Amos's tone sounded as though he was teaching Juju at home. Eudora fell into a dilemma. She didn't want to tell him the truth, but on the other hand, she felt extremely bad for not letting him know.
She regretted not knowing Amos earlier. If things had gone the way that Amos had told her, she wouldn't have met and married Felix in the first place. How wonderful would it be if she had been with Amos since the very beginning?
At this moment, Amos interrupted her and spoke.
"Eudora, I'm sorry. It's not that I don't want Sugar Bun. It's just that you're seriously ill. If you blame me, just say something, anything at all. Just don't leave me like how you did the last time, okay?"
Eudora was stunned. Did he already know that she was aware of his intention to terminate her pregnancy? Did he think that that was the reason she had gotten close to him when she was actually planning to leave him?
Fortunately, he was still unaware that her condition had actually worsened.
Eudora pressed her lips together and asked, "Why did you do it when you knew clearly that I would resent you? I'm really upset about that, you know?"
Amos pulled her into his arms and held her tightly, "I just don't want to lose you, Eudora..."
Eudora felt the urge to cry and she sniffled hastily.
''Sillyhead, who said that you would lose me? I'm in great health. I'm sure that I'll get better soon. When that happens, you can't dump me even if you want to. I'll be stuck with you forever! If you don't believe it, you could ask Doctor Chilton. He came in and did a check-up for me after you left. He said that my body took a turn for the better," Eudora tried to convince him.
Amos was a little skeptical and he asked, "Really?"
"Yup, of course!" Eudora answered with a smile.
Amos quickly let her down, got up, and left the room.
As soon as he left, Eudora returned to the breakfast table and ate a mouthful of the pancake.
It seemed that she had lost her sense of taste.
Even so, she couldn't forget the way he looked at her with that charming smile of his.
She took a deep breath and wiped the tears away from the corner of her eyes.
"Sugar Bun, let's fight through this together, alright?"
Amos soon returned to the ward, accompanied by Doctor Chilton and Doctor Leon. He was never one to trust others easily, especially when it came to the matter of Eudora's life and death.
Therefore, he called for both Doctor Leon and Doctor Chilton. "Give her another checkup in front of my eyes!"
Doctor Chilton instantly glanced at Eudora.
Eudora nodded in agreement, signaling for him to proceed.
Fortunately, Doctor Chilton was an experienced doctor. He would never be overwhelmed over such a trivial matter. He quickly walked over upon receiving Eudora's signal.
"Miss George, I'm going to start now."
Many parts of Eudora's body had already been infected at this point. Therefore, he had to be cautious when pressing on her body during the examination.
The patient would definitely feel the pain. As a man, even Doctor Chilton himself couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't cry out in pain under such circumstances.
What more for Eudora who was just a very weak girl?
He really dared not imagine what would happen next. Perhaps, their plan would be exposed.
However, there was nothing more that he could do.
