My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 131
Wendy was stunned. "I won't leave."
But Clint had already walked over and said, "Miss Liam, you'd better go! The person whom President Granger needs now is Miss George, not you."
"You..." Wendy gritted her teeth and stared at Clint, but there was nothing she could do. Clint was Amos' assistant, so it wasn't wise to get into a fight with him. She then tried to persuade him, "Why don't we call a doctor? Miss George isn't a doctor. She can't help with his condition either."
Clint didn't have time to explain, so he said bluntly, "Miss Liam, you don't know the truth. Please get out, otherwise, I'll call security!"
Wendy was very upset but she couldn't do anything else except leave.
Only then did Eudora George start taking off Amos' clothes. She wiped his body carefully with a warm damp cloth
Even though she had wiped his body thoroughly with the towel, Amos still did not wake up. Perhaps too much time had passed. Eudora was anxious. "Please bring me some ice cubes."
Eudora made cold compresses with the ice cubes and pressed them on his body, but still there wasn't much progress.
Clint started getting anxious as he yelled next to Amos, "President Granger, it's Miss George. Miss George is here. Please open your eyes."
Eudora nodded as well, "It's me!" Then, she grabbed his hand and continued, "Amos, please wake up!"
Amos' fingers moved slightly, and Eudora's heart was immediately filled with joy. She quickly hugged him, and exclaimed excitedly, "You're awake!" Seeing her reaction, Clint turned away instinctively.
Eudora was embarrassed and she quickly got up. "Let me take a look..."
"Don't move," Amos ordered. He held her body tightly with his strong arm and pressed her on his body. "Will you lay here with me for a while?" Eudora was shocked, then she looked into his eyes. Being that close to him made her notice the faint dark circles under his eyes.
"Did you not sleep well for the past few days?"
Amos pursed his lips and said, "It's all right. Just sleep by my side for a while. I'll be fine soon."
"But your rashes..."
He gradually lowered his voice and said, "With you around, I'm not worried at all..."
Eudora frowned. She wanted to move but she immediately stopped when she saw Amos sleeping soundly. She lay on his body and stared at him.
Even when he was asleep, his brows were still tightly furrowed. Fortunately, the red rashes on his face were fading away slowly.
It wasn't until then that Eudora finally felt relieved and slowly fell asleep. Wendy had been waiting for a long time outside the door, but nothing much seemed to have happened inside. She stood up. "Is he all right now? Let me go in and take a look."
"Miss Liam!" Clint tried to stop her, "You can't go in."
"Why can't I? Amos is in danger. Aren't you supposed to take care of him as his assistant?"
Clint frowned and replied in a slightly annoyed tone, "Miss Liam, I've been with President Granger for more than ten years. I know him better than you do."
It was only then that Wendy realized she had misspoken. She hurriedly apologized.
'T m sorry, I was just too worried. Assistant Zuckerberg, please forgive me."
Clint didn't have a good impression of Wendy. He had been tolerant of her because she was President Granger's lifesaver. He believed that President Granger had repaid his debts when he risked his life to bring her back from the States.
President Granger had even helped her start a company. Yet, Miss Liam still wanted more, even though she clearly knew President Granger was deeply in love with Miss George.
At first, he thought Miss Liam was President Granger's true love.
However, as things progressed, it was still Miss George who saved President Granger.
President Granger may continue to dwell on the fact that Miss Liam had saved his life, but he did not Therefore, Clint replied bluntly, "Miss Liam, you may leave first if you have something to do. President Granger is going to be fine!"
Wendy finally stopped and did not dare speak again.
A long time had passed, and Eudora and Amos were still sleeping soundly on the sofa. There was no sign of movement in the room as the sky grew dark.
Wendy couldn't wait any longer. When Clint left to deal with some work, she went ahead and opened the door.
She saw Amos lying on the sofa and Eudora lying on top of him. Both of them were sleeping soundly.
Wendy was dumbfounded. Clint, who had just come back, immediately caught up to her and dragged her out.
"Miss Liam, since you have seen it, I won't hide it from you anymore. Miss George and President Granger have a very close relationship. No other else could compare. You're very welcome to give them your blessings, but if you don't wish to do so, I'd suggest that you stop causing trouble between them. Otherwise, not only President Granger but the people around him might not let you go as well." After that, Clint told the driver to send Wendy back.
In the room, Eudora was awake when she noticed Wendy being dragged out by Clint. She heard everything that Clint had said. She felt inexplicably embarrassed. She had never done anything for Clint and the others before. Why did they think so highly of her?
While she was still think about this, Amos suddenly spoke,
"What's on your mind?"
Eudora was stunned and hurriedly raised her head. Her eyes met his clear ones.
"You were awake this whole time?"
"Yes," Amos nodded and continued, "I didn't want to move since you were sleeping so soundly."
She took a look at his body. All the rashes had subsided.
Eudora frowned and asked, "Didn't you hear what Clint had said to Wendy? Clint was scolding your savior. Why didn't you help her out?"
Upon hearing this, Amos' face turned gloomy again.
"Do you want to leave me that badly?"
Eudora suddenly fell silent. She remembered the scene when she first arrived here. Her heart ached when she recalled Amos' weak state. She couldn't help but ask,
"Why didn't you allow Wendy to help you? Maybe she could have saved you?"
"Why should I let her try? You're my woman, aren't you?"
Eudora remained silent.
She could not refute, "Amos, thank you for trusting me. I..." She hadn't finished her sentence but Amos had turned his back to her.
"You should go back. I'll ask the driver to send you home. You must be tired."
He didn't want to talk more. He was afraid that she would bring up the topic of leaving him again.
"What about you?" Eudora blurted out.
Hearing this, Amos turned back and stared at her deeply. She hurriedly lowered her head and wondered in her heart. Why did she ask such a question?
Seeing this, Amos turned his head away too.
"I still have a lot of work to deal with. You should go home."
"I don't need a driver. I drove here." Eudora said as she turned around and left.
Amos returned to his seat but his eyes were fixed downwards. He didn't regain his composure until Eudora's silhouette became tinier and eventually disappeared from his sight.
Clint came in to ask about what happened but Amos only scowled.
"Please check the new secretary's background and the person who hired her."
Clint was stunned. "Are you suspecting that someone did it on purpose?"
"Most definitely. "Amos said in a hoarse voice. No one would have dared to use the opportunity of sending a contract to get close to him. She couldn't have done it unless someone had arranged for it to happen.
