One Night Stand With That Beggar

“Does it hurt?” Thomas Shelby smiled ferociously. His hand was holding onto the dagger that was still plunged into Amos Granger’s flesh.

It was so painful that his sweat was dripping down his face. However, he gritted his teeth and did not utter a word at all.

He couldn’t speak, all of his strength was in his arms now. If he were to say anything, there was a high probability that he would lose his strength, which could put Eudora George in danger.

Eudora gawked at Amos. From this angle, no one could see it more clearly than she did.

She saw it with her own eyes. She saw the silver dagger piercing into Amos’ flesh. As she looked at it, she could feel it in her heart as well, as if it had been pierced too. It was so painful that she had forgotten how to breathe.

“Let go!” Eudora suddenly shouted. “I don’t need you to rescue me, I don’t need it!” When you have chosen Wendy just now, then I have nothing to do with you anymore! Even if you are stabbed to death, I will not look back.”

Amos shook his head and smiled at her.

“It’s just a minor injury. It’s nothing.”

Eudora held her breath and suddenly recalled the first time when she saw Amos, and how his body was covered in scars.

Looking proudly over the scene before him, Thomas said, “I’m so moved that I am going to cry now. However, this will end very soon!”

As soon as he finished his words, he raised his hand again and pulled the knife from Amos’ arm. The tip of the knife glinted coldly as he plunged it towards Amos’ heart.

Eudora’s eyes widened as she shouted, “Be careful!”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

In the next second, she aimed at the rope that was dangling above her head and pulled the trigger with huge effort.

The sound startled both men. Amos, whose eyes had turned red, roared, “Eudora George, you’re crazy!”

As his words rang out, the rope above her head snapped, and she plummeted. The feeling of weightlessness enveloped her, as she felt like a free bird, freefalling from the sky.

She had never been a free person. At the very beginning, her existence in this world was meant for Gordon George. Then, for the subsequent years, she had lived because of the Meyer Family. Even when she was finally able to leave the Meyer Family, she had immediately fallen into Amos’ trap, becoming a caged bird once again.

Now, she could finally live for herself!.

Seeing that Amos was nervously running towards her, Eudora’s lips curled upwards. “Amos, I don’t owe you anything anymore!”

Then, with a loud bang, she fell onto the ground. She could feel the sharp pain throughout her body and her eyes gradually blacking out, until she could no longer see anything.

“Eudora!”

Amos threw away the rope that he was holding on and ran desperately towards her. At the same time, Thomas, who was behind him, raised the dagger as he prepared to stab him again. Suddenly, there was a loud bang behind him. A bullet had exited through the back of his hand.

With a bang, the dagger fell onto the ground.

Harley Louis and the police officers rushed in and subdued him immediately.

Fortunately, Harley had noticed Amos’ strange behaviour when he left his office. So he had decided to return.

Sure enough, he found that Amos was not resting at all. He hurriedly looked through the relevant surveillance footage and finally spotted Amos, but…

Looking at the bloodstain on Amos’ shoulder, he frowned. Was he too late?

“Amos, are you okay?” Harley ran over in a hurry.

Amos ignored him and said, “Call an ambulance.”

Only then did he notice that Eudora was lying in Amos’ arms with her eyes closed. Harley did not dare to ask more. He hastily called an ambulance, and the three of them headed for the hospital.

The doctor made a preliminary diagnosis on Wendy Liam and Eudora. There was nothing wrong with Wendy, she had passed out merely out of fear. On the other hand, Eudora’s condition was rather serious. Although her fall was cushioned by the cargo boxes on the ground, Eudora still suffered multiple bone fractures.

Harley frowned and said, “How did this happen? I thought that Thomas had already found out about your weaknesses, didn’t he? You had already broken up with her, so why are her injuries more serious than Wendy’s?”

Amos lowered his head, as the scene of Eudora trying to save him played in his mind repeatedly.

She was such a delicate woman, yet whenever there was a critical moment, her stubbornness would always surprise him.

After a long time, he opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice.

“Who said that I have broken up with her?”

Harley was stunned for a moment, and then it suddenly dawned upon him.

“Are you planning to reconcile with her?”

Amos snorted. However in his mind, he wanted her to stay by his side for the rest of his life. Even if she would hate on him or scold him, he would never let her go ever again.

“But what are you going to do about Wendy?” Harley frowned. “Even if Wendy is willing to go along with it, Eudora would not accept this so easily. Otherwise you guys wouldn’t have broken up.”

Amos had also thought of this, so he immediately said.

“When her design company is open for business, I will arrange everything for her.”

Harley nodded. “If that’s the case, everything will be fine!”

However deep down, he felt like things were not as simple as it seemed. Wendy’s feelings were clearly written on her face, would she be willing to accept his arrangement?

……

While they were talking, Eudora suddenly jolted.

Amos hurriedly got up and went into the room. The woman who was lying on the bed was still unconscious. The anesthesia from the surgery had worn off, hence she started to cry out in a low voice because of the pain.

She had seven to eight fractures in the whole of her body. It must be extremely painful.

However, Amos did not expect that his heart would ached so deeply as he looked at her grimacing in pain.

Amos was so anxious that he didn’t know what to do. He could only grab on her hand.

Harley hurriedly dashed out of the room to get a doctor. As soon as the doctor came in, Amos rushed over and clutched at the doctor’s shoulders, with his eyes flashing red.

“Relieve her pain now.”

The doctor furrowed his brows and said, “I can give her an injection to relieve her pain, but it is just a temporary measure. Moreover, it might also be harmful to her health…”

“What should we do then? Can’t you hear that? She’s in pain!”

“I know! “The doctor was driven into a corner by Amos, so he had no choice but to say, “Her family members should accompany her more often, perhaps that would help her with the pain.”

“What do you mean by ‘perhaps’?” Amos looked terrifying, as if he was about to punch the doctor in the next second.

But before anything could happen, Harley immediately reached out and restrained Amos. Seeing this, the doctor immediately fled.

Looking at Amos, Harley sighed. His heart was filled with inexplicable emotions.

“Do you still remember? In the past, your injuries would always be more serious than hers, but you had never let out a peep at all.”

Amos was stunned by Harley’s words. He frowned. “What are you trying to say?”

“I am not trying to say anything. I just think that love is magnificent!” Harley glanced at Eudora and said:

“Why don’t you talk to her? I’m leaving now.”

……

A nursery rhyme rang in her ears. The children were singing along with the music.

“Lala, lala, lala, lala…”

This was the song that her mother had taught her when she was just a child. Eudora’s heart sank as she hastily looked around her. She saw that there was a woman who was walking slowly in front of her.

She could recognise that it was her mother’s figure.

Eudora sped up her pace, trying to catch up with her. But no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t.

She felt a gust of wind. Only then did she realized that she was standing on the clouds. The clouds started to rock and it could no longer withstand her weight.

The cloud rocked again and at that instant, she fell onto the ground.

Her eyes blacked out, and the singing in her ears had turned into a whimpering sound. Someone was crying.

Eudora listened to the sound intently, but she still couldn’t find the person who was crying.

Whipping sounds could be heard echoing through the air, one after another.
