My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 842
Doctor Leon knew that Eudora would compromise eventually.
No one in the world loved Amos more than Eudora. Furthermore, the doctor was Amos' only hope!
However, Doctor Leon grew quite curious when she said that she wanted to talk to the doctor in charge!
Even though he was perplexed, Doctor Leon would still try to arrange for her to talk with the doctor since it wasn't a troublesome work.
"Well, I'll contact them immediately. When the doctor arrives and everything is ready, I'll arrange for you two to meet each other."
"Thank you, Doctor Leon. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do!" Eudora sincerely expressed her gratitude.
Doctor Leon shook his head. "You don't have to thank me. I have been with Amos throughout this. I am touched by the love you have for each other. Even if we were strangers, I would still help you! However, i the two of you have some time, I would like to ask for a little favor."
Eudora was naturally willing to agree to his request!
"Go ahead. Even if it's a big matter, I'll help you out."
"It is not a big matter! It's just that Helen's wedding is coming up in a few days. I learned from her that things are getting better between you two. She had done some outrageous things in the past, and she learned her lesson. She is, however, embarrassed to invite you to her wedding. I'm just asking on behalf of her. Please come to the wedding if you can!"
"This is a good thing! Of course, I'll go! Besides, Amos is not that petty. I'll take care of him!"
"Great! I'll get someone to send you an invitation later!"
Doctor Leon moved quite fast and Eudora received Helen's invitation in the afternoon.
The invitation was red with golden letters. When Eudora opened it, there was a photo of the bride and groom. Helen was resting her head on her groom's shoulder happily. She appeared to have found her own happiness.
Eudora was truly happy for her!
In the evening, Eudora mentioned this to Amos. Both of them were lying in bed, but there was a gap between them.
"Doctor Leon has been helping us all this while, thus I think we should go to Helen's wedding!"
Amos did not respond for a while. Eudora almost thought that he had fallen asleep.
"Amos..."
"Alright, let's go!" Amos said in a low and hoarse voice.
"I'll drive you guys there!"
It was obvious that Amos intended to send them over, but he would not participate in the wedding. He was still quite reluctant to let others know that he was Amos. However, Eudora could not bear to force him. This matter had never been Amos' fault.
She changed the subject and talked about things that were going on in the company.
Eudora shared about how the manager in the HR Department used to dislike her. However, he actually praised her during the meeting on this day!
Other shareholders did the same even though they disliked her before.
The more Eudora spoke, the more excited she became. She subconsciously rolled towards Amos!
However, before she could get close to him, Amos turned around and avoided her.
Eudora was flustered for a moment before turning back to her side, "Aren't you going to ask me why?"
Amos went along with her and asked, "Why?"
"The reports for Valiant East Catering have come out today. Due to the previous incident and the exaggeration by the media, we're making more money than before! They're all happy to receive profits now." It was normal for people to put their self interests first.
"Let's sleep!" Amos suddenly spoke again.
Eudora thought that he did not want to listen to her ramble, thus she shut her mouth. She fell asleep in a daze.
In the middle of the night, there was a loud noise outside.
Eudora woke up and thought of checking it out. When she walked to the window, a tree branch had fallen.
The branch hit the glass when it fell. With a crash, the glass shattered.
The glass almost hit Eudora's face. Eudora
was so shocked that she froze on the spot and could not move for a moment.
Eudora only came back to her senses when a pair of hands held her back. She felt a wave of lingering fear after she was in Amos' embrace,
"What happened? I was scared to death!"
Amos carried her out of the room and placed her on the bed next door. He turned around and was about to check on her. Then, Eudora grabbed him by the arm.
"Don't go!"
"It's all right. I'll go have a look."
Eudora reminded him before letting go of him, "I recall there was a tree outside the window. Cindy told me a while ago that the tree had not grown leaves in a year and was withered. Termites were also found on the roots! I've been so distracted this year that I totally forgot about it! I believe that the tree had fallen! Just look from a distance and don't go near it."
Amos nodded and left the room.
He was back after a moment.
"Well, it's just as you said. Tomorrow, I'll ask someone to move the tree and fix the window! Just sleep here tonight!"
Eudora nodded. Amos washed his hands and went to bed again.
As usual, they stayed far away from each other. However, because of what happened earlier, Eudora was still a little frightened.
Now, her heart was beating, and she really wanted to get closer to Amos.
Thinking of this, Eudora stretched out her hand and gently tugged Amos' sleeve.
"I'm a little scared!"
"I'm here, so don't be afraid!" Amos said in a low voice.
Eudora parted her lips. "Can I..."
However, Eudora swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue. Forget it! With Amos' current situation, he could not get over that obstacle himself. She did not want him to feel burdened. Turning over, Eudora was about to force herself to forget what had just happened when a rustling sound came from behind. She then was wrapped around a warm embrace from behind. "Let's sleep!"
Eudora's back stiffened. She could feel the warmth coming from Amos' body. It was still the same as before, making her feel safe. This time, she really closed her eyes and fell asleep.
When Eudora breathing became steady, Amos looked at the happy little woman in his arms, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. Eudora was indeed his wife. She was so strong and never gave up on him. However, he was the one who had become dependent on her! Amos felt that he was a failure as a fully-grown man as he couldn't let go of her! He felt like he had never accomplished anything in his life! He lowered his head and silently laid a kiss on Eudora's forehead as he pondered.
Amos felt that he couldn't let Eudora be the only one devoted to their relationship. Amos did not want to sit back and watch Eudora work so hard. Amos felt great about having Eudora as his wife.
She was like a sun that melted his cold heart.
