Their interaction seemed a little intimate. Amos Granger subconsciously wanted to push the door open, but he suddenly remembered something and halted his steps.
It was not until Clint Zuckerberg had called him again that Amos had turned around and left.
After changing his clothes in his car and refreshing himself, Amos made his way back to Eudora George’ s ward.
It was apparent that the meal was over, and Christopher Gellert was chatting with Eudora. When he entered the ward, both of them immediately stopped talking.
Christopher, in particular, immediately stood up vigilantly, looking like an opponent ready for battle.
Amos was not angry, instead, he just smiled faintly. "You’re here, Mr. Gellert."
Christopher glowered and said, ''Amos, you still have the nerve to come here?"
Amos raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why would I not have the nerve to be here?"
"Because of you, Eudora is in this state. Don’t try to pretend to be the good guy here."
Amos pursed his lips and said, "This matter is between me and my fiancee..."
At that instant, Christopher refuted, "What are you talking about? You two have already broken up!" As Amos remained silent, Christopher turned to look at Eudora and said, "Eudora, say something!"
Eudora glanced at Amos and noticed that from the beginning till now, there was a determined look on his face which reminded her of the time when he had wanted her to be with him.
"Christopher, shouldn't you go back soon?” Eudora said. After all, this was between her and Amos.
Although Christopher was reluctant to leave, when he saw that Eudora was firm about this, he nodded.
"I'll be going then. Call me immediately if you need any help."
"Okay!" Eudora nodded.
After Christopher left, Eudora turned to Amos and said, "Mr. Granger, I think I have made myself very clear..."
"Yes!" Amos nodded.
"Then why did you still say those words?"
"Because I don’t agree to it." Amos added, "I want to take back what I've said. I want you to stay by my side.”
"You are so shameless!" Eudora gnashed her teeth.
"Whatever you say!" Amos laughed. "As long as you're willing to stay with me, you can say whatever you want."
His words made her lose her temper, so she had no choice but to be honest with him.
"It's pointless now. I don't love you anymore, Amos."
Amos smiled and said, "You're lying. You're such a shameless liar."
"I am not lying!" Eudora gritted her teeth.
"Then why do you still keep the ring that I gave you and place it with your mother's relics?" Amos said, as he fished out a necklace from his pocket and handed it to Eudora.
Eudora reached out and snatched it from his hand, saying, "I... I placed it there a long time ago, and I have just forgotten to take it off."
As soon as she finished her sentence, she immediately unhooked the necklace, took the ring off it and threw it on the floor.
Amos' eyes dimmed slightly. He went over and bent down to pick it up. "Even if you had forgotten about this, then why were you still willing to sacrifice your life to save me when we were in the warehouse?"
“I've said it before, that is a repayment. You took a dagger for me, so I'll snap the rope for you. No one owes anyone anything!"
"No!" Amos gnashed his teeth. "You owe me a child! You promised me that you would bear a child for

me.
As he spoke, he suddenly leaned forward, and his large palm went under the quilt and stroked her belly. His fingers were so cold that she had goosebumps all over her.
Eudora struggled. "Amos, what are you doing?"
