Eudora nodded and handed the mobile phone back to Amos. "Thank you!" Amos said hurriedly upon realizing that she was leaving with Christopher, "Anya was looking for you just now. She said that she had something to tell you." "Oh, I'll look for her now." After that, she excused herself from Christopher and went inside alone. Christopher turned around and snorted before heading over to his acquaintances. Anya Astor had made an effort to dress up today. However, when she saw Eudora, she could not help but chided her, "Didn't I tell you to dress up today? Why do you look so plain? Anyway, you still look better than Wendy. Look at her, she is wearing a bright red dress today. Is she trying to look like a peacock?" Eudora followed Anya's gaze and saw Wendy, who was already surrounded by a group of people. Anya may be exaggerating, but she was not wrong. Wendy really did doll herself up today. Furthermore, she was Amos' fiancee, naturally, she w
The Old Master still looked very tough even though he was being threatened, but it was obvious that his attitude had become slightly better. Amos turned to look at Jason and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you!" Jason went over swiftly and did a quick examination. He then proceeded to study the medical records. Shortly after, he said to Amos, "Let's go out and talk!" "That's not necessary!" the Old Master said, "I'm an old man. What else could possibly be new to me? Do you think that I'm afraid of dying? Just say it!" Jason gave Amos a troubled look. He nodded. "Tell me!" Jason parted his lips reluctantly and explained, "The Old Master's treatment plan is working, so... my conclusion remains unchanged." The room was instantly quiet and the assistant hurriedly went over to the Old Master. He said, "Shall I take you home to rest?" "I will not be dying anytime soon!" the Old Master exclaimed as he looked at Amos, "Are you relieved now? Wha
However, Amos refused to leave even though Eudora had pushed him with all her strength. They were in an impasse when suddenly, a burst of laughter rang behind them. Both of them were taken aback. At that moment, it was as though Eudora had completely forgotten about chasing Amos away. "Juju, are you laughing?" Juju smiled even more happily. She kept her eyes on both Eudora and Amos as if she could not get enough of seeing them. Ever since she had been involved in that traumatic incident, Juju had not smiled for the longest time. Therefore, Amos was also very happy. He took the opportunity to ask Juju. "Juju? Do you want me to be your father?" Eudora was speechless. She said reproachfully in a low voice, "Amos..." Amos ignored her and asked Juju again, "Juju, if I were to become your father, I will be able to sleep with you and your mother on the same bed every day!" It was as if he was a wolf wagging its tail to coax a little sheep.
Amos held Eudora's head and kissed her back with a smile. "You see, Juju? We're good." Juju finally smiled. She then walked over to Amos and Eudora. She held their hands and went to the dining table together. It was a weekend that day. Therefore, the two of them played with Juju after breakfast. However, Eudora seemed to be in a world of her own. Juju called her several times in between but it seemed as though she was spacing out most of the time. Amos sighed helplessly and took the toy from her, "Is it that hard for you to trust me?" Eudora was stunned. She nodded when she realized what Amos was talking about. "I still have some difficulties believing you. After all, she had saved your life before." Five years ago, he was willing to throw his life away for Wendy Liam. How was Eudora going to believe that he was willing to punish Wendy? Amos' heart sank. At the end of the way, Wendy was still the one thing that separated them. Amos
Harley sighed and said, "It's a little scary. Let's not talk about it anymore, okay?" "Is it because of Amos?" "Do you know about it too?" "Mm, I know a little." Eudora did not tell him everything, "It wasn't anyone's fault and I won't think any less of him because of this." Harley breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Eudora meaningfully, his heart moved. "You're indeed a fine woman. Amos is lucky to have you." Eudora was embarrassed, and she immediately told him off, "Stop spouting nonsense." "I'm just telling the truth!" Harley continued, "In fact, this incident was a traumatic experience for Amos and he had suffered all these years because of it. That is also where he got his disorder from. Back then, he had the worst injuries among those who were rescued. He was covered in wounds and that old hag even..." Eudora's heart skipped a beat and Harley's face darkened as well. He could not bring himself to say those words in front o
Eudora made her way upstairs to the study, standing in front of the door with her daughter in her arms. Both of them stared at the closed door before them. The pair exchanged looks for a long time. Eudora breathed a heavy sigh and finally reached out to open the door. It was dead quiet in the room. All the curtains were drawn and it was very dark. Eudora looked around and finally found Amos sitting on a chair in the corner. He was lying there with his eyes closed but she could clearly feel the hostility that was emanating from him. It was the first time that Eudora had felt this way ever since she met Amos. She subconsciously held Juju tighter but she could not seem to move forward. Suddenly, Juju struggled in her embrace. Eudora was afraid that Juju would fall, so she quickly put Juju down. Immediately, Juju disregarded Eudora's orders and walked over to Amos. Eudora followed her hurriedly, walked past her, and nudged Amos' shoulders before Ju
That day, Auntie Valerie brought her little grandson with him. He was way older than Juju but the two children had a great time playing together. They did not speak to each other but it was an inexplicably harmonious sight to watch. Eudora was very relieved and she went back to the office with Amos after lunch. However, Eudora started yawning as soon as she left as she had a late night the day before. Amos then patted his lap, "Rest for a bit. I'll wake you up when we reach the alley." Eudora still needed to go to the construction site in the afternoon, so she did not refuse. She took a cushion next to her and made it into a make-shift pillow. Before she fell asleep, she saw a patrol car driving past them. She took a glance at the vehicle and seemingly saw Wendy in the car. "That is..." "The investigation on Wendy's case is over and I think they're probably starting the court case. They must be changing the venue of her lock-up!" Eudora n
Wendy did not move. She saw the car that was going to catch up to them from the rear-view mirror. All of a sudden, a hint of viciousness crept into her heart as she saw the car approaching her. She was done with this life of hers. Even if she did manage to escape, wouldn't it be the same as the old days she once had with Caleb? She had enough of her miserable life! How could she give up without a fight? As she thought of this, Wendy disregarded Caleb's instructions and quickly took over the steering wheel. She then turned around to hit the white car behind her. Caleb did not expect this to happen. He shouted hurriedly, "Wendy!" At the same time, Eudora was a little relieved when she saw the police slowly closing in on them from the front. She realized that they were waiting for Caleb to take the bait. However, she suddenly noticed the huge vehicle in front of her had gone out of control and was swerving in her direction. She could see it clearl
