My Second Husband novel Chapter 239

Doctor Leon did not realize that Amos did not know about the incident.

He then took advantage of the time to begin preparing his tools. He had previously checked on Amos' wound and the bullet did not hit any vital parts in his body. Therefore, it should not be a big surgery.

Doctor Leon helped Amos to disinfect his wound and tried to divert his attention at the same time.

"Your father was as stubborn as you are. Didn't he tell you that? In fact, your father was very reluctant to have you and your mother sent to the United States. He initially had an arranged marriage with the Hamilton family and there was no affection between him and his wife. At that time, he was already preparing to file a divorce."

"However, Valiant East suddenly had a crisis and only the Hamilton family could help them with it. Yet, at that time, your father already had your mother."

"Your father refused your grandfather's arrangement. Your grandfather had no choice but to secretly send your mother away. However, your father eventually found out about it. He went after them and even fought with the people who sent your mother away. In the end, he was covered with bruises. Your grandfather asked me to treat him but he refused. He asked your grandfather to hand over your mother instead..."

At that moment, Doctor Leon was also done with the disinfection.

Then, he picked up the scalpel and tweezers.

Amos was so immersed in the story and he could not help but ask, "What happened after that?"

"Your grandfather refused to hand your mother over. To be honest, the father- son relationship in your family are all very similar, but your grandfather was the cruelest one among them. Your father was dying, yet he just watched, refusing to hand over your mother. Instead, he went to find your mother and let her see how your father was willing to die for her."

When he got to this point, Doctor Leon sighed, "Your mother was a good woman. In the end, she told your grandfather that she only wanted your father's money and that she had never liked him. After that, she disappeared."

"Now that I think about it, she may have been pregnant with you at that time, but she did not mention it to your father."

When he finished the story, Doctor Leon heaved a sigh of relief and said, "The bullet has been removed."

Amos nodded. He did not make any sound but the sweat on his forehead showed that it was a pain that not many could handle.

Juju was still reciting the alphabets outside the room and her childish voice pulled Amos back to his senses. Doctor Leon smiled, "It seems like you did not walk the same path as your father."

Amos forced a smile but his heart was in a mess.

Meanwhile, Eudora had been staring at the door and her heart was in a mess too.

At that time, she did not expect that Amos would hurt himself when he said that he could not bear hearing Juju cry. If only she knew what he was going to do, she might have been able to stop it...

Behind her, Old Master Granger's mood was not much better. His face was dark and he looked very frightening.

After that, the door was opened and Doctor Leon walked out with relief, "Everything is fine now."

Everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Eudora entered hurriedly with Juju. The Old Master was so angry that he gritted his teeth behind her. "Where are your manners? Did I give you permission to go inside?"

However, no one paid any attention to him.

Amos, who was lying on the bed, had changed his clothes and covered himself with a quilt. Doctor Leon had kept away the tools he had used for the surgery and there was no trace of blood in the room. If it wasn't for Amos' pale face, no one would have guessed what had happened.

However, Eudora's eyes were still red. She scolded him, "You can't do this again, otherwise, I will ignore you for the rest of your life!" The corner of Amos' lips were curled and he laughed, "You look good when you're angry."

Eudora was speechless.

Juju immediately covered her eyes and said, "Shy."

"Don't you know what's going on? How could you still say that?" Eudora put Juju down on the ground, "Take a quick nap. I'll accompany you."

Amos was indeed exhausted. He reached out to hold Eudora's arm and fell into a deep slumber.

When the Old Master entered, Amos was already asleep. He heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed that Amos was breathing evenly. However, his face immediately darkened when he noticed Amos holding Eudora's arm.

"B*stard! B*stard!"
