"What's wrong?" Amos looked at her worriedly.
"Nothing!" Eudora tried to calm herself down as she said, "I'm going to call the doctor just in case!"
"Eudora..." Amos knew that she really was worried and he immediately regretted his actions.
"I'm sorry. I was just pretending because you were ignoring me..."
He started behaving like a baby. He was giving those puppy eyes and his lips were pouting. Eudora couldn't be mad at him whenever he was like this.
"Don't do that next time!"
"Okay! Never again!"
Amos then pulled Eudora into his embrace once again. "Don't worry about the video. I've already had someone settle it. We agreed to let go of the past, right?"
Eudora nodded. With the little time she had left, she didn't intend to think about the past anymore. She just wanted to live happily with Amos by her side while she still could.
"Alright!" Eudora said.
Her reaction surprised Amos. He thought that she would still hold some grudges inside. Unexpectedly, she got over it so easily.
"That's my Eudora..."
The door was pushed open at this moment. As soon as Harley came in, he realized that he had barged into a moment. He immediately covered his eyes and turned around.
"I didn't see anything!"
Amos let go of Eudora. "What brings you here?"
Harley then turned around with a disdainful look plastered on his face.
"Couldn’t you be gentler to me like you are to Eudora!"
Amos snorted and said, "What's gotten into you? Perhaps I should let Charlie beat some sense into you after this."
"No thanks!" Harley refused strongly. Amos' secret guards were like madmen. He would always end up severely injured whenever he sparred with them.
Suddenly remembering what he came here for, he took a quick glance at Eudora.
Eudora had a feeling that he would talk about Kesha, so there was no need to feel uneasy.
"I'm fine. Go on."
Harley finally spoke, "Kesha dragged Steven down into the deep valley with her. I've already sent people to look for her, but we've got nothing."
Eudora was shocked. She thought that Steven would be dead and Kesha would be arrested. How did things turn out this way?
Harley's lips twitched, "You'll never realize what you've got until it's gone." "Oh!" Eudora nodded. Eudora didn't know what to feel about Kesha's death. The two of them had always been archenemies in the past. In fact, Kesha had hurt her so often that she started looking at her as a foe too.
However, now that she heard that Kesha jumped off a cliff, she was neither happy nor sad. She felt calm, yet there was a trace of sadness in her heart.
She still remembered when Kesha was quite adorable when she was young and innocent.
Even though she didn't like Kesha very much at that time, she still treated her fairly.
Kesha liked to follow her around. Although Eudora didn't show it, it was no doubt that she was slowly accepting her.
The two of them didn't have a large age gap. She once brought her along to break the neighbors' vases, and another time, the glass of the neighborhood bulletin board.
The sad reality was, people change over time.
Eventually, for some unknown reason, everything changed!
"She deserved it!" Amos' comforting voice could be heard. Then, Eudora felt his warm embrace.
The hollowness in her heart was instantly filled with warmth, and she felt secure in his arms.
Eudora nodded. "Yes, if there's still a chance, I hope that she could acknowledge her mistakes and start anew!"
After that, she suddenly thought of Gordon.
Gordon was living with Felicia before this, and Kesha and Eudora would visit them occasionally. He didn't need people to take care of him at that time, but he had fallen ill, and now he was all by himself...
