When they arrived at the hospital, Bethany Hamilton had just finished wiping the Old Master's body.

Seeing the two of them, Bethany put down the towel in her hand, "You're here!"

Eudora George observed her body language, "Do you not suspect me?"

Bethany smiled and said, "Of course not. Didn't you say that the police are involved? Since that's the case, let's just let them run through the due process. What's the point of suspecting you? It'll just make things uncomfortable between us."

Before this, Eudora only treated Bethany with respect. Now, she was growing really fond of this woman.

She was indeed a very rational person and she was level-headed too.

"Thank you!" Eudora said sincerely.

Next, she put down the fruit and broth that they had brought and asked, "How's the Old Master doing?"

"He hasn't woken up yet. The doctors say that he may never wake up..."

Eudora frowned, "No! He will definitely wake up soon!"

Bethany smiled and shrugged, "It's fine. Sometimes, it's better to remain asleep."

Eudora was stunned for a moment, but Bethany quickly changed the topic.

"How is your foot? You have to be careful when you move around."

"Okay!" Eudora nodded, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

While they were talking, Amos Granger just stood beside his father's bed. No one could tell what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Bethany deliberately excused herself, "We are short on supplies so I'm going to head out with the servants to get them. Why don't you all stay here with the Old Master for a bit?" Eudora nodded and went over to hold Amos' hand after Bethany left.

Amos broke out from his trance and smiled at Eudora.

"What are you thinking about?" Eudora asked.

Amos sighed, "I just thought of the time when my mother told me about him when I was a little child."

He was talking about the Old Master. Even though he didn't spell it out, Eudora knew who he was referring to.

Without waiting for her to answer, Amos spoke again,

"At that time, I was about at Juju's age. When I saw that everyone else had a father, I asked her what my father looked like. She told me that my father was a tall and masculine man and that he was well-known in the business world and he always lived a comfortable life. In short, he was the best person in the world." While Amos spoke, he also smiled.

"Would such a perfect person exist in this world? But I believed her words back then. If she could see him now, I wonder whether she would be disappointed."

Eudora shook her head, "No, Amos. I don't think so."

Amos looked at her doubtfully, so she proceeded to explain, "You don't understand women because you aren't one. I know that your mother believed in every single word she said. She loved him a lot, so in her eyes, he was that perfect person. Even up to this moment, she would see him that way."

Amos pursed his lips. After a while, he replied, "Maybe you're right. So, in your eyes, am I that good as well?"

This man...

How did he even wind up relating this to himself? However, she knew that this was his attempt at concealing the hurt in his heart.

She nodded, "Yes. To me, you're exactly like that."

Amos' lips curled up slightly, "To me, you're perfect as well."

Eudora couldn't bear it any longer. She felt goosebumps run all over her body. Luckily, her phone rang at that moment. She was afraid that it would disturb the Old Master so she grabbed her phone and quickly left the room.

It was Christopher Gellert. As soon as she picked up, she heard his anxious voice from the other end of the phone,

"What's going on? Are you hurt?" "How did you replace out?"

Christopher hesitated for a moment and then said, "Looks like it's true. Eudora, am I not your friend anymore? You didn't even call me after going through such a big thing. In case you have forgotten, I'm still your boss!"

Eudora shrank her neck, "It was just a small injury. Besides, it would be better for you to keep your distance."

When she finished speaking, she heard a sweet female voice on the other end of the call.

It was Tina Holt's voice.

"Eudora, how could you? We didn't even get a chance to visit you! If it weren't for Thea, we wouldn't have known."

Now she knew who the snitch was!

Eudora didn't know what to say, "Are the both of you blaming me for this?"

"We're not! Perhaps we could drop by one of these days if you're free!"

"Please don't!" Eudora immediately objected, "There's something going on at home, so I won't be free."

Tina mumbled, "Okay then. When you're well, I'll buy you a drink."

Eudora was speechless.

Before she could finish her speaking, Eudora heard Christopher scold her, "Tina!"

Tina chuckled. Eudora suddenly remembered something and asked, "Well, how is the amusement park project going? Are there any problems?"

"None so far," Tina said, "It's progressing steadily." "That's good!"

After hanging up the phone, Eudora headed back to the ward. Just as she arrived at the door, she saw several doctors and nurses running toward her from the end of the corridor. Eudora's heart sank. Just as she was about to rush into the ward, Bethany came back from grocery shopping.

Seeing this scene, she was also shocked, "What's going on? What happened to the Old Master?"

Before Eudora could speak, Amos interjected, "The Old Master woke up."

Bethany was stunned. Eudora exclaimed, "Really? Did the Old Master really wake up?"

Amos nodded, "Yes, but only for a few seconds. After that, he fell unconscious again."

"That's also a good sign. The Old Master will definitely recover."

"Yes, and it looked like he was about to tell me something just now. Knowing his willpower, he'll definitely wake up again!"

As he spoke, the doctor had just finished with his checkup.

Bethany asked in a hurry, "How does it look?"

There was a trace of a smile on the doctor's face, "The Old Master looks fine. Don't worry, if things were to go well, he should wake up within three days. He would still need someone to look after him for now." "Thank you, Doctor," Bethany said.

After the doctor left, Amos told Bethany, "You must be very tired. You should head home now. Eudora and I will take care of him."

Bethany shook her head, "It's okay. I'm used to taking care of him..."

"Vincent's at home. You'd better go back and take a rest!"

Upon hearing this, Bethany nodded, "Then I'll go back and take a look at Vincent. I'll be back tomorrow morning."

After Bethany left, Eudora rushed to the Old Master's side and whispered, "Old Master, Amos is here to see you. Wake up quickly, and then we could go for a holiday together."

Amos looked at Eudora with a smile, "It seems that this little nurse has become dumb today."

Eudora was stunned, "Hold on, so the Old Master didn't wake up just now?"

"It was just a distraction! Didn't we talk about this on our way here earlier?"

Eudora was disappointed. She had forgotten about their early discussion. She truly believed that the Old Master had woke up briefly earlier.
