My Second Husband novel Chapter 118

"I have no intention to do so!"

Eudora George said resolutely.

She was chased out by Gordon George in the beginning. Now that they wanted her to come home with them, she couldn't just go back like this, could she?

"Eudora..." Felicia Maurice wanted to continue, but she was interrupted by Eudora.

"As long as you and Kesha are by his side, he will be happy. You all are a family!"

Aunt Valerie noticed that Eudora was really angry, so she quickly pushed Felicia away.

"Madam, our Miss doesn't want to talk to you!"

Gordon’s continuous cough from behind made Eudora furrow her brows. She was then pushed back to the ward by Aunt Valerie.

When they were out of their sight, Aunt Valerie finally asked, "Miss, were they your family?"

Eudora smiled bitterly and said, "They no longer are!"

Upon hearing that, Aunt Valerie didn't continue to speak. Eudora wasn’t in a good mood for the rest of the afternoon, and her mind was constantly thinking about Gordon’s cough.

It sounded as if he was going to cough his lungs out. Amos Granger noticed that Eudora was moody when he came to visit her at night. He immediately furrowed his brows.

"What's going on?" Amos asked.

Aunt Valerie told Amos about what had happened in the afternoon, mostly on the part where they had bumped into Gordon.

Amos nodded and glanced at Eudora.

Eudora was in a daze as she stared at a leaf through the window. If it wasn’t for that tree, she wouldn’t have realized that it was already autumn.

On that tree, there was a dried leaf which was dangling and shaking violently as the wind blew. Just as Eudora thought that it would not fall onto the ground, it did.

At that time, her heart sank.

Amos came over, hugged her from behind and asked, "What are you staring at?"

"The leaves are falling!" Eudora answered flatly.

"Well, they will grow again next year!" Amos replied.

"But they are not the same leaves that had fallen, are they?"

“This..."

Amos frowned and said, "If you're worried about him, you can go and ask the doctor."

"I'm not!" Eudora shook her head and quickly denied. "He deserves it!"

Listening to this, Amos reached out and ruffled her hair. "Is your stomach feeling much better?" "Yup!" Eudora nodded. She felt so much better after drinking the peppermint tea that Aunt Valerie had prepared for her in the afternoon.

"Then shall we eat?"

Eudora was relatively silent during the meal. Amos left the room after they were done with dinner. Not too long after, a doctor came in.

Before Eudora could figure out what was going on, the doctor had already started to speak.

"Mr. George is warded in our hospital because of his heart problem. His condition is stable for the time being, so you don't have to worry too much about it. As of his cough, it was just a cold that he had caught two days ago and he is currently under treatment for it..."

The doctor spoke very quickly and left once he was done.

It was only after the doctor had left that Eudora realized that he was talking about Gordon.

After a short while, Amos came back.

Eudora lowered her head and lay on the bed in a daze, but her mood seemed to have become better.

Amos immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Coincidentally his phone rang, so he answered the call.

It was Clint Zuckerberg. He had called to inform Amos about Thomas Shelby. According to his investigation, Thomas came from the States. He had committed several local crimes hence the relevant departments had brought him back to the States for trial. Amos only nodded and instructed, "Get someone to keep an eye on him. Don't let him escape again."

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, he found that the little woman was looking at him with her burning eyes.

Amos curved his lips and asked, "Have you just found out that I'm actually very handsome?"

Eudora was speechless.

She had never thought that Amos would be so full of himself. She just chuckled and thanked him.
