When Eudora woke up the next morning, she felt her belly being carefully embraced in someone's arms before she could even open her eyes.
She opened her eyes instantly and saw that Amos was sleeping soundly beside her.
Eudora was stunned. Didn't he say he couldn't sleep with her last night because the bed was too small?
"Good morning!" Amos opened his eyes and greeted.
Seeing that Eudora was confused, he proceeded to explain, "I asked the nurse to change to a bigger bed last night." Eudora scanned the bed carefully. It really seemed that the bed had been changed to a bigger one...
At this moment, a nurse came by and said politely, "Miss George, please allow me to take your body temperature reading."
Amos went to the washroom to wash up. After he left, the nurse looked at Eudora enviously and praised, "Miss George, you're so blessed. I've never stumbled upon a family member who requested a change of a bigger bed in the VIP ward!"
Eudora was speechless.
She was flustered and embarrassed.
The nurse then whispered, "Oh no, why hasn't your fever subsided yet?"
Eudora was stunned and she asked, "Is everything okay?"
She didn't feel much of a difference. She almost felt the same as the day before, a little light-headed and feverish.
"It's fine..." The nurse shook her head and responded in a hurry, "Just have some rest."
The nurse then left the room with the equipment in her hands.
Not long after, Doctor Chilton and Doctor Leon all came in and examined Eudora thoroughly.
A bad feeling brewed within her.
"Is there something wrong with me?"
Doctor Chilton looked very calm and he answered, "Everything's fine. It's just a checkup for us to prescribe a better medicine for you. By the way, did you often get sick when you were a child?"
Eudora didn't deny it and answered him without hesitation.
"Yes, I heard from my father that I had poor health when I was a child. I often caught colds and had fevers. I was basically a frequent visitor to hospitals!"
Doctor Chilton frowned but he immediately replied with a smile.
"I see. Don't worry. Just have some rest. Well make a move for now."
Amos looked at Doctor Chilton's retreating back doubtfully and went on to follow him out.
"What's exactly going on?"
Eudora was more important than his own life. It was impossible for him not to suspect something when even Eudora had noticed it herself.
Doctor Chilton's expression turned pale. He explained, "Mrs. Granger's case of poisoning is really rare. We had initially diagnosed that she was only affected by mild poisoning. The fever should've been gone by this morning upon taking the antidote. However, the nurse realized that her fever had persisted. Mrs. Granger also said that she often had colds when she was a child. I now suspect that her body has been damaged due to the frequent use of medicine from the past. With the current poisoning situation, it might get out of control..."
Amos trembled and he asked worriedly, "What do you mean by out of control?"
"That is..." Doctor Chilton, who had always been an experienced doctor, couldn't help but feel anxious at this time.
"The toxin may have already invaded her internal organs."
Amos stumbled upon hearing this news. He clenched his teeth and looked at Doctor Chilton.
"You're kidding me, right?"
"Mr. Granger, I'm not kidding. However, this is only my preliminary diagnosis. I'll go back and test it on a new medicine," Doctor Chilton responded.
Doctor Leon, who was beside him, also said, "Amos, I understand how you feel right now. We never wanted this situation to escalate this way either."
After a short pause, Doctor Chilton continued to speak again.
"President Granger, I have another question for you. If, I mean if, if we couldn't treat Mrs. Granger, about the baby..."
