My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 49
Old Master Granger was already notified about their arrival. It seemed that they had no choice but to go into the mansion.
Eudora George frowned and said, "I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble again."
Amos Granger shook his head. "It's not your fault," he said.
After entering the mansion, they realised that the whole yard was in a celebratory atmosphere. It was still early for dinner. Therefore, everyone gathered in the living room and chatted.
Steven Granger was a little proud of himself. He kept on telling Kaylene Yoder and the others about those tough questions he had during the interview session.
Harry Granger heard what Steven said when he entered the mansion. He couldn't help but tease him, "Well, I didn't even have those difficult questions last time."
Eudora couldn't help but let out a muffled laugh. "It must be you who did it, right?"
How could she still be in the mood to laugh at this time, Amos thought.
Then, he sighed and said, "If they make things difficult for you later..."
"I'm not afraid!" Eudora straightened her back and said, "I've seen worse in the Meyer family. Don't worry!"
Everyone stopped talking when they saw Amos and Eudora walking into the mansion. Samantha was unhappy when she saw Eudora holding on to Amos' arm. Amos would normally keep at least half a meter away from others. But Eudora was able to get so close to Amos!
Steven greeted Amos and went upstairs.
Amos thought for a moment and said, "Let's greet Dad together!"
In the backyard, Old Master Granger was feeding the fish beside the pond. A servant was holding a tray of fish food and following him closely from behind.
Old Master Granger said the moment they approached him, "Amos, please wait for me in the study room."
Amos took a glance at Eudora. He didn't move at all.
Old Master Granger noticed Amos' averted gaze. He said, "Are you afraid that I will do anything bad to her?"
Amos acknowledged. He squeezed Eudora's hand, then turned around and left.
Eudora stood at the same spot for a while. She mustered her courage and walked over. She stood behind Old Master Granger and asked, "Sir, what can I do for you?" 'Sir?' Old Master Granger thought.
He stopped feeding the fish and said, "Well, it's good that you know what to do. But, like I had said before, you do not bring any advantage to Amos."
"Why do you think so?" Eudora asked.
She felt that Amos was much happier than before.
"I don't need to tell you what kind of person Amos used to be. I believe you should know. I won't mention the incident in which Amos protected you from being beaten last time. I guess you have already known about the news this morning. As you can see, Amos doesn't even care about the reputation of this family because of you."
Old Master Granger couldn't help being agitated when he recalled reading the news from the paper.
Eudora's heart skipped a beat. She said, "Are you trying to say that Amos was behind the news this morning..."
She didn't finish her words because she could already guess the answer. It was no wonder that Amos seemed to know that Samantha would come to the restaurant today.
It turned out that these were all part of his plan.
"How much?" Old Master Granger asked again, interrupting her thoughts.
"What?" Eudora couldn't react in time.
"How much do you need so that you'll leave Amos?" Old Master Granger asked.
Eudora frowned. She blurted out, "I don't want any money!"
"Oh, you don't want any money? Isn't it a deal between you and Amos? Well, there's always money involved in a deal. Tell me, how much is it? I'll pay you now. After that, please leave immediately!" Eudora's face was pale. "Yes, it's a deal. But, there's no money involved in this deal. I won't leave Amos unless he asks me to do so!"
"Haha!" Old Master Granger sneered. "I've guessed that you're not a simple person. Are you aiming for our property if you don't want any money? Are you trying to be the Young Madam of the Granger family? With your family background and your history, do you think it's possible?" he continued.
He spoke directly and calmly. However, it was an insult no matter which tone he used.
Eudora clenched her fists and said, "Old Master Granger, I respect you because you're Amos' father. Nothing more. You might look down on my family background and what happened to me in the past. But, I treasure these a lot and you have no right to judge! As for you, well, to be honest, you're not a good father since you have always interfered with your son's love life!"
Old Master Granger was consumed by anger. He shouted, "How dare you!..."
All of a sudden, someone screamed in the front yard before he could speak further. A servant ran over quickly and shouted, "Oh no! Something happened to the First Young Master!"
Old Master Granger was shocked. He asked, "What happened?"
"First Young Master suddenly passed out..." the servant said.
Eudora ran out immediately before the servant could finish her words. Old Master Granger looked at Eudora's fleeing figure and frowned. Then, he said, "Please call the doctor."
Amos was resting in his bedroom when Eudora arrived.
Samantha was standing at the door absent-mindedly. She didn't look good. However, no one paid attention to her now. Everyone was worried about Amos.
Eudora was stopped by Harry when she rushed towards the bedroom.
"Hey! How could you simply run around in the Granger Mansion?" Harry said.
Eudora frowned and wanted to say something. However, she noticed that the housekeeper and the Old Master Granger had entered the room with the doctor. Eudora knew that he still had Amos' best interests at heart, and definitely would not harm him. Thinking about this, Eudora was slightly relieved.
Kaylene couldn't help but mutter in a low voice when everyone was waiting outside, "It's not good for Amos to live outside alone. No one knows if some people take the opportunity to do something to him!" She was insulting Eudora indirectly. Upon hearing this, Harry supported Kaylene, "Brother, what Kaylene said is right."
Old Master Granger was not pleased. He said, "Please ask Miss George to leave."
The servants surrounded Eudora as soon as Old Master Granger gave the order. How could Eudora leave at this moment? Amos' safety was the top priority for now.
All of a sudden, the doctor pushed the door open and came out while they were arguing.
Old Master Granger got up anxiously and asked, "How is he?"
Dr. Leon shook his head and said with a serious look on his face, "Old Master Granger, First Young Master's condition is really peculiar. I've never seen it before!"
"What?" Old Master Granger took a step back. "How could it be possible? We've never encountered this kind of disease before too."
Eudora took a glance at Amos and saw the rashes on his face.
Her heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, she said to the doctor, "Can I have a try?"
The doctor was stunned. "Is this young lady also a doctor?" he asked.
Eudora shook her head and replied, "I'm not a doctor, but I've seen such a disease before. Please let me try."
"No way!" Harry stopped her. "You've no medical knowledge at all. Why are you making trouble here?" He didn't believe that Eudora could cure a disease. No matter what, he had to stop her. Eudora ignored him and looked at the doctor. She pleaded, "Please let me have a try!"
