In Clearwater Bay.
It was getting dark, but Eudora had not returned home yet.
Amos grew a little anxious, thus he gave the company a call to check on her.
"Are you all still working?"
Clint had been busy all day because he had been dealing with some matters on Eudora's behalf. Hearing this, he said, "Everyone else has gone off work! Miss George has left too! Did something..." Before he could finish speaking, Amos had already hung up the phone.
He asked Cindy to take care of Sugar Bun, and immediately called Charlie.
He ordered, "Conduct an investigation immediately. Find out where Eudora has gone!"
Charlie was anxious as well. Lately, something major would happen to Eudora and Amos once every few days. Now that she was missing, he felt even more on edge.
He no longer dared to delay for a second and immediately went to investigate her whereabouts.
A moment later, Charlie came back to inform Amos.
He said, "I've tracked the GPS in Madam's shoes and phone. They're not in the same location. I'm guessing that she has lost her phone! I'll send someone to where she is currently..."
"I'll head over there!" Amos said, "Find out what happened to her phone!"
"Got it!" Charlie said.
Meanwhile, Eudora was asking passersby to lend her a phone to make a call. Since the child had snatched her purse and phone away, she was unable to go home.
Most of the people, however, were skeptical of her and rejected her request. After speaking with many people, Eudora finally was able to borrow a young lady's phone.
Eudora called home, and Cindy answered the call. She told Eudora that Amos was on his way to pick her up.
Eudora saw a familiar car speeding over before she could end the call. Before she could return the phone to the young lady, a tall shadow had already enveloped her.
"Are you all right?"
The young lady seemed to be frightened. Eudora hurriedly handed the phone over to her and thanked her.
Then, she turned to look at Amos, "I'm fine!"
Amos looked at her from head to toe and finally fixed his eyes on Eudora's feet.
He asked, "You're hurt?"
Eudora pretended to calm as she replied, "I'm fine. It's no big deal. It'll heal on its own!"
Amos ignored her and picked her up in his arms, "Let's go home!"
Upon returning home, Amos quickly called a doctor. Eudora took the time to play with Sugar Bun while he was on the call. She did not care about her injury at all.
She remained calm even when the doctor arrived to treat her.
"It's okay! It's just a small matter. Don't make such a big fuss!"
The doctor looked at Eudora's red and swollen ankle and said, "Although there's no injury on the bones, you've still sprained your ankle. If you don't give it the proper treatment it needs, your recovery will be affected!"
"It's fine! My husband doesn't mind at all!" Eudora muttered.
Amos frowned while giving Eudora a meaningful look.
"Treat it well!" he ordered.
The doctor quickly wrapped her ankle.
The doctor advised, "Be careful to not walk around too much these days. Apply the ointment every day and massage the area around your ankle. It'll help with the recovery and prevent any possible complications."
Amos nodded and asked Cindy to send the doctor out.
The doctor had just warned Eudora not to move around, but as soon as Amos came back, he saw her jumping around and dancing in front of Sugar Bun.
He was so angry that he hurriedly went over and put her down, "Why are you being so disobedient? Didn't you hear what the doctor just said?"
Eudora smiled innocently, "Don't worry. I've said that it's no big deal! Besides, I feel fine!"
