Chapter 856: Chapter 856 Mind Games

Three days had elapsed in the blink of an eye.

It was finally the day of the operation.

Since getting up in the morning, Eudora did not dare to talk about the operation. After she had her breakfast, she followed Amos’s request and went to work.

However, how could she possibly focus on work?

The day before, Clint had already freed her day from her work. She was to spend all of her energy today accompanying Amos.

After walking around the company, she looked at the time and figured that Amos should currently be in the operating theatre. She quickly rushed to the hospital.

As soon as she entered, she saw Helen waiting outside.

Beside Helen was a refined-looking man with gold-rimmed glasses. He was holding Helen’s hand with his large ones, thus he was most likely Helen’s husband.

Helen greeted Eudora.

“Dad has gone in too. He’s an expert. Amos has gotten injured before this and since his organs might be affected by that time, it’s safer for Dad to be in there.”

There was a slight pause.

Then, she added, “I’m only here to see Dad! That’s why I’ve been waiting here for a while…”

Eudora couldn’t help but laugh, “I understand!”

They were a sweet and affectionate couple, so how would she think otherwise?

Despite that, Helen only lingered for a little longer before standing up and saying, “We still have other things to do, so we’ll leave first.”

“Aren’t you going to wait for Doctor Leon?” Eudora asked.

“It’s okay. Dad will call me when he comes out!”

Although she felt uneasy, Eudora couldn’t possibly have them stay. To show that she wasn’t upset, Eudora sent the two of them away before returning to the spot she had been.

Just as she was about to re-enter the room, she saw a familiar figure standing at the door and smiling at Eudora. Eudora opened her mouth, but Elaine had already taken the lead to speak.

She asked, “Aren’t you going to invite me in?”

Eudora stretched her hand out and gestured, “This is a hospital. You don’t need an invitation.”

“That’s different. Doesn’t this hospital only serve you now? I heard that Sawyer, no, President Granger is having an operation today, so I came by to see him. You don’t mind, do you?”

Eudora shook her head, “There’s no way I would mind! Why would I?”

Elaine breathed a sigh of relief, “I’m sorry, in the past, I… In short, I had some foolish thoughts towards him. Fortunately, I found out the truth in time. Why wasn’t I more doubtful upon suddenly meeting such an excellent man? Sure enough, he was already taken!”

She had said so in a playful tone, which piqued Eudora’s interest.

“Miss Malone, you deserve better!” replied Eudora.

After that, the two of them stopped talking.

The red light outside the operating room had been on the whole time. The two of them gradually grew more and more anxious.

Harley and the others also came. However, when they saw how nervous Eudora was, they did not want to disturb her and chose to wait outside the corridor.

The air suddenly fell into silence.

The door of the operating room was suddenly opened from inside and a nurse came out.

She called out, “Where is Miss George? Where’s the patient’s family?”

Eudora’s heart skipped a beat. She stood up immediately, “I’m here.”

The nurse immediately pulled her inside and said, “Get changed! Get in!”

“What’s the matter? Did something happen to Amos?” It was terrifying to encounter something like this in the operating room. Upon thinking of the possibilities, her legs went limp.

Was it possible that something had happened to Amos? Was she going to see him one last time?

Eudora’s nose twitched and her hands couldn’t help but tremble.

The next second, the nurse had pushed her into the changing room, “Get changed immediately!”

As the door was being closed, Eudora saw Harley and the others in a panic outside the operating room.

…

With trembling fingers, she changed into the sterile clothes and came out. Eudora looked at Amos, who was lying on the operating table, with tears in her eyes.

“Amos, I…”

The next second, Doctor Leon interrupted her.

“Go and persuade him. He’s throwing a tantrum again! Only you can convince him.”

Eudora was stunned. She had thought that she was going to say goodbye to him and it had scared her to death! Hearing Doctor Leon’s words, she noticed that he was fine.

It was just that once the effect of the anesthetic had faded away a little, he had started resisting.

He had refused to take any more anesthetic. However, on the other hand, he was also telling the doctor to obey his prior request.

Eudora frowned, “What was his request?”

Doctor Leon whispered, “He wants to go back to how he used to be and even wants to get the parts of him that were seriously injured fixed! He’s risking his life!”

Eudora’s heart throbbed. She quickly stepped forward, shouting, “Amos Granger!”

Amos, who had a stubborn look on his face before, came back to his senses when he heard her voice.

“Eudora?”

“It’s me!” Tears welled up in Eudora’s eyes as she spoke, “I’m really concerned about you!”

Amos was anxious, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine!”

He wanted to reach out to hug her, but he was unable to move due to the anesthetic.

He felt so anxious that he could only give Doctor Leon another look, “Tell her that I’ll be fine, won’t you?”

Doctor Leon put an innocent look on his face as he replied, “I would take your side. However, since you’re making things difficult for us, I can’t take your side anymore!”

Doctor Oscar was taken aback and was at a loss for words.

He had never seen anyone with such strong willpower that he could even fight back against the anesthesia. He had even started quarrelling with the doctors on the operating table.

He had never experienced this situation before.

Now that Amos had no more ideas, he could only look at Eudora. He tried to comfort her, “Don’t cry. I’ll listen to you. What do you think I should do?”

Eudora had been putting on a show as she just wanted Amos to compromise. She understood Amos the most, so naturally, she knew what Amos’ fatal weakness was.

The fastest way to make Amos surrender was by shedding tears.

However, now that Amos had truly given in, she genuinely felt like crying. The feeling grew even more when she saw all the red scars on Amos’s body.

She really felt sorry for him.

At that moment, she could not hold it in any longer.

Tears continued to stream down her cheeks. She was unable to save herself from crying, no matter how much she tried.

“Amos, please let nothing bad happen to you. You promised me that we’ll grow old together, that you’ll buy me a house with a big garden so we can grow flowers together when we’re old. You haven’t fulfilled your promises yet!”

Amos nodded, “Okay, I’ll definitely be fine.”

After that, he looked at Doctor Leon again.

He spoke, “You mentioned that there was the safest way, right? I’ll do as you say! Give me the anesthetic!”

Doctor Leon immediately called for the nurse and said, “Alright, please bring Miss George out!”

Doctor Oscar was impressed by Doctor Leon’s smooth plan and was totally in awe.

“Now I finally understand why you’re the most famous doctor in the country! Not only are you a skilled doctor, but you’re also good at playing mind games!”
