Chapter 118 I’m Worried That I’ll Hurt You
“I have no intention to do so!”
Eudora George said resolutely.
She was chased out by Gordon George in the beginning. Now that they wanted her to come home with them, she couldn’t just go back like this, could she?
“Eudora…” Felicia Maurice wanted to continue, but she was interrupted by Eudora.
“As long as you and Kesha are by his side, he will be happy. You all are a family!”
Aunt Valerie noticed that Eudora was really angry, so she quickly pushed Felicia away.
“Madam, our Miss doesn’t want to talk to you!”
Gordon’s continuous cough from behind made Eudora furrow her brows. She was then pushed back to the ward by Aunt Valerie.
When they were out of their sight, Aunt Valerie finally asked, “Miss, were they your family?”
Eudora smiled bitterly and said, “They no longer are!”
Upon hearing that, Aunt Valerie didn’t continue to speak. Eudora wasn’t in a good mood for the rest of the afternoon, and her mind was constantly thinking about Gordon’s cough.
It sounded as if he was going to cough his lungs out.
Amos Granger noticed that Eudora was moody when he came to visit her at night. He immediately furrowed his brows.
“What’s going on?” Amos asked.
Aunt Valerie told Amos about what had happened in the afternoon, mostly on the part where they had bumped into Gordon.
Amos nodded and glanced at Eudora.
Eudora was in a daze as she stared at a leaf through the window. If it wasn’t for that tree, she wouldn’t have realized that it was already autumn.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
On that tree, there was a dried leaf which was dangling and shaking violently as the wind blew. Just as Eudora thought that it would not fall onto the ground, it did.
At that time, her heart sank.
Amos came over, hugged her from behind and asked, “What are you staring at?”
“The leaves are falling!” Eudora answered flatly.
“Well, they will grow again next year!” Amos replied.
“But they are not the same leaves that had fallen, are they?”
“This…”
Amos frowned and said, “If you’re worried about him, you can go and ask the doctor.”
“I’m not!” Eudora shook her head and quickly denied. “He deserves it!”
Listening to this, Amos reached out and ruffled her hair. “Is your stomach feeling much better?”
“Yup!” Eudora nodded. She felt so much better after drinking the peppermint tea that Aunt Valerie had prepared for her in the afternoon.
“Then shall we eat?”
Eudora was relatively silent during the meal. Amos left the room after they were done with dinner. Not too long after, a doctor came in.
Before Eudora could figure out what was going on, the doctor had already started to speak.
“Mr. George is warded in our hospital because of his heart problem. His condition is stable for the time being, so you don’t have to worry too much about it. As of his cough, it was just a cold that he had caught two days ago and he is currently under treatment for it…”
The doctor spoke very quickly and left once he was done.
It was only after the doctor had left that Eudora realized that he was talking about Gordon.
After a short while, Amos came back.
Eudora lowered her head and lay on the bed in a daze, but her mood seemed to have become better.
Amos immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Coincidentally his phone rang, so he answered the call.
It was Clint Zuckerberg. He had called to inform Amos about Thomas Shelby. According to his investigation, Thomas came from the States. He had committed several local crimes hence the relevant departments had brought him back to the States for trial.
Amos only nodded and instructed, “Get someone to keep an eye on him. Don’t let him escape again.”
“Yes!”
After hanging up the phone, he found that the little woman was looking at him with her burning eyes.
Amos curved his lips and asked, “Have you just found out that I’m actually very handsome?”
Eudora was speechless.
She had never thought that Amos would be so full of himself. She just chuckled and thanked him.
She knew that Amos must have ordered the doctor to come over.
“Don’t mention about it!”
Wendy Liam did not show up for the next few days. It was a rare silence for Eudora. Two weeks later, she was finally discharged from the hospital.
Amos terminated her lease for her apartment and moved her belongings to his villa in Clearwater Bay.
Cola was so happy to see Eudora. It wagged its tail excitedly when she petted it. However, she wasn’t very sure if it was a good idea to come back to this place.
“I’ll go to work tomorrow!” Eudora said.
It was a statement, not a question.
Amos did not refuse but he had only one request. He said, “I’ll send you to work and pick you up after work.”
“Alright!”
In the evening, Eudora lay on the big bed with a complicated feeling in her heart. When she left the last time, she thought it was a farewell. She had never expected that it would also be the start of a new life.
Amos came out of the bathroom and lowered his head to kiss her.
Eudora’s mind was even more confused.
Amos noticed that she was spacing out. Instead of feeling angry, he held her in his arms. He then took out the ring from the drawer and put it on her finger once again.
“Don’t you dare remove it again.”
Eudora closed her eyes and did not say anything at all.
After that, Amos went to bed and pulled her into his arms. “Let’s get some sleep!”
Eudora was stunned. There was a flash of surprise in her eyes.
Amos hurriedly covered her eyes and said, “Don’t look at me like that. I’m worried that I’ll hurt you!”
Eudora just kept quiet.
She closed her eyes obediently and soon fell into a deep slumber. She was used to being held by Amos. As long as she is in his arms, she could sleep safely and soundly.
Amos was already wide awake when Eudora woke up the next day.
Just as she was about to get up, Amos had already brought her clothes over and said, “I know that it must be hard for you to get changed with all your injuries, so I’ll give you a hand!”
Eudora was stunned. “I’ll do it myself.”
“Let me help!”
He sounded like he was coaxing a child but he didn’t even give her the chance to refuse or say anything at all. Eudora had no choice but to let him take off her nightdress.
Her beautiful figure was exposed in front of Amos. At that instant, he immediately regretted his decision to help Eudora change her clothes.
After waiting for a long time, she was still not dressed. So, she raised her head and looked into Amos’ bright eyes.
She was stunned, and in the next second, the man had lowered his head and kissed her.
“Uhh…” Eudora silently endured his every touch as his hands roamed across
It was not until the both of them had started to lose their breath that Amos finally let her go.
He then helped her put on her clothes, but this time, he did it very quickly. He was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to restrain himself and push her onto the bed if this were to drag on any longer.
After that, Amos drove her to work.
When they arrived at the entrance, Eudora quickly got out of the car. But before she could do so, Amos grabbed her by the hand.
“Give me a goodbye kiss.”
Eudora frowned, looked around, and pecked on his cheek swiftly.
Amos ruffled her hair with satisfaction and said before driving away, “I’ll come and pick you up later.”
It was only then did Eudora let out a sigh of relief. When she was about to turn around, she found that Christopher Gellert was looking at her quietly from behind.
Eudora’s heart sank. He must have witnessed everything that had happened just now.
Just as she was thinking about it, Christopher was already walking towards her.
“Are you really back with him again?”
Eudora pursed her lips, indirectly admitting that she had gotten back with Amos.
“Why?” Christopher was distressed. “I thought you left him because you have finally understood everything. But why are you back with him again? Do you want history to repeat itself again?”
