My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 770
"Amos..."
Eudora had dreamt of Amos countless times.
In the dream, he was as gentle as before, holding her hand and looking at the scars on her body with heartache. She felt as though her heart was being stabbed. She wanted to hug him but could only watch him disappear.
When she woke up from her sleep, she sat on the bed with tears streaming down her face.
There were traces of Amos everywhere in the house. He had once stood in every corner.
How could she not think of him?
Eudora could not fall asleep, so she decided to get up.
She went to the garden to plant flowers alone. She had once said that she wanted to design the courtyard nicely, but her plans got delayed by various matters. Now that Amos was gone, she still had not fulfilled her promise.
For the first time, Eudora felt that she was really a b*tch. She had always taken Amos's love for granted and had done a lot of things that hurt him. However, this time, he was gone.
From here on now, she could no longer be capricious because no one in the world would tolerate her anymore.
Eudora kept herself busy for the whole night. When Cindy woke up the next morning, she heard the noise and walked over to the garden.
"Madam, did you not sleep for the entire night?" she asked in shock.
Eudora shook her head and wanted to say that she simply could not fall asleep.
However, her head felt so dizzy that it was uncomfortable. Cindy hurried over to support her. "Madam, why don't we take a break inside?" Before she could finish speaking, Eudora had already blacked out and collapsed to the ground.
Floating in and out of consciousness, she heard as Cindy shouted, "Charlie, call the doctor quickly!"
When Eudora woke up again, she could hear Cindy softly calling out to her.
"Madam, it's time to take your medicine!"
Before Eudora could even open her eyes, she could already smell a bitter taste. It was bitter, very bitter.
She frowned subconsciously and heard Helen's voice.
"You've overexerted and overwhelmed yourself until you've fallen sick. The medicine is a little bitter, but you'll get better after taking it!"
Eudora shook her head and refused to open her eyes.
Truth be told, she was also afraid of the bitter taste.
When she was with Amos, he would hold her in her arms and coax her to take her medicine.
He had doted on her so much that she had become like a child.
Helen's voice rang in her ears once again, "Eudora, I know you're feeling sad. However, Amos truly is gone. Even if you can't accept that, he won't come back. Do you know what's happening outside? The news has gone viral. Sebastian went around saying on the media that you had tried to usurp the Granger family's assets. He even said that you had seduced and killed Amos. If you don't become stronger, would you rather see your children become pawns and be used as scapegoats by others?"
Eudora's head was buzzing. She had heard Helen's words, crystal clear.
However, she could not open her eyes no matter how hard she tried!
Suddenly, Cindy's voice sounded, "Oh, Miss Juju, what's wrong? How did you get so injured?"
Juju?
Eudora's heart skipped a beat, and she opened her eyes abruptly.
"Juju..."
Hearing her voice, Juju subconsciously began to run. Eudora hurriedly got up and stumbled to catch up with her.
However, she unexpectedly lost her balance and fell to the floor.
"Naomi George, get back here!" she called out.
Juju turned around and ran back to her hurriedly, "I'm sorry, Mom. Does it hurt? I'm so sorry."
Eudora did not heed the pain in her body. She frantically examined the injuries on Juju.
Her body and face were bruised, and her hair was also messy. Obviously, she had gotten into a fight with someone!
Eudora took in a cold breath. Rage welled up inside of her in an instant.
"Naomi, you've gone too far! Why did you fight with other people? You're only eight years old, and you're the young mistress of the Granger family. Did you think that you're a gangster?"
Juju did not say anything. Eudora's nose twitched, and she raised her hand to spank Juju's butt.
"Mommy has always thought that you're a sensible child, but you've disappointed me terribly! You're the elder sister. How can you be so irresponsible? What do you want me to do? How will I face your father?" Amos was gone, and everything belonging to the Granger family rested on her shoulders. She was already unable to take care of herself. She was exhausted, so exhausted.
Juju pouted, and her eyes were starting to redden.
However, ultimately, she did not shed tears. She straightened her back and merely said, "Mom, don't be sad. Sugar Bun and I will keep you company."
Eudora's heart tightened, and she immediately held Juju in her arms.
"Does the spank hurt? I didn't mean to beat you! I'm so sorry."
In the end, Juju could not hold it in any longer and began to cry while hugging Eudora.
After she got tired from crying, Eudora called Helen over to help take a look at Juju. Then, she took the first aid kit and applied medicine for Juju before letting her continue sleeping. Once she fell asleep, Eudora turned to look at Charlie.
"Have you found out about what had happened to Juju?"
He nodded, saying, "I have. It was because someone had scolded you, saying that you were a jinx and had caused President Granger's death, so she got into a fight with that person!" Eudora's heart sank. She clenched her fists tightly.
"What else did that person say? I'm sure what they actually said is even worse than that, isn't it?"
Charlie opened his mouth and said, "Madam..."
"Tell me!" Eudora commanded.
Only then did Charlie take out a pen recorder and hand it to her. He was the one who had been guarding Juju in the shadows while Eudora was unconscious.
The bodyguards always carried a pen recorder with them.
When the recorder was turned on, a tender yet malicious voice sounded.
"Naomi, why are you being so arrogant? Do you think that you're still the young mistress of the Granger family? My mom said that your father has died. Your mother killed him. It's even written in the newspaper!"
Another voice chimed in, "That's right, I also heard about this from my father. He also mentioned that her mother is a vixen!"
"Vixen? My mom said that Juju's mother knows how to seduce people, and the goodlooking ones won't be able to hold themselves. After a while, Naomi might even have a new father!"
"Hahaha! Naomi is going to get a new dad! A new daddy, a new daddy!"
Then, Juju's angry voice sounded, "You can't talk about my mother like that!"
The recording sent chills down Eudora's spine. Children were said to be innocent, but the words of naive children were also the most vicious.
Charlie clenched his fists, saying, "Madam, don't be angry. I'll teach them a lesson for you!"
"No need!" She gritted her teeth, "I'll protect my own child by myself."
"
After that, she turned to pick up the bowl of the bitter medicine on the table and drank it all.
Cindy quickly brought over a piece of candied fruit and asked, "Madam, how about a piece of candied fruit? That way, the bitterness won't stay." Eudora shook her head and pushed it away.
She said, "I can do this."
She would have to bear all the future hardships and pain by herself.
"Help me make an appointment with these children's parents!" she ordered.
"Yes!" replied Charlie.
