Amos Granger stood by the bed looking at Wendy Liam, who was still in a coma.
The servant was very scared, "Sir, Miss Liam didn't allow me to tell you about this. She doesn't want you to worry."
Amos wanted to say something. However, Wendy, who was on the bed, opened her eyes slowly.
Looking around her, she paused for a moment before saying, "What happened to me?"
The doctor finally heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Seems like Miss Liam is much better now. There shouldn't be any serious problems."
Amos looked at his wristwatch and found that the competition was over.
Therefore, he didn't rush anymore, and turned to ask Wendy, "Why didn't you take care of yourself?"
"I'm sorry, I really didn't want you to worry about me." Wendy said.
Upon hearing this, Amos frowned. "Forget it. Get some rest. I still have something to do!"
"Amos!" Wendy lifted the quilt immediately and caught up with him. She grabbed his arm.
"You haven't come to see me for such a long time. Can't you stay with me for a little longer? I promise I'll let you go back before the sky turns dark. I'll also take care of myself in the future." Wendy's tone was filled with plead. Amos recalled that she was a strong and tough girl when they were in the basement back then. It was hard to imagine what she'd gone through to become like this.
Amos couldn't bear to refuse and nodded his head eventually.
"Okay."
"Thank you, Amos." After saying that, Wendy stood up to say, "I'll cook for you then. I've learned a new dish from someone recently. I was going to cook for you last time, but you never came."
"You don't look so well, you don't really have to do that." Amos said.
"It's okay. It won't take long." After saying that, Wendy pushed Amos to sit down on the sofa outside and went straight into the kitchen.
Amos took out his mobile phone, the screen was still showing his text conversation with Eudora just now.
Eudora didn't send any text messages to him after that last one, "What a sweet-talker".
Amos thought for a while before he typed:
"I'm sorry, Eudora. Wendy wasn't doing well all of a sudden, so I didn't manage to keep my promise. How's everything?"
Amos hesitated and thought the text might not be appropriate. He deleted the draft message instead.
After thinking through, Amos chose to give Eudora a phone call. However, Eudora did not answer it. Amos frowned. That woman must be mad at him.
At that moment, Wendy came out of the kitchen with the dishes in her hand.
"It's time to eat!" she said.
Both of them sat facing each other on the dining table. However, Amos couldn't stop thinking about Eudora. He simply took a few bites. Seeing that the sky had turned dark, he stopped eating.
"I'm full." He said.
Wendy was disappointed. "Was it because I didn't cook well?" She asked.
"No, it's my own problem." Amos replied.
He realized that he would only enjoy the dishes if he ate with Eudora. The dishes he ate with her were his favorite no matter what.
"Please finish the soup then, it's very delicious. Do inform me earlier if you're coming next time, I could stew it for longer hours so that it would taste better." Wendy said.
"You don't have to do this. You're still not well. It would be better for you to rest more. Also, I've helped you to register your company. You can start the business as soon as you recover!"
Wendy's eyes lit up. "Really? That fast?"
"Yes!" Amos nodded his head and said, "I'll head back first then."
However, Wendy hugged him out of the blue and said, "Amos, you're so kind to me. I really don't know how to thank you."
