My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 501
Amos stayed in the hospital for three more days before he was finally discharged.
For one, he already was feeling much better, and secondly, Eudora's condition was worsening each day in the hospital.
Amos was worried that she was exhausting herself too much by taking care of him.
So, in the end, he decided to go home.
He recalled the suggestion that Doctor Chilton had given to him the other day. Doctor Chilton said that perhaps keeping Eudora happy would be better for her condition.
It was quite obvious that Eudora wasn't happy staying in the hospital. In fact, she looked exhausted over the past few days. It was obvious she was busy worrying that Amos would be worried about her own health.
Thus, Eudora was reluctant to go to sleep on the first night after they returned home.
Amos had gone to the study room because he still had some work to deal with.
When he came out of the study, he realized that Eudora was still in the living room.
Amos frowned and walked over.
"What's wrong? Are you not going to sleep?"
Eudora leaned on his shoulder, "Amos, my belly is very big now. I don't think that it's very convenient for the two of us to sleep together on the same bed. What do you think?"
Amos' heart sank. His first thought was that her condition was getting worse and worse.
However, when the words were about to come out of his mouth, he asked instead, "Are you not feeling well?"
"No, it's not that!" Eudora shook her head instantly. She didn't even hesitate when she was lying to him now. What a little liar.
A little liar whom he didn't know whether he should love her or hate her.
Amos lowered his eyes. "What do you suggest then? I could ask Charlie to arrange for a bigger bed..."
"No!" Eudora waved her hand hurriedly. "No, I mean, no matter how big the bed it is, it's still too inconvenient. Why don't I sleep in the room next to yours?"
Amos frowned, "Do you want to stay separately now?"
"Not exactly. We're still living under the same roof, aren't we? I just think that it's not exactly convenient now. Plus, just for the sake of the baby, we'd better sleep separately for a while. Is that okay..." She deliberately softened her voice as her words trailed off. She knew that he could not reject her request with that cute tone!
Amos accepted his fate and nodded, "Fine!"
"Thank you, hubby!" She kissed him on the cheek happily, then got up and ran next door with her things.
The house was cleaned up every day, so the room was fit to move in at any time.
After the door was closed, Amos saw at a glance that Eudora did not bring the book that she used to read every day. He picked it up and thought of bringing it to her room.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard coughing from the other side.
The cough was very loud, and it was heartbreaking.
Amos felt as though his heart had jumped out of his chest. Was this the reason why she wanted to sleep separately?
Her health was getting worse and worse!
Amos frowned and looked at the book in his hand. In the end, he did not go in.
He stood outside the door until it was quiet in the room before finally opening the door in front of him.
There were some bloodstains on his palms as a result of clenching his fists too tightly.
Whenever Eudora coughed, his fists could not help but clench a little tighter, until the skin was torn and bleeding.
The room was dark, and Amos did not intend to turn on the light.
With the moonlight illuminating behind the curtain, he slowly walked to the bedside and stood still. The little woman had fallen asleep, but her eyebrows were still tightly knitted. Even under such circumstances, she was still holding on to her belly firmly.
It was as though she was holding a treasure in her arms.
Amos lay down beside her and slowly took her into his arms.
Since she was pregnant and ill, she seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. They ran a few tests on her when she was asleep before, but she didn't even realize it. Therefore, he guessed that she would not be woken up by this.
Amos lay beside her, feeling her light breath and her body temperature against his. His ice-cold heart gradually calmed down.
It was yet another restless night. Amos kept looking at her until the sky began to turn bright. The moonlight in the room slowly faded away and turned into darkness.
Then came rays of the early sunlight. At this moment, Amos heard his phone vibrating.
He felt a chill in his heart as he covered Eudora with the quilt hurriedly. He then sat up.
"Yes?"
Holding the phone, he spoke and moved forward quietly.
On the other end was Harley. "We found Steven's body, but it's incomplete. The forensics identified that it might have been caused by the fall. Also, Kesha's body had been washed away. They only found one of her legs."
Amos furrowed his eyebrows and said, "Oh, got it!"
"If Eudora asks, what do I say?" Harley asked.
"No, she won't ask you!"
Whatever between her and Kesha ended when Kesha decided to jump off the cliff. Now that she was dead, what was the point of telling her these things?
He knew her very well, so he knew that she would not ask about it.
"I see!" Harley nodded and then asked, "What about Mr. George?"
Amos was shocked, "What do you mean? Does he know about whatever that had happened to Kesha?"
"Yes!" Harley nodded. "He is Kesha's father. The police are legally bound to inform him! We have relayed the necessary information to him after the incident. Why? Did he not mention it?"
The corners of Amos's mouth twitched. It turned out that Gordon had known everything.
"Did he also know that I was injured?"
"Yes, he does!" Harley nodded.
So, despite knowing all of this, he was still willing to go to the nursing home. It seemed that he didn't want to burden Eudora.
Perhaps he knew that he was wrong, so he chose not to bother her any longer. He didn't mean what he said at all, about him liking that place.
This was the first time that Amos felt some sort of respect for Gordon.
In the past, he always felt that Gordon had failed in being a father. He couldn't educate his youngest daughter properly, nor could he take good care of his eldest daughter.
Amos didn't expect that he would come to his senses once he aged.
After hanging up the phone, Amos called Clint again and asked him to keep an eye on the nursing home.
He then turned back to look at Eudora. She hadn't woken up yet, so Amos went to the kitchen downstairs.
Cindy was busy making breakfast. She was very surprised to see Amos up this early.
"President Granger, are you hungry? There are some pancakes ready. Would you like to eat them first?"
"No! Eudora doesn't eat much in the morning. Is there any pancake mix left? I'm thinking of making pancakes for her."
Cindy's jaw almost fell to the ground.
What did she just hear? Did President Granger just say that he was going to make pancakes for his wife?
