My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 474

Amos had already gone over to the office as Karen seemed to have some serious and urgent matters to speak to him. Karen stormed at him furiously upon his arrival.

"When you were away, Mr. Hamilton came to the construction site constantly to give us unnecessary work. Do you see all those useless materials at the front? They were all brought in by him!" Amos frowned and took a deep breath.

He did not see the need to come all the way here for such a trivial matter. He was so close to losing his temper.

However, he recalled what Eudora said the other day. She told him not to lose his temper all the time.

He had to keep his promise, hence, he gradually calmed himself down. He looked at the scraps of metal and asked, "Did he say what they were for?"

"He did! He said that they're for us! But I've checked, not only would we not be able to build a house on our construction site now, but we also need to fill the swamp in the future. Besides, even if we could build a house now, we couldn't use those materials at all! They're all defective products."

"How much did they cost?" Amos asked again.

"Well, they're much cheaper than the market price, but they're completely useless. It's like spending money to buy trash! He must be up to no good." Karen was a very upright person. This was also why Andrew didn't like her in the first place.

However, Amos was very appreciative of those who spoke the truth.

"In that case, just let him be then!"

Karen panicked in an instant and asked, "But what about our funds? We'll be in trouble if we don't have enough funds in the future..."

"I know what I'm doing!" Amos then looked at his watch. It had been quite some time since he left the hospital. He had no idea how things were going in the hospital.

"I have something else to do right now. I'm leaving!"

However, Karen was persistent. She immediately stopped Amos and said, "No, President Granger. You have to let me know how are you going to deal with it. Otherwise, I can't go on like this!"

Amos frowned and looked at Clint.

Clint understood and he instantly stepped forward to stop Karen.

"President Granger is busy. If you have any doubts, I'll explain it to you."

Karen asked again, "What should we do with all these scraps of metal?"

Clint rebutted and asked her instead, "Do you think that our swamp needs filling?"

"Of course!"

Clint continued, "Exactly! If we fill the swamp with soil, there is a high chance that it would collapse. However, if we fill it with those scrap metal, it'll be much stable, won't it? Plus, it's all for a cheaper price. As long as we don't use them to build a house, everything will be fine. We could eventually mix it with concrete to stabilize it further..."

Karen's eyes instantly lit up and exclaimed, "Assistant Zuckerberg, you're so smart!"

Clint shook his head and replied, "No. This is President Granger's idea!"

Karen then happily went on to arrange for orders. Only then did Clint look at the direction in which Amos had left. He sighed to himself, "If only there was a way for President Granger to exchange his intelligence for his wife's health, he would have done it in a heartbeat."

Amos had already lost a lot of weight despite it only being a few days.

The examination report was quickly released due to the urgency of the case.

Doctor Chilton's face sank after reading the examination report.

"How is this possible? Her condition is worsening too quickly..."

Doctor Leon felt a chill down his spine and took the report over worriedly. The report had clearly shown that the toxin in Eudora's body had already spread vastly in just a short period.

If it was three days ago, there would still a fifty percent rate of success had the pregnancy been terminated then.

But now, even if her pregnancy was terminated, there was only a fifteen percent chance of survival.

Cindy witnessed this moment in fright. She froze and a strong sense of weakness fell throughout her entire body.

"Doctor, is there really no other way?"

Doctor Chilton shook his head and answered, 'Tm not sure."

It had been thirty years since he became a doctor. He had always been very confident about his competency. However, this time, he didn't know why or how he had irresponsibly blurted these words. However, he could only use these three words to express the current situation.

On the contrary, Eudora was surprisingly calm upon hearing their responses.

"You may all leave now. I'd like to have some rest by myself."

Doctor Chilton wanted to say something, but he just couldn't find the strength to say it.

"Well let you have your rest," Doctor Chilton responded instead.

"What about President Granger? How are we supposed to explain this to him..." Helen asked in a hurry.

"If Amos asks, just tell him that you couldn't perform the operation because I had woken up all of a sudden! Ask him to wait for another chance. You don't have to tell him anything else. That includes you too, Cindy," Eudora replied.

Cindy pressed her lips together and responded, "But... I don't think that President Granger would buy it!"

"Just tell him that. Whether he believes it or not, that's between me and him."

Doctor Leon nodded and said, "Okay, we'll do as you say then! But your body..."

"Give me some time. I need to think about it."

Everybody then left the room quietly.

Eudora lay down on the bed. Although she was still very sleepy, she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried!

The little baby in her belly suddenly moved again. Eudora reached out to touch her belly.

"Sugar Bun, are you saying hi to me?"

When the little baby heard her voice, he moved again, as though it was responding to her. Eudora smiled and said, "You're such a good baby."

Amos quickly rushed back to her ward. He thought that they had already completed the surgery, but as soon as he entered, he saw that Eudora was still sitting on the bed without any sign of postoperation. Eudora smiled at Amos as soon as she saw him.

"Amos, Sugar Bun is moving again. Come and touch my belly."

Amos froze in place. The thought of Eudora dying because of this child was all he could think about now.

However, Eudora was persistent. "What's wrong with you? Look at how good the baby is. I still remember when Juju used to kick my belly. It was always very painful. Sugar Bun, on the other hand, has always been gentle. He'll definitely be a very obedient and filial child in the future."

Amos remained silent. Eudora had already walked over and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind.

She pressed her belly against his back. At that moment, Amos could really feel the baby's movement in her belly through their thin clothing. It was a very surreal experience.

Both of them sat quietly for the entire afternoon.

From time to time, Eudora would lower her head and caress her belly. The glowing aura of her maternal nature was something that couldn't be ignored.

When Eudora fell asleep later that night, Amos wrapped his arms around her belly from behind.

Although he had said that he didn't like this child, it was still his own flesh and blood. It was also the first time he had devoted all his heart and actually anticipated his arrival. How could he not love it? However, compared to a small life that hadn't been fully developed yet, Eudora was a full-grown, living, and breathing adult. She was the apple of his eye, and no one else could ever compete against her. He couldn't. There was just no way he would choose anything over her.

As Amos thought about this, he unknowingly reached out and touched Eudora's belly.

The little baby in the belly gave him a kick as though it was responding to his thoughts.

Amos apologized, "I'm sorry, Sugar Bun. If there's another chance, please come back to us, and let's be a family again in the future."

Eudora fluttered her eyelashes but her eyes remained shut. A teardrop soon rolled down from the corner of her eye.
