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
"Call the doctor here right now!" Harley rushed to support Amos, who was shaking his head. "Go and get your blood drawn. Don't worry about me." "You're hurt. Do you think I'm going to leave you like this?" Harley retorted. However, Amos was right. Eudora was in danger too. Fortunately, Clint arrived just in time and Harley quickly passed Amos to him before going into the operating room with the nurse. ....... Eudora had a dream. It was still the same dark basement, but this time, everything seemed clearer. It was not as hazy as it used to be. In fact, she could see each item and each face in the basement clearly. The little faces which were filled with fear and stained with tears, as well as the terrible woman with a mask. And, Fae... Even Wendy . Eudora looked at them one by one and walked down the stairs into the abyss. Suddenly, a spotlight appeared in front of her. A bloodied teenage boy was tied to the spot and the masked
Eudora George. A woman from Rosaville City... One by one, all the criteria in the boxes were ticked. Was it really Eudora? Was she also in that basement years ago? Harley suddenly remembered what Eudora had asked him in the car that day. Did she really know? However, if that was the case, why didn't Eudora recognize Wendy and Amos? Harley frowned and continued to search for more information. However, he seemed to have hit a dead end. There were some records of the other witnesses after they were rescued from the basement. However, there weren't any of Eudora's record once she was rescued. Harley stared at the information for a while. An idea suddenly hit him. However, the idea disappeared as soon as it came. After that, he skipped Eudora's number and started calling the other witnesses. ...... Amos woke up the next day but he was still weak. He immediately asked about Eudora. Harley promised him, saying, "Don't wor
Auntie Valerie had forgotten that Juju was still in the room and had heard everything that she said. After Aunt Valerie was done explaining, Juju cried louder than ever. In fact, Juju was petrified when she heard that Amos stabbed himself with a knife. After all, children were very afraid of knives! "It's okay. He's much better now!" Auntie Valerie tried to calm Juju down but Juju was unwilling to listen to her. Not only Juju, even Eudora trembled when she heard what Auntie Valerie said. "Auntie Valerie, please take us to him. Juju won't feel at ease if she doesn't see him!" She was feeling uneasy as well. Auntie Valerie was hesitant. "Should I ask for Mr. Granger's permission first?" She was very worried about infuriating Mr. Granger! Auntie Valerie was always very considerate and Eudora did not want to make things difficult for her, so Eudora nodded. After that, Auntie Valerie quickly rushed to Amos' ward. His ward was not far from Eud
