Right before her eyes, it was as though every moment that she and Amos had been through together appeared again.
When she was in danger, he was always the first to stand guard in front of her.
When she was sad, he held her in his arms without hesitation.
They had embraced one another in the falling autumn leaves and had played together in the snow. He said that he would be with her for the rest of her life!
Eudora quickly sat up and realized that she had already come back to Clearwater Bay. Helen stood by the bed, looking at her with red eyes.
"You're awake? I've conducted a checkup on you. You haven't had much rest recently, and your body isn't very healthy either, so that's why you fainted. Cindy has prepared some things for you to eat. Do have some first!"
Eudora didn't say anything. She lifted her eyes at Helen expectantly.
She lifted her eyes at Helen expectantly, "Where is Amos? Didn't I carry him back? Where did he go?"
Helen shook her head and replied, "You'd better eat something first. You've been knocked out for three days. I'll tell you once you've eaten something."
"I don't want to eat!"
Eudora shook her head and refused. "I won't eat. Tell me right now. Where's Amos? Where did he go?"
Helen opened her mouth, with tears rolling down from the corner of her eyes.
"President Granger... He's gone. Miss George, you have to stay strong."
Helen's words were like a bolt of lightning, striking directly down on Eudora. She was dazed as if she was about to solidify into a statue.
A long moment passed.
Eudora said in a hoarse voice, "You're lying to me.
Helen sniffled and said, "I'm not lying to you. Miss George, President Granger really is gone. The bomb was too powerful. Wesley was blasted beyond recognition on the spot. He had blocked President Granger with his own body, but President Granger still couldn't be saved. My father is also devastated. He had tried for a long time to revive him, but..." "I don't believe you!" Eudora struggled to get up from the bed, "I'll die before believing you, for I didn't see it happen with my own eyes!"'
As she finished talking, she ran outside on her own.
Her arm was still connected to an IV drip, and it started heavily bleeding as she tugged it away. It was a horrifying sight.
Helen hurried to help, but Eudora had already pulled out the catheter and ran downstairs, barefooted.
No one was downstairs, and neither were the two children. Only Cindy rushed out of the kitchen frantically to stop Eudora.
"Madam, where are you going? Your body is still very frail. You'd better not go out!" she said.
Eudora ignored her and continued walking out on her own.
Cindy could only call for Charlie again. He swooped in from outside and blocked Eudora's path.
"Madam, are you looking for Miss Juju and Sugar Bun? Don't worry. They are all fine. Mr. Louis and Miss Stewart came by this morning. They were worried that the two children would be anxious after staying at home, so they brought them away... They will be sent home later..."
Eudora shook her head and said, "You're lying to me. In this current situation, Harley and Thea couldn't have possibly taken the children away. Tell me, did Amos bring them out to have fun? It's because I can't go out, so they didn't wake me."
She lied to herself as best as she could, as if to assure herself that Amos was still alive.
Charlie opened his mouth with his voice choking, "Madam, please don't be like this..."
Helen came down and saw the three of them standing still in the living room. Finally, she could not hold back any longer.
She raised her voice, yelling, "Eudora, can you stop deceiving yourself? You saw with your own eyes before you fell unconscious. You know that he's already gone. Why are you so stubborn? Yes, Sugar Bun and Juju weren't taken away by Harley. They're attending Amos' funeral! Are you happy now?
Eudora turned around in a daze with only one word buzzing in her head. Funeral?
