My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 1007



Chapter 1007

Amos looked at Eudora affectionately and said, "So, stop telling me to act otherwise!"

Eudora's tone became solemn as she replied, "Naomi is our daughter! She's not a bad person!"

"She took sides with a bad person, and she harmed you in the process. That's where her fault lies!"

After that, he stretched out his hand and held Eudora's shoulder.

"Well, we've been talking for a long time. Are you hungry? I've asked Uriah to make some delicious

dishes for you and send them over. I think it's about time the food arrived. You should eat first!"

Eudora turned her head away and ignored him.

Amos was not angry. He turned around and went out.

Naomi had been standing outside of the ward for quite a while, brooding over Eudora's condition.

However, she didn't dare to go in since Amos didn't allow her to do so.

She could only wait outside silently.

Unexpectedly, she saw Nelson stumbling out of his ward while she was waiting.

"Why are you here?"

Naomi hurriedly supported him and said, "Didn't you hear what the doctor said just now? The doctor

said that your body is very weak now. The dosage that you had taken in was really high and it might

cause some side effects. Why aren't you resting well in your ward? What are you doing out here?"

Nelson looked pale and haggard. He shook his head as he replied, "I'm fine. This incident happened

because of me. I've said that I will accompany you, so I cannot break my promise."

Naomi shook her head and said, "I'm fine. I don't blame you for anything!"

"I know you don't, but I'm blaming myself right now. If I can't even protect you now, how will I marry you

in the future?"

Naomi said helplessly, "Then, let's sit over there!"

"No, I'll stand with you."

Amos stood behind the door of the ward and looked at the two of them, who were smiling at each other.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered the scene when he had gone back to the Granger family

with Eudora back in the day.

At that time, Old Master Granger had also disliked Eudora, but Amos had insisted to remain with her.

Back then, Old Master Granger had used an underhand tactic by kidnapping Juju from her

kindergarten. After receiving the news, Amos went with Eudora to the Granger family.

In the end, Old Master Granger had asked him to choose between Eudora and Naomi. Eventually, he

made the choice to stay together with the both of them.

After he did so, Eudora and him had also been smiling at each other, just like how Naomi and Nelson

were doing at the moment.

Amos frowned as he recalled the memory. Suddenly he heard Harley's voice.

Suddenly he heard Harley's voice in his head again, "In my opinion, Nelson might not be faking it this

time."

Could it be true?

Amos was unable to be certain about it.

As he was thinking, Naomi and Nelson picked up on his movements. They turned around and saw

Amos.

Naomi instantly stood up straight obediently.

"Dad!"

Amos cast a glance at the IV drip that was attached to Nelson, then he walked over to them with an

inscrutable expression.

Naomi stepped forwards and wanted to go into the ward, but Amos warned her again.

"Your mother is resting. Don't disturb her!"

Naomi could only step back and asked, "Is she alright?"

"As long as I am here, your mother will be well," said Amos. His tone was still a bit unpleasant but

Naomi knew that he was already being lenient with her.

Shortly afterwards, the food was sent to the hospital. Amos went to the entrance to take it, and then

returned to Eudora's ward.

As he passed by Nelson, he looked at him and spoke sternly.

"Don't gather around here. You'll disturb passersby."

After that, he entered the ward and slammed the door.

Naomi was rendered speechless.

Amos placed the dishes in order and checked them one-by-one. After confirming that there was no

problem with them, he put on a tender smile as he took a bowl full of food, and walked to Eudora's

side.

"Okay, it's time to eat!" Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Eudora turned her head away and continued to ignore him.

Amos frowned and said, "Don't do this. Didn't we agree that no matter what, we shouldn't express our

grievances through a hunger strike? Besides, if you don't eat, you will end up starving."

Eudora was resolute so she took no notice of his words.

Amos was annoyed so he said, "Fine! I'll eat it myself!"

After saying that, he pretended to scope a spoonful of food to his mouth.

However, when he was about to eat it, he couldn't help but sigh again, "Although Uriah is already old,

his cooking skills are still as good as that in the past. To be precise, he seems to have gotten better at

cooking. Look at this soup, the color is great and it smells good too. Furthermore, it contains your

favorite mushrooms!"

Eudora started to salivate.

Ever since Uriah and her had gotten to know each other, he had asked Eudora to taste his food every

now and then in order to express his gratitude towards her as she had once saved Valiant East

Catering.

In the past few years, she had contributed to the success of every new recipe that he had developed.

The bowl of soup being held in Amos's hand at the moment was a prime example. In fact, it was

inspired by Eudora's dream.

In the dream, she had enjoyed such a soup a lot. When she woke up, she immediately wrote down the

ingredients and gave it to Uriah.

However, the taste of the soup had not been pleasant as it contained one unique ingredient that had a

remarkable scent and was hard to handle.

To her surprise, Uriah had successfully made the soup of the dreams. So, Eudora would normally rush

over to Amos to have a taste of the soup.

Unfortunately, her current situation was a bit different.

She couldn't indulge in delicious food just yet.

Actually, she knew that Amos was doing this for her sake. He was a little disappointed in Naomi and

wanted to take the opportunity to educate her. On the contrary, from Eudora's point of view, she felt that

they didn't have to worry too much about Naomi's decisions.

Back then, Amos and her had also made their own choices.

To her, if someone were to plan everything out for her and force her to follow it, then life would become

meaningless.

She thought the same for Naomi, knowing that Naomi must have been yearning to lead her own life

without much of her parent's interference.

"I don't want to eat!" Eudora stubbornly turned her head away.

This time around, Amos truly was helpless.

"Okay!"

After putting down the dishes, he got up and went out.

When the door was closed, Eudora turned to observe the empty room. She could feel Amos's dejection

laced in his upset tone just then.

Then, she thought to herself, "Why am I being so sentimental? I must have aged indeed."

Eudora wanted to go out and have a look, but she held back eventually.

She covered herself with the quilt and pretended to fall asleep.

Later on, she genuinely fell asleep. When she opened her eyes again, there was still no one in the

room.

She was a little thirsty, thus she called out to Amos, but no one responded.

Eudora licked her lips and got up to pour herself some water. To her dismay, the water jug was empty,

and there was not a drop of water inside.

Eudora put down the jug, feeling a little dejected. Then, she walked over and opened the door.

The corridor was as quiet as her ward, and there was no one around. Eudora was flummoxed by the

heavy atmosphere of her surroundings. She walked towards the end of the corridor and finally saw

Amos standing alone at the smoking area of the balcony.

There were cigarette butts at his feet, as well as in his hands.

Unlike his usual spirited appearance, he looked like a pitiful lost child at the moment.

"Eudora, I thought that you would always be on my side. However, it now seems that I'm no longer as

important in your heart as I thought."
