Chapter 324 Caution
Eudora George had her suspicions, but she kept them to herself.
She held the item in her hand securely and said to Bethany, “Doctor Leon is pretty good. Why don’t you ask him to take a look at you if you really feel unwell?”
Bethany Hamilton merely shook her head, “No! I’m much better. You and Amos have worked hard recently. I’ll deal with the family’s affairs once I feel better. You should focus on your business too.”
Eudora felt a little awkward, and she had always felt that Bethany’s words had a subtle meaning to them.
She ended the conversation and was about to leave.
When she turned around, she suddenly remembered what the Old Master had told her before he passed away.
“Before the Old Master died, he said that he had left something for you in the bank. He said that the password was only known by you and him. If you have time, you should go over and have a look.”
After that, she left.
Bethany frowned. After being stunned for a while, she finally left.
When she reached the bank, Bethany tried entering the password three times. She tried putting the Old Master’s birth date, her own birth date, as well as their wedding anniversary date. All three passwords were wrong, and Bethany finally lost patience.
She turned around and asked the staff next to her, “What’s inside the safe?”
The staff shook his head, “Sorry, we can’t disclose that!”
Bethany took a pile of money and handed it to the staff of the bank, “The safe and whatever it has inside belongs to me. I just haven’t thought of the password for the time being. I will know it sooner or later anyway. It’s not a big deal for you to tell me about it, right?”
The staff hesitated for a moment and then reached out to take the money.
“It seems to be some jewelry or something! And a letter left by the Old Master…”
Bethany’s hand stopped for a second. Then, she sneered and said, “Got it!”
As expected, the Old Master was still his old self. He kept saying that he wanted to live a good life with her. However, at the end of the day, he just regarded her as a helper to take care of him until his final moments.
He didn’t even leave anything for her after he died.
To think that she still had some hope left and thought that the Old Master had secretly left her some finances to settle down. They were all lies!
Liar!
Thinking of this, Bethany gritted her teeth and made a phone call.
“Steven, remember what we had agreed on this morning? Follow the plan.”
Bethany couldn’t believe that she still had to rely on herself up until the very end. Both her son and her husband were completely unreliable!
…
After a busy week, everything was settled.
In the evening, after coaxing Juju to sleep, Juju saw that Amos was busy in the study. When the Old Master was alive, he did not finalize his will due to various reasons. Therefore, as soon as the Old Master was buried, Amos began to be busy himself with the affairs of the inheritance.
In fact, Amos was extremely tired. Relatively speaking, he was even more tired than she was.
Eudora turned around and poured a glass of milk and brought it to him.
“Drink some milk, so that your stomach will feel better.”
Amos raised his head and glanced at her. His furrowed eyebrows finally relaxed a little.
Putting down the documents in his hand, he said in a low voice, “Feed me.”
Eudora did not refuse. She then walked over and brought the glass to his lips.
“Drink up.”
Amos grabbed her hand and gulped it down. Eudora curved her lips and reached out to pat him on the head, “Good boy!”
Amos’s eyes darkened. He reached out and pulled her back.
“How dare you? Do you think that I’m a child?”
Eudora rolled her eyes, “Well…”
“What?”
“I was just joking!” Eudora shook her head hurriedly.
It had been two weeks since the Old Master died, and Amos’ mood was finally getting a little better.
At this moment, Amos rubbed his hand against her waist. An idea flashed through her mind and she got up in a hurry. Amos was stunned, “I’m not going to touch you…”
The Old Master had just passed away, and he was not in the mood.
However, Eudora was embarrassed, “I didn’t say that you touched me! I just remembered something.”
When the housekeeper left earlier today, Eudora had casually put the note that the housekeeper had given her into her pocket. She had forgotten about it as someone else had beckoned her over when she came out.
At this moment, she took it out and read the note. Only two words were written on it, ‘Be careful’.
Eudora frowned, “What does this mean?”
“What’s wrong?” Amos asked.
Eudora took the note and showed it to him, “The housekeeper went back to her hometown and gave it to me before she left! Does she know something? Should we ask her?”
Amos shook his head and said, “Forget it, if she could tell you what she knew, she wouldn’t have tried to warn you in this way. It’s clear that she couldn’t tell you outrightly, and that’s why she came up with this. If we ask her personally, we would only put her in danger. I’ll ask everyone else to be more careful too!”
After a pause, he added.
“Haven’t you always wanted to go abroad? Why don’t you take this opportunity to spend some time with Juju for a while? I’ll pick you two up once I’m done with everything.”
Eudora frowned, “Are you saying this because you thought that it’s dangerous for Juju and I to continue staying here?”
“No!” Amos shook his head, “I just remembered that you wanted to further your studies since a long time ago.”
“I won’t go!” Eudora shook her head, “Juju and I will stay here and accompany you.”
“Okay then!” Amos did not say anything else.
He got up and hugged Eudora, “Let’s get married after the grieving period ends.”
Eudora was stunned, and she shook her head, “I’m not in a hurry.”
Amos sighed and said, “But I am! I want to marry you as soon as possible so that you will always be mine.”
Eudora pursed her lips, “I am always yours, aren’t I?”
“Hmm?” His voice was low and hoarse, “What did you say?”
He was deliberately teasing Eudora. She had blurted those words out of impulse, and she couldn’t say it again. She pushed him away, and she immediately turned around and left the study.
When the door of the study was closed, Amos stopped smiling gradually and looked at the note solemnly.
A moment later, he called Clint Zuckerberg.
“Arrange some well-trained female bodyguards to work as nannies at the house.”
Clint was sleeping when Amos called, thus he was in a daze. When he heard these words, he froze for a moment before he understood what Amos meant.
“Are you saying that you want a few female nannies who are trained in martial arts?”
“Was I not clear enough?” Amos asked.
Clint finally came to his senses. He said, “Yes, sorry, I was just confused. I’ll arrange it right away.”
“And…” Amos added, “They should look pleasant. I don’t want them to scare my daughter.”
Clint did not know what to say.
A special notice was sent out by the bodyguard team early the next morning.
“Female bodyguards needed. Must be skilled in martial arts and could take on nanny duties, such as taking care of children. Also need to look gracious ”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
At the time, the bodyguards looked at themselves in the mirror. It seemed that it was getting tougher for them to earn their own keep in this world. Even as bodyguards, they needed to be competent enough to be nannies.
