Eudora George.
A woman from Rosaville City...
One by one, all the criteria in the boxes were ticked.
Was it really Eudora? Was she also in that basement years ago?
Harley suddenly remembered what Eudora had asked him in the car that day. Did she really know?
However, if that was the case, why didn't Eudora recognize Wendy and Amos?
Harley frowned and continued to search for more information. However, he seemed to have hit a dead end.
There were some records of the other witnesses after they were rescued from the basement. However, there weren't any of Eudora's record once she was rescued.
Harley stared at the information for a while. An idea suddenly hit him.
However, the idea disappeared as soon as it came.
After that, he skipped Eudora's number and started calling the other witnesses.
Amos woke up the next day but he was still weak. He immediately asked about Eudora. Harley promised him, saying, "Don't worry. I'm looking after her. But I'm curious, why don't you want Eudora to know about this? If she knew that you were willing to give up your life for her, wouldn't she be touched?"
Amos shook his head and said, "She doesn't like to owe anyone anything! Besides, I hope that if she eventually stays with me, it would be because she wanted to, and not because she was obligated or for some other reasons."
Harley sighed and said, "Urgh, fine!"
Amos did not bother to pay attention to him. "Any progress on Caleb's case?"
"Oh! Well, Caleb is sentenced to death and Wendy..." Harley trailed off.
Amos frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I wanted to make sure that you no longer have a soft spot for her! From the looks of it, it doesn't look like you do anymore! She was sentenced to thirty years in prison. She'll be an old lady when she comes out, so she probably won't be able to cause any trouble anymore."
She was initially sentenced to ten years in prison but now it had been increased to thirty years due to her own doing.
"Alright!" Amos replied. He closed his eyes once again.
Harley didn't know what to say.
"What are you doing? Didn't you just wake up? Why are you sleeping again?"
"I need to restore my energy as soon as possible, that way, I can go over and visit her..." Her? Harley rolled his eyes. Clint Zuckerberg immediately chimed in, "It's Miss George!"
"Do I look that oblivious? I'm not stupid! I just can't stand you flexing about your girlfriend! Humph!" Harley then closed the door behind him and left.
It was better not to mention about Eudora's past. As long as the two of them could lead a happy life in the future, then the past would no longer matter!
Eudora had a puncture to her spleen caused by her fractured bone, which led to internal bleeding in her body. Hence, she needed a long time to recover. However, she was getting a little bored from just lying on the bed.
Fortunately, Auntie Valerie brought Juju over to visit her. Juju was feeling much better and she rarely cried anymore. However, she was still unwilling to speak.
Juju was worried when she saw her mother lying on the hospital bed. Her little hand refused to let go of Eudora.
She only felt a little better after Eudora comforted her gently.
"I'm really sorry to have troubled you, Auntie Valerie. You could ask Amos to take care of Juju if there's too much on your plate."
Auntie Valerie paused and shook her head hurriedly. "Mr. Granger went on a business trip. Don't worry, I'm not very busy, so I can take care of Juju."
A business trip?
Eudora nodded and said, "Then you can leave Juju with me tonight! I will take care of her!"
"It's really fine!" Auntie Valerie smiled and said, "Don't worry!"
"Alright, please look after Juju then!"
The two of them stayed with Eudora for the whole afternoon before finally leaving in the evening.
