My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 866
In the evening, Eudora giggled as she stared at Amos while lying on the bed.
Amos was reading a recipe book. Under the dim light of the desk lamp, his profile was exquisite. Eudora recalled how the parents had praised Amos at school and she couldn't help but laugh. Amos closed his book in exasperation, "How can I focus on reading if you keep staring at me like that?"
Eudora replied, "Oh." Then, she pretended to turn her head.
Then, she dramatically turned her head, "I'll stop looking then!"
The next second, Amos stretched out his hand and pulled her back.
"You've already seen it. It's too late now."
Eudora nestled in his arms and continued to look at him. She complimented him, "You're so handsome! You're even more handsome than a movie star!"
It was rare for her to act like this, so Amos frowned as he asked, "Do I look better now or before?"
Eudora replied without hesitation, "Of course you look better now!"
"Oh?"
"You were good looking too in the past..." No matter how he listened to this sentence, he felt that she was just trying to please him.
Eudora did not pay him much attention as she just remembered that Amos had not applied his skincare yet. So, she went downstairs to grab them. "I'll apply it for you!"
In the past, Amos had only washed his face with a cleanser and nothing else. His skin was great. Therefore, Eudora had never asked him to use any other skincare products. However, it was different now. Most of the skin on his face was fresh. If he failed to take care of his skin carefully, pigments might form.
Therefore, Eudora would apply skincare products on his face every day under Doctor Leon's request.
Amos was cooperative for the first few days. Now that she was telling him that she would help him to apply his skincare products today, he turned his head away instead.
At first, Eudora thought that he had not heard her. So, she put some of the product on her finger and was about to put it on his face, but Amos then turned his head away again. Something was amiss!
Eudora was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Amos snorted and said, "Why does a man need to look good anyways?"
Eudora's jaw dropped in shock. A moment later, she covered her mouth and laughed.
"Mr. Amos Granger, don't tell me that you're jealous of yourself! How could you be so childish?"
She was amazed!
This was the first time for her to hear someone being jealous of himself!
Amos could not help but feel embarrassed. He took away the skincare products from her hands and pulled her onto the bed.
"Who said that I'm jealous? I'm not! Go to sleep!"
Eudora stretched her hand out and hooked his chin, "Honestly, you were really handsome too! Otherwise, why would I like you?"
Amos was stunned, "You've never said that before!" "I haven't said it before but things were different back then too! You were always handsome and I was used to it! Now, it's different! You've survived a disaster, making me cherish your handsome face even more!"
Amos frowned. It wasn't clear if he believed Eudora's words.
Eudora did not want him to hold a grudge in his heart. So, she went over and touched his chin again.
"If you don't believe me, look at yourself in the mirror! You only fixed your skin and didn't undergo any cosmetic surgery. How would you differ from the past?"
Eudora was talking next to him, her breaths sweeping over his neck.. Amos was angry at first, but it was so ticklish that his heart softened.
Before Eudora could finish speaking, he had already turned over and pressed her underneath his body.
"I believe you now, so let's do something more exciting!"
Eudora was speechless.
"Amos, you're such an a*shole!"
It was yet another day for Eudora to have an aching waist and back!
Eudora massaged her waist and clenched her teeth, slowly getting out of bed. She had brought home some files from work yesterday and had placed them on the desk in the study but she had not had time to deal with them.
She still had to finish her work even if she was unable to move!
Eudora got up slowly, then noticed the files piled up on the bedside table. She opened them and found out that everything had been dealt with!
At a glance, she could recognize Amos' handwriting on the documents.
At the very least, he had a conscience!
The anger in her heart died down a little but her desire to get up disappeared instead. She hugged the quilt and fell asleep again.
When she woke up again, it was already noon. The documents on the bedside table were gone. Amos must have given them to Clint when he dropped by the house.
Feeling much more comfortable, Eudora stood up. She brushed her teeth and washed her face.
As she walked down the stairs, she noticed Thea and Harley in the living room with Cutie Pie.
Some time ago, Thea had felt a little downcast, so she had not visited the house in a while. Eudora was quite surprised upon seeing her arrival.
When she looked closely, she noticed that Cutie Pie was playing happily with Juju. Then, she finally understood what was going on.
Cutie Pie was obsessed with Juju. Thea was here because she wanted to accompany Cutie Pie to see Juju.
Eudora walked over and greeted Thea. She was not as cheerful as before, but she did not seem to be in too bad of a mood.
The two of them just sat there and watched the two children playing together.
Truth be told, it was good to occasionally slow down and be unproductive. It was tough on oneself to be busy all day.
Eudora enjoyed her free time very much by daydreaming. Suddenly, Juju, who was playing with Cutie Pie screamed. Eudora and Thea were both startled. Thea quickly got up and ran over.
Juju was covering Cutie Pie's nose, "Mom, his nose is bleeding!"
Eudora was also shocked, "Quick, bring the medicine kit."
Upon hearing the commotion, Harvey and Amos rushed out. Harley started the car while Eudora tried to stop the bleeding. Then, she carried Cutie Pie to the car and got in with Thea. After getting in the car, Thea held Cutie Pie tightly in her arms. However, the bleeding didn't stop and continued to flow profusely.
Eudora was worried and wanted to ask Juju what had happened. However, when she saw how worried Juju was, she did not dare to ask any questions.
Amos called the hospital to notify them in advance. When they arrived at the hospital, Cutie Pie was taken away to be examined.
After a while, the doctor came out and asked, "Where's the child's family?"
Thea rushed over and said, "I'm here! How is my child?"
The doctor sighed and said, "The preliminary examination shows that he has leukemia. Please be mentally prepare yourselves!"
Thea trembled and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Harley held her from behind.
Thea held Harley's arm and burst into tears.
"What should we do? Harley, what's going to happen to Cutie Pie? He was already not in good health, but he even has such a disease now!" Harley was also depressed. However, he could only comfort her carefully at the moment.
"It's okay. I'm here. I'll figure a way out!"
