"Mrs. Granger..." Harley called after her hurriedly.
Eudora frowned and said, "Please don't refer to me that way."
She had clarified about it countless times. Since she was already uncomfortable with it from the very beginning, Eudora knew that she needed to draw a line now.
Harley parted his lips and finally changed the way he referred to her.
"Miss... George."
"Yes, what can I do for you?" Eudora was polite to Harley but she kept her distance.
"Something bad happened," Harley explained in a hurry, "Could you come with me to see Amos? Please?"
Eudora frowned and said, "If it has anything to do with him, then forget it. I have nothing to do with him anymore."
"I know that Amos might have crossed the line, but he has his reasons. He threw up blood the night you left. He has been lying in the hospital for the past week, but his condition is not improving at all. I am begging you, please go and visit him!"
Eudora was surprised. She thought that she did not have any more feelings for him but her heart still skipped a beat when she heard that he had vomited blood. However, she still shook her head. "He should get a doctor if he's sick. I'm just a designer, not a doctor. What's the point of me going? You'd better go back!"
Then, she turned to leave.
Harley stopped her again and said, "Eudora, must I explain it so clearly to you? Think about it, why did he suddenly behave differently? Before Wendy died, she told him that you were the girl who rescued him from the basement. She said a lot of harsh things to him too. Amos was mean to you because he did not know how to look you in the eye anymore. Now that you know the truth, isn't it too harsh to say that he is at fault?"
So that was what happened. Eudora finally understood but she got even angrier. "It was Amos' choice. Since he had chosen to run away from me, then I won't chase after him!"
After that, she seemed to recall something and she continued.
"Oh, by the way, I'm getting married. Don't tell me anything about Amos in the future!"
This time, she really left.
Harley was dumbfounded. What was going on? Why was she getting married so quickly?
He got into his car hurriedly. He needed to tell Amos immediately about this.
Clint Zuckerberg was watching over Amos Granger when Harley suddenly barged into the ward.
"How is he?" Clint shook his head and replied, "Still the same."
Harley was angry and he said, "Did the doctors check on him yet? What did they say?"
"The fever is not going down. The doctor said that it was not a physical problem. The doctor said that we should help him solve whatever problems that were bothering him. Perhaps he would only recover then."
Harley's anger grew.
He pushed Clint away and said with a serious face.
"Amos, I know that you understand the situation too. How much longer are you going to act like this? To be honest, I'm really disappointed in you. If you were like this back in Brooklyn, I would never have befriended you. No matter when or where, you were and will always be a very powerful man to me. Didn't you pull through even when you received news about Eudora's death? Then, why can't you handle this? Why can't you get over it? Eudora doesn't even mind but why can't accept it?"
The man on the bed remained motionless. Meanwhile, Clint quickly pulled Harley away and said, "That's enough, President Granger is still running a fever!"
"Fine, I'll shut up. Do you think I wanted to do this? One last thing, Eudora is getting married to Christopher. You're going to regret it if you continue lying on the bed like this!"
After that, Harley left.
Clint was taken aback. Eudora was getting married? That was so sudden. However, Harley did not look like he was joking. Clint quickly went after Harley and closed the door behind him.
