My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 85

The servant cried out and avoided the attack.

Amos Granger raised his hand to catch the cup. Then, he threw it to the servant, who was standing

behind him, and strode inside.

"Wendy! What's wrong?"

The originally mad woman seemed to come back to her senses the moment she heard Amos' voice.

She rushed towards Amos immediately. "Amos!"

Just when she was about to run into his arms, Amos placed his hands on her shoulders, "What's

wrong?" He asked.

Wendy paused for a moment. Then, she said in horror, "I had a nightmare. In my dream, someone was

whipping me in a dark basement!"

Upon hearing this, his gaze darkened, and said in a hurry, "It's alright now. It's just a dream. You're now

in Rosaville City, which is tens of thousands of miles away from that place. Those people will never

approach you again."

"But I'm really scared!" Wendy said in a trembling voice.

"It's okay." Amos said. Then, he helped her to sit down on the bed and said, "Look at the flowers on the

table and close your eyes. You will have a beautiful dream this time."

"Really?"

"Of course!" Amos nodded his head and said. Upon hearing this, Wendy closed her eyes obediently.

Seeing how she was calmer, Amos took a deep breath and wanted to get up. All of a sudden, Wendy

opened her eyes and said, "Amos, could you please stay here beside me?"

Amos looked at his wristwatch. It was about one o'clock in the morning.

"Okay. You should sleep first."

Wendy closed her eyes with satisfaction, and managed to calm herself down immediately.

The servant couldn't help but praise, "Mr. Granger, you know how to comfort people so well."

Did he even comfort her? Amos was also shocked. Harley would definitely burst into laughter if he

heard that. Amos was an indifferent person who spoke nothing but cold words just six months ago.

Unexpectedly, he knew how to comfort people now.

Amos suddenly thought of the lazy and mischievous woman. He couldn't help but smile.

'She should have fallen asleep by now, right?' He thought.

Amos missed her so much. He stood up immediately and said, "Please take care of Miss Liam. I'm

going back now!"

"Okay!" The servant responded and nodded.

However, just as he was done saying those words, Wendy opened her eyes again. She asked, "Amos,

are you leaving?"

Amos frowned, "You were not asleep yet?"

"I'm not going to sleep. Bad guys will come to me if I fall asleep!" Wendy said.

Amos was a little helpless. He tried to comfort her, "There won't be any bad people anymore!" Then, he

turned to look at the servant, who was standing behind him and said, "Why isn't the doctor here yet?"

The servant said immediately, "I'll go ask where he is now."

Wendy looked at Amos apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, did I trouble you? Please just go back now.

I'm fine being alone."

Although she said so, Amos knew that she wasn't emotionally stable yet. Therefore, he shook his head

and said, "No, I'm not leaving."

"Really?" Wendy smiled and said, "Can you please tell me a story then? Perhaps I'll fall asleep

listening to the story."

A story? Amos frowned and said, "I don't know how to tell a story."

"Just tell me a story!" Wendy begged, "Just one!"

After thinking for a while, Amos suddenly remembered the story Eudora George told him back then,

when he was having rashes.

He opened his mouth, looking somewhat awkward as he spoke.

"How many steps would it take to put an elephant into the refrigerator?"

Wendy looked at him in shock and asked him back, "How many?"

Amos remembered how he refused to answer Eudora, as he was feeling very itchy from the rashes

back then, so he wasn't in the mood to cooperate with her jokes.

Eudora begged him twice for a reply. Seeing how he kept quiet, Eudora could only answer herself.

"Three steps!"

"First, you have to open the refrigerator door. Second, you have to put the elephant in. Lastly, you need

to close the refrigerator door!"

Eudora burst into laughter after she finished speaking.

Amos' lips curved into a smile when he thought of the moment.

Wendy looked at him shockingly. She said, "Are you smiling? Wow! This is the first time I've ever seen

you smile. I must remember this joke forever!"

Amos was dumbstruck. Did he just smile?

All of a sudden, the servant came back, "Sir, Dr. Leon is here!"

Dr. Leon was a psychiatrist whom Amos had hired just to treat Wendy. When Dr. Leon entered the

room, he was very surprised to see that Wendy had already calmed herself down .

"Did you give her any medicine?" Dr. Leon asked.

"No!" The servant said. "Mr. Granger came in and comforted Miss Liam, and she recovered after that."

Upon hearing this, the doctor glanced at Amos as he said, "Well, this is a good sign. This shows that

her condition is improving. As her family member, you should spend more time with her. You should

also let her communicate with more people under suitable circumstances, for her to be more

independent as well. Or perhaps, you could let her go to work, it might speed up her recovery process."

"Can I really go to work?" Wendy asked happily. "Amos, did you hear that? I can go to work!"

Amos frowned and said, "But, she's still frightened when she is in a crowded area. Can she really go to

work?"

"Yes. But, she has to be familiar with the people working in the company. I think this shouldn't be a

difficult task for you, Mr. Granger."

Wendy quickly grabbed Amos' arm and said, "I want to go to work."

Amos pulled his arm back subconsciously as he asked, "Do you really want to go to work?"

"Yes!" Wendy said with a smile. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

"What do you want to do then?" Amos asked.

"I..." Wendy thought for a while before she said, "I haven't thought about it yet..."

"I remember back then you mentioned to me that you like designing clothes, right?"

Upon hearing that, Wendy was dumbfounded.

"I almost forgot about it!"

She mentioned this to Amos when she was comforting him last time. She said, 'What do you want to do

after we get out?'

However, Amos remained silent then. Thus Wendy continued on her own, "I want to learn fashion

design. I want to design a beautiful dress!" Her eyes were gleaming as she spoke back then.

Unfortunately, she looked so sorrowful now, unlike before.

"It doesn't matter!" Amos said, "You can always start from scratch. I'll get a teacher to teach you

fashion design tomorrow!"

"Really?" Wendy was overwhelmed. "You're so kind to me, Amos!"

The next day, Eudora woke up, subconsciously looking at the spot next to her.

Amos was not beside her. She sat up immediately to look at the clock on the wall. It was already past

eight o'clock in the morning.

Was he not back yet?

She didn't bother to change her clothes either. She went downstairs hurriedly, and saw Amos sitting in

the living room.

He was reading the newspaper, like he always did.

The anxiety in her heart then vanished into thin air. She walked towards him and put her arms around

his waist. "When did you come back?" She asked.

The man turned around and kissed her cheek. "I came back at three o'clock in the morning. I didn't

want to wake you up because you were sleeping soundly."

"Oh!" Eudora remained silent for a while before she said again, "Well... let's have breakfast together!"

"Okay." Amos nodded his head, and took her hand. "The doctor suggested for Wendy to get to know

more people. I planned to organize some team building activities this weekend. You..."

"I'm not free!" Eudora interrupted Amos before he could even finish his sentence.
