Amos had already gone over to the office as Karen seemed to have some serious and urgent matters to speak to him. Karen stormed at him furiously upon his arrival.
"When you were away, Mr. Hamilton came to the construction site constantly to give us unnecessary work. Do you see all those useless materials at the front? They were all brought in by him!"
Amos frowned and took a deep breath.
He did not see the need to come all the way here for such a trivial matter. He was so close to losing his temper.
However, he recalled what Eudora said the other day. She told him not to lose his temper all the time.
He had to keep his promise, hence, he gradually calmed himself down. He looked at the scraps of metal and asked, "Did he say what they were for?"
"He did! He said that they're for us! But I've checked, not only would we not be able to build a house on our construction site now, but we also need to fill the swamp in the future. Besides, even if we could build a house now, we couldn't use those materials at all! They're all defective products."
"How much did they cost?" Amos asked again.
"Well, they're much cheaper than the market price, but they're completely useless. It's like spending money to buy trash! He must be up to no good." Karen was a very upright person. This was also why Andrew didn't like her in the first place.
However, Amos was very appreciative of those who spoke the truth.
"In that case, just let him be then!"
Karen panicked in an instant and asked, "But what about our funds? We'll be in trouble if we don't have enough funds in the future..."
"I know what I'm doing!" Amos then looked at his watch. It had been quite some time since he left the hospital. He had no idea how things were going in the hospital.
"I have something else to do right now. I'm leaving!"
However, Karen was persistent. She immediately stopped Amos and said, "No, President Granger. You have to let me know how are you going to deal with it. Otherwise, I can't go on like this!"
Amos frowned and looked at Clint.
Clint understood and he instantly stepped forward to stop Karen.
"President Granger is busy. If you have any doubts, I'll explain it to you."
Karen asked again, "What should we do with all these scraps of metal?"
Clint rebutted and asked her instead, "Do you think that our swamp needs filling?"
"Of course!"
Clint continued, "Exactly! If we fill the swamp with soil, there is a high chance that it would collapse. However, if we fill it with those scrap metal, it’ll be much stable, won't it? Plus, it's all for a cheaper price. As long as we don't use them to build a house, everything will be fine. We could eventually mix it with concrete to stabilize it further..."
Karen's eyes instantly lit up and exclaimed, "Assistant Zuckerberg, you're so smart!"
Clint shook his head and replied, "No. This is President Granger's idea!"
Karen then happily went on to arrange for orders. Only then did Clint look at the direction in which Amos had left. He sighed to himself, "If only there was a way for President Granger to exchange his intelligence for his wife's health, he would have done it in a heartbeat."
Amos had already lost a lot of weight despite it only being a few days.
The examination report was quickly released due to the urgency of the case.
Doctor Chilton's face sank after reading the examination report.
"How is this possible? Her condition is worsening too quickly..."
Doctor Leon felt a chill down his spine and took the report over worriedly. The report had clearly shown that the toxin in Eudora's body had already spread vastly in just a short period.
If it was three days ago, there would still a fifty percent rate of success had the pregnancy been terminated then.
But now, even if her pregnancy was terminated, there was only a fifteen percent chance of survival.
Cindy witnessed this moment in fright. She froze and a strong sense of weakness fell throughout her entire body.
"Doctor, is there really no other way?"
