My Second Husband novel Chapter 180

Hearing Juju's words, both Eudora and Amos were stunned.

The woman wanted to say something, but the crowd were already beginning to point and gossip.

"What's wrong with the society these days? The poor family can't even be left alone to spend time and shop together in peace."

"That's right. Do you think that you can barge in and destroy other people's families just because you are somewhat pretty? You really ought to be ashamed of yourself."

After being verbally attacked by the crowd, the woman finally couldn't help but grit her teeth and run away sheepishly.

Only then did Eudora sigh in relief and turn to look at Amos, "Are you alright?"

Amos didn't say anything. He lowered his head and glanced at his wheelchair.

Following his gaze, only then did Eudora realize that his wheelchair was stuck in between the drain gaps, and his ankle was injured because of it. Hence, he was unable to get out.

He couldn't bear to have his subordinates see him in such a situation, so he had to wait for her to come and help him.

That was probably the case, wasn't it?

But Eudora continued reeling in her thoughts. He couldn't let his subordinates to see him like this, but he was okay with herself seeing him in this situation?

Now that she was here, she couldn't bear to just leave him be. After she helped him out, she said, "Why don't you come over to my place first? I'll help you sort this out, and then I'll call Clint for you. No one will make fun of you anymore now that you're unstuck," Eudora said reassuringly.

Amos did not know whether to laugh or cry. Did this woman truly think that he had called for her help just because he was afraid someone would laugh at him?

Seeing that he remained silent, Eudora said again, "If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes. Well then, let's head back first!"

To be frank, she wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible because there were too many onlookers watching them. Eudora felt that they were some kind of street show.

In no time, the three of them arrived at Eudora's place. When they got home, Eudora rushed to retrieve the first aid kit and applied medicine on Amos' injured ankle gently.

The service apartment where they lived was quite decent, and they had most of the amenities and daily household supplies that they needed.

After Eudora finished applying medicine and left to put away the first aid kit, Amos quickly created a group chat on WhatsApp, inviting only two other people into it. The group chat had Harley, Clint, and himself. As soon as it was created, he quickly sent out a brief message saying, "If anyone calls both of you, don't answer the call."

Harley immediately replied, "I seem to smell gossip in the air,"

However, Clint was more serious and asked, "President Granger? Did something happen?"

"I'm fine. Just remember what I said."

As soon as he delivered the text, he quickly deleted the group chat in a flash.

He was as quick as lightning. No one would notice that it was there in the first place.

Juju came out with her favourite sandwich in her hands. "Uncle, are you hungry? Here, have my snack."

"Thank you, but I'm not hungry," Amos replied softly, giving her a gentle smile.

Juju nodded and looked at Amos' wound. "Uncle, does your wound hurt? Let me make it all better!"

While the two of them were talking, Eudora quickly made a phone call to Clint. Usually, Clint would immediately answer her call, but weirdly, he did not pick up her calls even after multiple rings. She had no choice but to call Harley.

Similarly, Harley did not answer his phone.

Eudora glanced at Amos and suddenly felt an inexplicable surge of pity.

Over there, Juju was still talking to him. "Uncle, do you have any kids?"

"No, I don't!" Amos said. Amos nodded and took a quick glance at Eudora. Noticing this, Eudora's heart sank and she hurriedly turned her head away.

After thinking for a while, she finally said, "Why don't I send you home? I should still be able to hail a taxi at this hour."

As soon as her words fell, there was suddenly a deafening clap of thunder, signalling that it was about to rain.

What sort of coincidence was that? Last time it was a hailstorm, and now they were expecting rain.

If it weren't for the fact that the weather was beyond anyone's control, Eudora would have thought that Amos was controlling the weather.

The rain came in a hurry, and in just a few minutes, it was pouring heavily outside.
