My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 827

The next day, Eudora received a notice from Elaine that they were going on a business trip together.

The charity project they had worked on together was to build a few schools in the rural areas. Now that it had been confirmed, they were about to start the construction.

Naturally, both of them were expected to attend the groundbreaking ceremony.

Eudora had agreed to proceed with the project not only because she wanted to do charitable work but also to reverse the evil deeds that Sebastian had committed before. Naturally, she wanted to attend as well.

Eudora had initially wanted to bring Sugar Bun along.

However, the construction site was in the mountains where the roads were dangerous.

After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to ask Tina to take care of Sugar Bun.

Sugar Bun and Tina were close, so she was not worried.

After a decision was made, Eudora left with

Clint.

The destination was neither close nor far away from Rosaville City.

It was in an awkward location. It was not cost-effective to take a plane, but it would take a long time to get there by car!

In the end, she called Sawyer to send them there.

After more than ten hours of driving on the mountain roads, they finally arrived at the village.

The school in the mountains had organized a welcome ceremony, and the children were enthusiastic. After Eudora finished eating, Elaine took her to have a rest.

"The conditions here aren't good. Albert, the principal, vacated this house for us. It has three bedrooms and one living room."

"You can sleep in this room tonight, and I will sleep in that room. As for the other room, your assistant and driver can sleep there!"

"What about your assistant?" Eudora was puzzled.

"My assistant is a girl. We'll share a room!"

Eudora was satisfied with the arrangement and nodded.

Just as Elaine said, the living conditions there were not too good. After Eudora unpacked her things in the room, she thought of washing her face in the bathroom outside. However, the water from the tap was filthy black!

When she opened the tap, she was so shocked that she could not believe her eyes.

She turned off the tap and came back.

"Forget it, forget it. Just hold on for these few days!" Eudora thought to herself.

After Eudora left, Sawyer walked in and turned the tap to have a look. A moment later, he walked to the field outside the house.

Albert was playing football with the children. The children were still a little scared when they saw Sawyer! After all, he looked very strange in his clothes.

Only Albert recognized that he was Eudora's driver. He walked towards Sawyer with a smile.

"The conditions here are quite lacking. Please bear with it!"

Sawyer shook his head.

He said in a relaxed manner, "The water here isn't so good, is it?"

Albert sighed, "Yes! The water in the mountains is like this. It is sometimes good and sometimes bad! Are Miss George and Miss Malone not used to it? I've forgotten about that! I'll immediately ask people to buy some mineral water. They can use the mineral water to wash up for the next few days!"

Sawyer frowned, "That would be too wasteful! If they find out, they won't use the water too!"

Albert said helplessly, "There was a spring on the mountain in front of us, but recently a landslide occurred, so we can't go up to the mountains to take water from there anymore!"

Sawyer looked at the place where Albert was pointing at.

Since Eudora could not wash up, she did not feel comfortable and failed to sleep well either. After sleeping for a while, she would wake up again.

It was already dusk. She instinctively took a towel out and was about to go and wash her face again. The moment she turned on the tap, she thought of the dirty water again.

She subconsciously withdrew her hand, but the water coming out of the tap was clean this time.

Elaine came out of the room behind her and said, "Perhaps Albert has asked someone to settle it. Finally, we can use the water."

Eudora suppressed the doubts in her heart and washed her face. Only then did she feel much more comfortable.

The next day was the groundbreaking ceremony. Everyone in the mountain's village went to the event.

Everyone was incredibly busy! Even Albert was happily carrying a bag of sand, saying that it would be used later!

Eudora looked at his thin appearance and hurriedly said,

She hurriedly said, "Just put it down and let the young people do it."

Albert shook his head.

He said with full of excitement, "There hasn't been such a good thing in our village for many years. I must contribute to this myself." Before he could finish his words, Albert tripped over a rock and lost his balance. The bag of sand was about to fall off.

Eudora naturally went forwards to hold him up, but before she could even rush towards him, a black shadow behind her pulled her away and went instead.

The bag of sand had fallen off Albert's shoulder. With a grunt, Sawyer blocked the bag of sand with his back.

When the rest of the people saw the scene, they hurriedly stepped forward and helped to remove the bag of sand.

Albert felt guilty and said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. You're hurt, aren't you? I'll call the doctor in the village to treat you."

"There's no need for that!" Sawyer waved his hand. "It's not a big problem."

"How can that be? It's better to get it checked out!"

Eudora also nodded, "You'd better not refuse! The three of us have come here together. If you get injured, what should we do?" Sawyer had no choice but to nod.

Clint, who was standing behind, kept staring at Sawyer's back and was deep in thought.

Just now, Sawyer's subconscious movements and actions looked familiar!

The doctor soon arrived. He examined Sawyer and said, "It's nothing serious, just a bruise. I'll give him some ointment to apply later!"

Only then did everyone feel at ease and continue with the groundbreaking ceremony.

In the evening, after returning to the room, Clint called out to Sawyer.

He said, "I'll help you with the medicine!"

Sawyer pursed his lips, "There's no need for you to do that! I can do it myself."

"You're injured on your back though, aren't you? How can you apply it on your own?"

Sawyer could not refute.

"Let me help you!" Clint stretched his hand out to grab a hold of Sawyer's clothes. The next second, Sawyer turned around and dodged his grip.

He insisted, "You really don't have to! I can do it myself."

After Sawyer left, Clint raised his eyebrows, "So mysterious!"

There was no phone signal in the mountains, and naturally, there was no entertainment either. After washing up, Eudora stepped outside to get some fresh air. The moon was bright, while the wind was strong, numbing as it blew against her face.

It was not snowing in the mountains, so the temperature was slightly more comfortable for her than at Rosaville City.

Looking at the moonlight, Eudora could not help but think of some old memories.

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a rustling sound.

"Who is it?" Eudora called out, alert.

The shadow was silent for a moment and did not make a sound.

Eudora then took two more steps forward, and the shadow said, "Don't come over, I'm applying medicine."

That voice...was Sawyer's...

Sure enough, she could smell the ointment.

Eudora stopped in her tracks and asked, "Why aren't you applying the medicine in your room?"

It was so cold outside...

On second thought, he seemed to be extremely conscious about the scars on his body. That should be the reason why he did not want to apply the ointment in his room. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that not only was his back covered with bruises, but his shoulder was too. Eudora frowned, "Are you injured somewhere else?"
