My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 418
Eudora looked at the two children with a smile, and then at the photo carefully.
At first glance, she could see herself in the photo and she was surrounded by many men. Her clothes, however, were torn.
Eudora's brain was buzzing, and several bad memories began to reverberate in her mind quickly.
Those creepy men and their horrible laughter appeared in her mind. She subconsciously covered her head and threw the picture away in shock.
She saw the time stamp on the photo as it landed on the ground.
It was dated three months ago. Wasn't that the time when she had just gotten pregnant?
Eudora had a bad thought in her heart. Three months ago, it happened to be Old Master's mourning period. Amos was a very filial man. They wouldn't have done it just because he was unable to hold back his desires.
Besides, Amos loved her so deeply. Hence, he would never allow others to blame her.
In that case, the child probably wasn't Amos', was it?
As soon as that thought occurred to Eudora, more horrible thoughts suddenly came into her head. Each thought echoed a clue, and she was in disbelief. Everything seemed to make sense now. Her sudden loss of memory, and the fact that Amos wanted to abort the baby.
Everything was just too coincidental.
Did Amos bear everything in silence just because he didn't want her to be sad? No... That was impossible!
Eudora stood up suddenly and ran out like a maniac.
Amos' car was heading into the porch just as she reached the gate. Since she had emerged out of nowhere, Amos almost ran into her.
Fortunately, he slammed on the brakes just in time and scrambled out of the car to help her up.
"Where are Charlie and Wesley? How could they let you come out alone? What if you get injured? Why didn't you listen to my instructions?"
His voice was as pleasant as ever, but Eudora could no longer hear the sweetness from his words. She was left with only a strong sense of bitterness. She felt sorry for herself, and even more so for Amos. How much did he endure?
She had thought of asking him about the ins and outs of the incident. However, when she saw the look on Amos' face, she suddenly lost the urge to ask. Just how much did this man struggle in silence just so he could accept all of this in peace? Yet, he still took care of her so attentively. Noticing her silence, Amos frowned, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? Were you frightened just now?"
"No..." Eudora said. She tried her best to make her voice sound a little calmer.
"It's okay, I'm fine. I'm just feeling a little tired all of a sudden. I want to go upstairs."
Amos immediately reached out to help her, "Let's go then! I'll take you upstairs."
Eudora subconsciously avoided his outstretched arm, "No, I can do it myself. Juju is still in the garden. You should go and accompany her."
After that, she walked up the stairs hastily as though she was running for her life.
Amos looked at her disappearing back and couldn't help but frown. He knew her too well. Even though she had tried her best to keep her emotions in check, Amos could still sense that something was not right with her.
Usually, she would play all sorts of tricks with him, wishing she could stay downstairs for a little longer each day. However, she was so eager to go upstairs just now.
He also noticed her odd reaction when he was about to help her. Her instinctive retreat and her flustered expression - they were slightly similar to her reaction just after the incident...
Amos' heart pounded vigorously. How could that be possible? She couldn't have known about that incident!
At this moment, Charlie and Wesley had brought over the warm water and the first aid kit which Eudora had requested. When they didn't see Eudora, both of them froze for a moment, "Where is the Madam?" Amos noticed the items in their hands and asked, "Where did the two of you go?"
"Oh! Young Master got injured in the garden. Madam has asked us to prepare these items to treat his wound."
Charlie asked hastily after observing Amos' darkened face, "Did something happen?"
Amos gritted his teeth, "What are you guys doing? Didn't I tell the two of you to take good care of her?"
Amos had never been so furious with them. He had treated them as brothers, for they had gone through thick and thin countless times. However, he really was mad this time.
Charlie immediately put down the first aid kit, "I'm sorry, Mr. Granger."
"I'm at fault too," Wesley apologized.
Amos ignored them both and went straight into the garden.
Vincent and Juju were still playing together. Amos kept his eyes on Vincent's back. After looking at them for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Bring me the surveillance footage on this location."
Ever since Eudora got pregnant, Amos had been on high alert every single day. Not only did he take good care of Eudora every day, but he also installed surveillance cameras in every corner of the courtyard.
At this location especially, it was a place where Juju and Eudora liked to go daily, and the surveillance camera was installed discreetly to avoid suspicion.
The two immediately went to check the surveillance footage.
Amos called out to Vincent and Juju, "Juju, go back inside and take a look at your Mommy. Vincent, come with me."
Vincent had been afraid of this uncle of his ever since he entered the Granger family. He was very good-looking, but he was too distant.
Vincent didn't dare to move at first, but he summoned the courage to do so when he saw Juju.
He didn't want to be labeled as a little wimp by her. It was very embarrassing.
After Amos brought Vincent inside, they went straight downstairs to the large study. Then, they both sat quietly on the sofa. None of them spoke.
The room was so silent that even the sound of a fallen needle could be heard. Vincent grew more frightened of Amos, especially when the two of them were together alone.
He didn't dare to breathe too loudly. He just stared at the ground, chill running down his back.
Someone pushed the door open after a long while. Charlie was holding an object and he placed it in front of Amos.
"Mr. Granger, I've acquired the footage."
Amos took the thing over quietly and he watched it silently with his head lowered. Although Amos did not look up, Vincent could still feel the shadow next to him. The chill in his body grew heavier.
In the next second, the shadow's arm suddenly stretched over. Vincent's body shivered, and he almost fell to the ground.
He thought that the arm was going to hit him, but it didn't. Amos just placed the object quietly in front of him and then asked him gently.
"Why did you come to my house today?"
Vincent's heart skipped a beat, "What... what do you mean?"
In truth, he had come here because he was bullied by a little girl at school for the past few days. Actually, he wasn't that afraid of the little girl. He just didn't want to fight with her.
Who knew that the little girl became even more out of line every single day, and, she even punched him when he wasn't paying attention.
Juju happened to walk past the area at that moment and saved him out from that predicament.
Later on, Juju said that he was too weak and that he was a little wimp who couldn't even fight a little girl. Therefore, she invited him over to her house.
