One Night Stand With That Beggar

Amos and Eudora did not respond.

Eudora had fainted, while Amos was unusually calm. It was as if the heartbroken cry that Harley had just heard did not come from him.

Harley frowned, “Amos, are you alright?”

Amos remained quiet, “Do you have a handkerchief?”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Harley would usually not bring a handkerchief with him. However, ever since he met Thea, he had to be prepared for all kinds of disguise. One moment, he had to be a gentleman, and the next, he had to be lascivious. In short, he had been prepared all the time.

At this moment, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket hurriedly and handed it to Amos.

“Yes, here you go.”

“Thank you,” Amos said.

His politeness made Harley feel even more uneasy. “Amos, don’t act this. Do we need to talk in such a manner?”

Amos ignored him again. He took the handkerchief and wiped the blood off Eudora’s head carefully. Then, he whispered, “Honey, let’s go home!”

Harley’s heart skipped a beat and he rushed to follow them.

Amos was walking in the front while Harley followed behind him silently. The two of them stared fixedly at Eudora, but she had not woken up.

Finally, they got into the car once they arrived at the crossroad. Amos sat at the back with Eudora in his arms while Harley drove.

When they reached downtown, Harley looked at Amos from the rearview mirror and hesitated to speak.

“Amos, should we go to the hospital first?”

Amos didn’t even raise his head, “Let’s go home.”

“But…” Harley’s words trailed off.

He had forgotten that Eudora would have been against going to the hospital. If they were to bring her to the hospital, they would only be spreading the news to the public. Amos was thoughtful enough to consider this.

Amos then added, “Go to Clearwater Bay.”

…

Auntie Valerie had gone out for a trip with Juju. There was no one at home.

When they arrived at Clearwater Bay, Amos told Harley immediately, “You may leave now!”

He entered his room with Eudora in his arms. She had yet to wake up, and her face, in which the bloodstains had since been wiped off, became paler.

Amos took off her clothes and saw more bruises on her body. Thinking of the humiliation that she had suffered, he gave himself a punch without hesitation with his red murderous eyes.

He regretted immensely that he had gone to the bathroom at that time. Why didn’t he accompany her and watch her?

Amos only came back to his senses when the person on the bed started stirring. He picked her up again and went to the bathroom.

He held her in his arms as if he was protecting a baby.

He washed her body carefully and applied some ointment on her. Finally, he picked her up and put her on the bed.

Eudora, who was still unconscious, trembled all of a sudden. Amos’ heart sank and he embraced her hurriedly.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. It was from Harley. He was still worried and he ended up picking up Doctor Leon personally.

However, this matter was related to Eudora’s privacy. He did not say what it was for but only asked for the doctor to check on her health condition.

It was quiet in the room. Harley called out again, “Amos, it’s Doctor Leon. You should at least let him give Eudora a simple check-up…”

“Get out!” Amos was furious.

Eudora even refused to let him touch her now. He couldn’t accept the fact that she had to go through the check-up.

Harley tried to persuade him but to no avail. He felt sorry and explained to Doctor Leon, “Amos is not in a good mood now.”

Doctor Leon had known Amos for many years. Although Amos was usually cold and indifferent, he knew that Amos was definitely not the kind of person who would get angry easily.

When he heard his roar, he realized that something terrible had happened.

However, he still had professional ethics as a doctor. He did not ask about it but instead, he whispered,

“I will not leave for the time being. I’ll be in the living room downstairs. It’ll be convenient for you to look for me if there’s any problem.”

Amos didn’t say anything. Then, Doctor Leon made his way downstairs with Harley.

Harley had called the police and asked them to pay attention to Felix’s whereabouts. He didn’t tell them the details. Amos hadn’t given any orders yet, thus he didn’t dare to report the case.

He could only ask them to keep an eye on Felix. If they were to place this case on file, they could arrest him as soon as possible with the evidence they had gathered.

He and Doctor Leon stared at each other for a long time. Time passed by quickly, and it was getting dark outside. Harley jumped up suddenly and asked.

“I wonder if Amos and Eudora are hungry. Why don’t I prepare some food for them? Doctor Leon, you must be hungry, aren’t you?”

Doctor Leon nodded, “Thank you.”

Harley waved his hand, “It’s nothing.”

Then, the sound of clanging plates and pots came from the kitchen, as though he was going to tear down something.

The sound finally stopped, but a burnt smell emanated from the kitchen. Doctor Leon finally couldn’t endure it anymore. He got up and offered, “Perhaps, I could do it instead?”

…

Upstairs, Amos slept with Eudora in his arms for the whole afternoon.

Eudora had been asleep for the whole time. Amos kept his eyes open and stared at her, not willing to blink.

He felt that Eudora would somehow disappear if he were to blink for even a second.

He only relaxed slightly when the sky was dark.

However, as soon as he relaxed, he could feel something was unusual with the person beside him. Eudora’s whole body was burning like a fireball.

Amos panicked. He got up hastily and looked for antipyretics. He began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets upstairs.

At the same time, Harley and Doctor Lean heard a commotion coming from upstairs when they had just finished preparing dinner downstairs. Harley went upstairs immediately and knocked on the door.

“Amos, is everything okay?”

Amos found the first aid box and began to feel regretful again.

It was all his fault! This wouldn’t have happened if he had let the doctor perform a check-up on her earlier. It was all his fault that things turned out this way now.

“Amos?” Harley called again.

The first aid box in Amos’ hand fell to the ground. He opened the door hastily, “Where is Doctor Leon?”

Doctor Leon responded immediately, “I’m here. Is everything okay?”

Amos grabbed him hurriedly. He had never been in such a hurry. Doctor Leon was dumbfounded, “What’s wrong?”

“She has a fever!”

Doctor Leon heard him and walked in immediately. Harley wanted to go in as well, but after two steps, he returned to the door.

He knew that Amos was rather emotional now, so he thought better than to go inside the room.

Doctor Leon was surprised when he saw the gauze on Eudora’s head.

However, he did not say anything when he recalled Amos’ roar earlier. After checking up on her quickly, he said.

“It’s a psychogenic fever caused by anxiety. I’ll give her an intravenous drip first. She’s going to be fine!”

Amos felt a little relieved and let him put on the intravenous drip for her.

When he was fixing the drip for Eudora, Doctor Leon noticed the bruises all over her raised arm. He frowned slightly and fixed the intravenous drip for her quietly.
