Looking at the woman in front of him who was close to tears, the doctor was instantly concerned.

"What's the matter?"

"Here's the thing. Look, that's my sister and my brother-in-law..." Kesha pointed to the two people in front of her, "Don't they look happy?"

The doctor nodded, "They do..."

"You know, my sister... Just three months ago, something happened to my sister and she was..." Kesha trailed off. The doctor had already understood without her having to finish her sentence. His face instantly morphed into one of complete sympathy.

"That's really sad to hear!"

"According to the time that you've provided, my sister's child likely belongs to the offender..."

"Is that so?" The doctor asked, mouth wide from shock.

Kesha nodded as she rubbed her eyes, "Yes, it really is a huge shame. Because of that incident, my sister had lost her memory from the trauma and my brother-in-law has been worrying about everything ever since. I feel so bad for them..."

The doctor sighed and tried to sympathize, "Well, I guess this is what they call fate."

"Maybe you could do something to help them! Could you help me to change the baby's time of conception?"

The doctor was shocked by her proposal, "Absolutely not! The test results have to be genuine!"

"Doctor, this small act of kindness could save my sister and brother-in-law's family! Do you really want to see such a happy family get torn up in the end? Please, it's not anything big, it's just one small favor..." She dug through her bag for a card to hand to the doctor.

"Here, please consider this as a little token from me, on behalf of my brother-in-law. You have to accept it. Please, take it and save my sister's marriage!"

When the doctor's gaze fell on the card, he lost his will to resist.

"I... Alright. I'll give it a try."

"Thank you, Doctor! This will surely ensure my sister's happiness!" She shoved the card to him and thanked him a few more times.

The doctor walked back to the laboratory after taking the card took the card. Kesha took this opportunity to walk out through the side door.

She turned towards Eudora's direction and let out a cold smirk before leaving.

After a long wait, Eudora and Amos finally heard the doctor call her name. Just as she was about to move, she saw that Amos had already gotten up, already bringing the results up to her. "So, how is it? Didn't I tell you that I was fine?" Eudora asked with a smile.

Amos's eyes scanned through the results. His heart was beating out of his chest, and he felt dazed for a moment.

"What is it? What's wrong? Let me see," Eudora said hurriedly.

"It's nothing!" Amos interjected immediately. His grip on the sheet of paper tightened as he brought it closer to his chest. "Hey, didn't you say that you were hungry just now? Come one, let's go home." "What is it? Am I really ill?" Eudora asked. She felt that Amos was acting a little strange.

"No, of course not. I don't quite understand the results myself. I'll have someone else review it when we get back."

Eudora stretched her hand out and tapped Amos's chest a few times.

"President Granger, are you stupid? This is a hospital! If you couldn't understand the results, and let's go replace that doctor and ask him about it! Come

ii

on...

"No, that won't be necessary. I want to head back home now. I'm feeling hungry as well. We'll have to queue up again if we want to consult with the doctor. I'll just ask the family doctor when we get back." Eudora agreed enthusiastically. She was feeling rather famished.

"Well, alright then. Let's go. But before we go, could we get some cake first? I really want one now..." Amos's eyes darkened a little as he suddenly recalled Eudora's similar behavior from when she was bearing Juju. He hadn't known at that time. However, he distinctly remembered her acting like she was now. She often liked to sleep and she was also hungry all the time.

Amos took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Alright, cake it is then. You can eat whatever you want."

Eudora took Amos' arm and couldn't help but appease him a little, "Hubby, you're so good to me!"

Amos's eyebrows shot up a little, "What did you just call me?"

Eudora quickly covered her mouth with her hands. What happened just a second ago? How could she refer to Amos with such names? It seemed as though her subconscious had taken over for one moment. She wasn't even sure why that came to mind either.

"I... I didn't call you anything," Eudora said eventually, covering her face.

Soon enough, Amos brought her to a cake shop and bought her some cake. Once she laid her eyes on the cake, she knew instantly that she would not have the patience to wait until they got back home to devour it.

"Could I please eat here?" She asked, absolutely unabashed.

Amos nodded and proceeded to replace a place to put the cake down. Eudora picked up a strawberry and put it in her mouth. Her eyes lit up as she chewed. "This is delicious!"

"Here, have a taste!" She said, holding another strawberry near Amos' mouth.

"It's okay. I don't want eat," Amos said.

Eudora didn't hold back after that. She could finish this cake by herself either way. Her appetite was back in full force.

Like a joyful little mouse, she lowered her head happily and proceeded to eat one mouthful after another. After a few bites, her lips were already covered with cake.

Amos reached out to help her wipe the crumbs off and gently murmured, "Hey, slow down."

They made their way back to their car after she was done with the cake. Once they were both settled in, Eudora started to feel sleepy again. Seeing that her eyelids were struggling to keep open, Amos assured softly, "Get some shut-eye. I'll wake you up when we get home."

Eudora nodded, and then complained, "Why do I feel like such a pig? All I do is eat and sleep now!"

Amos looked at her indifferently, "Well, even if you really are a pig, you would still be a cute one."

Eudora smiled in satisfaction. After all, who didn't like being praised like that?! She closed her eyes eventually and soon fell asleep.

As she slept, Amos dialed a number and said in a low voice, "Doctor Leon, yes, it's me. Please contact a reliable gynecologist for me. Have them wait for me at my house."

After hanging up, he started to adjust the air conditioning in the car to make it less chilly. After fiddling with it for a while, he decided to take off his coat and used it to cover Eudora up.

Eudora was still asleep when they got home. Amos then carried her upstairs. The gynecologist that he called for had already arrived and was waiting for him when he made his way downstairs after. Doctor Leon had a close relationship with the Granger family as they were acquainted for many years. It was an easy feat to call on him for such favors.

Amos showed the results to the doctor. After looking through the report, the doctor gave him a quick reply.

"It seems that she's pregnant."

It was just as he had expected, "How many months has she been pregnant?" Amos blurted out his question.

The doctor smiled and said, "Around two months. Everything seems to be fine. You don't have to worry about it!"

Two months?!

Amos only felt a buzzing run through his head. He almost couldn't keep himself still.

The doctor was feeling pretty glad at first, but when she saw the look on Amos' face, she didn't dare say anything more. The room instantly fell silent, a pin-drop silence could be heard.

After a long while, Amos finally spoke up. "Alright, you may leave now."

The doctor fled from the room at record speed.

Outside the door, Doctor Leon was startled when he saw the doctor rushing out with a bleak expression, "What is it? What happened?"

The doctor shook her head as she answered, "I don't know. President Granger just handed me a report to look through. I just told him that the report says that the pregnancy was about two months along now and he..."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Leon's heart also skipped a beat.
