"Call the doctor here right now!"
Harley rushed to support Amos, who was shaking his head. "Go and get your blood drawn. Don't worry about me."
"You're hurt. Do you think I'm going to leave you like this?" Harley retorted. However, Amos was right. Eudora was in danger too.
Fortunately, Clint arrived just in time and Harley quickly passed Amos to him before going into the operating room with the nurse.
Eudora had a dream. It was still the same dark basement, but this time, everything seemed clearer.
It was not as hazy as it used to be. In fact, she could see each item and each face in the basement clearly.
The little faces which were filled with fear and stained with tears, as well as the terrible woman with a mask. And, Fae...
Even Wendy.
Eudora looked at them one by one and walked down the stairs into the abyss.
Suddenly, a spotlight appeared in front of her. A bloodied teenage boy was tied to the spot and the masked woman was slowly slashing his button with a knife. The teenage boy struggled desperately but the sharp knife cut through his flesh and blood started trickling down...
Eudora's heart sank. She shouted hurriedly, "Stop."
The masked woman vanished in an instant. It was replaced by the teenage boy's disgusted face. "Get out of my way. I don't need your help."
She parted her lips to call his name but nothing came out.
It was Amos!
All of the sudden, the teenage boy bit her arm. She looked at the bite mark blankly. Without warning, the teenage boy shouted, "Be careful!"
Something swooshed through the air behind her but before she could turn around, she felt a whip landing on her back with a loud slap.
It hurt...
Suddenly, Eudora opened her eyes and stared at the white ceiling above her.
"Eudora, you're finally awake. It was worth donating all my blood to you," Harley stood by the bed and said.
"But really, Eudora, you leave me with no words. You're a woman and yet you tried to save Amos back there. Didn't you think about yourself at all? You must have saved Amos several times now, haven't you?"
Harley's words seemed to bring Eudora back to reality, and the events that had transpired before she passed out, flashed by in front of her. "How's Amos?"
"He..." Harley wanted to speak but stopped on second thought and said, "He's fine!"
Eudora was doubtful. Therefore, Harley quickly changed the topic and said, "Oh, by the way, Caleb and Wendy have been arrested. They have caused such a huge ruckus this time and I don't think anyone can save them now!"
"Oh!"
They brought it upon themselves. Eudora did not think that they were worth her sympathy.
"Does Amos know?" She suddenly asked. After all, he had always thought that it was Wendy who had saved him.
"He..." Harley paused and then continued with a smile, "Eudora, you're jealous!"
Eudora could not help but roll her eyes at him, "Why do I need to be jealous? That is between them both and it's none of my business. Besides, there is nothing between me and Amos."
"Really?" Harley was filled with disbelief. He continued, "I wonder who it was that tried so hard to save Amos. Yet, now she's saying that there's nothing between them! Forget it, let's not talk anymore. I feel like you're flexing your relationship with Amos by just talking to you. I'm going to talk to some pretty nurses! Bye!"
Eudora was speechless.
Shortly after Harley left, Eudora frowned and tried to recall her dream.
However, she knew clearly that it was not a dream. At the same time, in the operating room.
The surgeons were still doing their best to save Amos.
Clint was standing outside the operating room, seemingly hoping that he could see what was going on inside.
At this moment, Old Master Granger was wheeled by his assistant from the other side of the corridor. "How did he end up like this? Clint, explain it to me immediately,"
