My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 518

It was another chilly autumn night as Amos held Eudora in his arms, feeling the joy of regaining what he had once lost.

"This is amazing, Eudora. Once we are discharged from the hospital, I must take you up to the mountain to redeem our vows to God."

"What?" Eudora sounded a little surprised. "Since when did you believe in these kinds of things?"

"It was when you fell sick." Amos said seriously, "At that time, I prayed to God that as long as you could get better and our family could still be as one, I would go up the mountain to worship God, and redeem my vows devoutly."

Eudora looked at the man's serious expression and couldn't help but mutter, "Silly man."

However, as soon as the words came out of her mouth, Eudora started to tear up.

They both were trying their best to keep each other safe. In fact, when Amos was in a coma, she even had the same silly idea of going up the mountain to pray.

Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Alright! Once you've fully recovered, let's bring Juju and Sugar Bun along and we shall pray together." "Alright!" Amos nodded.

The next day, Eudora felt as though she was surrounded by a warm gaze before she woke up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she met Amos' affectionate gaze.

"Good morning."

Amos greeted.

If it weren't for this accident, he would have never known how much of a blessing it was to be able to greet his beloved woman every morning.

Especially when his little woman, who was still in a daze, looked like a lost kitten. Amos' heart softened as he reached out to tidy her slightly messy long hair.

A second later, a kiss was planted on her forehead. While Eudora was still in a daze, the kiss quickly moved from her forehead to her lips.

Eudora quickly reached out her hand to his chest as she stopped him and said vaguely, "Hey...what are you trying to do? We're still in the hospital."

Amos ignored her and tugged on her lips mischievously for a moment before finally letting her go.

"It's a wake-up kiss. Are you awake now?"

Eudora was flustered.

How could she not be awake when he was being so brazen? If the nurses of the hospital had walked into their intimate moment, wouldn't they assume that she was in such great desire for affection till she had to seduce her man in the ward?

Eudora immediately got out of the bed when she saw that Amos was about to come at her again. However, he still managed to drag her back to bed.

A moment later, the door was pushed open from the outside. Clint was stunned for a moment before turning around hurriedly.

"Sorry, I didn't see anything."

Eudora's cheeks turned red, and she rolled her eyes at Amos. "Ahem! You guys should talk, I'll make a move first."

After that, she covered her blushing face and ran away. It was all Amos' fault. It was so embarrassing.

When Eudora left, Amos' face turned solemn. "What's wrong?"

Clint finally came to his senses. "Oh, President Granger, I've come to inform you that we've just received news that there's an issue with our project." Amos frowned slightly. "What's wrong?"

"Do you remember how Andrew Hamilton had secretly prepared a lot of scrap steel for our project? We've already confirmed with the person in charge that those scraps are no longer in use. However, something seems to have happened to him recently, and he hadn't been going to the construction site recently. Apparently, the workers on site ended up using the scrap steel and one of the scaffolds collapsed, which resulted in one death and one injury. The police have contacted me and requested your assistance in the investigation."

Before he finished, the police had already entered the ward.

"Are you Amos Granger? We've just asked the doctor in charge, and he said that your condition is getting better and you may leave the hospital for the time being. Now that you're involved in an accident that had taken place at the construction site, could you please head back with us to assist in the investigation?"

Clint was filled with guilt. Amos had already been injured because of family matters, and he should've watched all the projects carefully. However, he'd been negligent.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Granger."

"It's not your fault. There should've been a project leader on site. Go and find out what happened."

"Yes, Mr. Granger!" Clint nodded. "But you..."

"I'm fine. Help me take care of Eudora."

Eudora had returned to her ward to wash up and she was about to go back to Amos' ward. Unexpectedly, as soon as she left, she saw Amos being taken away by someone. She hurried up to him. "Amos! What the hell is going on?"

Amos had already changed his clothes. When he heard her voice, he mouthed something to the policeman next to him, who then decided to spare him two minutes.

Eudora rushed over and pinched his arm tightly.

"Where are you going? Didn't you promise me that you will accompany me to West Mountain in a few days? You can't lie to me!"

Amos reached out and rubbed her cheek gently, "Don't worry, I'm just helping out with an investigation. Clint will fill you in on what's going on. Don't worry about me and take good care of yourself. I'll be back soon. Be good..."

Eudora was still worried, but she didn't want Amos to worry about her, so she forced a nod.

After watching Amos leave, Eudora immediately rushed over and asked Clint. "What happened?" Clint was at a loss for words.

Mrs. Granger, who was so tender and soft in front of Amos earlier, had become so domineering in a second!

Clint's heart throbbed violently. He immediately became serious and told Eudora about the project.

Eudora and Amos shared the same view. "Go and question the project leader immediately." Meanwhile, in Valiant East.

Bethany, the chairman of the board of directors, was looking at the report in her hand with a long face. Andrew, who was standing in front of her, was about to speak when Bethany threw the report directly at him.

"What have you done?! Didn't I already remind you? You must be careful. How did you end up sacrificing an innocent life?"

On the other hand, Andrew did not seem to care.

"Aunt Bethany, what are you so worried about? The police have already gone to Amos! He is in charge of this project anyway. What does it have to do with us?" "How dare you say that!" Bethany threw another pen in his direction.

"I told you to go against Amos, not ruin the reputation of Valiant East. Now that there's an issue with our project which resulted in the death of an innocent man, have you ever thought about how huge of an impact this would bring to the company?"

What she wanted was to prove herself, not to use the reputation of the Valiant East Group as an intermedium!

Andrew snorted angrily. "Aunt Bethany, it's not a big deal. Haven't you heard that danger could never be overcome without taking risks? When Amos finally decides to step down, we will compensate the victim's family with a higher pension amount. Besides, I didn't mean to do sacrifice an innocent life. I just wanted something to happen to them at that moment. I didn't expect that it would end up being so serious."

"The audacity of you to say something like that!" Bethany was livid with rage. "I'll make sure to teach you a lesson if you make another mistake like this."

Andrew lowered his neck and said, "Aunt Bethany, what do you think we should do then? Don't tell me that you want me to turn myself in now? Amos was already detained by the police. Our plan is about to succeed soon!"

Even though Bethany was angry, her mind wasn't muddled yet.

Now that things had come to this stage, she could only turn a blind eye to her plan.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Andrew again. "You should keep a close eye on this matter at once. Don't you dare to come back here if you make any mistakes again!"

"Yes, Aunt Bethany. Don't you worry!"
