"Madam, but if we don't inject her with sedatives, she will most likely hurt herself."
Eudora still couldn't make up her mind. Looking at Juju's condition, she was afraid that if she took the sedatives, she might have to rely on it in the future as well. How could she allow it?
Juju was only five years old, and she still had a bright future ahead of her!
Thinking of this, Eudora hurriedly called her name. "Juju, Mommy is here. Be a good girl, please don't make a fuss, alright?"
To her utter dismay, Juju shook her head and looked at Eudora blankly, familiar yet strange.
Outside the door, Amos had his wounds wrapped up. When he arrived at the door of the ward, he heard noises coming from inside.
Stunned and anxious, he hurriedly went into the room. At a glance, he saw the room in a total mess, and a group of people was surrounding Juju.
Amos frowned and shouted, "What are you all doing?"
Hearing this, Juju, who had been looking for something just now, quickly came back to her senses and stared at Amos. The next second, she ran over and threw herself into Amos' arms.
Amos was shocked. He did not expect that Juju had been looking for him.
He was not the only one. Eudora was shocked as well. It didn't occur to her that Juju would be this dependent on Amos.
However, the doctor next to them smiled. "If this is the case, my guess is the child must be looking for her father since she felt overly terrified. This is a sign of a lack of security. Usually, as long as her father is often around, she will slowly recover!"
"He's not the child's father," Eudora said.
The doctor was stunned, and then he grinned awkwardly. "Even if he is not the child's father, she seems to trust him a lot. Is she raised by a single parent?"
Eudora glanced at Amos and nodded. "Yes!"
"Then I can see why. Children from a single-parent family tend to feel a little insecure. You wouldn't normally see it daily. But after having gone through such a traumatic experience, the fear in her heart got magnified."
"Then what should we do?" Eudora asked hurriedly, "Is there anything else we can try?"
The doctor was stunned for a moment and circled between Eudora and Amos. He thought, "These two are blessed with good looks and look like a match made in heaven. However, it seems that the woman is resisting the man."
He hesitated and said, "Maybe you could consider consulting a psychologist."
Eudora nodded. "Oh, alright. Thank you!"
When the doctor realized that things have calmed down and he had nothing further to do, he went out. Eudora immediately went up to Juju. "Juju, Uncle is tired, please don't do this. Can you let Uncle rest for a while?"
Probably because Amos was here, Juju's mood was much better. She was not as agitated as before, so she wiggled out of Amos' arms as told.
Eudora breathed an instant sigh of relief. She thought that her daughter didn't recognize her or want her anymore. Fortunately, she was still willing to get close to her Mommy.
She hurriedly held Juju in her arms, and the tension in Eudora's heart gradually calmed down.
"Juju, come on, let's lie on the bed for a while. Are you hungry? I can go and get some nice food for you."
Juju didn't move but merely looked at Amos, which ignited a surge of warmth inside him. Although Amos didn't know why Juju suddenly relied on him so much, he was really happy to be needed by the little princess.
The next second, Juju ran back to Amos and held his hand. Amos was stunned. She pulled on his hand and walked over to Eudora.
Eudora was helpless. Juju had been referring to Amos as her father for a long time. Was she taking this opportunity to be their matchmaker?
However, looking at her smiling face who was shocked and traumatized hours ago, Eudora did not have the heart to refuse her. She thought, "I'll just let her do whatever she wants for now."
