If it was possible, he would rather be the one who got hurt, not Eudora.
At this moment, he heard a loud noise from inside the bathroom. He quickly snapped back to his senses and knocked on the door.
"Eudora? Eudora?"
There was no response. He started to panic. Why did he do such a silly thing again? She had already lost her faith in life. How could he let her take a shower on her own?
Amos kicked the door open in a hurry. Eudora was soaking herself in the bathtub in the bathroom and she had washed her whole body till it was red. However, she still refused to give up, still desperately rubbing herself.
The sound that Amos had heard earlier was a result of her arm hitting against the wall.
Amos felt a little relieved. Fortunately, she didn't attempt to commit suicide.
However, soon, his heart was torn again. Her skin had begun to bleed. She had rubbed her skin so hard that it started to bleed.
He ran over quickly and held her hand.
"Stop it. You're very clean already!"
Eudora pushed him away and shook her head,. "No, I need to take a bath." "You have been cleaning yourself for a long time, and the water is not clean anymore. Let's do it later, okay? Shall I take you out first?"
Amos tried every possible way to persuade her, but she still refused to leave.
In the end, Amos had no choice but to pick her up forcefully, enduring every kind of resistance from her.
Finally, she was tired of crying. She soon fell asleep and quieted down.
Amos got out of bed again and helped her to get the ointment to apply to her wound. Then, he found a set of blue pajamas for her to change into.
He hoped that she would feel refreshed once she woke up.
He made his way downstairs after everything was done.
Harley and Doctor Leon were still downstairs. They were as exhausted as Amos was. However, Amos was different from them, because he could not allow himself to get tired before Eudora got better.
"Amos, how is it going?" Harley asked.
Amos flashed a wry smile and then looked at Doctor Leon., "The psychiatrist whom you mentioned earlier..."
Eudora was obviously in a terrible condition. Otherwise, they wouldn't have needed a psychiatrist.
Doctor Leon said immediately, "I'll contact him right away." After Doctor Leon left, Harley asked, "Amos, what about Juju..."
He didn't mean to mention it, but Juju was Eudora's daughter. She was still having fun outside happily. If she were to come home and realize that her mother could not recognize her anymore, how could a young girl like her accept that cruel reality?
Amos thought of this too. After all, he was Juju's father.
He pursed his lips, "I've already called Auntie Valerie. They'll be back soon."
Harley nodded.
"Amos, you haven't eaten anything since yesterday."
"I'm not hungry," Amos responded.
"Even so, you still have to eat a little. You're the only person Eudora trusts now. What would she do if you were to collapse too?" Harley asked.
Amos shook his head, "Don't worry, I won't."
Eudora slept through the night, but Amos didn't dare to sleep anymore.
He was afraid that if he would collapse if she disappeared after he woke up.
He watched over her until the day broke.
He watched as she opened her eyes. Her gaze went from the daze of just waking up, to clarity, and then, to despair.
Amos's heart skipped a beat and he greeted her immediately, "Good morning, Eudora. Juju will be back today." When she heard Juju's name, she finally became a little more focused.
Then, she jumped up all of sudden. "I'm going to take a bath."
