A teenage boy who was seriously wounded was tied to an iron pillar in the middle of a pitch-black room with a chain. A woman with a ferocious smile slowly took off his clothes, as if the boy was a specimen, waiting to be cut open on the chopping board. No one could see her face as she wore a mask. The boy's eyes were filled with hatred. He knew that he must escape from this place as soon as possible. A petite yet courageous girl came out of the darkness and pushed the masked woman away forcefully. The masked woman was burning with anger. She took a belt and whipped her. The girl's cries echoed in the basement. The woman got tired and left. The girl was barely recognizable as blood covered her face. The boy looked at the girl anxiously, worried that she might die. She was lying lifelessly on the ground. All of a sudden, the girl's finger flickered as she looked up and smiled at him. Her smile gave the boy strength. He felt that everything
The salesperson asked, "Do you guys still want the ring?" "Of course!" Eudora chose a ring that looked simpler and more low-key. She was going to wear it for the rest of her life. She didn't want it to be too fancy. The salesperson took the ring out from the display case. Eudora tried to put it on but unexpectedly the ring slipped off from her finger. Eudora's heart skipped a beat. She felt that something bad was going to happen. The joy that filled her heart disappeared in the blink of an eye. She mumbled, "Let's forget about it." "Miss, we can still size the ring for you. We can also ask our designer to modify it according to your preference. If you are in a hurry, we will contact the designer immediately. We will get it done by noon tomorrow..." "We will come at tomorrow noon!" Amos made the final decision. After paying the deposit, he left with Eudora. On the way back, Eudora felt inexplicably disappointed. "What's wrong?"
Amos' phone was switched off. "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable." "What's wrong?" Eudora muttered. Aunt Valerie quickly added, "Sir's phone must have run out of battery. He should be back soon. Don't worry, let's wait for a while." "Okay!" Eudora nodded. She took the cake out from the fridge and put it on the table. The two of them sat down and chatted aimlessly. Cola ran over and jumped on Eudora's legs. It carefully adjusted its head to get the most comfortable spot. As time went by, Eudora became more and more anxious. She even forgot to answer Aunt Valerie when she asked her a question. She stood up out of a sudden and screamed, "Do you think something could've happened to him?" Startled, Aunt Valerie answered, "I don't think so. He has so many bodyguards to protect him. That's not possible." "That's true," Eudora whispered. However, she could not erase this possibility out of her mind.
The next day, Aunt Valerie saw Eudora sleeping on the sofa when she came. She didn't change her clothes. But, both the table and the kitchen had been cleaned up. Aunt Valerie quickly woke Eudora up. "Miss, are you okay?" Eudora shook her head and looked at the bright sunlight that shone through the windows. She asked, "Has he come back?" Aunt Valerie replied, "I'm afraid that it's gonna take a few days if Sir really went to America." That's right. She got up in a hurry and answered, "I'm going to work now." Her head was spinning as soon as she stood up. Eudora almost fell and Aunt Valerie quickly grabbed her. "You'd better take a day off. You don't look very well." "I'm fine!" Eudora answered. In the company, Christopher brought a pile of documents to Eudora. He exclaimed, "I've seen your designs. They're really well done. Let's start with this draft!" "Sure!" Eudora nodded and got up. "Then I have to go and
"Amos?" Christopher saw his name on the phone. "Where's Eudora? Why did you pick up her call?" Amos questioned. "President Granger, please mind your language! Eudora is having a fever and she almost fell from a building. She has been in the hospital for the whole day. Why aren't you here yet?" Fortunately, he showed up in time and grabbed her arm. Otherwise, she would have ended up like that man. "What did you say?" Amos' heart missed a beat. "How's she now?" "She's not dead yet!" Christopher screamed. ...... Eudora came back from outside and saw Christopher talking on her phone. "Who called?" She asked. "Amos Granger!" He yelled and passed the phone back to Eudora. "Hello!" Eudora took the phone and cleared her throat before she answered, "Hi Amos. Christopher was just exaggerating. I just have a cold. I'm feeling much better now. I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow." "I'm sorry that I missed your birthday."
Eudora could not stand the boredom as she couldn't do anything in the hospital. She finally convinced Aunt Valerie to let her leave the hospital. Aunt Valerie had prepared a lot of good food, but they couldn't finish them at all. In the evening, Eudora was lying in bed but she couldn't fall asleep. She had never felt this bed was too big for herself. She took out her cell phone and looked at Amos' number before she turned her phone off again. She thought to herself that he might be busy and she should not disturb him. Eudora forced herself to fall asleep by closing her eyes tightly as she still had to work on the next day. Someone hugged her from behind when she was in a daze. His scent made Eudora's heart skip a beat. She froze. His chin rested on her shoulder. She could feel the stubble on his cheek. For some reason, her heart ached for him. She turned around and held his face. She whispered, "What's wrong?" He didn't
Aunt Valerie paused for a while and shook her head. "Did Sir come back home after he returned from America?" Eudora's jaw dropped unconsciously. "Oh." Aunt Valerie didn't know that Amos was already back. Suddenly, she heard footsteps from her back. She turned around and quickly shouted at Eudora with joy, "Miss, Sir is back." Eudora didn't move from her spot at all. Aunt Valerie came and pulled her up. "Sir, you're back!" Aunt Valerie greeted him with a smile. Amos walked towards Eudora with a smile. "Do you miss me?" He asked softly. Eudora didn't answer him. She couldn't get rid of the image of him and the woman in the garden. Amos frowned slightly. "What's wrong?" "Eudora must be elated to see you!" Aunt Valerie answered with a smile. Eudora lowered her head after she heard this. Amos could see her collarbones from where he stood. He couldn't help but frown when he thought of her shapely figure when he hel
No wonder she had such a big reaction last night. She must have seen Wendy. Amos suddenly felt a little scared. If he hadn't told the truth to Eudora last night, would he have lost her for good? Amos thought of this and felt a burst of anger in his heart. "I said that I will handle my personal affairs. You have no rights to interfere with my life." "So what? I'm your father. How could this be a personal matter?" The Old Master roared. Amos sneered, "Did you say that you are my father? When I was alone in the States, when I was tortured, where were you? When my mother was almost dead, where were you?" The Old Master's face turned white. "I didn't manage to perform my duty as a father in the past. But in the future, I hope I can..." "It's too late!" Amos snorted and went straight out. ...... Eudora had just finished her work and was about to go and have lunch with her colleagues. She stopped at the door when she saw Amos' car. T
