One Night Stand With That Beggar

Although Amos hadn’t told him much about what had happened to Eudora last time, Doctor Leon was an experienced professional, so he had his guesses.

According to the gynecologist’s description of the pregnancy, it must mean that the child…

He felt a bit overwhelmed at the thought. He didn’t know what to say.

He stood motionless for a long while before finally letting himself in.

Amos was standing by the window in the room. The bright light that was glaring through the windows and onto his figure made him look like a desolate shadow.

Doctor Leon took small steps as he approached him and started to speak.

“Perhaps, I could strike up some sort of deal with my friend. Do you want to terminate the pregnancy while it is still in its early stages?”

Amos froze.

His tall, brooding figure heaved out a heavy sigh before he could get his words out.

“I’ll think about it…”

Doctor Leon nodded in understanding. He knew how Amos felt at this moment. He didn’t want to hurt Miss George but if this child was conceived from that incident…

They were now in a huge dilemma.

“A pregnancy which is still well within its first trimester could be terminated without causing much harm. If you want to go ahead with it, I’d suggest you make the decision as soon as possible.”

After that, he turned away and left. The tension in the room was becoming too uncomfortable for him to bear.

Once again, Amos was left alone in the room. He stood in his place with his gaze fixed outside the window. He watched as the sun slowly set before him.

Darkness gradually enveloped him.

“President Granger’s busy in the study. Miss Juju, please don’t disturb him,” Auntie Valerie’s voice rang from right outside.

Amos let out a huge breath to get himself together before opening the door.

He was met with a worried-looking Juju. She asked him if her mother was sick. “No. Mommy’s just tired from the trip before, so she’s just resting. You don’t have to worry about it, alright?”

Juju nodded her head in understanding.

Juju had really matured a lot over the past six months. She would rarely make a fuss whenever she was at home.

Amos suddenly felt a little regretful. He was her father, but it felt as though he hadn’t played any part in his daughter’s growth.

He had just been presented with a grown child one day. It was  easy.

Eudora must have suffered a lot before then.

At this moment, the bedroom door upstairs creaked open. A dazed-looking Eudora walked out with hair that resembled a bird’s nest. She stood at the top of the stairs, looking down at him.

“Amos, how long have I been asleep? It’s already dark outside.”

When his gaze landed on Eudora’s bare feet, he quickly walked over to her and carried her in his arms.

“Why are you walking around barefoot? The floor’s cold.”

“It’s fine. I feel fine! Why are you being so gentle with me today? Is it because I wasn’t feeling well this morning?” Eudora asked as she leaned closer into his embrace.

She let out a quiet sigh when Amos remained quiet.

“Well, if this is the treatment that sick people get, they must feel so blessed! It seems like I should get myself ill more often in the future…”

“No! Stop with that nonsense,” Amos interrupted her sternly.

His sudden ferocity shocked Eudora, and she was trembling slightly in his arms. Hurriedly, he softened his voice and continued, “If you promise to stay well and healthy from now on, I’ll be nice to you every day, okay?”

“You got it!” Eudora said with a grin.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Amos carried her back to the bedroom. When her mind gradually cleared from the sleepy haze, she recalled back to her hospital visit that morning.

“Hey, have you let the doctor review my medical report yet? What did he say?”

Her words made Amos’ heart almost beat out of his chest.

After a long pause, he said, “It’s nothing. It was just like you said. You were just tired, and that’s all. You’re a smart cookie, aren’t you?”

“Are you surprised? I’ve always been very smart! Well, can you now rest assured?” She said with a cheeky grin.

Amos nodded.

After she slipped into a pair of slippers, she got up and rubbed her belly, “I think that I’ve somehow transformed into a pig these past few days. I’m getting hungry again. Come on, and let’s head down to eat.”

Amos’ eyes fell on her lower abdomen. He reached out to pull her back, holding her tightly in his arms.

“I have a question for you.”

Eudora was thinking about the sort of delicacies that she could ask Auntie Valerie to prepare for her later, so she hadn’t quite picked up on his change of tone. “Hmm?” She asked, vaguely unconcerned.

“It’s…” Amos started, hesitating.

Eudora looked at him with her head tilted and inquired, “Are you alright? Why are your eyes turning red?”

Amos was shocked. Was he really crying?

He quickly sniffed and hid his pained expression from sight.

“I just wanted to ask… do you think you want to have another child since Juju’s older now?”

Eudora’s head instantly started to hurt.

“I don’t think that that’s a good idea at the moment…” She said. She didn’t know what she used to be like but she knew that she liked being carefree. Moreover, she already had Juju, so why would she want another child?

“Really?” Amos asked.

“Yeah. I do like you now and I think being with you is pretty alright. However, having a child is not a small matter. It’s a huge responsibility, which I might not be able to take up at the moment,” she explained her stance firmly.

She was very rational. Although she had lost her memory, she was still the same as before. Her views on raising children had not changed.

Amos nodded in understanding.

Since she didn’t want to give birth to another child, it would mean that she wouldn’t be sad if he chose to take the baby away, right?

“Well? Do you have any more questions for me? I’m very hungry, you know. I want to go downstairs.”

“Yes. Come on then. Let’s go,” Amos said, planting a kiss on her forehead before letting her go.

Soon enough, Eudora skipped down the stairs happily. As soon as she left, Amos took out his phone and gave Doctor Leon a call.

“How does the procedure work?”

The doctor felt quite gratified when he heard that they have made their decision. It seemed like the most appropriate choice. It would only hurt both of them in the long run if they were to keep the child.

However, if they were to terminate the pregnancy now, it would be like bidding goodbye to the past. The couple would then be able to move onto a better, brighter future together.

“We’ll first need to check up Miss George to see if she’s suited for the procedure. She’ll be given some medication after that. If all goes well, then everything will be fine. It’s simple! Even though the process isn’t a very dangerous one, we still need her full cooperation. You need to discuss this with her first before anything else, alright?”

“I understand. Right, let’s start the day after tomorrow, then. I’ll have everything arranged accordingly.”

After that, he put his phone down and made his way downstairs.

From the stairs, he could see that Eudora was wandering around the kitchen like a starved kitten waiting to be fed.

He felt a slight sting in his heart at the adorable scene. Eudora had always been such a good girl. Why did God have to play such a joke on her?
