Eudora was met with Amos' worried eyes as soon as she woke up the next morning.
She could clearly tell that he had been staring at her belly, as though fearing that something terrible would happen to it.
He averted his gaze hastily and caressed her forehead.
"You're awake. How do you feel? Does your belly hurt?"
He had gotten a little too excited the night before. Even though he had tried his best to restrain himself, he had pressed on her hand accidentally in the end. She cried out in pain, which made his heart drop.
Eudora assured him that it was fine, yet he couldn't help but worry.
He checked every inch of her body as soon as she fell asleep just to make sure that she was fine. He even wiped her before lying back on the bed.
However, he didn't dare to sleep after lying back on the bed. For some reason, he felt as though he had committed a crime, and that she would disappear if he happened to close his eyes.
Eudora rubbed her eyes. She felt refreshed and her body was perfectly fine!
"I'm fine!" She then tried to prop herself up from the bed. Amos rushed over to hold her almost
instantly, "Easy, I'll help you."
His words reminded Eudora of the things he had said the night before. She could feel her cheeks warming up, "It's okay. I could still walk by myself."
However, she had gotten up from the bed a tad bit quickly and forgotten that her legs were still sore. She almost fell.
Fortunately, Amos reacted fast and held her in a nick of time.
"How is that fine? Forget it. Stay in bed and rest. I'll get Cindy to bring you breakfast."
Eudora was dumbfounded, "I really am fine. It doesn't make sense for me to stay in bed for the whole day. I had just gotten up a little too quickly just now! Didn't you have a lot to deal with in the company? Hurry up and get to work!"
Amos frowned, "I had already asked Clint to send the documents here. I'm not going to the office today!"
Eudora rubbed her temples, "You don't have to do that! It's not a big deal. It's embarrassing if everyone hears about this! You'd better leave quickly, else I'll get mad!"
Only after Eudora used her trump card did Amos comply.
"I'm heading off to work then. Call me immediately if you need anything,"
"Alright, go!" Eudora got up and kissed him on the cheek once she saw that he was finally leaving, "Come home early." Amos patted the top of her head and promised, "Okay!"
Eudora's legs were still a little sore, so she went to lay on the bed for a while longer after Amos left.
Eudora checked her email after breakfast. It had been two days since she sent the design blueprints, so there should be a reply by now.
Sure enough, she received a reply.
The other party said that they were very satisfied with her design and decided to let her carry on with the project. Eudora finally felt relieved. She moved the cactus on the table and worked for two hours.
Amos decided to head home during lunch break.
Eudora's menu was customized in accordance with the requirements of the nutritionist. It included various vitamins daily. It was an unwritten rule by Amos that she had to finish all her food for every meal.
Eudora hated eating vegetables the most. She usually had to finish them because Amos demanded her to. However, she could just push them aside if Amos was not home for lunch.
