It seemed that even Eudora herself had realized it. She then loosened her grip slightly. "I'm sorry, I'm just too anxious!"
Amos merely shook his head and replied with a forced smile.
"I'm the one to be blamed."
He looked really upset. Eudora paused for a moment and said,
"Why don't you come over and touch him? He just moved."
Amos did not move, but Eudora took the initiative to reach out, pull his hand and place it on her belly.
The next second, the little guy in her belly seemed to be responding to the touch. It kicked towards Amos' palm.
"It's moving!" Eudora said with a smile on her face.
Amos nodded and replied, "Ah!"
He wanted to be happy, but with the thought of Eudora's imminent suffering in his mind, he really couldn't force a smile.
Harley rushed over later in the evening.
Thea came along with him too as she was worried about Eudora. After all, they were both expectant mothers, hence she could understand Eudora's dilemma. After exchanging greetings, Harley and Amos left the ward.
Harley was first to speak, "I've checked everyone who came to the banquet that day. Most of them are my relatives and friends. There were only two people who appeared without an invitation..."
Harley glanced at Amos. The next second, both of them said the same names at the same time.
"Steven and Kesha."
"Exactly!" Harley nodded and said, "I did not invite both of them. It was very odd for them to appear out of nowhere. I too felt strange at first. However, since they are your brother and Eudora's sister, I had no reason to not let them in. But did they really do it? Isn't that pretty dumb of them?"
It was as though they were walking right into a trap despite knowing the consequences.
Amos remained silent. He had something else on his mind.
Harley knew that he would remain quiet whenever he had something on his mind, hence he didn't say a word and just let him be.
However, Harley was not idle either. He was muttering, "Let's say we put aside Steven and Kesha for the moment. The only people left at the scene are the waiters. However, those waiters were all experienced senior waiters of Rosaville Hotel. At that time, I was worried about Thea's health. Therefore, I asked the person-in-charge of the hotel to assign all the senior staff for the banquet to ensure minimal mistakes. By right, there is no reason for such a thing to happen." "Kesha!" Amos exclaimed suddenly, "Start investigating her first!"
Harley raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why would you suspect her?"
Amos didn't say anything. He just remembered that Kesha had been acting strangely recently, but he could tell that she was trying to catch his attention all of a sudden. At first, he thought that Kesha and Steven just wanted to pull another prank on him.
However, from the looks of it, that didn't seem to be the case.
Amos had always known that Kesha was not a good person. It was certainly possible for her to do such a terrible thing to Eudora just so that she could attract his attention.
Harley was shocked and he blurted out upon seeing Amos' darkened expression,
"No way? Did she try to..."
"Shut up!" Amos stopped him immediately.
Harley snorted, "I guess it's not a good thing for a man to be so handsome after all!"
Amos rolled his eyes at him, effectively shutting Harley up.
All of a sudden, they heard the sound of heavy metal falling on the ground coming from the ward. Amos felt a chill in his spine and ran to the ward frantically.
Doctor Leon stopped them as soon as they arrived at the door.
"It would be better if you stay out here for the moment. Doctor Chilton is giving Eudora her first injection now..."
Just as he finished speaking, they heard the sound of Eudora crying in pain.
Amos' heart sank. He disregarded Doctor Leon's advice, opened the door, and rushed in.
Eudora's first injection was through the pelvis on her back.
