By the time they arrived at Long City, it was already nighttime.
Everyone went to rest in their respective rooms in the hotel. Eudora was also brought to the room by Amos. Her condition seemed to have deteriorated compared to when she was at home.
He instantly took out a digital thermometer and helped her to measure her body temperature. Sure enough, her body temperature had risen to 39°C.
He immediately went to get the antipyretics for her and helped to decrease her body temperature through an external cooling method.
Fortunately, Sugar Bun was very obedient and did not make a fuss.
When she woke up in a daze, it was already midnight. Sugar Bun was asleep whereas Amos was leaning against her.
The moment she moved, he woke up too.
"How are you feeling?"
She shook her head and said, "I want to go to the washroom!"
He got up to help her to the washroom. She was feeling awfully feeble and fatigued.
When she came out of the bathroom, before she could even get back to the bed, her vision went black and she fainted.
It was already the next day when she woke up again. Sunlight phone through the window. Sugar Bun was standing at the side of the bed, looking at Eudora. He said. "Mommy, have some water!"
She was still feeling dizzy, so she took a sip of water and looked around the room.
"Where's your dad?"
"Daddy is working..."
She was shocked and wanted to sit up hurriedly. "What work is your dad attending to?"
Sugar Bun shook his head. "Uncle Clint and Daddy, together..."
She was astounded.
"So, he went to my meeting with my client on behalf of me? But I've been handling the project all the while. Would my client perceive that as a disrespectful behavior?" She paused and pondered the consequences.
Then, she got up fast from the bed.
Sugar Bun was still a child, thus he didn't know much about the situation. When he saw Eudora getting up, he started to speak softly.
"Daddy said you have to be obedient!"
She shook her head. "No way! If I don't go, I'll be considered irresponsible! Do you want me to be an irresponsible person?"
He shook his head. "I don't want to."
"Isn't that right? I can't be such a person! Therefore, you shouldn't stop me from going out!"
She found her clothes and went into the bathroom to get dressed. After that, she went out with Sugar Bun in her arms and booked a taxi to go to the destination for their meeting.
She had saved the address in her mobile phone.
It just so happened that the place was not far from where they were at the moment. When she arrived, she saw the scene in the lobby as soon as she got out of the car. Amos and the others were talking.
However, the expression on the client's face showed that he was not very happy.
Eudora was nervous and she walked inside in haste with the child in her arms.
Before she got close to them, she heard her client, Mr. Clarke asking, "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?"
She stepped forward and said, "Mr. Clarke, I'm sorry, I'm late!"
Hearing her voice, Mr. Clarke and Amos turned around simultaneously. She didn't have time to talk to Amos, she looked anxiously at Mr. Clarke instead.
"Mr. Clarke, please don't be angry. I just felt a little uncomfortable temporarily and I didn't not come on purpose. Now that I'm here, I'll drink three glasses of wine as an apology if you are angry."
As she spoke, she reached out her hand to get the wine. However, before her hand could touch the glass, Amos had already grabbed her wrist.
