Harley was taking care of his newly- wedded wife attentively at home. They were both having an intimate moment when Amos called.
When Harley heard what Amos said, he was scared out of his wits.
"What did you say? Thea, are you feeling alright?" Harley asked in a panic.
Thea was confused by his question, "I am totally fine!"
"What about the baby then?"
"The baby seems to be fine too..."
Amos' heart wrenched, "Eudora was poisoned! I'll give you thirty minutes to find out who had poisoned her at your banquet!"
"What the f*ck!" Harley stood up from his seat, "Which f*cker is this? How dare he harm Eudora? I'll look into it right away! Is Eudora alright?"
Amos had already hung up the phone.
He was annoyed. He felt an urge to pick up a cigarette and light it up. However, he stopped when he remembered that he was at a hospital.
He took some time to compose himself before walking back to the ward.
"I'm sorry, Doctor Leon," Amos apologized.
He was so anxious just now that he had lost his temper. However, the apology was only meant for
Doctor Leon.
Doctor Leon understood his concerns and merely shook his head, "I understand your current situation. Don't worry about it."
At this moment, they heard footsteps coming from the corridor. A team of people soon arrived at the ward. Doctor Leon hurried over and said, "My friend is here!"
As soon as Doctor Leon's friend arrived at the corridor, he attracted the attention of the many doctors and nurses of the hospital.
That doctor, Ronald Chilton, was the most famous physician in Rosaville City. He had just published a medical thesis about internal medicine last month.
Netizens were discussing it on the Internet with great interest.
Many of the public had seen him on the television before, however, none of them would've thought that they would be able to see him in person today. Without a doubt, this had stirred up conversations on the floor at the moment.
Amos frowned. "Charlie..."
Before he could even finish his words, a black shadow had already rushed in out of nowhere and blocked the nosy doctors and nurses.
They could barely see Doctor Chilton, and his figure disappeared after a moment.
"I wonder who's that powerful to be able to hire such a legendary doctor!"
The first thing that Doctor Chilton did was to view Eudora's medical history and conducting a comprehensive examination of her.
He then said,
"She was indeed poisoned. Mr. Leon, your judgment is right. I just examined her thoroughly. Is she pregnant? If she is, I suggest that she should terminate the pregnancy as soon as possible so that we would be able to treat her."
Doctor Chilton's words hit hard. The ward fell into silence instantly.
Eudora frowned and she immediately refused, "I don't want to terminate the pregnancy!"
She had started to accept the child in her belly after regaining her memories gradually. This child had become a part of her. It had grown much for the past few months and it had gone through a lot with her.
She couldn't believe that he wanted her to stop the pregnancy all of a sudden. The fetus was already four months along and it could already move and kick around!
Amos stood still. He clenched his fists silently before loosening them slowly.
After a while, he said, "Terminate the pregnancy."
He could lose anything, but he could never lose Eudora.
"No!" Eudora backed up to the headboard unknowingly. She curled her back tightly against the bedframe. She was trying to hide, but this made her baby bump even more prominent.
