My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 592
Amos didn't say a word, but Harley seemed to understand.
"Is it because of that woman? She came to check on you, didn't she? Did she tell you to take your medication without checking your condition? How could you take the medication without having anything to fill your stomach for the past few days?"
"Shut up!" Amos berated in a low voice. "Don't you have better things to do? Leave!"
Harley was exasperated in anger.
"You get unhappy whenever I talk about her! Hmph!" However, he still went to prepare food for Amos after that.
Harley's phone rang again when Amos was done with his meal. It was from the police station, so he entrusted Amos to Christopher and the others.
"I have some work matters to attend to. When are you guys going back to Rosaville City? Tell me in advance if you're leaving and I'll make the necessary arrangements!"
Christopher glanced at Tina and said, "I won't be going back for the time being!" Although Tina didn't say anything, Christopher knew that she was reluctant to leave. "Okay!"
Harley then took Thea with him. As he was transferred to Greene City to assist with the local council, the police station had arranged accommodation for him.
It was a two-bedroom apartment and it was quite spacious. It was more than enough for two people to live in.
Harley settled Thea down. "Sorry, I couldn't get a better place for us. I hope this is comfortable enough for you and our baby."
Thea shook her head and looked into Harley's gentle eyes.
"Marrying you is enough for me!"
She was speaking the truth. Back then, she was on the verge of breaking down when she found out that she had slept with someone after getting drunk. The person she fell for had always been this man, who appeared to be a playboy but was actually very loyal.
Fortunately, she could still be with him after everything that had happened.
However, she always felt that she owed him. Thea opened her mouth and said, "Hubby, do you want another one after this baby? Do you prefer a boy or a girl?"
Harley was stunned. How could he not understand what she was thinking about?
However...
"Don't worry! Let's not rush this."
Thea was stunned, and her hopeful eyes dimmed slightly.
"Don't you want to have our own children?"
"It's not that!" Harley shook his head. "Having two kids in a short period of time is not good for your health. Let's not rush into it. Why would I not want our own children? Besides, the one we're having now is ours too!"
He lowered his head and planted a kiss on Thea's forehead.
"Just stay at home. I've set the phone up for you to use if you feel unwell. Press 1 for an emergency, 2 for me, and 3 for Amos."
Thea pouted. "Why aren't you 1?"
Harley pinched her nose and explained, "Because I'm worried that I'll be on duty! I'm sorry, honey!"
Thea was actually teasing him. She knew what kind of man she had married and she was already mentally prepared that Harley would prioritize work over her.
"I'm just kidding. Go to work! I'll prepare some delicious food for you when you get back!"
Harley lowered his head and planted another kiss on Thea's forehead, then he turned around and went out.
Greene City Police Station was not far from the apartment. When Harley arrived, he started working on the cases that he was assigned to. He was mainly responsible for the big cases, as he did in Rosaville City.
He went for a meeting after that. Harley's heart jolted as the gigantic screen displayed a familiar picture.
He became upset from thereon. The captain glanced at him after the meeting was over.
"Officer Louis, you've solved a lot of similar cases in Rosaville City. You should be pretty experienced. I'm thinking of passing this case to you. It shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"
Harley nodded, "No problem, but... I want to see the evidence that you have at hand!"
"We don't have any of that," The captain answered immediately. "We wouldn't have asked for your help if he hadn't kept himself hidden so well, would we?"
"I see!"
Harley received a call from Christopher once he came out of the police station.
"Amos is getting better now. Don't worry."
Harley smiled, "Thank you! If you need to leave, just ask Clint to take care of him!"
After a pause, he suddenly said, "Could we..."
"Hmm?" Christopher asked back.
"Oh, it's nothing!"
He received a text from Thea after hanging up the phone. It was a picture of her sitting at the dining table with her big belly, smiling happily at the camera. "Made your favorite. Do come back earlier!"
Harley smiled and pushed whatever unpleasant thoughts to the back of his mind. He replied, "I'm going back right now."
It was late at night when Eudora received a call from Tina.
"Eudora, it's alright now. Don't worry!"
"What do you mean? Did something happen?" Something must have happened!
Tina remained silent.
"This is frightening. Eudora. I realized how similar you are to Mr. Granger. You two would get smarter as long as it's something about each other! Just a slip of tongue, yet you could understand what was going on."
Eudora did not have time to talk to her about this. "What happened exactly?"
Tina continued faintly, "Oh, it's not a big deal actually. Ever since he came back from the resort, President Granger hadn't eaten anything for the past few days. He took some medicine all of a sudden on an empty stomach, and he had a stomachache because of it. He's gone to sleep now that he's eaten something."
Eudora stood up abruptly. "Why didn't you send him to the hospital?"
Tina was startled. "He was not willing to go. And it wasn't that big of a problem either."
"Is he really okay?"
"Yeah!" Tina said. "He was fast asleep by the time we left. Everything's fine. Don't worry!"
Eudora pursed her lips and did not say a word. After hanging up, Eudora glanced at the two sleeping children, thinking about the conversation she had with Amos earlier in the afternoon.
At that time, she was just hoping that he would take his medication. Little did she know that he hadn't eaten for a few days!
She was a little angry, but also a little worried.
However, judging from how harsh her words were, she didn't know what would happen if she were to show up before him again this time.
If she did not go, she knew that she would not be able to sleep the whole night.
In the end, she couldn't bear it and went downstairs.
After passing through the garden, Eudora, like she did in the afternoon, took a detour before heading to Amos' villa. The door was locked, and she could not enter.
She wandered for a while at the door, and all of a sudden, the door opened with a click.
Eudora was shocked. She thought that she had been discovered. However, she heard a woman's mechanical greeting from the smart door lock.
"Good evening, Mrs. Granger! Welcome home."
Eudora was speechless.
It turned out that the smart door look had recorded her personal information.
Mrs. Granger? She hadn't heard that title for a long time! For a moment, Eudora's heart was filled with mixed feelings.
