My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 610
After Tyler uttered his last sentence, he slowly closed his eyes with a satisfied smile. Eudora couldn't help but burst into tears.
She recalled these few months where she returned to Greene City. However, the happiest times she had with Tyler were only during the past few days.
She regretted not understanding Tyler earlier.
If she had brought her two children to see Tyler earlier, he would have enjoyed more time being a grandparent. Maybe then, he wouldn't have quarreled with her and ended up in the hospital before dying a miserable death.
Fabian entered from outside and sighed painfully.
"Eudora, people can't come back to life after death, so please accept my condolences. No matter what, I'll always be with you!"
Eudora was stunned and didn't react to him the slightest bit.
While she was in a daze, Leslie heard the commotion and ran into the ward. When he saw Tyler's body, he broke down in tears.
"Sir, why did you leave like this? Didn't you say that you wanted to name my grandson?"
Leslie and Tyler had gone through thick and thin together for years, so one could imagine how close they were to each other.
After grieving for a while, he immediately came to his senses. He gritted his teeth and grunted, "Who killed Mr. Holt? I'll go replace him and kill him!"
Fabian hurriedly stopped him, "Calm down, Uncle Clarke. The police have arrested the criminal. Don't be impulsive."
Leslie's eyes reddened, "So someone did kill sir! Who was it?"
Fabian shot a brief glance at Eudora after hearing what Leslie said.
"It's... one of Amos' men."
"What?" Leslie's eyes were red and bloodshot, "Amos Granger? How could he do this? Although Mr. Holt separated him and Eudora, Mr. Holt is still Eudora's father. Even if he was going to do it for Eudora, he can't be so cruel!"
"But that was what happened..."
Fabian and Leslie had a massive argument in the ward.
Eudora's heart was in a mess. She stared at Tyler's face and couldn't help feeling heartbroken.
"Shut up, all of you!"
Leslie and Fabian fell silent at the same time. Eudora took a deep breath and asked, "Fabian, why were you downstairs?"
Fabian was stunned. He somewhat admired Eudora's intelligence.
During a situation like this, any other woman would be crying their heart out and would forget about everything else. However, she was still able to analyze everything that happened just now. What he didn't know was that Eudora was the type to grow calmer in the face of urgent and dangerous situations.
"I..." Fabian finally said, "I received Callum's call that the few people who stole our company's secrets were in this hospital. We were supposed to capture those people, but I didn't know that the police were lying in wait here. As for the fight that happened later, I regret that it happened too."
Eudora glared at Fabian coldly, as if she was judging whether he was telling the truth or not.
When Leslie heard this, he glanced at Fabian and frowned, "Miss Granger, Mr. Nolan wouldn't do harm to you, would he? Right now, the Nolan family and the Holt family should be fighting against the same rival together. Since the police suddenly attacked the Nolan family and how the Holt family had been friends with the Nolan family for many years, it would be likely that the next victim would be someone from the Holt family. Miss Granger, do you want to see Mr. Holt's properties destroyed to nothing?"
"Uncle Leslie!" Eudora interrupted Leslie and said, "I certainly won't let my father's business be destroyed, but I have my own judgments and opinions about other issues."
Meanwhile, Harley called Amos after bringing Charlie back.
"Something went wrong!"
Amos just had a lunch appointment with his customers and suddenly felt uneasy for no reason. Hence, he tried to call Eudora, but she did not answer.
As soon as he hung up the phone, Harley called him.
His heart skipped a beat, and he replied in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry!" Harley said with gritted teeth, "We went to arrest Fabian, but out of nowhere, Charlie's gun went off and shot Tyler in the chest. At that time... Eudora was beside him..."
Amos' mind immediately went blank, with all his thoughts flying out of the window.
His whole world had turned upside down. The scene of the petite lady who shyly threw herself into his embrace this morning appeared in his mind. He thought that he had finally gotten the happiness he longed for, but he didn't expect that it would suddenly leave him so soon.
Amos felt a tight knot in his chest as he said between gritted teeth.
"What happened?"
"When we left, Tyler was sent in to be rescued. I don't know what happened after that..."
Amos hung up the phone with a loud thud. Meanwhile, Harley frowned and went to the cell where Charlie was locked up.
In the meantime, Amos hurriedly called Eudora after he ended the call. However, no matter how many times he dialed her number, the phone line was always busy.
"Clint, give me your phone and the driver's phone."
Clint looked at Amos' anxious expression and thought that he wanted to show his affection to Eudora, so he made fun of him and snickered.
"President Granger, please take into account the feelings of those who are single."
Amos did not speak, but his face darkened even more. Clint immediately fell quiet and did what he was told. He handed over his and the driver's phones in a hurry. Amos instantly used the driver and Clint's phone to call Eudora, but there was still no answer from her.
He took a deep breath before giving a resolute order.
"Go back to Greene City right now."
Clint was flabbergasted and sputtered, "But we aren't done discussing our projects yet."
"You stay behind!"
Eudora sat beside Tyler's empty bed the entire time and didn't sleep a wink. At dawn, the door burst open.
Amos strode in and said, "Eudora! Sorry, I'm late."
Eudora felt her emotions sour. The moment she saw Amos, the fear and worry in her heart dissipated. She ran over and threw herself into his arms.
"Amos, tell me, why did it turn out like this? Why did Charlie kill my father?"
Hearing this, Amos's gentle face suddenly turned gloomy. Then, it felt as if the barrel of a gun was aimed point-blank at her chest. She heard him say, "Eudora, don't blame me." Following that, a bang was heard, and Eudora began to fall into an endless abyss.
She desperately opened her eyes and glanced at the familiar surroundings before realizing that she was dreaming.
In the hospital last night, Leslie had already arranged for a subordinate of the Holt Family to cremate Tyler's body, and Eudora was brought back to the Holt Manor.
Eudora gazed at the familiar room in front of her. She recalled that the first time she entered this room, the servant told her that the room was something that Tyler had personally prepared for her. She couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness crash over her.
Leslie came to knock on the door and said, "Miss Granger, it's dawn. Mr. Holt's funeral is about to begin!"
"Ok!" Eudora wiped away her tears and changed into the mourning dress that she had prepared earlier on.
Tyler's mourning hall was prepared in the hall downstairs. This was the Holt family's headquarters, so it was only suitable to hold a funeral ceremony for the head of the Holt family here.
The desolateness of this scene looked ironic and was a stark contrast to a grand funeral ceremony.
She still remembered her first time coming to the Holt manor. Tyler had held a large banquet for her. The bright, shining lights and extravagant celebrations seemed like nothing but a dream now.
When Leslie noticed Eudora's doubts, he whispered to her, "I've already informed everyone. However... Mow that the news of the Nolan family has been spread out, it's inevitable that the Holt family will be implicated. I'm afraid..."
