ¦â Amos murmured as he checked his watch.
âStop guessing. Youâll receive a call soon!â
âWhat?â Eudora was confused.
âTina must have just received the news. Sheâll surely share it with you first!â
As expected, Eudoraâs phone rang shortly after.
Tina spilled out to Eudora everything that Christopher had just told her. When she was done, Eudora finally felt a sense of relief.
Lying on the bed again, Eudora stretched her head out and kissed Amos on the cheek.
âIâm so happy! Tina has finally fulfilled her wish, and sheâs elated as well. If Dad were still around, I reckon that he would be happy to know that!â
Amos turned to look at Eudora, âWhat about you? Do you have anything thatâs making you unhappy right now?â
Eudora was taken aback.
She quickly shook her head, âNo!â There was nothing else that could dampen her mood already.
Amos pursed his lips, âThen, what if my operationâ¦â
Before Amos could speak, Eudora had already pressed her hand against his lips to stop him from speaking.
âFor me, Iâm the happiest as long as youâre by my side. I need nothing more. What I want is for you to remain by my side!â
Amos reached out and took her into his arms, âAlright!â
Amos decided that he would take good care of himself. Even if he had to go to hell and back, he would stay by Eudoraâs side!
â¦
The next day, the results from Amosâ examination had come out.
This time, Amos came to the hospital to look at his report by his own volition.
Doctor Oscar rubbed his eyes in disbelief and thought that the sun had risen from the west.
When he came back to his senses, he quickly held on to the medical instrument behind him.
âCalm down. Donât break my things just yet.â
Amosâs face darkened, âWhat did you just say?â
Doctor Oscar took a step back. Was this really happening? Then, Doctor Leon entered the room. Upon seeing Amos, a smile appeared on his face.
He greeted Amos, âYouâre here for the report, arenât you? Youâve arrived earlier than I expected. Go get the report and show it to Amos!â
Doctor Oscar was surprised, âHeâs here for the report? I thought he came to cause trouble!â
After all, it had happened before when they had been abroad. Amos had gone to the hospital and had smashed everything around him.
However, this time, he had actually come to take a look at the report?
Doctor Oscar stretched out his hand and handed the report to Amos. His face was full of disbelief.
Doctor Leon looked at Amos and smiled again.
He smiled again, âYouâve been in a good state recently. Your physical condition is much better than before. If no more problems arise, we can proceed with the operation in three days. What do you think?â
Amos was inexplicably nervous for a moment, âIâ¦â
Doctor Leon asked curiously, âWhatâs wrong?â
Amos took another look at Doctor Oscar, who had been in disbelief but was currently eavesdropping on them. He coughed lightly and said, âYou are not my attending doctor, so why are you asking so many questions?â
It was rare for Doctor Leon to see Amos looking awkward. He instantly understood what was going on.
Amos wanted to say something, but since he was here, he was too shy to say it out loud!
Amos actually was feeling embarrassed!
Doctor Leon pretended that he knew nothing and left the room.
âShall I go? If you have questions, you can ask him!â
Doctor Oscar looked at Doctor Leon nervously, âAre you really leaving?â
Doctor Leon nodded and said, âYes, he has questions for you. What good would I do staying here? Answer his questions then! Iâll be waiting outside.â
Doctor Oscar swallowed down his saliva and smiled at Amos as Doctor Leon departed.
âWhatâs wrong? Ask what you have in mind, and just donât touch my equipment.â
Amos glared at him.
He quipped, âA long as you answer my question honestly, I wonât touch your stuff. However, if you donât give me an honest reply, I canât promise anything!â
âIâll answer truthfully!â
Amos was silent for a while.
Then, he asked in a low voice, âIâm just⦠Whatâs the success rate of the surgery?â
âWhat?â Doctor Oscar thought he had misheard and looked at Amos in confusion.
Amos frowned.
He repeated his question impatiently, âIs there a possibility that the surgery will fail? As if that I canât look like what I used to?â
This time, Doctor Oscar had finally heard his question, but he grew even more confused!
With his confusion, came surprise. It turned out that a man as noble as Amos could actually be worried about his appearance!
He had thought that Amos would not care about such things. Otherwise, why would he be as stubborn before and had even refused to receive treatment?
âOh! Thereâs a possibility that the surgery will fail, but that percentage is relatively small.â
âHow small?â Amos frowned.
âThirty percent, I guess? However, Iâve checked. The scars you have are only on the surface, so you have a better chance of success!â
âHow high is the success rate?â
Doctor Oscar kept quiet.
He had no idea what to say.
In the end, he replied, âAt least eighty percent!â
Amos was still dissatisfied, âHavenât you done your preparations well? Why is the success rate only eighty percent?â
Doctor Oscar was rendered speechless for a moment.
âMr. Granger, you canât put it that way! There will be many possibilities during the operation! Weâre fully prepared, but no one can guarantee anything, right?â
Amosâs expression was icy. He actually knew it well himself but just was reluctant to believe it.
He had already decided that since he had returned to Rosaville City, he could not stand by and watch his wife and children be denigrated.
Although it was unfair for the doctor, this time, he had to act this way.
âIf I want the possibility of failure to be zero, what do you need to do?â
Doctor Oscar was taken aback and exclaimed, âThatâs unthinkable! You must have a firm understanding of your own body already. Some critical parts have been damaged and we must avoid them. We canât fully restore them this wayâ¦â
âThereâs no need to avoid them!â Amos frowned, âI want you to mend them instead.â
âAre you out of your mind?â Doctor Oscar was shocked, âIâve never seen anyone as crazy as you. Youâll be putting your own life on the line!â
âWell, now you have! I want to return to my previous state, so please promise me that!â
âAre you sure? What if something goes wrong? Iâ¦â
