My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 169

Although Eudora had been hoping that he would not appear in front of her, Amos somehow found

himself at the construction site after he left the company at noon.

Even though she did not allow him to get close to her, he still looked forward to seeing her.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a familiar figure standing by the side of the road.

Juju was dressed adorably, catching the attention of the people around. She looked exactly how

Eudora would dress a child up.

The next second, he saw Juju taking a step forward, and a huge car was speeding towards her.

Amos felt a chill down his spine. Almost in an instant, he threw himself over and held Juju in his arms.

Then, he heard a cracking sound. It was the sound of his arm hitting on the pavement.

Amos frowned but he ignored his arm. Instead, he was more concerned about Juju who was in his

arms. He asked in a deep voice, "Are you alright?"

Juju blinked her eyes and smiled.

"Uncle, is it you?"

Amos breathed a sigh of relief. "What are you doing here? Where's your mother?"

"Mommy is inside. I came out to buy something for her."

While they were talking, Amos heard Eudora's anxious voice behind them. "Juju, Juju."

"Mommy!" Juju shouted.

Eudora's heart, which was thumping wildly just a while ago, was finally at ease.

"Juju, why did you come out here alone? You've scared me to death!"

However, Juju pointed at Amos, who was paralyzed on the ground. He had fallen off his wheelchair,

and he looked a little disheveled. He didn't look like the dignified and charming man he used to be.

"Mommy, Uncle saved me."

Eudora pursed her lips and stepped forward to lift Amos' wheelchair up from the ground.

She then got up and grabbed his arm. "Let me help you up."

Her soft and tiny hand touched his arm. His nose was filled with her fragrance. Even after so many

years, he still couldn't resist her scent.

Amos closed his eyes to stop himself from tearing up. He then nodded his head and sat in the

wheelchair.

The heart- throbbing feeling disappeared the moment her hand left his arm. She then spoke coldly,

"Thank you for saving Juju. I'll call Clint. He'll be here soon."

After that, she turned around and wanted to leave with Juju.

Juju struggled and refused to leave. "Mommy, we should thank Uncle. Why don't we invite Uncle over Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

to our house?"

Eudora frowned and said, "No."

Amos was her tribulation. She had made great efforts to escape from him. Why did she come back?

She had never thought of coming back!

Juju said shamelessly, "Mommy, didn't you say that we should repay other people's kindness? Why

aren't you repaying Uncle's kindness then?"

Eudora's expression changed. "He's different."

"What's the difference?" Children were always filled with curiosity. Eudora felt that she had almost

fallen to Juju's trap, so she quickly changed the topic.

"Are you disobeying me now? I'm going to be sad if you continue behaving like this."

Juju was a sensible child. She finally quieted down when she heard Eudora's words.

But after walking a few steps, she stopped Eudora and said, "Mommy, Uncle is bleeding!"

Eudora was startled. She lowered her head subconsciously and held Juju's hand, only to find that her

sleeves were stained with bright red blood. She quickly checked Juju's body and realized that it was

not Juju's blood.

Her heart skipped a beat. Was it really Amos' blood?

Why didn't he say anything just now?

Eudora felt a tug in her heart and turned back to check on him. As expected, she saw that he had taken

out a bandage from the carry-on bag which was hanging behind the wheelchair. He was wrapping his

injured hand.

Wasn't he the magnificent Amos Granger? Why did he become like this?

Amos seemed to have realized that she was looking at him, so he raised his head to look at her.

"It's not very convenient being in a wheelchair, so I would get injured quite often. I would usually wrap

the injuries by myself."

Was he explaining to her? Eudora frowned and went over to take the bandage away from him. "I'll take

you to the hospital!"

Amos shook his head and said, "There's no need to do so."

"No!" Eudora said, "You got injured while saving my daughter. This is the least I could do."

Amos smiled lightly and said, "Alright then."

Eudora sent Amos to the hospital. The doctor said that his wound needed to be disinfected and

bandaged. Juju was confused and asked, "Mommy, didn't you say that wounds mustn't get wet?"

Eudora thought for a moment and said, "Yes, but we have to sanitize the wound with iodine solution

first, so that it would not get infected."

Juju was still confused.

She recalled the time when she had hurt herself, her wound was cleaned with iodine solution. It was so

painful that she cried.

Thinking of this, she suddenly ran up and grabbed the back of Amos' wheelchair. "Uncle, this is for

Amos was stunned and looked at the little girl who had just handed him a lollipop. It was already

unwrapped and inside was a hard sugar candy.

"Uncle, it will hurt when they clean your wound, but it won't hurt anymore if you eat this!"

Eudora was embarrassed and hurried forward to pull Juju back. "He doesn't eat candies."

Juju was a little disappointed. "Uncle, please have one!"

The next second, Amos nodded, took the lollipop and put it into his mouth. "Thank you! It really doesn't

hurt anymore!"

Juju smiled so brightly that her eyes were curved.

Looking at the interaction between them, Eudora started to feel even more uneasy. Thinking of this,

she quickly called Clint and told him that Amos was in the hospital. She then left the hospital with Juju.

When Amos came out, he found that Eudora and Juju had already left. He frowned and was about to

leave.

Harley's voice came from behind. "Amos, what happened? Are you alright?" When Eudora called just

now, Harley was coincidentally at the office too. When he heard the news, he quickly rushed over to the

hospital.

Amos shook his head and looked at Clint. "Go get the bill."

However, Harley stared at the lollipop in Amos' mouth in surprise. "Amos, are you really alright?"

Amos looked at him incredulously. "Do I look like I'm not alright?"

"Then why do you have that thing in your mouth? Is that a lollipop?" Oh my God, what an amazing

sight!

It was only then did Amos realize that he was still sucking on the lollipop which Juju had given to him.

In fact, this was the first time he had ever had a lollipop.

It was sweet and delicious.

"Just mind your own business!" Amos said and turned around to leave.

In the evening, Eudora sat on the bed and looked at her daughter who was sleeping soundly. People

said that daughters looked like their fathers. It was indeed true.

Juju was a spitting image of her father, especially her eyes, which were exactly like Amos'.

Thinking of this, Eudora frowned. "I mustn't let them see each other anymore. Amos may be able to

restrain himself now, but if he finds out that Juju is his daughter, things will be difficult then."

Perhaps she should enroll Juju into a school before she returned to Italy?
