"Amos, you..."
However, the man immediately wrapped his arms around her and urged, "Go to sleep."
He might have asked her to sleep but he, on the other hand, kept looking at her face as if he could not get enough of it.
Eudora felt a chill run down her spine as he stared at her. She quickly reached out to cover his eyes.
"Stop looking at me!
"Who am I going to look at if not you?"
"You should go and admire those beautiful women! There are so many of them out there!"
"But they are not as good-looking as you are."
Eudora was speechless.
However, he eventually stopped staring at her. Eudora lay on the bed and fell asleep after a while.
Eudora was hospitalized for over a month because of her fractured bone. On the other hand, Amos was discharged after two weeks. However, apart from having to go to work every day, he treated Eudora's ward as his home.
This had caused a little trouble for Eudora. Whenever she stepped out of her ward, some random strangers would approach her. "Miss George, your husband is so nice!"
Even though she had denied repeatedly and said that Amos was not her husband, no one believed her.
Finally, Eudora could not take it anymore after a month and she insisted on getting discharged.
She consulted the doctor, who in turn, told her that she was recuperating well. The doctor also mentioned that she would be fine as long as she stayed away from lifting heavy goods and continued to rest at home.
Amos was relieved to hear that. He immediately arranged for her to leave the hospital.
They finished the paperwork in the next morning.
Amos arranged for a driver to send Eudora back to Clearwater Bay. Eudora, who had been holed up in the hospital ward for the past month, was extremely excited. It was as if she was a bird that just got out of its cage.
She kept staring out of the window.
She could even tell which house was renovated or decorated.
Amos did not know what to do with her so he told Juju, "Keep an eye on your Mommy. Don't let her fall."
Juju sighed and her expression said it all: "Mommy, you're so naughty."
Eudora was speechless.
This pair of father and daughter! Auntie Valerie had already prepared a table full of delicious food when they got home.
She seemed happier than Eudora when she realized that Amos and Eudora had made up.
Suddenly, the house phone rang when they were eating. Auntie Valerie rushed over to pick up the call.
Meanwhile, Amos had already put a slice of roast lamb onto Eudora's plate and said, "Your favorite!"
At this moment, Auntie Valerie had returned to the table, but her face was a little pale.
"What's wrong?"
"It's..." Auntie Valerie paused and looked at Eudora, who was chewing on the slice of roast lamb. Her cheeks were moving in a rhythmic motion and she looked extremely adorable.
Amos could not help but reach out to wipe the stain off the corner of her mouth. "Go on."
"It's a phone call from the prison. They mentioned that Miss Liam is looking for you."
Wendy?
Amos frowned and said, "Tell her that we've ended our ties and I don't want to see her anymore!"
He placed another slice of roast lamb on Eudora's plate, "You should eat more."
Eudora did not speak. She would not want to see Wendy either if he was Amos!
Auntie Valerie nodded and went to deliver Amos' message. Amos was about to head to work after the meal when Eudora grabbed her bag and caught up to him.
He suddenly stopped in his tracks and Eudora crashed into his back.
"Ouch.." She hurriedly covered her nose and said, "Why did you suddenly stop?"
"Why are you following me?"
"I'm going to work!" She had been absent from work for a month and she wanted to know how that project was coming along.
"You're not going!" Amos' face changed instantly and he continued, "Didn't you hear what the doctor said? You need to rest!"
Before Eudora could retort, Amos had already picked her up.
Juju covered her eyes hurriedly with her hands while Auntie Valerie watched them with a smile on her face.
Eudora was at a loss of words.
