My Second Husband novel Chapter 225

"Is it too fast?" Christopher said with a smile, "Or, are you afraid?"

Eudora pursed her lips and she said, "No, I just feel that it's a little too sudden, but it's alright. In fact, marriage is not supposed to be so complicated. It's just a procedure for us to get a marriage certificate, right?"

Christopher nodded. He said, "I'm sorry. We'll hold a grand ceremony again in the future if we have the chance to."

At that moment, Eudora felt that something was off.

She lowered her head and she saw Juju sitting there alone expressionlessly. No one knew what Juju was thinking about.

Eudora called her hurriedly, "Juju, what's wrong?"

Juju shook her head and she seemed dejected. Eudora sighed. She reached out to hold Juju in her arms.

For the first time ever, Juju came up with the idea of sleeping alone at night.

Eudora refused at first, but all of a sudden, Juju said, "You will not be sleeping with me anymore after you get married, right? I should get used to it then!"

The simple sentence popped out of the child's mouth, but it made Eudora inexplicably sad. Eudora hugged her instantly. She said, "No, Mommy will always be with Juju."

"Forget it!" Juju said. She pushed Eudora away and went to the room next door.

Eudora followed Juju silently. Her heart ached when she saw Juju's small body lying on the bed alone.

She waited for Juju to fall asleep before going over to lie down on the bed with her daughter. She then fell asleep with Juju in her arms.

In the middle of the night, Eudora was awakened by the heat coming from Juju.

She got up hurriedly to turn on the lamp and found a thermometer to measure Juju's temperature.

It was 39.5 degrees and that was considered high for a child.

She hurried downstairs, but at that time, it was impossible for her to call a cab. She was about to call Christopher when a familiar car pulled over in front of her.

"What's wrong?"

Eudora was taken aback. She saw Amos' tired face through the window and he seemed to have lost a lot of weight. It was strange for him to be here in the middle of the night.

Amos asked again when Eudora did not speak. "What's wrong?"

"Juju has a fever and I need to send her to the hospital immediately," Eudora replied. It was an emergency and she had no time to waste, so she quickly put their grudge aside. Juju was much more important. Amos opened the door hurriedly and said, "Get in the car! I know a children's hospital nearby. I'll send you there immediately."

Eudora nodded and got into the car immediately.

On the way, she could not help but ask, "Why were you in front of my house?"

Amos gave a wry smile. He said, "Is it too late for me to regret now? I finally realized that watching you getting married to someone else is far more torturing than missing you desperately..."

He had never shown his weakness before. Eudora frowned and she said, "Since you have made your choice, you should not regret it."

Suddenly, Juju, who was in her arms, cried out in her sleep, "Mommy..."

Eudora immediately snapped out of her thoughts and held Juju tightly. "Mommy is here, don't be afraid."

"Mommy..." Juju spoke again as if she was trying to tell Eudora something. Eudora leaned closer to her to hear what she had to say. The next second, she froze.

Amos Granger stepped on the accelerator and they arrived at the hospital shortly after.

They went to the emergency department immediately and the doctor explained that Juju needed to be hospitalized. Therefore, Eudora was busy going through the paperwork in the middle of the night.

When Eudora returned, she noticed that Juju, who seemed to be tormented by the fever, was crying. On the other hand, Amos was pacing around the ward with Juju in his arms.
