Eudora was a little dispirited. She put on her clothes as she couldn't fit into the dress. At this moment, Juju came running into the room. She looked at the box in front of Eudora excitedly. "Mommy, is there anything yummy inside the box?" Eudora flipped through the box and saw that there were indeed a few fruit-flavored candies inside the box. She usually would not allow Juju to eat candy at home as she was worried that it would lead to dental cavities. After all, a healthy set of teeth had always been considered very important to a girl. If Juju's teeth were decayed, it would affect her appearance in the future. However, that didn't seem to be the case for today. It was a wedding candy, and there were only a few in the box, hence, she didn't say much. "Here you go, two candies!" Juju took them happily. There were a few candies left at the bottom of the box. Eudora picked them up and ate them. The candy was slightly tart, which suited
Helen found a seat in the corridor and sat down. She was almost 26 years old and she had been pursued by countless men after graduating from medical school years ago. However, no man who could ever make her fall head over heels. There was a man who caught her attention during her internship. His name was Simon and they were from the same school. They got to know each other better after being posted to the same hospital. On normal days, they would often interact with each other for work. Soon, it escalated to them having lunch together. During festivals and holidays, they would give each other gifts. When they had nothing to do, they would also go to the movies together. At that time, she thought that they were dating. Until one day, she saw Simon together with the hospital dean's daughter, Mathilda. She saw him brushing Mathilda's hair behind her ear gently and complimenting that her dress was particularly stunning that day. It was at tha
Harley was taking care of his newly-wedded wife attentively at home. They were both having an intimate moment when Amos called. When Harley heard what Amos said, he was scared out of his wits. "What did you say? Thea, are you feeling alright?" Harley asked in a panic. Thea was confused by his question, "I am totally fine!" "What about the baby then?" "The baby seems to be fine too..." Amos' heart wrenched, "Eudora was poisoned! I'll give you thirty minutes to find out who had poisoned her at your banquet!" "What the f*ck!" Harley stood up from his seat, "Which f*cker is this? How dare he harm Eudora? I'll look into it right away! Is Eudora alright?" Amos had already hung up the phone. He was annoyed. He felt an urge to pick up a cigarette and light it up. However, he stopped when he remembered that he was at a hospital. He took some time to compose himself before walking back to the ward. "I'm sorry, Doctor Leon," Amos a
It seemed that even Eudora herself had realized it. She then loosened her grip slightly. "I'm sorry, I'm just too anxious!" Amos merely shook his head and replied with a forced smile. "I'm the one to be blamed." He looked really upset. Eudora paused for a moment and said, "Why don't you come over and touch him? He just moved." Amos did not move, but Eudora took the initiative to reach out, pull his hand and place it on her belly. The next second, the little guy in her belly seemed to be responding to the touch. It kicked towards Amos' palm. "It's moving!" Eudora said with a smile on her face. Amos nodded and replied, "Ah!" He wanted to be happy, but with the thought of Eudora's imminent suffering in his mind, he really couldn't force a smile. ...... Harley rushed over later in the evening. Thea came along with him too as she was worried about Eudora. After all, they were both expectant mothers, hence she could unde
Thea caught Helen's attention and said, "Let's go!" Helen nodded and looked at Eudora enviously. Indeed, both of them only had eyes for each other. They did not seem to notice their presence in the room at all. Eudora checked on Amos and scanned her surroundings. She pondered for a while and silently sucked his fingers. Amos was stunned and he shouted, "My hands are dirty!" "I heard that saliva could act as a disinfectant. Let me disinfect it for you..." Amos squinted his eyebrows and caressed her pale cheek with his other hand. "Eudora, maybe..." As if she knew what he was going to say, Eudora immediately shook her head and replied, "Don't say it! Sugar Bun can move now. Don't say such things in front of him. He'll be sad if it hears it!" She let go of Amos' hand and lowered her head to caress her tummy. "Sugar Bun, did you hear? Mommy had accidentally bitten Daddy's fingers just now. Daddy loves us very much, so we should also lov
When Eudora woke up the next morning, she felt her belly being carefully embraced in someone's arms before she could even open her eyes. She opened her eyes instantly and saw that Amos was sleeping soundly beside her. Eudora was stunned. Didn't he say he couldn't sleep with her last night because the bed was too small? "Good morning!" Amos opened his eyes and greeted. Seeing that Eudora was confused, he proceeded to explain, "I asked the nurse to change to a bigger bed last night." Eudora scanned the bed carefully. It really seemed that the bed had been changed to a bigger one... At this moment, a nurse came by and said politely, "Miss George, please allow me to take your body temperature reading." Amos went to the washroom to wash up. After he left, the nurse looked at Eudora enviously and praised, "Miss George, you're so blessed. I've never stumbled upon a family member who requested a change of a bigger bed in the VIP ward!" Eudora was spee
On the third day, Doctor Chilton and others increased the dosage for the medicine again. At that point, Eudora started to realize that something was off. Although the doctor had already explained to her that she just needed more rest to speed up the recovery, it was impossible for Eudora to not notice anything at all. After all, it was her own body. At this moment, Amos reached out and patted the top of her head. "Are you still sleepy?" Eudora shook her head and answered, "I've slept well!" However, as soon as she finished speaking, she gave a big yawn. Thinking about what Doctor Chilton had said earlier, Amos caressed her cheek with his hand and asked, "Remember the delicious beef stew you mentioned the last time? Cindy has already brought it here. Would you like to have some?" Eudora nodded. She tried to regain her energy and replied, "Okay! I'd love to have some." As expected, Cindy entered the ward as soon as Amos had finished speaking.
Amos had already gone over to the office as Karen seemed to have some serious and urgent matters to speak to him. Karen stormed at him furiously upon his arrival. "When you were away, Mr. Hamilton came to the construction site constantly to give us unnecessary work. Do you see all those useless materials at the front? They were all brought in by him!" Amos frowned and took a deep breath. He did not see the need to come all the way here for such a trivial matter. He was so close to losing his temper. However, he recalled what Eudora said the other day. She told him not to lose his temper all the time. He had to keep his promise, hence, he gradually calmed himself down. He looked at the scraps of metal and asked, "Did he say what they were for?" "He did! He said that they're for us! But I've checked, not only would we not be able to build a house on our construction site now, but we also need to fill the swamp in the future. Besides, even if we could b
