Chapter 149
After changing into a fresh set of clothes, Amos Granger looked like his handsome self again.
Eudora George admired his side profile silently. How could anyone not like this man?
While she was still lost in her thoughts, Amos spoke.
"I was in the hospital last night. Wendy woke up."
"Oh." Eudora nodded with a calm face. This made Amos frown, "Eudora, do you know something?"
Eudora nodded again. "Well, I know that she is unable to get pregnant again and I also know that she
saved you. She saved you again, Amos."
She said it calmly, but it felt as if a giant rock was pressing on her heart.
That last sentence,
also seemed to be asking Amos what he was planning to do next.
Amos frowned and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about her. Is everything going well in your company?
And oh, is your tummy all right? Two days ago, you said that you had a stomachache. Did the doctor
say anything about it?"
Eudora was stunned and thought of the pregnancy report.
She then shook his head and said, "It's alright. It's much better now." When they arrived at the
company, Eudora got out of the car and left. When Amos' car was already far away, she came out of
the lobby and stared at the disappearing car.
As soon as Amos arrived at the company, he received a phone call from the hospital.
"Miss Liam has been crying ever since she found that she could no longer bear a child."
Amos frowned and hurried to the hospital.
When he just arrived at the door of the ward, he heard Auntie Agnes trying her best to persuade
Wendy in the ward.
"Miss, please come down. How am I going to explain to Mr. Granger if you die just like this?"
Wendy did not listen. "I'm already broken. Do you think anyone would like me in the future? Just let me
jump. I don't want to live anymore!"
Amos frowned, opened the door and went in.
"Wendy, come down."
Seeing Amos in the ward, Wendy sobbed even louder.
"Amos, don't come over. I know that my existence is a burden to you and Miss George. It's all my fault.
Just let me die!"
Amos' frown deepened, and he quietly gave a knowing look at Clint Zuckerberg behind him. Clint
immediately understood and slowly moved toward Wendy.
On the other hand, Amos was still talking to Wendy. "There are still ways to treat your body. Don't you
think it would be a pity to lose your life now? Didn't you say that you want your design company to be
publicly listed?"
Wendy paused and stopped wailing.
Clint immediately got up and grabbed her from behind, and the others also rushed forward and pulled
her down from the windowsill.
Wendy stepped forward and threw herself into Amos' arms, bursting into tears.
Amos grimaced and tried to push her away, but he didn't move in the end.
After she was done crying, Amos called for Auntie Agnes. "Help Miss Liam to the bed. Let her get
some rest."
Wendy continued clinging herself onto Amos' arm. "Could you please stay here with me for a while?"
Amos pursed his lips. He took a moment before answering, "There are still some things in the company
that I need to attend to. I'll visit you tomorrow."
After that, he left with Clint.
After he left, Auntie Agnes helped Wendy to her bed. Auntie Agnes murmured, "Miss, Mr. Granger is
still very kind to you. You must cherish yourself."
Wendy didn't say anything and closed her eyes.
When Auntie Agnes saw that she was asleep, she opened the door and went out.
After Auntie Agnes left, a thin figure pushed the door open and came in from the corridor. He walked
slowly to the bed and stared at the woman lying on the bed.
After a long time, he sneered.
"Are you still pretending?"
Wendy opened her eyes and frowned at him. "What are you doing here?"
Caleb Chuck took off his mask, and the smile on his face was filled with contempt. "What do you think
I'm doing here? What's wrong? Do you think that you could get rid of me after taking advantage of
me?"
Wendy's face turned pale. "What are you talking about? When did I use you?"
"Didn't you? You said that you wanted to kill Amos, that's why I helped you. But you disregarded your
own safety to save him, and now you lost your ability to conceive. Tell me, shouldn't I teach you a
lesson?"
With this, he reached out to grab Wendy's jaw.
Wendy shivered. "It's not what you think. I did not have a choice. I could only do so in that kind of
situation. Now, I finally have Amos' trust. When I get the money, we can finally go far together!"
Caleb was still indifferent.
His fingers were still gently rubbing her chin. All of a sudden, he squeezed her chin tightly.
"What do I need those money for? Could you still bear a child for me?"
Wendy's face turned pale and she cried out immediately, "It hurts..."
"Do you still know pain?" Caleb roared at her with red eyes, "What about me? Don't you know that I'm
in pain too?"
Wendy was stunned. She didn't know what he meant at all.
"Caleb, if you like children, we could always adopt them when we have money in the future! Or we..."
Caleb finally let go of her jaw. He regained his composure and said, "Woman, you think too highly of
yourself. Do you think someone like me would like children?"
Wendy breathed a sigh of relief.
He suddenly stretched his hand out to touch her lower abdomen. His fingers were so cold that she got
goose bumps.
Caleb had always looked gentle. However, the smile that crept across his face when he stared at her
belly made him look eerie. It was as if he wanted to pry her belly open.
After a long while, he let out a sneer and slowly moved his fingers to the bottom of her navel.
"Perhaps it's a good thing that you can't give birth to a baby anymore."
Wendy was scared out of her wits. She thought he was going to hurt her again, so she pleaded in a
hurry. "I haven't recovered yet. We're at the hospital."
Caleb didn't say a word. He withdrew his hand after a while and asked.
"Do you think that Amos would accept you just because you've become like this? You were going to
jump off the building just now, but it didn't look like he was worried at all." His words shot Wendy right in Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
her guts. She snorted and said, "He will agree!"
When she said this, her eyes were full of viciousness. Caleb raised his eyebrows and caressed her
face with appreciation. "You're really my woman. Interesting."
At that moment, they could hear footsteps coming from outside the door, and Wendy said warily,
"Someone is coming, you should leave now!"
Caleb snorted, but he did not move.
Wendy had no choice but to peck him on the lips. "Go, now."
Caleb's eyes darkened, and he pressed her for a long kiss. He even pinched her breast before he left.
"Take good care of your body, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
After that, he put on the mask, turned around and went out.
Soon Auntie Agnes' voice came from outside the door. "Who are you? Why are you coming out of Miss
Liam's ward?"
Caleb paid no attention to her. Auntie Agnes hurriedly pushed the door and came in. "Miss, are you
okay? Who is that person?"
"Nothing, he just came into the wrong ward!" Wendy said dryly.
Auntie Agnes didn't think much and let it slip, while Wendy raised her hand and touched her lower
abdomen. She paid such a big price for Amos. How could she give up so easily?
