One Night Stand With That Beggar

Steven’s heart was in turmoil. When his phone rang, he simply ignored it.

“President Granger, Miss George is calling you,” the assistant reminded him eventually.

Slowly, he started to come back to his senses. Kesha had been the one to solve his previous crises. Could she still solve his problem this time around?

With that in mind, he quickly picked up the call.

“Kesha, where have you been?”

Hearing his voice, Kesha calmed down a little. She knew that he wouldn’t leave her hanging! With her anxiety momentarily abated, she let out of huge breath and started to speak.

“You seem to be in a bad mood from what I’ve gathered before… What’s the matter?”

Puzzled, Steven paused to scroll through his call history. Sure enough, he had made a phone call just now. He must have accidentally dialed her number.

Well, he might as well be out with it in that case.

“You must’ve heard what I said just now, right? We’re doomed, Kesha.”

Her heart skipped a beat as she heard, “What do you mean? What are you talking about?”NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

She spared a quick glance at Felicia. Fortunately, it looked like she had not overheard their conversation. She turned away from her hastily and walked out from the kitchen just in case.

Steven proceeded to tell her the whole story from start to finish.

“We’ve been exposed. Bethany’s going to shut down our company soon. What do you think we should do?”

Kesha’s heart dropped instantly.

She had just been fantasizing about finally having a leg-up on Eudora. How could this fantasy of hers shatter so quickly?

She couldn’t take it anymore.

“Is it because of Amos?” Kesha asked. She had heard Steven mention something of the sort just now.

“Most likely, yes. Kesha, that isn’t important right now. I think that I might have to head back to the amusement park again…”

Before he could even finish his sentence, Kesha interrupted fiercely.

“Why isn’t that detail important? I think that it’s very important!”

“What?” Steven asked, still puzzled.

“You don’t know, do you? Eudora’s pregnant! They managed to wipe your parents off and even kick us out of the company. Now, they’re just going to have a baby and go on with their life as though nothing had happened!”

“Where did you get the news from?” Steven asked with clenched fists.

“I heard Eudora throwing up in the toilet myself. My mother has experienced similar symptoms before, so she’s sure of it. Steven, how could you take this humiliation? Do you really want to let Amos return to Valiant East just like that?”

“Of course not! But I don’t know what else we could do to stop it from happening!”

“Well, since they’ve messed with us, we’ll have to return the favor, don’t we? Bethany mentioned that Amos had a hand in this matter, which would mean that both of them will be competing for your position next as long as you leave the company. But what if we make it so that Amos wouldn’t want to fight for the position? That way, once you take Bethany down, we could still take control of Valiant East.”

Steven, who had looked disheartened before, immediately perked up at her words.

“You’re right. That old hag, discarding me away after all I’ve done for her… I couldn’t possibly just let that slide!”

“That’s the spirit!” Kesha said. She remembered that Eudora had said something about going to the hospital today. And so, she hurriedly took off.

“I’ll follow them to the hospital now. Don’t do anything rash. I’ll get back to you when I’ve gathered more intel!”

After she hung up, she headed straight to her car.

Based on Amos’ usual habits, Kesha knew that he would have taken Eudora to the best hospital around. Without any more deliberation, she drove herself to Superb Maternity Hospital, the nearest hospital to Clearwater Bay.

When she arrived and found a parking spot, she caught a glimpse of Amos’ car parked nearby as well.

Without wasting any more time, she started to rush into the hospital.

…

In the corridor outside the laboratory, Eudora did a blood test as per the doctor’s instructions.

Amos, on the other hand, stood behind her, looking stern.

The doctor hadn’t told them what the problem was. He had immediately suggested that Eudora do a blood test as soon as they arrived, causing Amos to panic. He wanted to ask the doctor directly but he was afraid of scaring Eudora. Hence, he chose to hold himself back.

After the doctor had done taking her blood, Amos quickly helped her into a chair nearby.

“Are you alright?”

“Do you think that I’m so weak? You make it seem as though I couldn’t take care of myself. I’m not disabled or anything, okay?” Eudora muttered.

“Don’t speak such nonsense!” Amos said with a frown.

Eudora stuck her tongue out at him. When she noticed that his expression did not change one bit, she continued to say,

“You’re so fierce today. God, it’s making my head hurt…”

When Amos heard that she had a headache, his expression turned even more solemn, “What? Where does it hurt? I’m going to get the doctor…”

“Hey…” Eudora protested softly. “I just need you to relax a little, alright? Could you just do that for me?”

Amos let out a huge sigh as he reached out to take Eudora into his arms.

“You’ve fallen ill, and how could I possibly relax?”

The last incident had already almost scarred Amos to death. If anything else were to happen to Eudora, he felt that he would collapse!

“I’m not ill! I’m feeling fine, honestly. I think that it might have been the food that I ate yesterday might have upset my stomach. Come on, smile a little. I’ll feel even better if you smile for me.”

Amos forced himself to smile after a while. Eudora complained, “Ugh, that doesn’t look sincere at all! Do you even know how to smile properly?”

After that, she reached out and start to lift the two corners of Amos’ lips with her fingers, forcing him into a smile.

The people passing by them couldn’t help but whisper amongst themselves at their warm display of affection.

“They’re such a sweet couple! They look gorgeous!”

“You’re right, especially that man… He really loves her, doesn’t he? I’ve never seen such a caring man before…”

“It’s such a pity… All the good men in the world are almost always taken…”

Kesha, who was standing nearby, was watching them as well. After a long while, she started to head towards the laboratory after she deemed the timing appropriate.

…

Just as she entered the laboratory, she coincidentally saw a doctor flipping through a file with Eudora’s name on it.

She hurried over and asked anxiously, “Doctor, are my sister’s test results out yet?”

Who’s your sister?” The doctor asked.

“Her name’s Eudora George!”

“Ah, Eudora! What great timing, her results have just come out. I believe that congratulations are in order. She’s pregnant! However, you guys have been really careless, you know. She’s already three months in. You guys checked in a bit late. But luckily, she’s doing alright.”

Kesha was taken aback by the news. She did some quick calculations mentally.

It had been three months since the incident at Felix’s place so the timeline didn’t really match up. Wouldn’t that mean that they had conceived this child before Old Master Granger’s death?

As if sensing something was troubling Kesha, the doctor asked, “Are you alright? Is there a problem?”

Kesha gave herself a hard pinch on the thigh and started to speak.

“Doctor, my sister is in a huge dilemma. Please, you have to help her!”
