Listening to Juju's steady breathing, Eudora soon began to feel sleepy herself.
She tried her best to control her drowsiness, but it was obvious that her efforts were in vain.
Yawning, Eudora was just about to close her eyes when she heard the door being pushed open. A tall figure slowly walked into the room.
The familiar aura caused Eudora's rapidly beating heart to instantly slow down. It was Amos.
She thought that Amos must have come to see if Juju was sleeping well. However, she didn't expect that he would climb into bed next to her after standing next to her for a while.
Eudora shut her eyes hurriedly and felt herself being pulled into his embrace. She could feel him looking at her with burning eyes.
After a long time, Amos' soft laughter rang in her ears. "Can't sleep?"
Eudora then opened her eyes and yawned.
"It's not that, I just can't bear to sleep." She really couldn't. The more she slept, the quicker time would pass by, and the less she could get to see them.
Amos was also reluctant to let her go, but when he saw her yawning and her eyes getting misty, he couldn't help but stroke her back.
"Go to sleep. I'll wake you up tomorrow!"
"Really?" Eudora smiled. "Yes! Of course. Didn't you say so too? Our family needs to go grocery shopping together every day. I'll wake you up tomorrow at dawn. Well go shopping after that."
"Okay!" Eudora nodded. The moment she closed her eyes, she seemed to think of something again. She opened her eyes and planted a kiss on Amos' lips.
"Hubby, I love you."
It seemed that she had never said this before because she always felt that there was still a lot of time. However, now, as time went by, she felt that it was foolish of her to think that way.
Amos felt a stab in his heart and he said with a smile, "My dear wife, I love you too. I love you very much..."
"I love you so very much that I want to trade my life for yours. When you wake up, please don't blame me, okay?"
Eudora had already closed her eyes, and soon, the sound of her steady breathing could be heard.
Amos hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead.
The moonlight that night was brilliant, as though it was trying to illuminate the whole sky. Amos looked at the two most important women in his life, his beautiful wife and daughter, until the sun came up the next day.
He got up and made breakfast. After Juju finished eating, he asked Cindy to send her to school.
Doctor Chilton and the others came after Juju left. Eudora was still fast asleep, just like how she was the day before.
Moreover, compared to the day before, her overall condition seemed to be much worse. It turned out that Doctor Chilton was right.
Amos pursed his lips and said, "There's no more time to waste. Send Eudora to the hospital now."
The operating room of the hospital had been sterilized and prepared, just waiting for the patient to be sent to the hospital. At this moment, Doctor Chilton grabbed Amos' arm. "President Granger, I highly suggest that you reconsidering. You really are not suitable to donate your kidney based on your body's condition at the moment. What if something goes wrong, it is really..."
"I've made up my mind!"
Doctor Leon, who was standing next to him, suddenly interjected, "Actually, isn't Miss George's father a more suitable match?"
He was talking about Gordon. Although Gordon was old, his kidneys were still healthy. Moreover, at his current age, it wouldn't be much of a change even if he were to donate his kidney.
Amos frowned. "But he is ill..."
It wasn't that he hadn't thought of Gordon, but he was the only family Eudora had in this world. Eudora wanted Gordon to be safe and sound. How could Amos put him in danger then?
