Eudora quickly shook her head and said, "That's not what I meant, Amos. Don't think that way."
Amos gave a wry smile.
"Forget it, you don't need to say anything more. I won't force you to trust me. Let it be!"
After that, he took a step forward abruptly .
The strange thing was that there had initially been a fence in front of them. To Eudora's consternation, it disappeared the moment Amos stepped out.
Eudora watched helplessly as Amos's body fell from the hospital building.
Her heart in her mouth, she rushed forward, trying to catch him.
"Amos!"
She was petrified at the thought of losing Amos. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and her surroundings had changed. Currently, she was in the ward.
With lingering fear in her heart, she got out of bed without hesitation. She ran out of the ward without even putting on her shoes.
Just as she was about to open the door, she bumped into a familiar embrace.
When Amos saw Eudora, he hurriedly held her in his arms.
"What's wrong?"
His gentle tone and concerned expression warmed Eudora's heart. She hugged him tightly and said, "It's not like that. Of course, you're the most important person in my life!"
Amos was startled and lowered his head to look at the adorable woman in his embrace.
After a while, his mouth curved into a smile.
What a sudden confession of love!
It dispelled his dejection in an instant. He lowered his head and pressed her head against his.
"Little cutie, were you dreaming?"
Eudora was baffled. It was not until she thought for a while that she realized it had really been a dream despite being deceptively real. Although she had come to her senses, the memory of it still troubled her.
"I dreamed about you jumping off from this floor! It scared the wits out of me!"
Amos laughed, "How could that happen? I wouldn't do that to you. What's more, a world with you is such a beautiful place, so I wouldn't want to part with you."
He took out a box from his other hand and placed it in front of Eudora as if he was performing a magic trick.
"You didn't have the soup prepared by Uriah, so I went out to buy your favorite strawberry cake. It looks great, doesn't it?"
As he spoke, he wrapped his arm around Eudora's waist and led her to the table.
Putting the box on the table, he unpacked it meticulously.
"The strawberries are fresh. They've just been picked this morning. I told them to use the best ones when baking the cake. Have a try!"
Seeing his efforts, Eudora felt a lump in her throat.
She began to reflect on her attitude. Consequently, she knew she had acted unreasonably. Amos was angry with Naomi because of her. As a mother, she had only thought of her daughter. However, she should have put herself into Amos's shoes.
"I'm sorry. Naomi..."
Amos shook his head and said, "It's okay. Naomi, come in!"
Eudora was stunned as she said, "You..."
Amos sighed. Exasperated, he replied, "I'll listen to you!"
Eudora was moved, and she couldn't help but plant a kiss on Amos's cheek.
Naomi and Nelson had stood outside the ward for a long time. Upon being summoned by Amos, Naomi was thrilled that he had finally allowed them to go in. The first scene that she saw after opening the door of the ward was her parents exchanging a kiss.
Nelson turned his head to the side in embarrassment whereas Naomi, who had long grown accustomed to her parents' mannerisms, walked straight in.
"Mom..."
Eudora sized Naomi up carefully to confirm that she was healthy and uninjured. Only then did Eudora spoke.
