Chapter 94
Chapter 94
Amos Granger stood by the bed looking at Wendy Liam, who was still in a coma.
The servant was very scared, "Sir, Miss Liam didn't allow me to tell you about this. She doesn't want
you to worry."
Amos wanted to say something. However, Wendy, who was on the bed, opened her eyes slowly.
Looking around her, she paused for a moment before saying, "What happened to me?"
The doctor finally heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Seems like Miss Liam is much better now. There
shouldn't be any serious problems."
Amos looked at his wristwatch and found that the competition was over.
Therefore, he didn't rush anymore, and turned to ask Wendy, "Why didn't you take care of yourself?"
"I'm sorry, I really didn't want you to worry about me." Wendy said.
Upon hearing this, Amos frowned. "Forget it. Get some rest. I still have something to do!"
"Amos!" Wendy lifted the quilt immediately and caught up with him. She grabbed his arm.
"You haven't come to see me for such a long time. Can't you stay with me for a little longer? I promise
I'll let you go back before the sky turns dark. I'll also take care of myself in the future." Wendy's tone
was filled with plead. Amos recalled that she was a strong and tough girl when they were in the
basement back then. It was hard to imagine what she'd gone through to become like this.
Amos couldn't bear to refuse and nodded his head eventually.
"Okay."
"Thank you, Amos." After saying that, Wendy stood up to say, "I'll cook for you then. I've learned a new
dish from someone recently. I was going to cook for you last time, but you never came."
"You don't look so well, you don't really have to do that." Amos said.
"It's okay. It won't take long." After saying that, Wendy pushed Amos to sit down on the sofa outside
and went straight into the kitchen.
Amos took out his mobile phone, the screen was still showing his text conversation with Eudora just
now.
Eudora didn't send any text messages to him after that last one, "What a sweet-talker".
Amos thought for a while before he typed:
"I'm sorry, Eudora. Wendy wasn't doing well all of a sudden, so I didn't manage to keep my promise.
How's everything?"
Amos hesitated and thought the text might not be appropriate. He deleted the draft message instead.
After thinking through, Amos chose to give Eudora a phone call. However, Eudora did not answer it.
Amos frowned. That woman must be mad at him.
At that moment, Wendy came out of the kitchen with the dishes in her hand.
"It's time to eat!" she said.
Both of them sat facing each other on the dining table. However, Amos couldn't stop thinking about
Eudora. He simply took a few bites. Seeing that the sky had turned dark, he stopped eating.
"I'm full." He said.
Wendy was disappointed. "Was it because I didn't cook well?" She asked.
"No, it's my own problem." Amos replied.
He realized that he would only enjoy the dishes if he ate with Eudora. The dishes he ate with her were
his favorite no matter what.
"Please finish the soup then, it's very delicious. Do inform me earlier if you're coming next time, I could
stew it for longer hours so that it would taste better." Wendy said.
"You don't have to do this. You're still not well. It would be better for you to rest more. Also, I've helped
you to register your company. You can start the business as soon as you recover!"
Wendy's eyes lit up. "Really? That fast?"
"Yes!" Amos nodded his head and said, "I'll head back first then."
However, Wendy hugged him out of the blue and said, "Amos, you're so kind to me. I really don't know
how to thank you."
Almost subconsciously, Amos felt a trace of annoyance.
He reached his hand out to push her away and said indifferently, "I should thank you instead. You
wouldn't have become like this if weren't for me."
Wendy wanted to say something. However, she swallowed it back in the end.
Watching Amos drive the car away, the servant next to her said nervously,
"Miss Liam, do you think Mr. Granger knows that we lied to him?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wendy gritted her teeth and said, "Only you and I knew of the
fact that I pretended to be in a coma. How would he know?"
"But, Mr. Granger is so nice to you. I don't think it's a good idea to lie to him." The servant said.
Wendy furrowed her brows and said, "Do you think I really wanted to do that? He hasn't visited me for
a long time. What should I do?"
Furthermore, she bumped into that person on the day she went shopping. To her, Amos was the only
person she could rely on. If she didn't grab onto him, she would return to those dark days spent in the
basement. She was already used to her current life, and she wasn't going to let it turn back.
After leaving the apartment, Amos gave Eudora a call again. However, she still didn't answer the phone
call.
He called home too. However, Auntie Valerie was confused, "Aren't you with Miss George?" Well, it
seemed like Eudora didn't go home either...
Amos frowned hard. This time, he dialed Christopher Gellert's number.
The call went through almost immediately, and he heard Christopher speak arrogantly, "Mr. Granger,
who are you looking for? To have called me at an hour like this?"
Amos knitted his brows and asked, "Where did you take Eudora?"
"Me? Are you sure you're asking the right person? Where could I take her to? Aren't you her
boyfriend?"
Amos heard Eudora's voice through the phone when Christopher was talking.
"One more shot."
Then, Christopher said, "You've drank too much. Please stop drinking."
Followed by the noises which sounded like a chaotic scene, Christopher's phone hung up just like that.
Amos' brows knitted tighter as he dialed again. However, Christopher's mobile phone had been
switched off.
Amos gritted his teeth and shouted, "Christopher Gellert!"
Amos gave Clint a call immediately. His words were of obvious anger, "I give you ten minutes to find
out where Eudora and Christopher are drinking at!"
Upon hearing this, Clint was shocked.
"Okay!" As long as it was an order from his boss, he had to do it even if it costed his life! Fortunately,
he had a lot of connections after working with Amos for many years. He sent the address to Amos
immediately. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
A night club?
'How dare this woman go to a night club?' he thought.
Amos gritted his teeth. Then, he started the car engine, speeding his way to his destination.
Eudora's colleagues were leaving the night club. They were saying goodbye to each other.
Eudora was holding two bottles in her hands. She walked while mumbling, "I didn't drink too much.
Christopher, I'm so happy today. I managed to make it to the final round of the competition. I've finally
done something to make myself happy after so many years. I'm happy."
"Okay, I know you're happy." Christopher felt helpless. He wanted to grab the wine bottle in her hand.
However, Eudora grasped it tightly.
"I still want to drink. Don't grab my wine. You bad guy!" She said.
Her words had started to attract the attention of others. Therefore, Christopher could only persuade her
gently, "Okay, I won't take your wine. Please just get into the car with me, I'll take you home."
"Home? What home? I don't have any home!" Saying that, she rushed forward again and almost
tripped over the steps. Christopher was startled. He wanted to help her up. However, Eudora had
already thrown herself into someone's arms.
"I'm sorry...1', Christopher was only halfway through his sentence, when he met Amos' gloomy eyes.
