My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 700
Amos didn't stop her. Instead, he covered her with the blanket that he had brought for her.
"Have a good rest! Your Mommy and Sugar Bun will be back soon!"
Wesley stepped forward in a hurry and asked Amos anxiously after Juju fell asleep.
"Mr. Granger, have you really found Mrs. Granger and the Young Master?
Amos shook his head, "No."
Wesley's heart skipped a beat and he fell silent. Yes, if he had found them, they would already be here right now. It was obvious that Amos was trying to reassure Juju. "I'm sorry. It's my fault."
Wesley was very frustrated. His martial arts and leadership skills were not as good compared to Charlie's when they used to fight side by side. Later, he found his own life goals because he was good at taking care of the children.
Even if he had to help Amos take care of his children, he was ready to do so wholeheartedly.
However, not only did he lose the child, but he couldn't take good care of Juju either. Amos had to rush back to console her instead.
"Mr. Granger, it's my fault this time. I'll replace a way to make it up to you, I promise!"
After that, he turned around and walked out quickly.
Amos was not paying attention to what he was saying. He had been thinking about his wife and son. He knew that Sugar Bun had been rejected Eudora.
His dear Eudora must be on the verge of breaking down.
The more he thought of them, the more anxious he became. He couldn't sit still either. He took out the computer again and forced himself to calm down. Then, he began to look carefully at the surveillance footages that Harley had copied for him.
Everything still looked the same. Eudora and Sugar Bun were taken by Mark and Baldrick, and it didn't seem that they intended to stop.
Not knowing how much time had passed, the vehicle finally came to a halt. Eudora could hear the men talking.
"Get them out."
Eudora could feel someone pulling her off the vehicle.
The surroundings suddenly became a bit cold after walking for a while. Eudora was pushed hard before she could react.
She stumbled a few steps forward and took off the black cloth covering her eyes.
Her hands and legs were untied. Perhaps this place was too remote, and they were not worried that she would run away with a child in her arms.
However, it was still pitch black in front of her when the black cloth was removed.
She still couldn't see anything!
All she could make out was that she was in a cave. She could hear echoes, and the walls surrounding her were cold. There was even water seeping through the corners. Eudora didn't dare to go any deeper. She found a relatively dry place near the entrance of the cave and sat down.
Fortunately, Sugar Bun had fallen asleep, which was her greatest comfort.
Eudora drifted off into her thoughts. She recalled what had happened just now.
What did those two men mean when they said that they were not doing this for money?
However, there were too many things going on and she couldn't sort out her thoughts in such a short time. She took a deep breath and calmed her anxious heart.
It was strange how fast things could turn awry. Earlier that morning, she was still busy with the company's grand opening, and then, here she was now, in a cave. It frightened her very much. Eudora felt her entire body went limp as soon as she sat down.
She had gone through such experiences before. She knew that she had to force herself to sleep. That way, even if she had a whole lot of issues to face tomorrow, she could still keep a clear mind. However, the baby in her arms woke up as soon as she closed her eyes.
At first, he cried in a low voice, but when he realized that he was in a stranger's embrace, he burst into loud sobs.
Eudora's exhaustion was immediately driven away by his cries.
She straightened her back and slowly patted his back, "Sugar Bun..."
Unlike when he was in the car just now, he seemed to have regained his strength after resting. He struggled with all his might as he cried. His fingernails dug into Eudora's skin, leaving her with a few cuts. Eudora did not feel any pain at all. In her heart, she only hoped that her son would not reject her.
The people outside were awakened by the crying and Baldrick roared.
"Could he just stop crying? If I had known this, I would have strangled him just now!"
Eudora shivered, "I'll soothe him right away!"
However, the more anxious she was, the more he cried.
Baldrick shouted, "Do you really know how to take care of a child? Are you his biological mother? You couldn't even take care of your own child. How could you be a mother?" Eudora felt a stab in her heart, "That's right. I can't take care of my child well. I'm indeed not a good mother."
She felt a lump in her throat.
She raised her hand to rub her eyes hurriedly. She should not cry.
She hugged her son and whispered to him repeatedly, "Cry no more, Sugar Bun. I'm begging you. If you continue to cry like this, I really don't know how to protect you." She didn't know if he understood her pleading or if he was tired again.
A moment later, the child fell asleep again. Eudora hugged him, tears streaming down her face.
This was probably God's punishment towards her for not taking good care of him after he was born.
This might be the reason why they had ended up in such a miserable state now.
Eudora drifted off in a daze. She had a dream about Amos coming to look for her.
It was no longer a cave enveloped in darkness. Instead, it was bright and dry. Amos looked at her with a smile, and his eyes filled with appreciation.
"Eudora, you're so great. You've taken good care of Sugar Bun."
Eudora was stunned. She lowered her head and saw Sugar Bun smiling at her.
He smiled as happily as he usually did when he was amused by Amos at home. There was not a trace of sadness on his innocent face.
That smile was magical. Eudora looked at it and couldn't help but laugh.
The picture changed all of a sudden and everything in front of her eyes became dark once again.
Amos was gone, and so did the child's smiling face. Instead, the child was crying loudly.
Eudora woke up from her daze. She felt dizzy and almost too weak to lift her arms.
The sky outside seemed to light up soon, and there was a glimmer of light in the cave. With the faint light, Eudora slowly picked up her son and stood up. She walked to the entrance of the cave and shouted. "Could you give me some milk powder and water?"
Sugar Bun had not eaten anything since the day before. He must be hungry.
Baldrick came over and glared at Eudora fiercely, "Who do you think you are? Are you here for a vacation? You've been kidnapped and brought here, yet you still have so many requests! No!"
Eudora pursed her lips, recalling the conversation between the two men last night.
The next second, she picked up a sharp stone from the ground and put it against her neck.
"You have tried your best to bring me here, so you don't want me to die immediately, do you? If you don't want it to happen, then follow my request! Otherwise, you'll fail to complete your task and all of us will come to a bad end."
