My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 472

When Eudora woke up the next morning, she felt her belly being carefully embraced in someone's arms before she could even open her eyes.

She opened her eyes instantly and saw that Amos was sleeping soundly beside her.

Eudora was stunned. Didn't he say he couldn't sleep with her last night because the bed was too small?

"Good morning!" Amos opened his eyes and greeted.

Seeing that Eudora was confused, he proceeded to explain, "I asked the nurse to change to a bigger bed last night." Eudora scanned the bed carefully. It really seemed that the bed had been changed to a bigger one...

At this moment, a nurse came by and said politely, "Miss George, please allow me to take your body temperature reading."

Amos went to the washroom to wash up. After he left, the nurse looked at Eudora enviously and praised, "Miss George, you're so blessed. I've never stumbled upon a family member who requested a change of a bigger bed in the VIP ward!"

Eudora was speechless.

She was flustered and embarrassed.

The nurse then whispered, "Oh no, why hasn't your fever subsided yet?"

Eudora was stunned and she asked, "Is everything okay?"

She didn't feel much of a difference. She almost felt the same as the day before, a little light-headed and feverish.

"It's fine..." The nurse shook her head and responded in a hurry, "Just have some rest."

The nurse then left the room with the equipment in her hands.

Not long after, Doctor Chilton and Doctor Leon all came in and examined Eudora thoroughly.

A bad feeling brewed within her.

"Is there something wrong with me?"

Doctor Chilton looked very calm and he answered, "Everything's fine. It's just a checkup for us to prescribe a better medicine for you. By the way, did you often get sick when you were a child?" Eudora didn't deny it and answered him without hesitation.

"Yes, I heard from my father that I had poor health when I was a child. I often caught colds and had fevers. I was basically a frequent visitor to hospitals!"

Doctor Chilton frowned but he immediately replied with a smile.

"I see. Don't worry. Just have some rest. Well make a move for now."

Amos looked at Doctor Chilton's retreating back doubtfully and went on to follow him out.

"What's exactly going on?"

Eudora was more important than his own life. It was impossible for him not to suspect something when even Eudora had noticed it herself.

Doctor Chilton's expression turned pale. He explained, "Mrs. Granger's case of poisoning is really rare. We had initially diagnosed that she was only affected by mild poisoning. The fever should've been gone by this morning upon taking the antidote. However, the nurse realized that her fever had persisted. Mrs. Granger also said that she often had colds when she was a child. I now suspect that her body has been damaged due to the frequent use of medicine from the past. With the current poisoning situation, it might get out of control..."

Amos trembled and he asked worriedly, "What do you mean by out of control?"

"That is..." Doctor Chilton, who had always been an experienced doctor, couldn't help but feel anxious at this time.

"The toxin may have already invaded her internal organs."

Amos stumbled upon hearing this news. He clenched his teeth and looked at Doctor Chilton.

"You're kidding me, right?"

"Mr. Granger, I'm not kidding. However, this is only my preliminary diagnosis. I'll go back and test it on a new medicine," Doctor Chilton responded. Doctor Leon, who was beside him, also said, "Amos, I understand how you feel right now. We never wanted this situation to escalate this way either."

After a short pause, Doctor Chilton continued to speak again.

"President Granger, I have another question for you. If, I mean if, if we couldn't treat Mrs. Granger, about the baby..."

Amos had already yelled even before Doctor Chilton could finish his words.

"What about the baby? I want Eudora. It doesn't matter what you do, I only want her!"

Doctor Chilton nodded and responded, "Okay, I understand!" "Wait a minute, what about the baby? What's the probability of success if we don't keep the baby?"

Doctor Chilton took a deep breath and answered, "I would naturally have more confidence in the treatment then. The success rate would be about fifty percent, double our estimated success rate at the moment."

"Your confidence will only be boosted to fifty percent?" Amos asked. He thought, "Doesn't that mean that she currently only has a success rate of twenty-five percent?"

"Mr. Granger, I..."

"Terminate the pregnancy now!" Amos demanded. "Prepare for the operation first, I'll think of a way to deal with this!"

Doctor Chilton nodded and replied, "Right away!"

"Also..." Amos added, "Don't let her know about this!"

As soon as Doctor Chilton left, Amos stood at the same place and took out a cigarette. When he was about to light it, he realized that his hand was trembling.

He tried to light the cigarette several times but failed to do so. In the end, he threw the lighter away out of frustration.

The other patient's relative next to him was a little annoyed and muttered, "Could you have some manners? How could you throw things simply in the hospital..."

As soon as the voice fell, the relative could feel Amos' ice-cold glare. The man was so intimidated that he instantly fell silent. The next second, the tender voice of a lady could be heard.

"I'm sorry! My husband has a bad temper. Are you alright?"

Seeing an opportunity to end the tension, the man quickly dismissed himself and left the scene.

Eudora was bored from laying in bed the whole time. Since Amos had not returned to the ward, she thought of going for a walk. However, she unexpectedly saw Amos giving that man a death glare as soon as she walked out of her room.

She reached out to hold Amos' arm and pouted.

"I'm sorry, I know you're in a bad mood because of me, but you can't just go around treating people like that! In this case, everything's alright as the other party dared not do anything. But what if you grow old one day and I can't be there for you anymore? With your bad temper, what if you get bullied by others?"

His precious woman muttered in a low voice.

Her words made Amos' heart skip a beat. The next second, he had already hugged her tightly in his strong embrace.

He tightened his arms further as though he was going to lose her anytime.

"No, you can't!"

His voice was a little hoarse and it was trembling slightly. Eudora felt that he was being a little odd. She wanted to look at him but he didn't allow her. "What do you mean?"

"You can't leave me! I want you to be with me forever and ever."

Eudora couldn't help but laugh helplessly, "Aren't you being unreasonable? What if I'm the first to die? Are you not going to let me go?"

"Don't speak of such despicable things. We will all live for a long time. Didn't you promise me that we'll grow old together?"

Eudora acted dumb on purpose and rebutted, "Really? When did I promise you that?"

Amos became anxious, "We took a vow when we registered for our marriage!"

Eudora suddenly remembered that moment. It seemed that she had completely forgotten about it!

"Alright, I'll promise you. But you have to promise me that you mustn't act so impulsively in the future! What if you scare our Sugar Bun?"

Amos nodded and replied, "Alright! I'll listen to you. I'll listen to whatever you say in the future!"

He would do everything that she wanted as long as she stayed fine and healthy!

Doctor Chilton and the others managed to change the medicine in the afternoon.

After adjusting the dosage of the medicine, Eudora, who was previously a little energetic, started to feel drowsy.

She ended up sleeping throughout the entire day. At some point, she couldn't open her eyes even if she wanted to wake up.
