Chapter 406 A Strange Sight
Amos nodded and exclaimed, “I’m sure we will!”
After that, Doctor Leon arranged for Amos to meet with Helen. After asking all the relevant questions, Amos finally headed home.
There was no one downstairs when he reached home. Amos made his way upstairs and happened to meet Auntie Valerie on the stairs.
“How is she?” Amos asked, “Did she vomit again after I left?”
Auntie Valerie nodded, “Yes, but it’s much better than before. She has just fallen asleep again.”
Amos nodded. Recalling the first-hand advice that he had just gotten, he immediately ordered Auntie Valerie.
“Please make some chicken soup for Eudora. I’ll call for you once she wakes up.”
He then turned around and went upstairs, gently pushing open the door.
Eudora was still asleep, and the equipment for the drip had been removed from the bed. There was a faint smell of medicine and it was a little unbearable.
Eudora certainly wouldn’t be comfortable with such a scent!
Amos opened the windows, walked over, and gently sat down by the bedside.
She looked like a little angel when she was asleep. However, who could tell how much this little angel had suffered to become the person she was now?
Amos reached out and took her hand. His gaze paused for a moment on her arm, which had become bruised after being pierced by the syringe. His eyes then slowly moved to her belly.
A little life was breeding in there.
Although he despised that little life in his heart, he couldn’t bring himself to hate him when he realized that it was Eudora’s baby too.
Doctor Leon was right. Since he had decided to accept the baby, he had to learn to forget the past. He told himself that the child was his and Eudora’s. It was their child.
Amos reached out and touched her flat belly.
…
Eudora, despite being in a daze, could feel that someone was touching her stomach. When she opened her eyes, she saw Amos sitting on the edge of the bed.
The moment she saw Amos, her mood gradually brightened.
She gave a warm smile and reached out to grab Amos’ arm, “You’re back.”
Amos hummed softly, looked over, and saw Eudora’s empty finger. He reached out and pulled off the necklace around his neck.
There was a wedding ring on the necklace. It was the one he had given to her during their wedding a few years ago.
Amos held the ring up to Eudora’s eyes, “Do you want it?”This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Eudora looked at the ring, and it looked somewhat familiar.
“Is it mine?”
“Yes!” Amos nodded, “I gave it to you before, but it came back to me due to various reasons. Now that we are married, it’s time to return it to its rightful owner!
Eudora stretched her finger out instinctively, gesturing for Amos to put it on for her.
When this ring was first bought, she was pencil-thin. Five years later, she was still as thin as she was back then, and the ring fitted her perfectly.
Eudora looked at the simple ring with satisfaction, “Not bad, it’s my taste.”
“Are you going to sleep more?” Amos asked. She seemed to be in much better spirits.
Eudora shook her head, “No. I’ve been sleeping for most of the day, and I feel like a pig. Shall we practice shooting?”
Amos went pale, “No, it’s too dangerous!”
Eudora was confused.
“Why couldn’t we? I remember the doctor said that I am already two months pregnant. We even went to Greene CIty and I even got into a fight then!”
Amos wasn’t that nervous at first. However, he became tenser at the mention of that event.
“How dare you bring this matter up! You couldn’t even get downstairs yourself these days, let alone get into a fight!”
Eudora was speechless. She felt as though she was being imprisoned.
She knew that she had to be more compelling and convincing in her reasoning.
“Please, just let me have some fun! Just once! Otherwise, I am going to die of boredom!”
Amos was still unconvinced. In the end, Eudora had no choice but to use her trump card.
“It’s so boring. I feel like vomiting again…”
Amos finally gave in, “I’ll go with you then! On one condition. You must listen to every word I say!”
“Alright!” Eudora said with a smile.
It was already good enough that Amos decided to let her practice shooting. She wouldn’t want to ruin the opportunity by being too greedy.
…
Downstairs, Juju was already aware of Eudora’s health. She was a sensible child, thus, she didn’t want to disturb her.
Juju and Charlie practiced shooting in the yard once she returned from school. Wesley, on the other hand, was transferred to Clearwater Bay for bodyguard duties after Eudora got pregnant.
At that moment, two underutilized bodyguards were busy accompanying the little girl.
Amos and Eudora made their way downstairs and noticed the trio at the yard. Eudora smiled and greeted Wesley, “It’s been a long time since we last met!”
Wesley was about to nod excitedly when he was met with Amos’s resentful eyes. He held back and muttered to himself in confusion.
President Granger’s jealousy had increased just within a couple of days!
Charlie, who was at the side, immediately gave him a knowing look. He meant to tell him to calm down as Amos’s reaction should be deemed normal.
At this moment, Eudora had already walked over.
“Are there any rifles left? I want to practice shooting too!”
Wesley handed a rifle to her and said, “Here…”
However, he could feel another chill came from afar before the rifle even landed in her hands. Wesley’s grip trembled as he didn’t know whether to hand it over or to take it back!
At this moment, Amos had already spoken.
“Juju, where’s your toy gun?”
Ever since Juju started learning to shoot with Charlie, she hadn’t actually used the toy gun. She then brought it over and said, “Here it is! Dad, are you going to practicing shooting with this?”
Without saying a word, Amos handed the toy gun to Eudora, “This is for you.”
Eudora was dumbfounded.
Was he out of his mind? She was an adult and yet he wanted her to use a toy gun!
“I don’t want it!” Eudora rejected it immediately.
Amos, however, was firm. He handed the gun over, “You promised to listen to me!”
Eudora looked at the toy gun speechlessly. She knew that she would be ridiculed by others. Must he give her something that even Juju refused to use?
She subconsciously looked at Charlie and Wesley.
Both Charlie and Wesley stared at Eudora, flustered. They quickly looked away when they met her gaze, one at the sky and the other at the ground, as though they hadn’t even been paying attention.
Eudora had no choice but to withdraw her gaze and accepted the toy gun unwillingly.
As soon as she held it, Amos held his hand behind her back.
“This toy gun is built to replicate an actual one. Hence, the recoil isn’t weak. I’ll hold the guns with you.”
Eudora was utterly dumbfounded.
Behind them, Charlie and Wesley covered their faces, finding it difficult to believe.
Amos Granger, who used to weave in and out of gunfire, was holding a toy gun at this moment and saying that it was dangerous. What absurdity!
