Eudora entered the car.
Just as she did so, the driver asked, "Are you heading to the company?"
Eudora shook her head and said, "No, let's go to Doctor Leon's place first!"
Doctor Leon seemed to have known that Eudora would come early in the morning and had already prepared everything.
The two of them went straight to the point without engaging in any small talk.
"How is Amos' overall situation?"
Doctor Leon handed the documents in his hand to Eudora. "His burns cover over eighty percent of his body. Amos' throat has also been damaged because of the fire. There won't be any problems for the time being, even if he doesn't get any treatment. However, if it goes on like this, there will be complications. Therefore, no matter in which aspect, I suggest that he receive treatment!"
That was exactly what should be done!
Although Eudora failed to care much about his appearance, she knew how big of a blow it was to a person.
Wasn't that the reason why even a powerful man like Amos had not dared to face her?
"If he gets treatment, will there be any risks?"
Doctor Leon nodded, "Yes!"
That was the reason why Amos had refused to be treated in the first place. The doctor had mentioned that the surgery would be incredibly taxing on his body.
Any mishaps could cause him to lose his life on the operating table!
"The risks are so serious?!"
Eudora really did not expect the problem to be this serious. She had thought that it would be the same as plastic surgery...
Doctor Leon, however, told her frankly and cruelly, "His muscles have been damaged. It'll be more complicated than an ordinary plastic surgery."
"What about the success rate?" Eudora looked at Doctor Leon expectantly.
Doctor Leon parted his lips and said, "Ten percent!"
"I won't agree to this with a number like that!" Eudora shook her head. "Why is the probability of success so low?"
Doctor Leon felt troubled as well. He replied, "This is the best we can do! Even if you disagree with the operation, if complications were to happen, the success rate of the operation will be even lower! I've witnessed Amos come back from the dead. My heart has been feeling heavy all this while too!"
Doctor Leon took a deep breath and sighed.
Eudora did not mean to blame him, but she just was unable to accept it.
At first, she had thought that getting Amos back after so much difficulty was already the happiest thing in the world. However, it seemed that that had just been her own fantasy.
How could life be so unfair? Why was their family being tested repeatedly?
In the end, Eudora replied, "I'll think about it!" Then, she walked out.
She had initially wanted to go back to the company, but she had lost all motivation to do so! Eudora called Clint and asked, "Is there anything important going on in the company?"
Clint knew that Amos had just returned, thus he had arranged for everything on her behalf.
"There's nothing important. It's fine if you don't come in today! Everything in the company is running as usual!"
Eudora was relieved. She called the driver to head straight to the market, "I want to buy some ingredients to cook them at home myself!"
In Clearwater Bay, Amos was playing with his two children outdoors.
Cindy took the groceries from Eudora and went in. Meanwhile, Eudora just stood there as she watched Amos play shooting with the children.
At that moment, it was Juju who was undergoing training.
Juju's ability had improved a lot after training with Leslie.
She had already hit the bullseye several times in a row!
After achieving such excellent results, Juju looked proudly at Amos.
She asked, "Dad, why don't you have a try?"
Amos paused for a moment before taking the gun from Juju's hand.
