My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 476

Amos's tone sounded as though he was teaching Juju at home. Eudora fell into a dilemma. She didn't want to tell him the truth, but on the other hand, she felt extremely bad for not letting him know. She regretted not knowing Amos earlier. If things had gone the way that Amos had told her, she wouldn't have met and married Felix in the first place. How wonderful would it be if she had been with Amos since the very beginning?

At this moment, Amos interrupted her and spoke.

"Eudora, I'm sorry. It's not that I don't want Sugar Bun. It's just that you're seriously ill. If you blame me, just say something, anything at all. Just don't leave me like how you did the last time, okay?"

Eudora was stunned. Did he already know that she was aware of his intention to terminate her pregnancy? Did he think that that was the reason she had gotten close to him when she was actually planning to leave him?

Fortunately, he was still unaware that her condition had actually worsened.

Eudora pressed her lips together and asked, "Why did you do it when you knew clearly that I would resent you? I'm really upset about that, you know?"

Amos pulled her into his arms and held her tightly, "I just don't want to lose you, Eudora..."

Eudora felt the urge to cry and she sniffled hastily.

"Sillyhead, who said that you would lose me? I'm in great health. I'm sure that I'll get better soon. When that happens, you can't dump me even if you want to. I'll be stuck with you forever! If you don't believe it, you could ask Doctor Chilton. He came in and did a check-up for me after you left. He said that my body took a turn for the better," Eudora tried to convince him.

Amos was a little skeptical and he asked, "Really?"

"Yup, of course!" Eudora answered with a smile.

Amos quickly let her down, got up, and left the room.

As soon as he left, Eudora returned to the breakfast table and ate a mouthful of the pancake.

It seemed that she had lost her sense of taste.

Even so, she couldn't forget the way he looked at her with that charming smile of his.

She took a deep breath and wiped the tears away from the corner of her eyes.

"Sugar Bun, let's fight through this together, alright?"

Amos soon returned to the ward, accompanied by Doctor Chilton and Doctor Leon. He was never one to trust others easily, especially when it came to the matter of Eudora's life and death. Therefore, he called for both Doctor Leon and Doctor Chilton. "Give her another checkup in front of my eyes!"

Doctor Chilton instantly glanced at Eudora.

Eudora nodded in agreement, signaling for him to proceed.

Fortunately, Doctor Chilton was an experienced doctor. He would never be overwhelmed over such a trivial matter. He quickly walked over upon receiving Eudora's signal. "Miss George, I'm going to start now."

Many parts of Eudora's body had already been infected at this point. Therefore, he had to be cautious when pressing on her body during the examination.

The patient would definitely feel the pain. As a man, even Doctor Chilton himself couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't cry out in pain under such circumstances. What more for Eudora who was just a very weak girl?

He really dared not imagine what would happen next. Perhaps, their plan would be exposed.

However, there was nothing more that he could do.

Doctor Chilton closed his eyes and began the examination.

Amos dared not fool around as he watched from the side. In the beginning, Eudora still managed to withstand the pain and resisted the urge to cry.

However, the test came to an end when Doctor Chilton examined the area around her kidneys. Eudora was in so much pain that she almost burst into tears as soon as Doctor Chilton had pressed on it. The pain was unbearable. It was even more painful as compared to the time she gave birth to Juju.

However, Amos was closely watching her every move. She couldn't show it at all costs. She clenched her fists under the sheets and smiled at Doctor Chilton.

"It doesn't hurt."

At that moment, even Doctor Chilton was shocked.

This woman in front of him was already very skinny because of her pregnancy. Her arm was so thin that it seemed as though it could be broken at any time. However, he was amazed at the powerful force in that frail body.

She was stronger than a man. In fact, she was stronger than a lot of men.

If she was already able to handle this, what more could she accomplish if she were a fully grown, capable man?

With this in mind, Doctor Chilton finally calmed down and concluded.

"It's a miracle. Miss George has shown signs of improvement two days ago after we increased the dosage of medicine. If that's the case, we should be able to treat her as planned. I'll go back and prepare the medicine now."

Amos looked at Doctor Leon and asked, "Really?"

Doctor Leon nodded. "It's true! Doctor Chilton is an expert in this field. If he says it's fine then there's definitely not a problem."

Amos was still suspicious even after the rest of the party left the room. It felt so surreal as though it was all just a dream.

"Eudora, are they really telling the truth?" Amos asked again.

"Of course! Don't I know my own body? I'm absolutely fine, and you should take good care of yourself too. From tomorrow onwards, you'll have to go back to work to earn money so that you could feed me, Sugar Bun, and Juju."

Amos frowned and responded, "Don't worry about that, let's just wait and observe over the next few days."

Eudora frowned lightly.

When Amos went out of the room to answer the phone, she quickly left the room and talked to Doctor Chilton.

"I want to be discharged from the hospital, but Amos said he still wants to observe me for another two days. Do you have any medicine that could mask my true condition? That way, he would let me be discharged from the hospital without any worry and doubt."

"Nope!" Doctor Chilton refused without hesitation.

"I know you have it!" Eudora argued. 'Tm not discharging from the hospital for myself. Doctor Chilton, ask yourself. If you were me, don't you want to stay with your family and friends when you know that you don't have much time left? Don't you want to be with your daughter and leave without regrets? I don't want to waste the time I have left staying in the hospital. Do you understand?"

How could Doctor Chilton not understand? In the past, when his patients reached such a stage, he would advise them to eat well, drink well, and live well for their remaining days.

However...

He looked at the patient in front of him. She was different from all the other patients. She was so strong and courageous.

He didn't want to watch her die like this. Deep down, he still wanted to try to save her even if there was only a glimpse of hope.

"Why don't you just tell President Granger the truth? Let's have one last try, shall we?"

"No!" Eudora refused instantly. "I've already mentioned it before. If you do that, you're just forcing me to die this instant! Doctor Chilton, please, please let me be discharged from the hospital. I want to make good use of my remaining days with my husband and children. Moreover, after I'm discharged, you'll also be more at ease. You don't have to deal with Amos' suspicions constantly and you'll only need to come and give me regular checkups. Perhaps, you'll be more motivated to research for a new and improved treatment plan then. My life and hopes are counting on you, Doctor Chilton."
