My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 481

Although Eudora had never liked Felicia, she knew that Felicia had always treated Gordon very well. Besides, it was quite a serious matter for one to have fallen down the stairs.

Eudora got up from the bed upon hearing the news.

"Let's go and visit her! I'm not very sleepy anyway!"

After all, she was no longer drowsy and lightheaded since she took Doctor Chilton's strange medicine.

Amos nodded in agreement. He went downstairs and immediately started the car.

Half an hour later, Amos and Eudora arrived at the hospital. Gordon was sitting alone at the entrance of the operating room. His hair was totally grey as he looked at the emergency room nervously. At that moment, Eudora suddenly felt that Gordon was no longer the man he once was, the person who could shelter his children from all the obstacles they faced.

He was getting old. He started to become reliant on others and crave stability in life.

That was probably the reason why he had called her in the middle of the night.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for this to happen with his previous temper.

Gordon seemed to have noticed her arrival. He got up hastily and stumbled towards her.

"Eudora, you're finally here! What should we do about Auntie Maurice?"

Eudora grabbed his hand and comforted him. "Everything is going to be fine. Amos went to call the doctor, didn't he? She'll be alright."

Gordon nodded but his hand was tightly gripped onto Eudora's hand, just like the time when her mother had just passed away. She still remembered how scared she was at that time.

Back then, Gordon didn't say anything to comfort her, but he held her hand constantly and refused to let go of it.

Ever since he began to grow old, he started behaving like a child.

The lights in the operating room went out soon after. The doctor exited the room and pulled down his mask as he walked towards them.

Gordon stood up hastily and looked at the doctor with his back hunched.

"How did it go? Is she alright?"

The doctor shook his head and replied, "I'm sorry, we've tried our best. The patient fell down the stairs and hurt her head. She suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in her brain. We're so sorry for your loss..." Gordon looked at the doctor blankly and suddenly grabbed his arm. It was as though he had gone mad.

"How could that be? Why did she fall down the stairs all of a sudden? She was still fine last night and she even cooked dinner for me. I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" Gordon yelled with immense sadness. "Mr. George..."

The doctor felt helpless. He didn't know what to say to the old man who was crying out in tears in front of him.

Eudora grabbed Gordon's hand and quickly comforted him, "Dad, Auntie Maurice will feel sad if she sees you like this!"

Amos protected Eudora silently from the side. He was truly worried that Gordon might bump into Eudora as he struggled to compose himself.

Fortunately, Gordon gradually calmed down.

The sky was still dark outside and none of them uttered a word.

A long time had passed before Gordon spoke again, "Eudora, could I discuss something with you? Will it be alright if we were to set your Auntie Maurice's grave next to mine?" Before Eudora could respond, Gordon spoke again.

"I know you might not be able to accept it. But actually, your Auntie Maurice came from a rough background. In fact, I already knew her before I got into a relationship with your mother. At that time, I had nothing and she treated me very well. But later, for many reasons, I got into a relationship with your mother and she left. Many years later, we met again. She was not married even till then. Although I felt a little guilty, I still kept a distance from her. Trust me, she's definitely not what you think she is. She was never a mistress! Since she had taken care of me for so many years, I knew that she must've wanted something from me. However, she had always been very diligent and sincere to me. Now that she had passed away, there is no need to hold a big funeral. Could we just bury her quietly next to my grave? I'm begging you!"

Eudora would definitely disagree if this was asked many years ago.

In her heart, she knew that Felicia was the main culprit who had destroyed her family.

However, after going through life and death, she had thought about many things through. Why should humans complicate things throughout their entire lifetime?

This was Gordon's decision to make. She didn't need to give much comment about it.

"It's up to you!"

Eudora replied.

Tears streamed down Gordon's cheeks as he thanked her, "Eudora, thank you."

Felicia was sent to the mortuary the next morning. Gordon was exhausted after pulling an all-night and he finally fell asleep in the morning.

Amos handed over the mortuary's matters to Clint to deal with. Meanwhile, he went home with Eudora and Gordon.

They weren't going to hold a grand funeral for Felicia as per Gordon's wishes. They decided to hold a simple funeral ceremony instead.

Therefore, Gordon tried to contact Kesha.

After all, Felicia had died all of a sudden. Kesha would surely want to return for the funeral. However, he couldn't seem to get through to her no matter how hard he tried. Gordon had no other choice but to give up for the time being.

Now that Felicia's funeral had been sorted out, she could finally rest in peace. They decided not to wait for Kesha anymore and bury Felicia in the afternoon on the next day. Clint made a trip to the hospital and brought some of Felicia's examination reports after the funeral service ended.

"This is what Mr. George had requested. He wanted to keep it as a memento."

Humans were afraid of being lonely when they get old. It was completely understandable since Felicia had accompanied him for such a long time.

Eudora took the reports and flipped through them, "She's in good health!"

She had initially thought that an old woman at Felicia's age would at least have some symptoms of high blood pressure, stroke, or other problems. That could've been the reason that she had lost her balance and fall down the stairs in the middle of the night.

However, it seemed like that wasn't the case at all!

"Is this really an accident?" Eudora frowned and asked.

Amos also began to feel a little suspicious too. However, he noticed Eudora's eye bags as a result of being busy and staying up late for the past few days. Then, he immediately took the documents away from Eudora.

"Alright, that's enough! Just leave this matter to Clint. Your task now is to close your eyes and sleep immediately."

Eudora had been awake for a long time and was no longer feeling sleepy. She shook her head quickly and rebutted, "I'll just have another look!"

However, before she could retaliate, Amos had already picked her up, placed her on his lap, and patted her back.

"Good girl, let's go to sleep."

Clint lamented in his heart, envious to see them being all lovey-dovey. He quickly turned his head away and pretended to not see anything as he stood by the side.

Eudora gradually felt drowsy and she soon fell asleep on the bed. Amos then asked,

"Have you found Kesha? Did she really disappear for the past few days?"

Clint simply shook his head.

"I was occupied with so much work that I hadn't been looking for her..."

"Since you're already done with your work, put aside all other matters for the time being and focus on looking for Kesha again. You remember what Eudora just said, right? Investigate whether Kesha has anything to do with Felicia's incident!"

Kesha had become a maniac. It would be too dangerous to let her roam around freely.

Clint opened his mouth and asked, "President Granger. What do you mean? Did Kesha really kill Felicia..."

He gasped in shock and suddenly realized that Kesha was indeed, really horrifying.
