My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 54

After saying that, the woman held the two children in her arms and walked to the edge of the rooftop.

Eudora George's legs went weak when she thought of the height of this building. It was more than ten

floors!

The two children were still young. They looked as if they would fall from the building when the strong

wind blew on them.

Eudora's heart quivered. She said, "Sister, please don't act rashly. The children are innocent!"

The woman had gone crazy. She didn't care about whether the children were innocent or not. She just

stood there with two children in her arms and said, "People like you don’t understand my situation! I

must bring my children along and leave this world together with me because they're innocent. They're

still so young, without their father, they’ll suffer in the future. I don’t want them to be hopeless like me!"

The woman's words hit hard on everyone’ s conscience.

"No!" Eudora was anxious. "I understand your feelings! But, it’s not easy for the children to come into

this world. You have no right to end their life."

Christopher Gellert, who was standing behind Eudora, was extremely nervous too. He nodded his head

and said, "Yes, she’s right. It's not the end of the road yet. Also, we didn’t say that we would abandon

you."

"How are you going to compensate me? Don't you try to fool me. I've already asked around and

discovered that the manufacturer who had run away is responsible for this. Your company only bears a

small responsibility in this incident. Losing a life on a construction site might mean nothing to you. But,

for people like us, it is the end of the world!"

Christopher frowned and said, "We are also as vulnerable as you are when things like this happen. I

believe we can come up with a solution as long as we are still alive..."

"Vulnerable? Are you vulnerable?"

What Christopher had said seemed to trigger her. She suddenly went berserk.

Eudora wanted to approach her to take the two children away. Unfortunately, the woman realised what

Eudora was going to do. She grabbed Eudora’s arm and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Eudora was at the edge of the rooftop. She shivered with fear but tried to calm herself down.

"Please hand over the children to me," Eudora said.

"No way!" the woman screamed and grabbed Eudora by the neck. She continued, 'TII bring you along

with me since you’ re part of the company. This could compensate for my husband’s life!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she summoned all her strength and pushed Eudora down.

Christopher attempted to rush over but another person dashed over at lightning speed and grabbed

Eudora’s arm seconds before she fell.

Eudora thought that she was really going to die. However, when she looked up, she saw Amos

appeared out of nowhere.

"Amos!"

"Don’t talk. Hold on tight to my hands," Amos said.

The woman was scared when she saw someone was really going to fall off the building. The policemen

seized this opportunity to pull the woman and the two children back to safety.

The other policemen also quickly helped Amos to pull Eudora up. As soon as she reached the ground

on the rooftop, she threw herself into Amos’ arms.

This had really scared the living daylights out of her!

Amos let her hug him for a while. Then, he said to Christopher, "I'll take her back!"

Christopher felt very guilty. He didn't manage to protect his own staff. He nodded and said, "Sure, have

a good rest for a few days."

Before Eudora left, she saw the woman wailing while holding her two children.

Eudora was really not in a good mood when she went back. She was still traumatised by the incident.

Amos didn’t take her back to Granger Mansion. He sent her back to Clearwater Bay instead.

Amos carried Eudora when they got out of the car but Eudora was not responsive.

She only came back to her senses when Amos carried her into the bathroom. She asked, "What are

you doing?"

"Take a bath!" Amos said.

"I'll do it myself," Eudora said. Amos chuckled and said, "This is not the first time. Let me help you!"

Eudora decided to let him do what he wanted.

Amos released water into the bathtub and added some essential oil into it. The smell was very

soothing. Then, he carried her into the bathtub.

Neither of them spoke. They leaned against each other quietly in the most comfortable position.

The temperature of the water gradually dropped. Then, Amos got up and carried Eudora out of the

bathtub. He wiped her body and carried her to the bathroom.

The teeth mark on her arm had not recovered yet. However, there were a few more scratches now.

While Amos was applying medicine on her wounds carefully, he suddenly noticed a small scar on her

arm.

The scar was not very deep. Perhaps that was why Amos didn't notice it before this. It so happened

that the teeth mark was on the same spot as the scar. It became visible when the swelling subsided.

Amos touched the scar gently and asked, "What caused this?"

Eudora was half- asleep. She simply answered Amos, “Oh, it’s caused by an accident."

"What accident?" Amos frowned.

"Just an accident, it happened a long time ago..." Eudora said. As she spoke, her voice gradually faded

away, and she eventually fell asleep.

Amos smiled helplessly and thought, "What a silly girl."

Amos’ phone rang. Harley Louis said anxiously, "Amos, if I remember correctly, Eudora is working in

Everpeace, right? I just heard from colleagues that something big happened at the hospital again this

afternoon."

"I know..." Amos replied.

"Oh, you know about it! That's good. Is she okay?" Harley continued to ask.

Before he could finish speaking, Eudora suddenly shouted in her sleep, "Don’t!"

Amos frowned and Harley held his breath. After a long while, he burst into laughter, "It seems that she’

s alright! I'm just worried about her. I'll hang up the phone then. I won't disturb you! Oh, by the way,

Sister-in-law is so skinny. Please try to be gentler to her!”

Amos was at loss of words.

After putting down the phone, Amos walked over slowly and lay on the bed. He had never seen her this

frightened before. Why was she so scared this time?

Eudora seemed to realise that Amos was lying beside her. She leaned over, found a comfortable

position in his arms and fell into a deep sleep.

Amos was in an inexplicably good mood when he saw Eudora leaning towards him instinctively.

Eudora slept for the whole afternoon. By the time she woke up, it was already dark outside.

Amos was lying beside her, reading a book. It was very quiet in the room. Only the ticking sound of the

wall clock could be heard. For some reason, she felt more at ease. She was no longer in fear.

"You’re awake?" Amos asked.

"Yes!" Eudora nodded her head in reply. As she was getting up, she spotted a wound on Amos’ arm.

She was stunned. "Are you injured too?"

How could Amos not be injured in such a critical situation? Eudora had neglected him because she

was so traumatized just now.

"Let me get the first aid box now..." Eudora said. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"It’s okay. I've already cleaned the wound myself," Amos said.

"That's not enough!" Eudora protested.

Aunt Valerie suddenly shouted outside the door when they were talking, "Young Master, the Old Master

is here."
