My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 702

Eudora felt her eyelids constantly twitching as if something was bothering her. She wanted to open her eyes, but she couldn't.

Finally, when she heard Sugar Bun's crying, her heart fluttered and she finally opened her eyes.

Cold!

It was really cold.

Eudora couldn't help but shudder as she hugged Sugar Bun tightly again.

She didn't know that her lips were as pale as paper at this time, which made her look scary.

Seeing that she had opened her eyes, Sugar Bun kept looking at her with his round eyes. He gazed upon her as if she would disappear the moment he blinked his eyes.

Eudora felt the difference in Sugar Bun's aura towards her, and she felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

She wanted to say something, but she was afraid that she would break the delicate bond that was just formed between Sugar Bun and her if she spoke, thus she decided to keep the excitement in her heart. Looking at the sky outside, it seemed that it was almost noon.

Eudora struggled to stand up, "Sugar Bun, you must be hungry. I'll go and find you something to eat!"

She seemed fine when she didn't move, but when she did, she realized that her body was very weak.

She forced herself to stand up. Eudora had only taken two steps before she fell to the ground.

As she was about to hit the ground, she remembered that her son was in her arms. She turned her body immediately so her son would fall on her instead. Her body broke contact with the ground beneath. Then, everything went dark in front of her and her ears started buzzing.

Hearing the sharp cry of Sugar Bun, Eudora thought that she had dropped him. She wanted to reach out to hug him but her arms had no strength at all.

She could only force a smile in the direction of her son and said softly, "Be good..."

Seeing that Eudora's face was as pale as paper, Sugar Bun cried even more sadly.

He began to scream again. He hadn't uttered words before. When they took him to the doctors previously, the doctor had said that there was nothing wrong with him, perhaps he just wasn't ready to speak yet. Or perhaps he didn't have the urge to speak.

If they wanted him to learn, they would have to encourage him to talk to them.

He would only say words such as "Da da da..." when he was happy or sad.

Eudora knew that he must be very frightened, but she did not have the strength to open her eyes anymore.

Sugar Bun kept calling for her, but Eudora merely lay motionless on the cold hard ground.

A look of fear finally appeared on his face. He once again burst into tears. His chubby little hands gripped Eudora's finger.

This was the first time he had taken the initiative to hold her finger.

It was the first time Eudora felt that kind of warmth and tacit understanding between the child and the mother.

A flow of warm energy slowly flowed from Sugar Bun's tightly clenched fist towards Eudora's fingers. Slowly, she seemed to gain a little strength. As she struggled to open her eyes, she suddenly heard the child's vague cry.

"M..."

Eudora's heart tightened and she forced herself to open her eyes.

"Sugar Bun, what did you call me?"

"Mom..." It was clearer this time. Sugar Bun called her 'Mom'.

Feeling a lump in her throat, Eudora held her son.

"Sugar Bun, my child."

"Mom..." Sugar Bun seemed to have gotten used to the word fast. As he slowly started to speak, he kept calling for her repeatedly.

It was a miracle for Sugar Bun to start speaking all of a sudden, and to address her as his mother. She was instantly filled with power.

Eudora pushed herself up and walked unsteadily to the entrance of the cave.

Mark stayed outside after listening to Baldrick's complaints. He was stunned when he saw Eudora's pale face.

"You..."

Eudora ignored him and spoke.

"My child is hungry!"

Baldrick was still sulking over his game. When he heard Eudora's request, he kicked her grumpily.

"Do you think that you're still the bigshot and want me to serve you? Go away!"

Eudora was too weak to shield herself. She could only turn around and take the kick on the back. As long as it didn't hurt Sugar Bun, she could accept anything. She then spoke again firmly.

"My child is hungry!"

Baldrick wanted to kick her again, but Mark immediately stopped him.

"Don't be crazy! This is the last time I am warning you!"

Baldrick seemed afraid of Mark, so he walked away angrily.

Mark walked over and looked at Eudora, "Your face is very pale. Are you ill?"

Eudora sneered, "Don't pretend to be a good person! Either you let me and my child go or give my child something to eat!"

She was too weak to fight back. She was afraid that she couldn't hold on any longer.

Nevertheless, her priority at this moment was to find food for Sugar Bun.

Mark frowned and said no more. He took a few pancakes and handed them to Eudora, "This is all I have!"

Eudora looked at the pancakes and frowned, "Do you not have any more soup?"

Sugar Bun was still teething. He couldn't have solid food yet!

Mark then handed a bottle of water to Eudora.

Eudora grabbed the bottle of water and slowly walked back in. She ate two mouthfuls of the pancakes and drank a little of the water to check whether they were safe to be eaten. Then, she broke the food into pieces bit by bit and fed them to Sugar Bun.

She wasn't sure whether Sugar Bun had accepted her, but at the very least, he was lying perfectly still in his arms and he had since stopped crying.

He no longer struggled when Eudora fed him.

It seemed that he had become completely reliant on her. Eudora had not felt this way for a long time.

All of a sudden, she felt that she could take on the world, just to protect her baby boy.

After making sure that Sugar Bun was well fed, Eudora finished the rest of the pancakes and water. After that, she gradually calmed down.

This place was too remote, and these two were clearly well prepared. It might take Amos and the rest some time to discover this place.

Fortunately, Sugar Bun was safe. However, she was sick. If they stayed together too long, he would get ill too.

She couldn't imagine what would happen if both of them were to fall sick since there was no medicine at all.

With the little strength she had, she started to form a plan in her head to escape the place.

As long as she could escape from the cave, she would have then more opportunities to ask for help.

At this moment, Sugar Bun suddenly reached out his palm and patted the back of her hand.

"Wh..."

Eudora was surprised by his desire to speak. She followed up with a wave of her hand and chimed in.

"Wheat?"

Sugar Bun shook his head and once again, he said, "White..."

"White?"

"Princess Snow White?" Eudora asked casually.

The next second, he lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand.

The rims of Eudora's eyes reddened. Did Sugar Bun think that she was Snow White?
