By the time they arrived at Long City, it was already night time.
Everyone went to rest in their respective rooms in the hotel. Eudora was also brought to the room by Amos. Her condition seemed to have deteriorated compared to when she was at home.
He instantly took out a digital thermometer and helped her to measure her body temperature. Sure enough, her body temperature had risen to 39°C.
He immediately went to get the antipyretics for her and helped to decrease her body temperature through an external cooling method.
Fortunately, Sugar Bun was very obedient and did not make a fuss.
When she woke up in a daze, it was already midnight. Sugar Bun was asleep whereas Amos was leaning against her.
The moment she moved, he woke up too.
âHow are you feeling?â
She shook her head and said, âI want to go to the washroom!â
He got up to help her to the washroom. She was feeling awfully feeble and fatigued.
When she came out of the bathroom, before she could even get back to the bed, her vision went black and she fainted.
â¦
It was already the next day when she woke up again. Sunlight phone through the window. Sugar Bun was standing at the side of the bed, looking at Eudora. He said. âMommy, have some water!â
She was still feeling dizzy, so she took a sip of water and looked around the room.
âWhereâs your dad?â
âDaddy is workingâ¦â
She was shocked and wanted to sit up hurriedly. âWhat work is your dad attending to?â
Sugar Bun shook his head. âUncle Clint and Daddy, togetherâ¦â
She was astounded.
âSo, he went to my meeting with my client on behalf of me? But Iâve been handling the project all the while. Would my client perceive that as a disrespectful behavior?â She paused and pondered the consequences.
Then, she got up fast from the bed.
Sugar Bun was still a child, thus he didnât know much about the situation. When he saw Eudora getting up, he started to speak softly.
âDaddy said you have to be obedient!â
She shook her head. âNo way! If I donât go, Iâll be considered irresponsible! Do you want me to be an irresponsible person?â
He shook his head. âI donât want to.â
âIsnât that right? I canât be such a person! Therefore, you shouldnât stop me from going out!â
She found her clothes and went into the bathroom to get dressed. After that, she went out with Sugar Bun in her arms and booked a taxi to go to the destination for their meeting.
She had saved the address in her mobile phone.
It just so happened that the place was not far from where they were at the moment. When she arrived, she saw the scene in the lobby as soon as she got out of the car. Amos and the others were talking.
However, the expression on the clientâs face showed that he was not very happy.
Eudora was nervous and she walked inside in haste with the child in her arms.
Before she got close to them, she heard her client, Mr. Clarke asking, âWhat do you mean? Are you looking down on me?â
She stepped forward and said, âMr. Clarke, Iâm sorry, Iâm late!â
Hearing her voice, Mr. Clarke and Amos turned around simultaneously. She didnât have time to talk to Amos, she looked anxiously at Mr. Clarke instead.
âMr. Clarke, please donât be angry. I just felt a little uncomfortable temporarily and I didnât not come on purpose. Now that Iâm here, Iâll drink three glasses of wine as an apology if you are angry.â
As she spoke, she reached out her hand to get the wine. However, before her hand could touch the glass, Amos had already grabbed her wrist.
Eudora turned to look at him, but Mr. Clarke, who was opposite them, smiled.
âMr. Granger, youâre so lucky to have such a capable wife! With you two in the Valiant East, it would definitely be a successful company!â
Amos smiled faintly and said, âThank you for your compliment.â
Eudora looked suspiciously at the two men. âWhatâs wrong?â
Mr. Clarke said with a smile, âIâve always admired President Granger. Miss George, I thought I could only meet you today. I didnât expect to talk to him about so many things about work. It benefited me a lot. Iâm so content today!â
She realized that Mr. Clarke was not angry at all. He was talking about other peopleâs matters with Amos.
She suddenly felt a little embarrassed. âThatâs right, Amos is so proficient at his job. How could he encounter something like that?â She thought.
Just as she was deep in thought, Amos opened his mouth.
âMr. Clarke, regarding the issues that you have mentioned just now, Iâll have my subordinates at the engineering department come up with a plan for you as soon as possible! My wife isnât feeling well, so letâs call it a day, shall we?â
Mr. Clarke nodded and said, âYour words have indeed enlightened me! Iâm satisfied that I could chat with you for a while today. I hope that we can have another conversation in the future!â
âItâs my pleasure,â said Amos.
After Mr. Clarke left, Amos stroked Eudoraâs forehead.
âThereâs still a little fever, Iâll take you back!â
She nodded and followed him. Neither did she try to refute him, nor did she say anything!
She looked downhearted along the way back. Amos said, âI decided to go there because I saw that you were not in good health. I didnât mean to hide it from you!â
She smiled and shook her head. âDo you think Iâm angry about this? How is it possible? Valiant East is yours. Iâm just helping you to manage it!â
Those were her sincere words. Besides, she didnât get dispirited because of that!
Amos thought it was his fault, so he added.
âWhatâs mine is yours. Thereâs no difference between you and me!â
She nodded. âThank you!â
After arriving at the hotel and having lunch, Amos took a nap with his wife and child. Sugar Bun usually slept at a regular time. However, he woke up early in the morning that day, hence he fell asleep very quickly!
Eudora laid there, unable to sleep, but she didnât dare to move. She was afraid of waking Amos or Sugar Bun up accidentally.
Unexpectedly, Amos turned around and held her hand in the next second.
âAre you still thinking about it?â
She wanted to shake her head, but he spoke again.
âDidnât you say that a husband and wife should be honest with each other ? Why do you look unhappy today?â
Eudora said, âIâm just⦠just feeling a little frustrated! I have been telling you confidently that I would manage this family well and take good care of you and the children. After working hard for so long, I find that I canât do it!â
He breathed a sigh of relief. âThatâs the reason?â
She quickly explained to Amos, âIâm not jealous of you. I just couldnât help but despise myself for my own abilities, not to mention the fact that I need you to worry about me all the time!â
He reached out and held her in his arms. âYouâre so great. If it wasnât for you, Valiant East might have been taken away already! Didnât you hear Mr. Clarkeâs praise just now?â
She pursed her lips and said, âBut Honey, I want to be as excellent as you and stand in the same position as you, so that I can be worthy of your love!â
Hearing that, he was astonished.
He had thought of many things, but he didnât expect that Eudora would work so hard simply for that reason.
It turned out to be the reason!
