My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 599
She called out as her hand was emptied, "Amos..."
Suddenly, a figure rushed over from behind. Then came the sound of the drunkard screaming!
"Ah!!! Let me go! I won't ever do this again!"
Eudora's heart leapt in joy, but when she turned around, she saw Fabian flexing his fists.
After he finished beating the person up, he came over and asked, "Are you okay?"
Eudora shook her head, and the drunkard ran away while Fabian wasn't looking. She looked down and saw his hand bleeding. She asked hastily.
"Shall I take you to the hospital?"
Fabian didn't say anything, but he looked at her with joy in his eyes.
If he had known that getting injured would make her care for him a little more, he would've gotten himself injured much earlier.
Eudora didn't know what to say. She opened the door and said, "Let's go!"
Fabian was injured, so Eudora drove him to the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor said that what they thought was bleeding was actually a fractured bone in his arm. It was serious and he needed a cast.
Eudora felt extremely guilty and said, "I'm really sorry. I never expected it to be this serious."
Fabian shook his head and replied, "I feel blessed for having you to care for me. If you really feel sorry for me, you can take care of dressing my wound for me!"
Eudora pursed her lips, "But I don't know how to do it. I might hurt you!"
Fabian felt Eudora was funny for being so cautious.
In the end, he couldn't hold back. He laughed out loud, "I'm just kidding!"
Eudora heaved a sigh of relief, only to hear him say, "I don't need you to dress my wound for me. However, I heard that you cook well. Why don't you cook something for me?"
After all, he had saved her, so it would be rude if she continued to reject him. Since it was just cooking something for him, she agreed to it.
After that, Eudora wanted to send Fabian back. However, he insisted on going to the Holt Manor. Hence, she brought him there.
When Tyler saw that Fabian's arm was bandaged, he stood up hurriedly and asked, "What happened?" He shot a look at them and noticed how Eudora was following behind him quietly. "What did you do? How could you do this?"
Tyler was already mad at Eudora. Now, he was exasperated.
Eudora was about to say something. However, before she could speak, Fabian answered quickly, "No, I accidentally injured myself. Luckily, Eudora found me and sent me to the hospital!" Tyler looked at Eudora in disbelief. Eudora was about to clarify it, but Fabian grabbed her hand and gave her a wink.
She tried to break free but failed. Tyler looked at how they were interacting and felt slightly happier.
After a gentle cough, he said to Fabian, "Have a seat. How rare of you to visit me. What has your father been busy with at home these days?"
"He's just been playing chess and reading. He keeps saying that he wants to play a few games with you!"
Tyler laughed instantly, "With his lousy skills? It's funny how he still wants to play with me!"
The two of them couldn't stop chatting. Hence, Eudora found an excuse and freed her fingers from Fabian's grasp.
Then, she came up with an excuse, "I'm going to check on dinner."
Fabian nodded, "Okay! I'll wait for you."
After Eudora left, Tyler said with a smile, "Look at you and Eudora! Both of you seem to be closer now. You've finally opened up!"
Fabian smirked and replied, "You're wrong. It's not that I've opened up, but I haven't met anyone who would make me feel comfortable opening up!"
Tyler liked what he heard and burst out laughing.
"Alright, as long as you treat Eudora well, both our families will be the best in Greene City!"
"Definitely!" Fabian said, "But I still have some business affairs to talk to you today."
"What is it?" Tyler asked with a smile.
"It's about the funds. You know, I've been working on the overseas market. Recently, I'm lacking some capital..."
Tyler had already made up his mind and asked, "How much do you need?"
He had always trusted the Nolan family. Of course, it wasn't just because the Nolan family started on the same foot with him back then. After he left the organization, there was a period of time when everyone wanted to kill him and he was on the verge of losing his life. It was Malcom Nolan who had stood up for him and helped him.
Given the chance he had now, he would not be stingy, especially since Fabian was someone he liked and was going to be his future son-in-law. However, Fabian shook his head.
"How can I ask for capital directly from you! What I mean is that I want to partner with the Holt family to work on the project."
Tyler was really surprised. The Nolan family had always liked to work independently all these years. In fact, Tyler knew that Malcom was the kind of person who would be concerned over many issues. He wanted his family to be the sole proprietor of the family's properties. Besides, he wanted to build an empire he could call his own and leave the best of the crops for the many generations of his to come. Tyler pondered for a while and asked, "Does your father know about your decision?"
"Don't worry, Uncle Holt. Since I've brought it up, I'm sure I'll be able to handle it with my family. In fact, what I wish most is for Eudora to be able to be part of this development. In a way, this will help me grow closer to her."
Tyler finally understood and nodded, "It turns out that you're willing to sacrifice the business for love. Will you be able to take care of my daughter?"
Fabian smiled instantly and replied, "Uncle Holt, don't tease me. You know how capable I am!"
Tyler was naturally willing to do so. He also hoped that Eudora could start a new relationship soon so that she could cut off her relationship with Amos entirely. "Okay, let's do it. I'll tell Eudora about this!"
"Thank you, Uncle Holt."
As the two of them continued the conversation, dinner was ready. Eudora promised Fabian that she would cook for him, so she made some mushroom soup for him. "This'll make you feel better. Try it and see if it's to your taste."
Fabian took it and said, "I like everything you make."
Eudora didn't like how flirty Fabian was. However, she decided to not say anything because he rescued her. With that, she took a seat.
From what Tyler was seeing, he assumed that Eudora and Fabian were growing closer. He was relieved to see this.
During dinner, Fabian dissolved the coldness between Tyler and Eudora by lightening the atmosphere. Tyler was even more pleased with Fabian after doing so.
After dinner, Fabian was about to go back. Suddenly, Tyler nudged Eudora to follow him forcefully.
"Go and see him off."
Eudora could only follow Fabian out awkwardly. The two of them walked out slowly under the moonlight. Suddenly, Fabian asked her, "Don't you have anything to say to me?" Eudora was stunned for a moment. "Um, be careful and rest well when you get back. I wish you a speedy recovery."
She thought that this was just courtesy, but she never expected Fabian to be so happy and say, "I will do as you say." Eudora was speechless.
When they got outside, Fabian's driver came to pick him up. Eudora was about to say goodbye to him, but he pulled her into his arms with his other hand and hugged her lightly. "Good night. See you tomorrow."
Eudora stood there in a daze. After the car disappeared into the distance, she found Amos standing on the opposite side of the road with her two children.
