After searching for a long time on the mountain, Amos became more and more impatient.

Additionally, the scorching sun on top of his head flustered him even more.

Several times, he felt so agitated that he wanted to kill someone!

He knew this problem very well. Eudora was the only cure for it. As long as he saw her and hugged her, he would be able to stay calm.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a twinge in his heart.

Frowning, he stretched out his hand and covered his chest.

"Eudora..."

He wondered if something had happened to Eudora.

"No, she'll be fine!" he desperately tried to persuade himself. However, it didn't seem to work.

He couldn't banish all the troubling thoughts from his mind.

His thoughts were interrupted by a phone call. It was from Clint.

"We've found it! The location is probably at a platform on the mountainside next to where our cabin is located..."

Following Clint's voice, Amos quickly observed the terrain nearby.

A moment later, he was shocked to replace that the place Clint was talking about was not far from where he was. He just needed to move a little bit forward.

Clint continued to speak.

"Mr. Granger, don't worry. Well go there right now..."

However, before his voice had died away, Amos had already hung up on the call and ran forward.

There was an area of dense intertwined vines in front of him, blocking the path. It was a perfect hiding place. If it hadn't been Clint who said that there was a platform here, he might have thought that it was impossible to pass through it.

He pushed aside the vines without hesitation. When he went through, he saw a few people on the platform in front of him.

What made him even more frightened was that Eudora was on the edge of the cliff and was about to fall off.

"Eudora!"

Amos shouted and dashed towards her with all the energy he could muster.

However, the distance was too far. He couldn't reach her in time even if he were to run as fast as the speed of light. Naomi panicked just like him.

She also made a dart for Eudora, but she tripped over the rope under her feet and fell to the ground.

"No!" Naomi stretched out her hand in the direction of Eudora.

Fortunately, Nelson laid prone on the edge of the cliff, gripping Eudora's hand.

"Mrs. Granger!"

Eudora looked at Nelson in astonishment. She hadn't expected Nelson to be her savior at a moment like that.

Seeing the scene, Naomi grew relieved.

Upon noticing his actions, Cody got ready to attack Nelson from behind. Naomi hurriedly stepped forward and kicked him away.

He fell to the ground, while Jerry, who passed out a minute ago, woke up.

He intended to join in the fight. The next second, he took a punch on the back and he fell down too.

"Eudora!"

There was nothing else in Amos's eyes but his precious wife.

After knocking down the two men, Amos quickly went to the edge of the cliff and pulled Eudora up together with Nelson.

Amos' appearance set Eudora's mind at rest.

Amos looked affectionately at her scratched face, palm and wrist.

"How did you end up like this?"

Eudora shook her head and said, "It's nothing. Why did you come so late?"

She was whining like a spoiled little girl, but she really was happy to see her beloved husband at last.

Just as her voice faded away, her eyelids drooped, and she fainted.

Amos was startled and thought that something had happened to her. After confirming that she was still breathing steadily, with a sense of relief, he turned to look at Naomi. "What the hell is going on?"

He couldn't hold back his rage any longer especially when he saw that Nelson was also at the scene.

Naomi opened her mouth and said, "Dad, I'm sorry, this time it was me who..."

Before she could explain it, Amos had already slapped her on the face.

The slap was loud, clear and heart-wrenching.

"Didn't I tell you to not contact Nelson anymore? Why didn't you listen to me? If anything happens to your mother, I won't let you get away with it so easily!"

Then, Nelson stood up for Naomi.

"Mr. Granger, it's all my fault. Come at me instead of Naomi if you feel..."

"Don't think that I'll let you off!" Amos flew off the handle at once. He had been cherishing his precious wife with sedulous care for more than ten years. To his dismay, the apple of his eye had actually ended up wounded like this.

She had been so close to death just then. If no one had held her hand in time, she might have died!

That kind of shock was enough to make Amos lose his mind.

He no longer cared about the relationship between his children and him. At that moment, he was just a man who was afraid of losing his lover!

After that, he carried Eudora in his arms and strode away.

Naomi covered her face in her hands and looked at Amos' back with tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry..."

Nelson furrowed his brow. He was heartbroken as he looked at her reddened face.

"I'm the one who should say sorry. If I had known that such an accident would happen, I wouldn't have come to you last night. I'm sorry!"

While he was speaking, he caressed Naomi's cheeks.

"Does it hurt?"

Naomi shook her head and said, "Dad must hate me since he loves Mom so much. She suffered a lot because of me. He will never forgive me!"

"That won't happen!" Nelson stretched his hands out and embraced her.

She had originally been a hot and intrepid girl! However, she was as pitiful as an abandoned pet at the moment.

He could not bear to say anything that would upset her at all.

"I'll accompany you! If Mr. Granger misunderstands you, I'll accompany you to explain it to him. He'll certainly forgive you!"

Soon, Clint and Harley arrived too. Naomi told them what had happened and cooperated with them to give a statement.

After that, they went down the mountain and headed to the hospital together.

Eudora's body was examined. Generally, she only suffered some skin lesions without any internal injuries!

Nevertheless, it still disconcerted Amos. Not only had she been injured at her arms and palms, but he also saw a bruise on her abdomen, which was a result from a kick by Cody. Amos blew his top and he wanted to give those two men another round of beating again.

As he was thinking, Harley came in from the outside.

"Amos, is Eudora alright?"

Amos was still angry at the moment, hence he didn't reply to Harley's question. He only said in a low voice, "Have you investigated the situation thoroughly?"

His voice trembled with outrage. Harley subconsciously shrank away from him and nodded.

"Yes. Those two people are the group of criminals that I told you before. They have confessed candidly. According to them, someone ordered them to carry out everything!"

"Who?"

"Well, they don't know either. The other side is secretive. The two men said they have never seen their faces, nor do both of them understand their background. Such a situation is indeed common among the criminal organizations, where both sides might not reveal their identity when carrying out an illegal deal. We have used a lot of methods, but they still were unable to tell us. I think they really don't know the client!"

"Does the incident have anything to do with Nelson?" Amos asked again.

Harley pursed his lips as he asked, "What do you mean? Do you suspect that he staged the whole thing by himself?"
