Eudora was a little dispirited. She put on her clothes as she couldn't fit into the dress.
At this moment, Juju came running into the room. She looked at the box in front of Eudora excitedly.
"Mommy, is there anything yummy inside the box?"
Eudora flipped through the box and saw that there were indeed a few fruit-flavored candies inside the box. She usually would not allow Juju to eat candy at home as she was worried that it would lead to dental cavities.
After all, a healthy set of teeth had always been considered very important to a girl. If Juju's teeth were decayed, it would affect her appearance in the future.
However, that didn't seem to be the case for today. It was a wedding candy, and there were only a few in the box, hence, she didn't say much.
"Here you go, two candies!"
Juju took them happily. There were a few candies left at the bottom of the box. Eudora picked them up and ate them.
The candy was slightly tart, which suited her taste very much.
All of a sudden, she was reminded that sourness would decay the teeth. She then reminded Juju again, "Don't eat too much, it's too sour!"
Juju shook her head and said, "It's not sour!" Eudora wondered if her taste had changed.
Eudora's fever, which had initially subsided, came back all of a sudden in the middle of the night. She didn't want Amos to find out about it and make a scene all night. Hence, she went to meet Helen alone.
Helen was staying in the guest room downstairs. After checking up on her, Helen gave her a few words of advice.
"Everything's fine, but your body's immune system is probably not strong enough. You must complete the antibiotics that were prescribed to you by the doctor from the hospital last time. You could also eat some of the mild cold medicines that I've prescribed for you before! That way, your immune system could be strengthened as well."
Eudora asked worriedly, "Will the medicine affect the baby in any way?"
"No, it won't!" Helen shook her head, "It's just a small dosage. It'll be fine!"
Eudora sighed in relief. She was afraid that Amos would keep on nagging her since she had taken a trip out. She took the cold medicine in Helen's room before heading back to the room.
Her temperature seemed to have reduced significantly after taking the medicine.
She felt completely fine when Amos started massaging her legs later that night. Amos was no longer as anxious as he was before, and he soon fell asleep with her in his arms.
At midnight, Amos was awakened by the burning heat of the person in his arms. It felt as though Eudora's body was in flames.
The fever seemed to make her feel a little dizzy. Her mind was muddled and she couldn't seem to wake up.
Amos got out of bed frantically and measured her body temperature with a thermometer. It was only for a brief moment, but the temperature had already soared to about forty degrees.
He went downstairs to call Helen hastily and came back quickly to check on Eudora.
Helen was also shocked by Eudora's condition once she entered the room.
She had done a check-up on her just now. There was nothing wrong with her. Moreover, she had already taken cold medicine. How could she have ended up like this all of a sudden?
Seeing that Helen was stunned, Amos shouted all of a sudden, "Why are you still standing there and doing nothing? Hurry up and treat her!"
Helen was shocked. Amos, who had been smiling at her the day before, seemed to have transformed into a completely different person now. She felt a little hurt by his sudden reaction.
However, treating Eudora was the highest priority now. Helen gathered her thoughts quickly.
"The situation is urgent. I'm afraid that I'll have to give Mrs. Granger a full- body examination to diagnose her condition accurately. This illness is very strange. I suspect that it may not be just an ordinary cold..."
