Chapter 940
Amos went to the shooting gallery.
When he arrived, Nelson was already waiting there.
Before Amos could say anything, the referee next to him had already started to make notes.
"He's punctual in spite of his injury. According to the marking rubric, he should be given credit for that."
Although the referee was taken aback by the strange marking rubric that had been provided by Amos,
he still tried his best to perform the evaluation based on it.
Amos no longer paid attention to him and he walked straight towards Nelson.
Nelson, who was originally sitting on a bench, got up and greeted Amos, "Mr. Granger, good afternoon.
May I know how the match will be conducted?"
The referee continued to assess Nelson and said, "He's polite and respects his elders, so points should
be given to him."
Amos cast a cold glare at the referee.
The referee instantly shut up and began to make notes with his head down.
Amos then opened his mouth and said, "You can set the rules since you're injured!"
Nelson pursed his lips and said, "Then, we can just follow the procedures of a normal shooting
competition!"
Amos agreed with him, "Sure!"
Then, the referee ordered some people to bring over the equipment.
"Let's start shooting simultaneously. Whoever has the highest score wins!"
Nelson nodded, and then the two of them picked up their guns to start the competition. They only
stopped shooting when the referee sounded a whistle.
The referee immediately walked towards the stationary targets to count the marks.
Before the result came out, Nelson's body wobbled for a while and he almost crumpled to the ground.
Amos furrowed his brow and saw that Nelson was supporting his back with his hand. It was likely that
the recoil of the gun had exerted too much force on his body, aggravating his injury.
Just as he was about to ask someone to send him back to the hospital, he heard Naomi's voice.
She yelled, "Nelson!"
Seeing Naomi running in from outside, Amos was astonished. Eudora was following behind her as she
panted heavily.
Amos quickly stepped forward and held Eudora.
Eudora said while catching her breath, "I...I..."
"No rush, take a rest first!"
Amos frowned and looked at Naomi with a hint of disapproval in his eyes.
"If she wants to come here, just let her be. Why are you chasing after her? You should take care of
your own body."
Although Eudora was still quite healthy at the moment, she had gone through some dangerous
situations years ago, and there were some mild problems in her body since then.
Especially in recent years, the symptoms were becoming more obvious and serious as she grew older.
Usually, if it was a windy or rainy day, or she was too tired, she would always feel some minor pain in
her body.
Currently, Amos basically no longer worried too much about Eudora, but it was inevitable that he would
feel uncomfortable when he saw his precious wife look so weary due to their own
child.
Eudora shook her head and said, "It's okay, I'm fine."
Naomi helped Nelson to stand up. She immediately asked, "Are you alright?"
Nelson replied, "I'm fine. Mr. Granger and I were just having a match. Why are you here?"
Naomi pursed her lips. The referee also came over with the results of their match.
"Mr. Granger gets 50 points whereas Mr. Luther gets 47 points. Mr. Granger is the winner!"
Nelson turned to Amos and said with a smile, "Mr Granger, congratulations!"
Amos gave a murmur of assent and turned to face Naomi.
"Send him back to the hospital! Then, come back and apologize to your mother."
After that, he bent down and carried Eudora as he walked out of the shooting gallery.
Nelson hurriedly said, "Mr. Granger..."
"Forget it, I'll help you walk out!" Naomi said.
Nelson held Naomi's hand and said, "I'm sorry that I got you into trouble. Mr. Granger seems to be
angry! He won't punish you, will he?"
Naomi shook her head and said, "You don't understand it. My father dotes on Mom too much and he's
angry because I caused my mother to be exhausted just now. As long as I comfort my mother well, I'll
be fine!"
Upon hearing her words, Nelson was dumbstruck.
He recalled the incident that he had almost hurt Eudora because he had been misled back then.
At that time, Amos had looked incredibly stern, ferocious and frightening.
Due to his young age, he had been scared out of his wits.
How could their relationship remain in such a good state even after so many years? Nelson had no
idea whether he was envious of them or he was just being sarcastic.
"Nelson?" Naomi called his name.
He came back from his reminiscing and replied, "Oh, I'm fine now. I'll go back to the hospital by myself.
You'd better go and see your mother!"
In the hotel.
Amos passed through the lobby with Eudora in his arms. Coincidentally, it was peak hour where many
people were checking into the hotel. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
With their behavior, they attracted a lot of people's attention at once.
Someone muttered, "That man is so handsome! He looks mature and charming.”
"That's right. Look at the woman in his arms. She's so happy!"
"For your information, those two people are really famous!"
"Who are they?"
"They're Mr. and Mrs. Granger!"
"I've never heard of them. Are they really famous?"
"They were very well- known back in the day. However, ever since Miss George started to prioritize her
family and returned to be a housewife many years ago, they haven't shown themselves in public for a
long time!"
Someone took out their phone right away and was ready to take photos of them, but was stopped by
the receptionist.
"I'm sorry. In accordance with our hotel policy, you are not allowed to take photos of our hotel guests!"
Everyone pitifully put down their phones and watched the two of them walk away.
Eudora was a bit embarrassed and said, "Hurry up and put me down! We're such an old couple
already, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Amos said in a muffled voice, "Since you've already said that we are an old couple, why should we be
afraid of them making fun of us?"
Eudora was rendered speechless.
She had no idea what to say anymore.
After returning to their room, Amos placed her on a sofa. Then, he went to get the massage equipment
from their luggage and came back.
"Sit down, I'll give you a massage."
Eudora said helplessly, "I'm really fine. I'm not that weak. I only ran for a while and there's nothing
wrong with me. I don't need a massage!"
Amos pulled a long face and said, "No, I can't comply with you this time!"
In the end, she still failed to manage to talk him out of it. She had no option but to sit down and let
Amos massage her.
When Naomi came back, Amos had just finished massaging Eudora. He was packing up the
equipment while Eudora was sitting on the sofa in a relaxed way.
Seeing her daughter back, Eudora was about to get up but Amos held her down.
He glared at his daughter. It seemed that Naomi had really touched a sore spot this time.
Naomi took the initiative to come over, "Mom, Dad, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let Mom follow me and
worry about me. I was wrong!"
Eudora shook her head and said, "I'm fine..."
Before she could finish her words, Amos had already interrupted her.
"You know what you should do."
According to the family rules of the Granger family, after she committed a mistake, she had to punish
herself with her most adept skill.
Since Naomi loved to practice self defense, her punishment was to maintain a fighting stance for an
excruciating amount of time! Without another word, Naomi turned around and got into position at the
corner of the room.
Eudora stood up and rolled her eyes at Amos. She asked, "Why are you being so strict with her?"
Amos held her hand and said, "She must be punished. Nobody can intervene for her sake!"
