Chapter 868: Chapter 868 Tricked

After returning to the ward, Thea’s mood was much better than before.

Eudora put the food she had bought on the table and went over to persuade her, “Eat something. You need to have enough energy to take care of Cutie Pie!”

As soon as Thea heard her mention Cutie Pie, she reluctantly picked up a spoon and ate some food.

Harley took advantage of the situation to give Amos a look and the two of them went out one after another.

In the smoking area, Harley took out a cigarette and handed it to Amos.

Amos shook his head and said, “No, thanks. Eudora doesn’t like the smell of cigarettes.”

Harley just kept quiet.

Amos was showing off how loving they were again. However, he currently was not in the mood to bicker with Amos.

After lighting up the cigarette, he took a puff and said, “Bro, you must help me out this time!”

Amos patted him on the back as he comforted, “There’s no need to talk like that since we’re already such good friends. Cutie Pie is sick, so there should be something that I can do. I contacted Doctor Leon on the way back just now. He possesses greater resources in this field than we do and he’s already making some arrangements!”

After all, Doctor Leon was also a well-known doctor, both locally and abroad. Many people would like to lend him a hand!

Harley held Amos’ hand and said, “Bro, thank you so much!”

Amos pursed his lips and said, “However, I don’t think the problem between the two of you is something that a doctor can solve!”

Harley was stunned, “You’ve noticed it?”

He gave a second thought and figured that Amos really was no ordinary man after all, so how could he have not noticed?

“Ah…” Harley smiled wryly. “I should have learned from you to be more domineering. Then, today’s tragedy wouldn’t have happened. Although I’ve always regarded Cutie Pie as my son, the fact remains that he’s not my biological son. Now, I feel that my existence is extremely out-of-place! I don’t know what to say or do.”

Amos stayed quiet. Truth be told, what Harley needed now was just someone to talk to. He wasn’t asking for advice.

Therefore, Harley opened his mouth yet again.

He said, “Amos, have you ever felt this way? I’m just scared! Am I weak by being scared? I’m worried that if Cutie Pie really can’t be cured, then Thea might collapse. I’m worried that the doctors won’t be able to find a solution and then she would have to go back to that irresponsible a*shole. No matter what, I can’t accept that. Amos, aren’t I a failure?”

Amos shook his head and said, “No! Everyone has their own weaknesses. It’s not your fault.”

Harley was stunned and looked at Amos sideways.

Amos pursed his lips for a long time before saying faintly, “When she got poisoned, I was the same as you.”

Harley had been quite depressed at first. However, when he heard Amos say that he had been as scared as he currently was, he suddenly burst into laughter.

He replied, “I’m relieved then! It turns out that I’m not that weak. If even you were afraid, then it’s normal for me to be afraid too! Everything will work out in the end. I believe that!”

Amos nodded and said, “Yes, it will!”

He wasn’t speaking carelessly, but sincerely!

The situation was just like Eudora and himself. For countless times, he had thought that their relationship had reached a point where it was impossible for them to return to the way they used to be. In the end, they were still reunited together.

“No matter what, as long as you love each other, you can overcome all difficulties.”

Harley sneered, “Alright, alright! I didn’t expect such advice to come from you. I feel honored. I’ll keep your words in my heart! Let’s go back. We wouldn’t want our wives to worry about us!”

However, when they arrived at the door of the ward, Harley told Amos, “You go in first! I’ll try to get rid of the smell of smoke from just now.”

Amos did not expose him either and just went inside.

When Amos left, Harley’s face fell again and he sighed.

It was easier said than done. In this world, it wasn’t easy to find someone as strong as Amos!

…

In the ward, Cutie Pie was doing better after getting treated by the doctor.

Under Eudora’s persuasion, Thea laid down next to Cutie Pie and both of them fell fast asleep.

Eudora asked Amos softly, “How is Harley?”

Amos smiled, “He’s fine. He’s stronger than you think. Since everything is alright here, let’s head back first! We’ll see them tomorrow!”

Eudora nodded. Juju had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

Just as Eudora was about to pick her, Amos had already acted faster. Juju got scooped up into his arms.

He beckoned Eudora, “Let’s go!”

After they arrived at home, Eudora coaxed Juju to sleep. Just as she was about to enter the bedroom, Amos hugged her from behind.

His embrace was warm and Eudora enjoyed being hugged like this. However, it felt strange today.

Thus, she couldn’t help but ask, “What’s going on?”

Amos lowered his head and landed a kiss on her head as he replied, “Nothing. I just want to keep holding you like this.”

It was really rare for Amos to be so melodramatic. Eudora found it a little funny.

She asked, “Have you become sentimental after watching soap operas with me these days?”

Eudora had fallen in love with watching soap operas recently. She had no idea why, but she found them to be touching.

Later onwards, she had dragged Amos to watch them with her. At first, she had been teasing him. She figured that Amos would only accompany her for two days at most.

Unexpectedly…

Amos had accompanied her all this while to watch them.

That was why Eudora had asked such a question. She just wanted to tease him.

Amos shook his head, “No, it’s just that I feel a little scared all of a sudden!”

“What are you scared of?” Eudora was curious. “I don’t recall anything bad recently that has happened to our family! Don’t freak me out!”

Amos shook his head again, “When I was talking to Harley today, I suddenly remembered the things that have happened in the past. There were many times that I thought I would lose you. Thinking about them, I still can’t help but feel a little scared!”

Eudora had no clue what to say in response.

In the end, she just said, “You’re so silly.” When she saw how serious he was, she felt that he was so adorable.

Eudora grabbed Amos’ hand and placed it on her chest.

“Can you feel my heart beating? We’re fine now. The past is in the past. We’ll be fine, so don’t be afraid!”

Amos stayed silent. Eudora thought that he was still worried, so she wanted to say something. However, Amos suddenly kissed her on the lips.

He said, “You’re seducing me!”

Eudora was taken aback, “What? I… Uh…”

Before she could finish her words, her lips were sealed.

After a while, her world started spinning and she lost the upper hand. She felt like she was on a boat, rocking up and down along with the waves.
