After coaxing Eudora for a while, Naomi managed to persuade her to eat a few mouthfuls of food. She was finally much calmer.
However, it could be seen with the naked eye that she had lost some weight.
Naomi was incredibly worried. While Eudora was on a walk with Eddison, she sat in front of Amos's bed.
She said, "Dad, hurry up and wake up! Mom misses you so much that she's about to fall sick! Are you really willing to let her go on like that?"
Naomi sniffed, "Mom was so beautiful when she was young. She looks really pretty now, too. If you don't wake up soon, I'll find someone else for her! When that time comes, don't regret it!"
There was still no movement from the person on the bed.
Naomi sighed in disappointment. When she turned around, a hand suddenly grabbed her sleeve.
Naomi's heart skipped a beat of joy. When she turned around, she saw Amos staring at her.
He yelled, "Don't you dare!"
"Dad, you're awake!" Naomi was incredibly excited as she exclaimed, "I'll tell Mom right away!"
"You aren't allowed to find another man for your mother, understand?"
"Okay! Okay!" Naomi said as she ran out excitedly.
"Mom, Dad is awake!"
Amos laid on his bed and looked up at the ceiling above his head. He felt as if he was in a dream, as he had always felt that his body was quite healthy. He had always been concerned about Eudora's health.
However, he did not expect that he would be the first to fall ill.
Footsteps sounded outside the door. Amos stopped thinking and looked in the direction of the sound.
He saw Eudora staggering in, and her eyes were red. His heart tightened, and just as he was about to reach out his hand, Eudora had already punched him on the shoulder.
It was a very light punch, and tears fell from her face.
"How dare you wake up now? Liar!"
Amos reached out and grabbed her hand. Then, he combed her hair which was in a mess.
"Why have you lost weight?"
"Isn't that all your fault? You left me alone and laid there the whole time. You scared me to death, do you know?"
Naomi quietly wiped her eyes, closed the door and left, leaving some space for the two of them.
"I'm sorry," Amos reached out and hugged Eudora, letting her lie on his chest.
"It's my fault this time."
If he had not apologized, Eudora would not sob pathetically. However, since he had apologized, her tears fell like a waterfall.
"I was really scared! I was afraid that you wouldn't wake up. I can't live without you! I'm not lying about that!"
Amos tightened his embrace.
"It's the same with me."
"I can't live without you, too!" Amos sighed in his heart.
After embracing each other for a while, there was a knock on the door from outside.
"Dad, the doctor is here to examine you!"
Eudora quickly got up, saying, "That's right, let the doctor examine you quickly! You must treat your body."
Amused, Amos asked, "What about you? I've been laying in bed for the past few days. Did you take your medicine? Did you eat your meals?" "Yes, I've eaten them all!" Eudora found a chair and sat down beside the bed. "Now, it's my turn to supervise you!"
"Good! You're welcome to supervise."
After a week in the hospital, Amos could finally be discharged from the hospital.
After Amos fell ill, Naomi noticed that her parents' roles seemed to have switched.
In the past, Amos was the one reminding Eudora to take her medicine and her meals.
However, at the moment, it was the opposite. Every day, Eudora got up in the morning to exercise with Amos. Then, she would remind him to eat breakfast, and then drag him to go for a walk!
Rachel could not help but sigh when she saw the two treating each other so well.
