My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 502

"Um... President Granger? Would you like me to do it instead? I'll do it exactly how you want it!"

Although Cindy was a girl, she had always been competing with men since she was young. Thus, her mindset was almost the same as that of a man.

She thought that she wasn't good enough.

Amos shook his head, "That's not necessary. Eudora likes the pancakes that I make."

Cindy was taken aback.

Enough with this public display of affection already!

She had no choice but to turn away dejectedly, leaving Amos alone to make the pancakes.

As soon as Amos was done, Juju was up too.

"Daddy, you're cooking today! I like the food that you make."

Amos smirked and said, "Go and call your Mommy. Breakfast will be ready soon!"

Juju skipped upstairs happily. Soon, a scream came from upstairs. "Mommy!"

Amos' hands trembled, and he put down what was in his hands hastily and ran upstairs. The door was wide open. Juju was standing beside the bed with tears streaming down her face. Amos' heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong?"

"Mommy won't wake up!" Juju rubbed her eyes as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Amos' mind went blank for a moment before stepping forward hurriedly. When he stretched his hand out, he found his fingers trembling.

He pressed a finger lightly on Eudora's neck. There was still a pulse. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and called softly, "Eudora..."

Eudora's eyelids moved, but it was as though she was in a daze and unable to wake up.

Charlie and Wesley heard the commotion and rushed to the room. Seeing this scene, they shouted hurriedly, "Get the doctor."

"I'll go!" Wesley said. He immediately drove his motorcycle and sped out with a vroom.

"Daddy, will Mommy be okay?" Juju asked in a trembling voice.

No matter how strong she usually appeared to be, Juju was just a young child. She was really frightened when she saw this with her own eyes. Amos reached out and pulled Juju into his embrace. "Yes, your Mommy is very strong. So, we must be strong too."

Juju nodded. "Yes! Juju will be very strong for Mommy!"

She got down from Amos, opened the door, and ran out.

Cindy immediately followed after her. If something bad were to happen to Juju at this time, their family would probably be ruined, wouldn't it?

After they all left, Amos placed Eudora's hand against his lips.

"Eudora, please don't scare me."

He hadn't once been fearful of the world, but at this moment, he was drowning in complete panic.

Wesley came back with the doctor shortly after. He almost got scared to death when Wesley sped all the way here. Fortunately, he still had the calmness of a doctor. Otherwise, he might really have peed his pants.

Doctor Leon and Helen also arrived shortly after. They were all anxious when they learned that Eudora's situation had worsened.

Helen, in particular, headed straight for the bedroom upon arriving. She saw Amos sitting at the edge of the bed, his head lowered as he looked at Eudora.

His long and slender fingers were brushing off the strands of hair on her forehead gently.

She couldn't see his expression clearly from the distance, but when he just sat there, he radiated a sense of sadness so strong that it couldn't be dispelled. Helen's heart ached for him as she quickly walked in.

"Mr. Granger, Miss George..."

"Get out!" Amos said coldly.

Helen opened her mouth but paused as she didn't know what she did wrong. Amos had been so gentle to Eudora just a moment before, so why was he treating her this way? "Get out!" Amos repeated. Only then did Helen cover her face with her hands and ran out of the room, feeling humiliated.

It wasn't until Helen had run away that Amos finally covered Eudora with the quilt and followed her out.

"Doctor Chilton, Eudora doesn't know that I already know that she's sick, and I don't want her to know either. So, you have to be careful when you are examining her."

Dr. Chilton nodded and said, "Understood."

Helen finally understood why Amos was so strict with her. Was it because of this?

He was probably worried that she might accidentally let the cat out of the bag and Eudora would replace out about it. After all, Eudora was only asleep, or perhaps... she was listening too...

Helen finally calmed down a little. She walked over and said, "Mr. Granger, I'm sorry. I almost misspoke. I apologize."

Amos didn't even look at her. He then followed Doctor Chilton into the room.

Helen pursed her lips together. Her fingers, which were hanging by her sides, trembled slightly.

Doctor Leon glanced at Amos, and then at his own daughter. He immediately sighed and said, "Helen, I know what you're thinking. Listen, you may have any man in the world, but Amos is off limits! He only cares about Eudora. Even if something bad happens to her, she'll always be his only one. No one could replace her..."

Helen pressed her lips together. "So, Dad, in your heart, was Mom always your 'only one'? If so, why did you look for someone else after Mom died?"

Doctor Leon was taken back by her question.

"You brat! Everyone is different!"

Helen didn't say anything else. It was only after a long while that she finally spoke again,

"Dad, I'm just joking. I just envy the relationship between Mr. Granger and Miss George. I assure you that I don't have any absurd thoughts!"

"That's more like it!" Doctor Leon said. When he saw that Doctor Chilton had come out, he quickly changed the subject.

Doctor Chilton didn't look well. In fact, he looked even more terrible than he did before entering the room.

Behind him was Amos, who followed him out quickly.

"What's happening?"

Doctor Chilton shook his head and said, "It's the worst stage. Miss George is showing symptoms of poisoning in its last stage. This is exactly how the poison attacks. The patient will tend to fall in deep sleep, and in the end, they might even die in their sleep, just like that. Helen, you'll need to prepare for the premature delivery of the child soon."

Amos had already grabbed Doctor Chilton's arm before Helen could say anything.

"Have you forgotten what I told you the last time? If she dies, I die too! If you are ready to give up on her, give me what I asked for."

Helen looked at Amos in shock.

"Mr. Granger, you..."

Amos cast a cold glance at her before she could finish her sentence.

"Shut up! How dare you speak here!"

Helen's face turned pale. Beside her, Doctor Leon quickly pulled her behind him. "Amos, I know that this is bad news for you. But you mustn't act impulsively! Doctor Chilton is just suggesting this for the time being. Eudora still has a chance!"

Doctor Chilton nodded. "Doctor Leon is right! I could still use some medicine to wake her up for the time being. And..."

He paused before saying, "I wasn't planning on revealing this so soon, but I might have found the cure. I have not tested it out yet, but I'm confident that I may have found a way to control this poison!"
