My Second Husband novel Chapter 481

Although Eudora had never liked Felicia, she knew that Felicia had always treated Gordon very well. Besides, it was quite a serious matter for one to have fallen down the stairs.

Eudora got up from the bed upon hearing the news.

"Let's go and visit her! I'm not very sleepy anyway!"

After all, she was no longer drowsy and lightheaded since she took Doctor Chilton's strange medicine.

Amos nodded in agreement. He went downstairs and immediately started the car.

Half an hour later, Amos and Eudora arrived at the hospital. Gordon was sitting alone at the entrance of the operating room. His hair was totally grey as he looked at the emergency room nervously.

At that moment, Eudora suddenly felt that Gordon was no longer the man he once was, the person who could shelter his children from all the obstacles they faced.

He was getting old. He started to become reliant on others and crave stability in life.

That was probably the reason why he had called her in the middle of the night.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for this to happen with his previous temper.

Gordon seemed to have noticed her arrival. He got up hastily and stumbled towards her.

"Eudora, you're finally here! What should we do about Auntie Maurice?"

Eudora grabbed his hand and comforted him. "Everything is going to be fine. Amos went to call the doctor, didn't he? She'll be alright."

Gordon nodded but his hand was tightly gripped onto Eudora's hand, just like the time when her mother had just passed away. She still remembered how scared she was at that time.

Back then, Gordon didn't say anything to comfort her, but he held her hand constantly and refused to let go of it.

Ever since he began to grow old, he started behaving like a child.

The lights in the operating room went out soon after. The doctor exited the room and pulled down his mask as he walked towards them.

Gordon stood up hastily and looked at the doctor with his back hunched.

"How did it go? Is she alright?"

The doctor shook his head and replied, "I'm sorry, we've tried our best. The patient fell down the stairs and hurt her head. She suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in her brain. We're so sorry for your loss..."

Gordon looked at the doctor blankly and suddenly grabbed his arm. It was as though he had gone mad.

"How could that be? Why did she fall down the stairs all of a sudden? She was still fine last night and she even cooked dinner for me. I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" Gordon yelled with immense sadness.

"Mr. George..."

The doctor felt helpless. He didn't know what to say to the old man who was crying out in tears in front of him.

Eudora grabbed Gordon's hand and quickly comforted him, "Dad, Auntie Maurice will feel sad if she sees you like this!"

Amos protected Eudora silently from the side. He was truly worried that Gordon might bump into Eudora as he struggled to compose himself.

Fortunately, Gordon gradually calmed down.

The sky was still dark outside and none of them uttered a word.

A long time had passed before Gordon spoke again, "Eudora, could I discuss something with you? Will it be alright if we were to set your Auntie Maurice's grave next to mine?"

Before Eudora could respond, Gordon spoke again.

"I know you might not be able to accept it. But actually, your Auntie Maurice came from a rough background. In fact, I already knew her before I got into a relationship with your mother. At that time, I had nothing and she treated me very well. But later, for many reasons, I got into a relationship with your mother and she left. Many years later, we met again. She was not married even till then. Although I felt a little guilty, I still kept a distance from her. Trust me, she's definitely not what you think she is. She was never a mistress! Since she had taken care of me for so many years, I knew that she must've wanted something from me. However, she had always been very diligent and sincere to me. Now that she had passed away, there is no need to hold a big funeral. Could we just bury her quietly next to my grave? I'm begging you!"

Eudora would definitely disagree if this was asked many years ago.

In her heart, she knew that Felicia was the main culprit who had destroyed her family.
