In Clearwater Bay.

It was getting dark, but Eudora had not returned home yet.

Amos grew a little anxious, thus he gave the company a call to check on her.

"Are you all still working?"

Clint had been busy all day because he had been dealing with some matters on Eudora's behalf. Hearing this, he said, "Everyone else has gone off work! Miss George has left too! Did something..." Before he could finish speaking, Amos had already hung up the phone.

He asked Cindy to take care of Sugar Bun, and immediately called Charlie.

He ordered, "Conduct an investigation immediately. Find out where Eudora has gone!"

Charlie was anxious as well. Lately, something major would happen to Eudora and Amos once every few days. Now that she was missing, he felt even more on edge.

He no longer dared to delay for a second and immediately went to investigate her whereabouts.

A moment later, Charlie came back to inform Amos.

He said, "I've tracked the GPS in Madam's shoes and phone. They're not in the same location. I'm guessing that she has lost her phone! I'll send someone to where she is currently..." "I'll head over there!" Amos said, "Find out what happened to her phone!"

"Got it!" Charlie said.

Meanwhile, Eudora was asking passersby to lend her a phone to make a call. Since the child had snatched her purse and phone away, she was unable to go home. Most of the people, however, were skeptical of her and rejected her request. After speaking with many people, Eudora finally was able to borrow a young lady's phone. Eudora called home, and Cindy answered the call. She told Eudora that Amos was on his way to pick her up.

Eudora saw a familiar car speeding over before she could end the call. Before she could return the phone to the young lady, a tall shadow had already enveloped her. "Are you all right?"

The young lady seemed to be frightened. Eudora hurriedly handed the phone over to her and thanked her.

Then, she turned to look at Amos, "I'm fine!"

Amos looked at her from head to toe and finally fixed his eyes on Eudora's feet.

He asked, "You're hurt?"

Eudora pretended to calm as she replied, "I'm fine. It's no big deal. It'll heal on its own!"

Amos ignored her and picked her up in his arms, "Let's go home!"

Upon returning home, Amos quickly called a doctor. Eudora took the time to play with Sugar Bun while he was on the call. She did not care about her injury at all.

She remained calm even when the doctor arrived to treat her.

"It's okay! It's just a small matter. Don't make such a big fuss!"

The doctor looked at Eudora's red and swollen ankle and said, "Although there's no injury on the bones, you've still sprained your ankle. If you don't give it the proper treatment it needs, your recovery will be affected!"

"It's fine! My husband doesn't mind at all!" Eudora muttered.

Amos frowned while giving Eudora a meaningful look.

"Treat it well!" he ordered.

The doctor quickly wrapped her ankle.

The doctor advised, "Be careful to not walk around too much these days. Apply the ointment every day and massage the area around your ankle. It'll help with the recovery and prevent any possible complications."

Amos nodded and asked Cindy to send the doctor out.

The doctor had just warned Eudora not to move around, but as soon as Amos came back, he saw her jumping around and dancing in front of Sugar Bun.

He was so angry that he hurriedly went over and put her down, "Why are you being so disobedient? Didn't you hear what the doctor just said?"

Eudora smiled innocently, "Don't worry. I've said that it's no big deal! Besides, I feel fine!"

Something was wrong!

Amos could sense that she was acting weird. She must have had something going through her mind.

Without batting an eyelid, he pinched her cheek, "Don't be so cheeky! You're a mother, yet you're still so disobedient! Sugar Bun, do you think it's okay for Mom to act like this when she's injured?" Sugar Bun showed no reaction at first. However, when he heard Amos mention that Eudora was injured, he threw a tantrum instantly.

He grabbed Eudora's arm with his chubby little hand and shook it aggressively.

He scolded, "Mom, you are a bad girl. Listen to Dad!"

Eudora was rendered speechless.

After Eudora sat down, Amos went upstairs.

He called out for Charlie, "How's it going? Any updates about the phone?"

The expression on Charlie's face was a little solemn as he said, "The wallet and the money inside have been taken away. Even the money in the phone has been transferred away. However, they left the phone behind."

Amos was curious, "That's interesting. It's smart that the thief didn't take the phone."

After a pause, Charlie said, "I've investigated further and found out that the person who stole the phone is probably someone we know!"

"Who?" Amos was curious.

"Vincent Granger!"

Amos was shocked as he asked, "Didn't I send him abroad?"

After the previous incident, although he was not a legitimate child of the Granger family, Amos still sent him abroad to be more humane.

He wanted Vincent to receive top-tier education!

Charlie shook his head, "I'm not sure about that, but I'm sure that he's behind this!"

"Where is he? Have you caught him?"

Charlie shook his head, "No, we haven't! That group of people is quite vigilant! They had already evacuated before our arrival."

Amos frowned and thought about Vincent. Why had he done such a thing? He felt helpless as Vincent was Juju's classmate and was quite smart himself. "Keep looking! Let me know immediately when you find him. Where's the phone? Give it to me."

Charlie handed the phone over to Amos.

Amos gripped it hard and then said, "I asked you to find out why Eudora was in that area today. Have you found anything?"

It was easy to find out. Charlie nodded, "Yes! Madam had gone to Doctor Leon's clinic. I heard that the doctor that Doctor Leon arranged for you has arrived!"

Amos immediately understood what was going on!

She must have met up with the doctor there and was now trying to convince him to undergo the operation.

She had deliberately pretended to be indifferent and refused to be treated.

Amos was both angry and amused. He was angry because she had neglected her own health and safety to persuade him. However, he felt that it was ridiculous for her to say that he was the childish one. Truthfully, she was the most childish person in the world!

"Got it!" Amos nodded. "Continue investigating!"

Charlie knew that Amos was trying to avoid treatment. He had still hoped to convince him to seek medical attention. He was well aware, however, that the only person who could persuade him was Eudora, second to none!

He quickly asked, "What are your plans then?"

Amos looked out of the window and saw his face reflected in the glass.

"What do youthink?"

Charlie burst out laughing almost instantly, "I understand what you're trying to say! You're going to receive the treatment, aren't you?" Amos let out a sigh. Eudora was so stubborn. If he failed to agree to undergo treatment, he could not imagine what lengths she would go to.

Moreover, he wanted to be at his best because he had already agreed to be with her!
