Clint Zuckerberg understood and instantly started to investigate.
Amos Granger leaned against the chair, reminiscing the feeling of Eudora George lying on his body just now.
However, over time, the feeling dissipated. Amos frowned and called Clint over.
"I'm going home. You should have a good rest too. We'll talk about it tomorrow if anything comes up."
After leaving the building, Amos drove straight home.
The house was pitch-dark. Amos pushed the door open and went in. Looking at the closed door on the second floor, he couldn't muster the courage to go upstairs.
After a moment of stupor, he went to the sofa next to him and sat down.
Suddenly, a woman moaned, "Ouch..."
Amos was startled and turned on the lights hastily.
The woman was lying on the sofa in her pajamas, looking at him with sleepy eyes.
He had just sat on her leg and she woke up in pain.
Amos frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you sleeping here?"
Eudora pursed her lips. She honestly didn't know why she chose to sleep here. The big house felt like a cage when Amos wasn’t home. Hence, she would rather stay here than to go inside.
However, she was not going to tell him that.
She found an excuse and told him, "I accidentally fell asleep while I was reading."
They had a habit of reading on the sofa, hence there were always a few books being placed there. After Eudora finished her sentence, she stood up and walked away.
"I'm going upstairs!"
However, as soon as she moved, she felt pain shooting through her ankle.
She gritted her teeth and insisted on standing up. But Amos had held her down at the very next second.
"Why are you pushing yourself so hard?"
"I'm fine..." Eudora answered. And that moment, Amos had reached out and pressed her ankle.
"Ouch!" Eudora grimaced in pain.
"Didn't you say that it didn't hurt?" His face became bitter as he said it. Eudora knew she couldn't win the argument so she didn't say anything.
Amos sat down beside her. "Does it hurt?" Amos asked as his slender fingers massaged her ankle back and forth.
"No..."
"How about this?"
"Ouch! Ouch! Stop that..."
Amos breathed a sigh of relief. "You just sprained your ankle. It shouldn't pose too much of a problem. You’ll be fine tomorrow morning after some sleep." After that, he took the first aid kit and wrapped her ankle with bandages.
He then carried her and brought her upstairs.
Eudora looked at him warily. She was still traumatized by the incident that had happened that night. Hence whenever she saw Amos, she would feel inexplicably nervous.
Amos frowned and immediately spat out, "I'm not going to do anything to you!"
Only then did Eudora relax. She rolled to the edge of the bed and fell asleep slowly.
Seeing that Eudora's breathing had gradually calmed down, Amos could not help but laugh bitterly. Was he that scary?
When Eudora woke up the next day, she found that Amos had already left. The bedsheet on Amos’ side was somewhat wrinkled. It was a sign that he had slept there.
Eudora gaped at it blankly for a while. She then got out of bed.
In Valiant East, Clint was ready to report his findings.
