Eudora recalled that Amos was fast asleep once she entered. She then went straight to Amos' room.
She opened the door and went in. Under the moonlight, Amos was lying quietly in bed. Eudora did not dare to turn on the lights. She just walked over and stood by the bed to take a look.
He looked very calm. Tina seemed to be telling the truth. He really was fine.
Eudora breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to leave, Amos suddenly grabbed her hand.
"Don't go!"
Eudora thought that he had woken up and she explained hurriedly, "I didn't come in on purpose. I just came to see you..."
The next second, she realized that he was still fast asleep. He seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep after taking the medication. He was probably dreaming and sleeptalking
Eudora tried to wiggle her hand away but to avail. She had no choice but to sit down next to his bed.
"I'm not going anywhere! Go to sleep and I'll stay here with you!"
Amos seemed to have heard her comfort and went quiet. However, he seemed to have another nightmare after a while, and he clenched his fingers tighter.
Eudora was worried that he would hurt her, so she stood up to call him.
"Amos, Amos..."
Not only did Amos not wake up, he suddenly stretched his hand out to grab her. Eudora spun and fell onto the bed. In the next second, Amos was already holding her small body in his embrace.
He was like a child who had grabbed a precious treasure, hugging her very tightly.
Eudora was gasping for air from his tight embrace. She tried to move but she failed, so she had to put up with it.
"I can't breathe!"
Amos finally gave her some space to breathe, just holding her hand, refusing to let go of it.
She could feel his body warmth spreading to her, and Eudora's heart, which had been thumping crazily, finally calmed down.
She yawned and fell asleep as well.
Clint received a call from Christopher, telling him to stay in Greene City to take care of Amos. Therefore, he came over as soon as he was done with his work.
He went to Amos' room to take a look at him out of concern. However, as soon as he turned on the light, he saw the two of them hugging each other and sleeping soundly on the bed.
Clint thought that he was seeing things. He rubbed his eyes and realized that his eyes were not playing tricks on him.
He was so scared that he quickly turned the lights off. He didn't even dare to stay there for another second and left right away.
The two of them weren't aware of what had happened and spent the whole night together till dawn.
Eudora woke up early the next day. When she opened her eyes, she found herself sleeping very soundly in someone's arms.
Thinking of everything that had happened the night before, she shivered.
Fortunately, Amos hadn't woken up yet. She got up hurriedly to check on him and then escaped.
Fortunately, it was still early, and no one at home had woken up yet. Eudora slipped back to her room quietly, laid on the bed, and patted her chest to calm herself down.
"Mommy, are you back?"
All of a sudden, Juju's questioned her from behind. Eudora was startled. Only then she realized that Juju was standing right behind her.
She tried to calm herself down. "Why are you up so early?"
"Because Sugar Bun will wake up soon. So, I have to wake up early and wash up and then take care of him."
Eudora felt guilty as she realized how mature her daughter was. She reached out to hug Juju and whispered, "Juju, you're such a good girl."
