My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 720
It was Harley's first visit to Amos's house after coming back from the log cabin.
He came alone and took the two children to play in the garden for a while.
Seeing a band-aid on Eudora's head, Harley immediately asked curiously, "What's wrong? Have you gone through any harsh incidents again?"
Eudora didn't know what to say. Had she met that many bad incidents? It could only be the explanation why when Harley saw her, he immediately thought that she had a bad encounter.
Amos maintained a dignified gaze after hearing Harley's words.
"It's okay. She just wasn't being careful while walking."
After that, Amos took the lead and walked forward, "Let's go to the study room! I have something to tell you."
Harley immediately put down the child and followed him quickly.
The two of them always had a lot to discuss, so Eudora did not heed them and continued to play with the children.
As soon as Amos entered the study room, he went straight to the point.
"How is it going?"
It was no wonder that they made a good pair of partners.
"I investigated the two people you've asked Clint to send over a few days ago. One of them is the sworn brother of Thomas, and the other should be the former subordinate of Thomas. The sworn brother didn't say anything, but the subordinate didn't have much courage. He told something after being threatened."
Amos looked at Harley quietly and asked, "What did he say?"
"Nothing important. It's just that they didn't live a good life after Thomas left, so they felt depressed. Not long ago, they were unhappy when they heard about the marriage between Eudora and you. Therefore, they had this evil plan. They painted themselves as innocent people. They said that they were forced to do this because they've had a hard life, and they had no choice..."
The corners of Amos' mouth quirked and he said, "Do you believe them?"
"Of course not, not to mention that it was so many years ago when Thomas had been taken away. They haven't come up with any tricks for so many years, and they suddenly make so much trouble now. How can I believe them!"
"So, what are you thinking?"
"Mark should know some things. They've been quiet for so many years and they must have been instructed by someone to do so. However, he was so stubborn that he won't say anything." Hearing that, Amos showed a mysterious smile.
"Well, this will be simple."
Chills went down Harley's spine," Have you thought of a good idea?"
The most important thing was that Amos was not only guileful but also insidious. Of course, this kind of temperament was only displayed in front of others but never in front of Eudora. Amos smiled and said, "Tell me, why did he join hands with that person then? What's in it for him? What if he can't get any benefits in the end?" Harley's eyes lit up, "I know now!"
However, he silently grieved for Mark in his heart for three seconds. There was no other way. Who had told him to offend Amos?
Eudora had long forgotten about the kidnapping incident. In her heart, as long as she and her family were together, everything was perfect.
At this time, watching the two children having fun in the garden, Eudora could not help but go towards the two of them and play together for a while.
The three of them were playing rowdily in the garden. Amos and Harley saw this scene when they came out from the study room.
The corners of Amos' mouth curved up.
He said to Harley, "You go back first! Tell me once you have any news."
Harley agreed. Just as he was about to leave, Juju noticed Amos.
The little girl was wearing a white dress that day, which made her look like a little angel. Most importantly, her face looked exactly the same as Amos'! That was the significance of the inheritance. She ran towards Amos and said, "Dad! Come on, let's play together."
"Okay!" Amos took off his coat and left with Juju.
Looking at the family, Harley sighed inexplicably in his heart. How would Thea and his children look like if they had their own?
Would their children be as handsome as him? Or as pretty as Thea?
Just as he was thinking about it, his phone rang. It was Thea's voice, filled with anxiety, "I think Cutie Pie is ill! Do you have official duties to attend to now? Can you come back quickly and accompany me to the hospital?"
Thea sounded like she was about to cry.
Harley's heart skipped a beat, and he did not dare to let his imagination run wild any longer, so he hurriedly said,
"I'll be right back. Wait for me at home."
He immediately rushed back home. He opened the door, only to see Thea standing in the living room with tears all over her face. She sobbed, "It's all my fault. He was having a fever. Everyone said that if a child's fever isn't very serious, we can rely on external methods to cool down their temperature. I didn't expect that he would be like this now..."
Thea had always been a carefree and outgoing girl. She suffered from postpartum depression last time. He thought that she could get better if he accompanied her a little more often.
Only later on did he discover that it was not that easy.
At least until now, Thea still had not gotten better.
He hurriedly walked over and picked up Cutie Pie.
Then, he said, "Come on, let's go to the hospital. Cutie Pie will be fine!"
Originally, Harley thought that it was just an ordinary illness or fever. However, when they arrived at the hospital, the doctor arranged for another two people to examine the child.
Thea suddenly became nervous again, "Doctor, is there something wrong? Does Cutie Pie have a critical disease?"
The doctor opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Harley who was beside him, had already shaken his head at him.
"No! It's just a normal examination. Don't worry."
Thea finally calmed down a little and was led out of the room by Harley. Then, there was an examination and a test.
They had been busy until the afternoon. After the test results came out, Harley excused himself to go to the bathroom and went to the consulting room first.
The doctor checked the report and frowned.
"The child's heart valve has not grown well. There's the possibility of it healing by itself. However, now that he is ill, he needs to undergo an operation first. Otherwise, it will be life-threatening to the child." Harley was dismayed. "Are you serious? Did you make a mistake in the examination?"
"The information is all here. If you didn't take the wrong report, then I'm sure I haven't made a mistake."
Outside, Cutie Pie was still crying. Thea did not know what to do either, so she cried along with him.
Harley pinched the test report in his hand and was perturbed by the result. As soon as he went out, he saw the two of them crying.
He was worried and nervous.
"What's going on here?"
Thea wiped her tears and asked, "Why did you come back so late? He has been suffering. What should we do?"
Harley suddenly felt a little forlorn in his heart. He was not angry with Thea and the child, but with himself. Why didn't he take good care of them?
Otherwise, the situation would not be the same. One was suffering from postpartum depression, and the other was sick!
Harley took a deep breath and reached out to take both mother and son into his arms together.
"It's okay. I'm here."
Although Thea was in a bad mood, her mind was clear.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with our child's condition? Tell me quickly!"
