Amos usually would not intervene too much.

However, Eudora's situation was different now. First of all, she was pregnant, and second of all, she wasn't feeling well!

There were so much bacteria in the hospital's ward. What if she was infected?

Amos pursed his lips, "No..."

He had to put his foot down this time around.

Eudora's mouth suddenly twitched. "Amos, how could you do this? Thea is my friend..."

Amos pulled her over in the next second.

"Do you think what Thea needs is your care? What she needs the most now is a man! A man who could protect her from all difficulties," Amos said.

Originally, Eudora didn't believe that her intelligence seemed to have taken a toll after she got pregnant. Now, after listening to Amos's analysis, she realized that her concern was a little too superficial. "You're right. What should we do then?" Eudora asked.

Amos pointed in the direction of the door. She looked in the direction where he pointed, only to see a man approaching anxiously.

Harley?

Eudora's eyes lit up. "Hubby, you're so smart!"

His heart warmed up immediately from the fact that she'd called him 'Hubby' in public as well as the glimmer of admiration in her eyes.

"Call me that again!"

Eudora was stunned and she realized that she'd been a little too excited. She lowered her head quickly and said, "Ah, let's talk about it more when we get home!" At this moment, Harley had already come over.

He spotted Thea almost immediately. She was standing in the crowd in a hospital gown. Her big eyes, which were originally brilliant, were now empty and confused. His heart skipped a beat. He asked, "Didn't you say that you have someone to take care of you? How did you end up like this?"

Thea was about to leave in a haste, but Harley grabbed her arm before she could.

"Thea, are you still not going to tell me the truth even until now? You didn't replace that man at all, and you're not getting married. When are you going to stop lying to me?" His words were like sharp knives, piercing through Thea's heart.

Originally, she had already hated her identity as an illegitimate daughter. She hated her mother for her profligacy and her entanglement with the man who was already married. She really didn't want to be like this, especially in front of Harley.

Thinking of this, Thea hit Harley's arm subconsciously.

"Yeah, I didn't replace him. But so what? If you want to laugh at me, then laugh as much as you want. I'm unscrupulous, and I'm a bad woman. Are you satisfied now?" Harley didn't expect that his simple words would trigger such a reaction from Thea. For a moment, his anger grew stronger.

When he was about to speak again, Thea's tears rolled down from her eyes all of a sudden.

She had always been a confident person. They had known each other for so long. Except for that time when they were drunk, he had never seen Thea cry in front of him. "Are you happy now?" Thea asked coldly. "Could you let me go now?"

Harley felt his heart skip a beat. The next second, he pulled her into his arms.

"I'm sorry!"

She must have been already upset to be in such a state. What he should have given her was concern and not criticism like this.

Thea didn't feel like crying that much at first, but now she wanted to cry even more after Harley held her.

"Harley, why are you so late?!"

Yes, she hated him. Why didn't he just confess that he liked her when she asked him that night?

Why did he refuse to confess his love to her every time she pursued him? She was a girl. Did she have to confess her love to him herself?

However, in the end, the one she hated the most was still herself.

Why did she drink? She could just pluck up her courage even if Harley didn't confess to her. Now that things had turned out like this, she didn't deserve him anymore. She wiped her tears again and let go of Harley.

"Thank you for telling me this. I feel much better now! I'm going back to the ward!"

After that, she turned around and tried to leave.

Behind her, Harley shouted all of a sudden, "Thea, will you marry me?"

Thea's body trembled and she stood rooted on the spot. She dared not look back, afraid that she was hallucinating.

Yes. She must be hallucinating right now.

Why would Harley propose to her all of a sudden? Didn't he know that she was pregnant with someone else's child? However, the next second, the people around them cheered.

Thea looked back subconsciously and saw that Harley was already on one knee.

"Thea, please marry me!"

He looked in her direction and repeated.

"Harley, stop it!" Thea replied hurriedly.

Harley shook his head and said, "I'm serious. I want to marry you. This is something I've been thinking about for a long time."

Thea shook her head and refused, "Are you pitying me? I really don't need it."

"I'm not!" Harley shook his head. "I love you, how could I be pitying you?"

"But I..." She looked down at her baby bump which was still not showing much. For the first time, she wished that she wasn't with child.

"I accept everything that belongs to you!"

Harley confessed.

He had already thought it over on his way to the hospital. No matter whose child it was, he would accept it wholeheartedly.

He finally understood why Amos could still take care of Eudora so carefully even when he thought that the child in Eudora's belly was not his.

Because no matter whose child it was, that woman was still the only person he held dear in his heart. If he loved someone, he could accept everything about her. Her safety and health was the most important thing.

Thea covered her mouth and could not speak for a while.

However, Eudora, who had been watching from one side, sniffed and burst into tears.

As soon as Amos lowered his head, he saw the little woman crying and laughing, and wiping her tears away. He was at a loss.

"Eudora, don't cry..."

Eudora shook her head. "I'm not crying, I'm happy. I really didn't expect that Harley, the playboy who always flirted around, would love Thea so deeply."

Amos frowned. For some reason, he regretted letting his little woman see the scene of Harley proposing to Thea.

He cleared his throat and asked in a low voice.

"Don't you think that Harley's arrival is quite coincidental?"

Eudora was taken aback and she replied, "Is that so? I don't think so!"

Amos was speechless.

The little woman actually didn't get it. Obviously, it was he who'd called Harley to come...

The childish Amos showed how aggrieved he was.

At this moment, Eudora laughed all of a sudden, "I'm just messing with you. I knew that it had to be you. You called Harley over, didn't you? Hubby, you're amazing!" The corners of Amos's lips curled up. He reached out and caressed Eudora's head, teasing, "What a naughty girl!"
