A crowd started to gather as soon as the accident happened.
Seeing this, the man snorted, "My little Wendy, you really are not adorable anymore. I will come back again!"
After that, he turned around and left.
Wendy Liam tried to move her injured leg as she dialed Amos Granger's number.
When Eudora George and Christopher Gellert had finished their coffee, they came out from the cafe and saw that a crowd had gathered at the road.
Both of them were stunned and asked simultaneously, "What happened?"
"Probably a car accident!" Christopher said.
As he spoke, the crowd was already dispersing. Amos walked out of the crowd while carrying Wendy in his arms.
Christopher was surprised and he subconsciously turned to look at Eudora.
He could see that Eudora's expression was stiff. She then said with a smile on her face, "Let's go back to the office."
But before they could leave, Amos was already walking towards them.
"Wendy was hit by a car. I'm taking her to the hospital. I'll be home by eight o'clock tonight."
After that, he got into the car and drove away.
After a long pause, Eudora finally came back to her senses. That was the time she realized that Amos was actually reporting his schedule to her.
Christopher and Eudora looked at each other in confusion."What the hell is going on with you two?"
Eudora shook her head and simply replied, "I don't know. Let's go!"
Amos brought Wendy to the hospital. Her condition was not very serious, she had only suffered some minor scratches. Once the doctor bandaged her wounds, she was good to go.
Amos drove her home after that but Wendy didn't want to let go of his hand when they arrived. "Please don't leave. I'm really scared."
He frowned and said, "Before I sent you to the hospital just now, you must have already heard that I’ve promised Eudora that I’ II be back by eight o'clock tonight."
Wendy looked at Amos in a daze. She realized that Amos didn't even want to lie to her to comfort her anymore.
Even though, he had always been that way.
"Do you hate me that much?" Wendy asked in a daze.
"No!" Amos frowned and answered aloud, "You saved my life before. There isn't a need for us to lie to each other. I will not shirk my responsibilities. But you must remember that I still have my own family."
"But you are the reason that I have become the way I am now. You’ re having a family with another woman, but what about me?" Wendy yelled at him.
Amos was stunned, "You..."
"I don't care!" Wendy hugged Amos as she said, "I want you to be with me. I don't want to lie to myself. I just can't leave you, Amos. You were the one who brought me back from the United States, so you must be responsible for me. Let’s get married, shall we? I can accept Eudora, but please don’t be so cold to me, alright?"
Wendy burst out in tears. What she said was getting more outrageous.
Amos instantly pushed her hand away and said, "You're tired. You'd better take a break!"
After that, he called Auntie Agnes over and asked, "Where is the doctor?"
"He’s here!" Auntie Agnes replied and hurriedly called the doctor over. The doctor then injected sedatives into Wendy so that she would calm down. However, her eyes were still looking at Amos as she said in a much calmer voice, "I'm sorry. Did I say a lot of nonsense just now? I wasn't in my right mind. I didn't mean it. Please don't be angry with me!"
Amos shook his head and said, "Get some rest. The design company and the professionals are all ready to be at your service. Whenever you're ready, we can start the business."
Wendy nodded and agreed, "Okay."
