After the doctor left, the atmosphere in the ward got even more somber.
But soon, Eudora calmed herself down again. If she was sad, it would only add more burden to Juju's heart.
She took a deep breath and flashed a bright smile.
"It's okay. It's alright if Juju doesn't want to talk. Come on, Mommy will feed you."
Juju began to eat again. Eudora fed her just like how she used to when Juju was younger.
In fact, Juju began eating on her own since she was three years old. Since then, Eudora rarely fed her unless Juju wanted or asked her to.
Therefore, at this moment, Eudora felt an inexplicable warmth.
After all, they were biological mother and daughter, and not long after, their connection and sense of intimacy were established once again.
After she was finished eating, Juju fell asleep in Eudora's arms.
Eudora lay Juju in bed gently and covered her with the quilt. Then, she sat down and stared blankly at Juju.
There was a long moment of silence when Amos' cell phone rang suddenly.
After he glanced at his phone and saw that the call was from Harley, he took his mobile phone and went out.
At the other end, Harley was the first to speak, "I'm sorry, I failed to do the job that you had given me."
"What's wrong?"
Harley gritted his teeth. "When I was about to arrest the kidnapper, someone rushed out all of a sudden and knocked me out. I just regained consciousness, and the person had already disappeared!"
As he said that, Harley let out a hiss of obvious annoyance.
Amos frowned. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine! But I found something!"
"What?"
"I found a shirt button that came loose from the person who had knocked me out, and I sent it to get tested for fingerprints. We could only know who the person is after we cross-checked it with our data."
"Alright!" Amos nodded and said, "Are there any good psychologists at your police station? It'll be great if you recommend some experts!"
"What happened?" Harley asked hurriedly.
"Juju is a little traumatized."
"D*mn it! When I catch that b*stard, I'll kill him!" Harley couldn't help swearing. "Just give me a moment. I'll bring someone over as soon as I can."
After hanging up the phone, Amos walked back into the ward.
When Eudora saw that he had come back, she said, "If you are busy, you can leave. I can take care of Juju!"
"I'm not busy!" Amos answered, but as soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang again.
This time, it was Clint who called. It was only then that Amos realized it was nearly dawn. He had not slept all night and did not go to work.
He picked it up immediately, "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Granger, you have an important meeting that can't be rescheduled. You see..."
Amos frowned, and Eudora said, "Go ahead! Don't delay your work because of us."
Amos suddenly grinned. "Do you really care about my work, or do you just want me to leave?"
Eudora paused for a moment and did not reply.
Seeing her lowering her head, Amos felt a little upset. He thought that since Juju loved him so much, she would be slightly more considerate.
However, it seemed that she was still resisting him.
