Amos stayed in the hospital for three more days before he was finally discharged.
For one, he already was feeling much better, and secondly, Eudora's condition was worsening each day in the hospital.
Amos was worried that she was exhausting herself too much by taking care of him.
So, in the end, he decided to go home.
He recalled the suggestion that Doctor Chilton had given to him the other day. Doctor Chilton said that perhaps keeping Eudora happy would be better for her condition.
It was quite obvious that Eudora wasn't happy staying in the hospital. In fact, she looked exhausted over the past few days. It was obvious she was busy worrying that Amos would be worried about her own health.
Thus, Eudora was reluctant to go to sleep on the first night after they returned home.
Amos had gone to the study room because he still had some work to deal with.
When he came out of the study, he realized that Eudora was still in the living room.
Amos frowned and walked over.
"What's wrong? Are you not going to sleep?"
Eudora leaned on his shoulder, "Amos, my belly is very big now. I don't think that it's very convenient for the two of us to sleep together on the same bed. What do you think?"
Amos' heart sank. His first thought was that her condition was getting worse and worse.
However, when the words were about to come out of his mouth, he asked instead, "Are you not feeling well?"
"No, it's not that!" Eudora shook her head instantly. She didn't even hesitate when she was lying to him now. What a little liar.
A little liar whom he didn't know whether he should love her or hate her.
Amos lowered his eyes. "What do you suggest then? I could ask Charlie to arrange for a bigger bed..."
"No!" Eudora waved her hand hurriedly. "No, I mean, no matter how big the bed it is, it's still too inconvenient. Why don't I sleep in the room next to yours?"
Amos frowned, "Do you want to stay separately now?"
"Not exactly. We're still living under the same roof, aren't we? I just think that it's not exactly convenient now. Plus, just for the sake of the baby, we'd better sleep separately for a while. Is that okay..."
She deliberately softened her voice as her words trailed off. She knew that he could not reject her request with that cute tone!
Amos accepted his fate and nodded, "Fine!"
"Thank you, hubby!" She kissed him on the cheek happily, then got up and ran next door with her things.
The house was cleaned up every day, so the room was fit to move in at any time.
After the door was closed, Amos saw at a glance that Eudora did not bring the book that she used to read every day. He picked it up and thought of bringing it to her room.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard coughing from the other side.
The cough was very loud, and it was heartbreaking.
Amos felt as though his heart had jumped out of his chest. Was this the reason why she wanted to sleep separately?
Her health was getting worse and worse!
Amos frowned and looked at the book in his hand. In the end, he did not go in.
He stood outside the door until it was quiet in the room before finally opening the door in front of him.
There were some bloodstains on his palms as a result of clenching his fists too tightly.
Whenever Eudora coughed, his fists could not help but clench a little tighter, until the skin was torn and bleeding.
The room was dark, and Amos did not intend to turn on the light.
With the moonlight illuminating behind the curtain, he slowly walked to the bedside and stood still. The little woman had fallen asleep, but her eyebrows were still tightly knitted.
