One Night Stand With That Beggar

By the time Amos Granger arrived at the hospital, he saw Bethany Hamilton, Harry Granger, Kaylene Yoder, and Steven Granger waiting outside the emergency room.

Amos looked around but did not see Eudora George.

He frowned slightly and asked in a hoarse voice, “How’s the Old Master?”

Harry ignored him. Bethany said in a low voice, “The doctor is fighting to save his life. The initial diagnosis is that the Old Master was poisoned.”

Amos nodded and asked, “Where is Eudora?”

Harry immediately ran toward Amos and punched him in the face, “Don’t you see what had happened? Yet you’re still thinking about Eudora. That woman poisoned your father!”

Amos snorted and wiped the blood off his lips.

“Did you investigate this properly before jumping to your conclusion? I need evidence, or I’ll assume that you are trying to frame her.”

He would never believe that a good person like Eudora would poison his father.

Harry gnashed his teeth in anger, “You…” He was about to punch Amos again when Amos grabbed his hand, “Uncle Harry, stop it. I didn’t punch you back because you are older than me, but that doesn’t mean that you can pick on me.”

Amos had always been aggressive. It was a miracle that Harry was able to punch him the way he did. However, it was ridiculous if he thought that he could do it again.

Harry finally withdrew his hand, but the expression on his face still looked terrible.

“Out of everyone in the family, the Old Master disliked Eudora the most. Moreover, as long as he was alive, you and she are not allowed to get married. She is the only one who has the motive to kill the Old Master. Furthermore, the servants were not around this morning because they had a meeting. She was the only one in the room when we got there. How are you going to explain this?”

Amos’s face darkened. The only thought in his mind was that Eudora must have been framed.

“I don’t have to explain anything else. Call the police. I believe in her. I believe that the police will find out who really did this!”

Harry was stunned and he looked at Amos in surprise. He probably didn’t expect Amos to respond this way.

Bethany, who was next to him, said hurriedly, “We are a family. Why are you guys arguing? The Old Master is still in the room fighting for his life. If he knows that you are at each other’s throats again, he will not be happy.”

Steven also nodded, “Yes, Auntie is right. Uncle has been hoping that our family would be peaceful again.”

Kaylene immediately gave Steven a look of disapproval, as if to say, “Which side are you on?”

However, Steven ignored her and turned to Amos.

“Amos, don’t worry. Eudora is fine. Things were urgent then, so my father only instructed for her to be locked up at home. There are food and drinks available for her. She’s not in any danger.”

Amos then breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, the door of the emergency room opened and the attending doctor emerged from the room.

Bethany hurried forward and asked anxiously, “How is he?”

Harry also asked, “Also, what kind of poison was it?”

The doctor’s face was solemn, “The patient has indeed been poisoned. He has taken a large number of anti-inflammatory drugs. That was how he was poisoned. We have already pumped his stomach, but because you found him a little late, the drugs were already in his system. It’s hard to say whether the patient will wake up or not.”

Bethany’s body trembled and her legs gave way.

When Steven saw that Bethany nearly fell, he quickly reached over and held her, “Be careful, Auntie.”

Bethany was so frustrated that she wanted to cry, “Who on earth is so cruel? Why does this person want to kill your uncle?”

Harry immediately said, “Doctor, are you able to tell when the dosage started to increase?”

The doctor shook his head, “I couldn’t tell for sure, but given the patient’s condition, it must have been at least a week ago.”

Harry immediately shouted, as if he had realized something.

“Did you hear that? It started at least a week ago! That was when Eudora started taking care of the Old Master. Do you still remember? At that time, the Old Master tortured her every day! She must have been extremely dissatisfied with him. That must be the reason why she poisoned him.”

Amos’ face darkened. He took out his mobile phone and made a phone call, “Harley? I want to file a report.”

Harry then shut up and said hurriedly, “Amos, what are you doing? If the Old Master is here, he would not allow you to call the police. Don’t make a fool of yourself…”

“That’s what you old people think, but I don’t care,” He hung up the phone after reporting the specifics to Harley Louis. Then, he immediately headed into the emergency room to see his father.

Bethany was already in the room, holding the Old Master’s hand. She didn’t let go for a long time.

Amos walked over and took a good look at his father. He was lying on the bed and a pipe inserted into his body. He suddenly felt some regret.

He should have agreed to spend more time with him when Eudora suggested it that day.

It turned out that it would be difficult to get a lot of things back once they were missed.

At this moment, Bethany said, “I’ll hand the family matters over to you guys. I’ll accompany your father in the hospital over the next few days.”

“Bethany!” Harry said hurriedly, “You have to seek justice for the Old Master. You shouldn’t’t let the culprit walk away freely. We’ll just have a servant to take care of the Old Master here.”

“I wouldn’t be at ease that way. Besides, I don’t like to intervene in family affairs, so that’s how it will be for now.”

After that, she got up to get a wet towel and gently wiped the Old Master.

Amos turned around and walked out when he thought of Eudora. When he was out of sight, Harry spoke sincerely.

“Bethany, now, you are the only one in the family who could handle Amos. If you don’t manage this, then who will? Are you just going to let this matter slide?”

Bethany’s fingers paused and she said immediately, Didn’t Amos just file a report? We’ll let the police handle the case.”

“Bethany, you are underestimating Amos. Amos is good friends with Officer Louis. If he wants to play dirty, it will be a piece of cake.”

“Nonsense,” Bethany scolded.

“That is what you think, but that might not be true. We should believe that the law is fair. Alright, you can go back now! You guys have to tend to our family matters.”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Harry did have the intention of going back. At first, he was looking for ways to take Amos down, but now, everything seemed to be going smoothly.

In fact, it would be best if they could get Bethany on their side. However, this useless sister-in-law of his was going to ruin their plan.

…

On the way home, Amos called Clint Zuckerberg, “Apologize to the shareholders on behalf of me and inform them that the Old Master is not feeling well at the moment. The meeting is to be postponed. Also, pay more attention to the company’s affairs, especially that amusement park. Most importantly, don’t forget about the thing that I had asked you to investigate.”

After hanging up the phone, Amos leaned against the car seat and closed his eyes.

A moment later, he arrived back at the family mansion. After getting off the car, Amos went straight to the room where Eudora was locked up.

Several servants were waiting outside the door.

Amos walked over and said, “Open the door.”

The servants looked a little distressed, “Young Master Amos, Master Harry has ordered us to keep this door locked.”
