In the evening, Amos Granger was still angry after Juju left.
He ignored Eudora when she tried talking to him. He got even angrier especially after he saw the X-ray which was brought over by the doctor.
"What were you thinking? How could you use your leg to do that?"
Eudora George frowned, "I couldn't stop the wheelchair."
In fact, Amos knew that it was pointless getting angry with her. She was right. However, he couldn't blame the Old Master either. Perhaps someone had set the Old Master up.
Both of them were his loved ones. It didn't matter whether it was the Old Master or Eudora who got injured because he would be upset either way.
The sense of helplessness caused him to collapse.
Amos took a deep breath, but he still could not get rid of the anger. Finally, he got up and went out to find a smoking area. He then took out a cigarette and lit it up.
Eudora understood his feelings. However, at this moment, she did not dare to follow after him. If she were to hurt her feet further, he would only get even angrier, wouldn't he?
She had no choice but to take her mobile phone out and give Harley Louis a call. Harley was Amos' good friend. Perhaps, Amos would feel better after talking to him.
When Harley answered the phone, he was having a good time with Thea Stewart. After that night, it seemed as though sparks were flying between them. Recently, Harley had been spending all his time with Thea.
Especially at this moment, in order to pick Thea up, Harley went to a place where he knew he was not welcomed.
This place was dangerous for him.
Because of his job, Harley had often offended notorious gang members. He was currently standing in the gang's territory.
When Harley arrived, his every movement was being watched. Harley realized it, but he was certain that nobody would dare to touch him.
He pretended not to notice them and accompanied Thea into the stores.
As they walked through the streets, more than a dozen gangsters with tools started following them covetously.
Thea was also used to this. When she saw what was happening, she was quite calm and she even got a little excited.
"Harley, are you alright? Why do I feel like I'm in a gangster movie? It's quite romantic."
Harley said helplessly, "If I tell you that those people are actually gangsters, will you still think that it is romantic?" Thea's smile didn't fade away, "You're a liar. You've been lying to me all along. I won't believe you!"
"I'm telling the truth!" Harley's expression was serious. When Thea saw the expression on his face, she finally believed it. She suddenly lowered her voice. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? What did you do to provoke them?"
Harley smiled faintly. "I arrested their boss..."
Thea was stunned, "D*mn you! You are going to get me killed! We have to run away now!"
"Why do we have to run?" Harley took her into his arms. His iron-like arms hugged her tightly. At that moment, she felt inexplicably at ease.
The nervousness in Thea's heart immediately dissipated. She calmed down and said, "There are still shops further ahead. Let's go and have a look."
The people behind them followed them for a long time. Originally, they thought Harley was there to arrest them, but later, they realized that he was on a date.
Therefore, they relaxed a little.
Unexpectedly, as they relaxed, Harley's phone rang. They raised their sticks again hurriedly and looked at him covetously.
Harley was not afraid at all. He even pushed a tool that was in his way aside.
"Eudora, what's up?"
It was Eudora's voice, "Harley, are you free now? I am at Hospital. I need your help. Could you come by here? Amos seems to be in a bad mood..." His best friend was in a bad mood. Harley nodded immediately, "I'll be there soon."
