Elaine lost her composure for a second before realizing Eudora had just overheard their conversation.
Suddenly, she felt as if she had been caught red-handed. She nodded quickly and walked away.
Eudora closed the door and then walked in sullenly.
Amos looked at her with some concern, "Eudora, just now..."
Eudora snorted, "Amos, I'm really disappointed in you!"
Amos' heart pounded a little faster. Was she angry with him?
"Listen to me, I wasn't..."
"How dare you say that about me? Am I really that bad?"
Amos was surprised.
"No, you're not. You're not reckless or anything. I just didn't want to tell Elaine..."
Only then did Eudora reply, "That's more like it!"
Truth be told, Eudora heard everything Amos had said just now! In the beginning, she felt a little sad. However, after hearing such a warm confession, that gloominess had disappeared completely.
Just now, she was just putting on a show to scare him.
"Then, you're..." Amos looked at Eudora.
"That's enough. Eat this and I won't get angry."
She brought soup along for Amos.
Amos disliked soup, which was why Eudora thought of that way to make him drink it.
As a result, Amos eagerly took over the soup and finished it all in one go!
He did not stop even when Charlie entered the ward. Charlie could smell the fragrance of the soup and he looked out of the window in shock.
"Huh? The sun didn't rise from the west today! How strange."
Amos rolled his eyes at Charlie, which made him shut up at once.
Charlie had actually come here to report a finding to Amos.
Charlie was uncertain if Eudora should listen in as well, so he hesitated.
In the end, Amos opened his mouth and said,
"Just spit it out!"
Charlie continued, "I've found out where Young Master Vincent is. We've even captured a few men. However, Young Master Vincent has gone missing! They said that when they were out stealing stuff a few days ago, he fell into the river and has been missing since. We've tried searching around the river, but there's still no trace of him."
Eudora was surprised, "Are you talking about Vincent Granger?"
"Yes, he's the one who stole your things last time!" Amos said.
"Is he dead?" Eudora thought of the young boy. He was so timid but he died, just like that?
"What's going on?"
Amos looked at Charlie and said, "You should go back first. Continue with the search. Report to me if there's any news."
"Yes!"
After Charlie had left, Amos patted his bed and said, "Come, I'll explain to you slowly."
In the end, Amos told her everything about how he had sent Vincent abroad and that he had spotted Vincent a while back. He also brought up how he had ordered his men to look for Vincent.
Although Eudora had unintentionally been hurt by Vincent before, he was just a timid child and was not a bad person. Hearing such news, Eudora felt sad.
She was even more affected as she was the mother of two children.
"If that's the case, will he..."
Amos shook his head, "It's not clear yet, but Charlie will do his best. Don't worry."
Eudora nodded, "He has lived a miserable life because of his mother."
