My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 504
The nearer the end was, the more she could not let herself be defeated by her own body.
After all, the child was still relying on her.
Moreover, she was still so young. She wanted to spend more time with her man, and she had not even seen enough of the world yet.
She hoped that she could spend the last few moments of her life with her loved ones, breathing the same air until the very last second.
Amos looked at her with pity in his eyes. For a second, he really wanted to say, "Go to sleep!"
However, there was still a little bit of selfishness in his heart. He wished that they could be together a little longer.
"Alright!" Amos nodded and called Charlie once again.
"Turn on the lights in the yard."
He didn't think much when he first bought this house in Clearwater Bay. However, he lived in this place every day when Eudora left him years ago.
Every day, he would feel that he should change a thing or two about this place so that Eudora would enjoy staying here if she were to return in the future.
Even the lights in the courtyard were all specially customized for Eudora as she liked to fly kites at that time. If she wanted to fly kites at night, at least, the yard would be sufficiently equipped for it. He didn't expect that it would come in handy today.
When all the lights in the yard were turned on, it was as bright as day.
Amos did some warm-ups with Eudora before handing a crossbow to her. "Use this! It's lighter. I'll check the target."
Eudora nodded. When Amos turned around, she couldn't help but yawn.
He hadn't noticed Eudora's behavior when he was inspecting the target. However, he saw that his little woman was sleepy the moment he turned around.
She just stood there, her large belly making her look even thinner and more fragile. She held the crossbow and arrow in her hands, her head already tilted to one side.
She looked as though she was about to collapse.
Amos ran back to her in a hurry.
Just as he was about to reach Eudora, Eudora's fingers flinched reflexively and she accidentally let go of her grip.
Amos was caught off guard as the arrow shot right past him, startling Charlie and Wesley who had been guarding them from a distance the whole time. "Mr. Granger..."
"I'm fine!" Amos waved his hand, indicating that they should stay where they were.
The next second, he caught Eudora firmly and held her in his arms. She leaned her thin little face against his chest naturally.
Amos picked her up and settled her on a bench next to them.
When Charlie and Wesley saw this, they looked at each other and went into the house, giving them some privacy.
It was the same for the next two days. Once Eudora fell asleep, she could not seem to wake up on her own. She needed Doctor Chilton's medicine to help wake her up.
She had also noticed it, so while Amos was not paying attention, she sent an email to the representative in TAG Group.
The email wrote that she might not be able to continue with the project. Her attitude was very sincere. Although she did not tell him what the specific reason was, it clearly stated that she would not be able to go on with it.
If they wanted to use her design, she could let them use it to show her deepest apologies.
As for the designers, the significance of the design was extremely important. Right now, she even requested that they use hers without needing to give credit to her.
In the end, the other party compromised.
Eudora breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that they might try to force the truth out of her. If so, she couldn't keep the secret from Amos anymore then!
For Amos, each passing day seemed to torment him more and more after Doctor Chilton told him about the three-day deadline. The afternoon of the next day, Clint sent a text message to him, "I haven't found a suitable kidney donor for the time being, but you can rest assured, President Granger, I'm looking..."
"There's no need forthat. Come back now!"
Clint was shocked and he asked, "Have you found one?"
Amos nodded and said, "Yes!"
He had already received the compatibility results from the hospital earlier that morning. His and Eudora's kidneys were completely compatible.
It was already the second day. He decided to ask Doctor Chilton to prepare for the operation for the next afternoon.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and went back to the living room.
Cindy was busy with her own affairs as usual, likewise for Charlie and Wesley.
Amos stood there for a while before saying, "All of you should take the rest of the day off. You may come back tomorrow afternoon."
Cindy was startled. "But what about Mrs. Granger..."
They all knew that Eudora was getting worse day by day. It was indeed a bit strange for them to be given leave all of a sudden.
"I know what to do."
Cindy wanted to say something, but Charlie stopped her before she could do so. "Okay, Mr. Granger. Well leave now and come back tomorrow afternoon."
Cindy didn't understand, so she asked in a low voice. "What the hell is going on? What is Mr. Granger thinking about?"
"Id*ot!" Charlie frowned. "Didn't you hear Doctor Chilton say that she only has three days left? Mr. Granger probably wants to spend their last days together, right?" "Oh?" Cindy frowned and said, "Then Mrs. Granger..."
"Alright! That's enough!" Charlie pointed his finger upstairs, hinting that Juju was home. The three of them then quickly took their belongings and left.
Amos waited for them to leave before turning around to look at the small, warm villa.
Everything inside had been personally picked out by Eudora, everything down to the cups all reminded him of her.
Every spot in this house marked their time together. He had told himself that he would be with Eudora for the rest of his life.
However, this time, he might have to leave first.
Amos was even a little glad that it was him that would be leaving instead of her.
Thinking of this, Amos took a deep breath and went upstairs.
Eudora was sitting in front of the computer, lost in her thoughts. When she saw Amos come in, she closed the email on the computer hurriedly.
Amos had already seen through her, but he didn't point it out. He just said, "Why don't we go buy some groceries to cook?"
Eudora was taken back. "We?" It was not that she didn't want to go, but she was just a little surprised. In the past, Amos would always refuse to let her do anything.
If she recalled correctly, she had never bought groceries with Amos before.
"Not just us. We'll go with Juju and Sugar Bun too. Us, as a family..." Seeing that Eudora didn't say anything, Amos explained again.
"Cindy, Charlie, and the others have some work to deal with, so we're the only ones left in the house. We would have to make our own meals for now!"
Eudora nodded. "Sure!"
To be able to hold hands, buy groceries and make a meal with the person she loved. Eudora felt that this was the happiest moment in her life!
It was just that....
Eudora halted again.
"I see that you haven't been dealing with the company's affairs recently. Mr. Granger, I know that you're very wealthy, but the company is still your responsibility. You couldn't possibly neglect your responsibilities for leisure!"
Amos looked at the woman's playful smile and curled his lips.
"It's fine."
