"Eudora, don't be angry. The Old Master may be old but he is still very childish. In fact, he always said that he misses all of you!"
Eudora didn't know what to say.
Bethany stared at Old Master Granger as if she was staring at a child. Eudora felt that the Old Master whom Bethany was talking about was not the same person whom she knew -- the domineering and coldblooded old man in front of her.
Obviously, Amos did not believe it either. The atmosphere instantly became a little awkward.
Old Master Granger coughed, "What nonsense are you talking about?" He then turned to call his assistant, "I've already said that I didn't want to come here, why must you force me then? What's the point of visiting this b*stard? Hurry up and push me back!"
The assistant was speechless.
Wasn't he the one who wanted to come and visit Amos?
However, the assistant dared not reveal his true intentions. He immediately walked over to wheel the Old Master away.
After the Old Master left, Bethany smiled, "Eudora, are you getting used to staying in this place?"
Eudora did not have any lasting impression of Bethany. Yet, she had met with Bethany on several occasions and she seemed like a kind person,. Hence, she replied politely.
"Not too bad!"
"That's great. I was worried that you aren't used to living here. Everything in this room was prepared for Amos when he was here last time. I'm afraid it might not be convenient for you. I'll ask the servants to change it later. Also, Juju is a big girl already. I've arranged a room for her next door..."
"I think there's no need for that," Eudora replied hurriedly.
She used to sleep on the same bed with Juju in the past. Juju had already turned five but she rarely left her mother's side.
Bethany shook her head and said, "This is a must. After all, she is the first grandchild in the Granger family. Anyway, I'll make the necessary arrangements first. I will also add a children's bed in your room. Juju is still a child and she might move around a lot in her sleep. It would be bad if she accidentally kicks Amos' wounds."
After that, she reminded him, "Remember to drink the soup. I don't know if Amos will like it, so just let me know if he doesn't."
After that, she left.
Eudora and Amos exchanged looks of confusion.
Amos pursed his lips. He recalled what he had heard from Doctor Leon earlier. Bethany was also a victim of the arranged marriage between the two families. However, he had never disliked her.
It would be great if they could live in peace like this. A few servants came to redecorate the room in the afternoon. It was prepared according to Amos' liking in the past, but now, they added some feminine touch to it.
They placed a children's bed in the corner of the room as well.
Eudora was a little embarrassed. Why did it feel that she and Amos were deliberately isolating Juju?
Especially from the way Amos was looking at Eudora...
Hmm...
Juju had been playing with Amos for the whole day, so she quickly fell asleep at night.
Eudora wanted to fetch some water for Amos' to wipe himself. However, he shook his head instead, "I want to take a shower."
It was a hot day but he had not showered for days as his wound could not come in contact with water. Eudora frowned, "Why don't you endure it for a few more days?"
Amos shook his head again, "Could you help me with it..."
Eudora was taken aback.
The two of them were once very close but she had never helped him shower before. Suddenly, she felt a little awkward.
"Shall I call a servant for you?"
"Eudora...." Amos gnashed his teeth, "Don't you want to help me shower?" Bitterness tinted his face.
Eudora was helpless and she finally said, "Alright, I'll help you."
Amos' expression softened a little, "Let's get started now then!"
