Chapter 196


    Amos could not bear to see her cry. He felt that his heart was about to be ripped in half by the tears of


    the mother and daughter.


    Without thinking about anything else, he hugged both of them tightly without hesitation. "I''m here, so


    you don''t have to be afraid anymore!"


    Originally, Eudora was just worried, but because of Amos'' embrace, it triggered her to cry even harder.


    At this time, she suddenly didn''t want to care about the past or the fiancee.


    She didn''t want to think about anything else. She just wanted to have a good cry.


    Thinking of this, she cried even harder in the arms of this familiar man. She wept and wept as if she


    was sobbing away all the years of helplessness, fear, and grievance.


    In the end, even Juju had stopped crying, leaving Eudora to cry her heart out sorrowfully.


    Amos looked at her, his heart aching, "It''ll soon be morning if you keep on crying!"


    Only then did Eudora return to her senses. She rubbed her eyes and saw that Juju had fallen asleep


    again.


    Eudora looked a little embarrassed. After crying, she was back to her old self again. She took a step


    back and withdrew from his embrace. "I''m sorry that I woke you up. You should go back to sleep!"


    Amos didn''t know what to say.


    This woman.


    "What do you really think of me? Am I a bolster or a tissue? Are you just going to throw me away after


    you''ve finished crying?"


    Eudora bit her lips "Then, next time when you cry, I''ll hold you in my arms as well. How about that?"


    After saying that, she felt she had unintendedly made a dumb mistake again. Sure enough, Amos''


    expression looked even worse.


    After a while, Eudora couldn''t help but say, "Then..."


    "I can''t leave!"


    Eudora was stunned. Amos motioned for her to look at Juju''s hands, which was grasping Amos'' fingers


    tightly, refusing to let go.


    "If we untangle her fingers forcefully, it would wake her again. It was not easy for her to fall asleep!"


    Eudora was speechless, so she had to say, "Then I''ll go sleep on the couch..."


    "Am I that contagious that you have to avoid me at all costs? Besides, Juju is here. What would I be


    able to do to you?"


    As he said thest sentence, his gaze inadvertentlynded on her thin nightdress. Suddenly, it


    reminded Eudora of the time when they got together. The intimacy that they used to have...


    All of a sudden, every part of her that Amos gazed upon was suddenly set on desire.


    Eudora subconsciously covered herself with the quilt and turned off the bedsidemp in haste. It took


    Amos some rustling before he got on the bed from his wheelchair andy down next to Juju.


    They could almost hear each other''s breathing. In this silent night, it was shallow but inexplicably


    reassuring.


    Eudora thought that she would be too nervous to sleep, but after a while, she dozed off peacefully.


    When he was sure that Eudora was in deep sleep, Amos rxed and turned to look at her.


    The moonlight shone across her face, covering her whole body with a silver sheen. After watching her


    sleep for a while, he gently took his finger out of Juju''s palm.


    Then, he smiled and closed his eyes.


    The next day, when Eudora woke up, the other side of the bed was empty.


    Thinking of everything that had happenedst night, she quickly sat up. She could hear soundsing


    from downstairs. It seemed toe from the garden.


    She hurriedly ran over and looked down from the window, only to see Amos sitting in a wheelchair.


    Next to him, Juju and C were ying Frisbee.


    Juju was throwing the Frisbee for C, who caught it with its mouth and brought it back to Juju,


    running and jumping.


    A warm feeling surged inside her, relieving the tension in Eudora''s heart. She hurriedly changed her


    clothes and went downstairs to help Auntie Valerie prepare breakfast. "I haven''t seen Mr. Granger so


    happy in a long time!" Auntie Valerie said with a smile, "When I arrived this morning, I heard him asking


    the others to find C''s favorite toy. I was wondering what he was going to do with that. It was only


    after that I found that he wanted to y Frisbee with them. I can see that Amos really likes Juju."


    In fact, Eudora knew what Auntie Valerie meant. She was hinting that she didn''t need to be estranged


    from Amos because of Juju''s identity.


    Although Amos could ept Juju, what Auntie Valerie didn''t know was that Amos was indeed Juju''s


    biological father. There wouldn''t be any gaps between them at all.


    Rather, it was Eudora who was standing in the way!


    At the same time, in the dark room.


    Wendy was lying on the bed and hadn''t woken up yet. Next to her, Caleb''s slender hand was gently


    caressing her face.


    He just looked at her, his gaze dark and heavy.


    After a long time, Wendy lifted her head groggily as she attempted to open her eyes. When she saw


    the man in front of her clearly, she immediately sat up in shock.


    "Where am I?"


    As soon as she woke up, Caleb''s gaze quickly returned to his usual demeanor.


    "You''re awake?"


    Wendy was stunned. Thinking of what had happened before, her facial expressions changed in an


    instant. "Is that woman dead? Is she dead?"


    Caleb sneered, "Are you crazy? You kidnapped that woman''s child and forced her to jump off the


    building just for Amos? If I hadn''t arrived in time, you would have been arrested and sent to the police


    Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    station by him!"


    "It''s none of your business!" Wendy gnashed her teeth. "Who asked you to save me? Who asked you


    to save me? I didn''t need to be saved! I thought you gave up on me? Why do you still care whether I


    live or die?"


    Caleb spat back through gritted teeth, "Do you think I care about you? You''re just one of my many


    women, one which I am not done toying with yet. Don''t think that you''re important to me!"


    After that, he turned around and was about to stand up. Wendy suddenly hugged him again from


    behind. "Caleb, I''m sorry, I shouldn''t act like this. I can''t lose you!"


    Caleb narrowed his eyes. His eyes fell on the hands that were hugging him and he finally softened.


    He turned his head and smiled evilly.


    "I''ve got through my connections overseas. I''ll take you back!"


    "I won''t go!" Wendy hurriedly refused. "I don''t want to go back."


    When she thought of going overseas, she was reminded of the dark life she had gone through for so


    many years. She had had enough of it. Therefore, she resisted it in every single way. Caleb frowned.


    "Amos will find out that you were the one who hurt Eudora. Do you not want to live anymore?"


    "Even so, I still won''t leave. Didn''t we make a deal? Didn''t we say that we were going to change our


    identities and go somewhere else when we have money?"


    "Enough!" Caleb gritted his teeth. "How long do you want to lie to me? Do you think I don''t know?


    Wendy, do you think I am a fool? I just didn''t want to expose you. When you truly get back with Amos,


    the next person you will hurt is me, right? I know how vicious and cruel you can be."


    Wendy''s whole body started to tremble. "You''re spouting nonsense."


    "I''m talking nonsense?" Caleb smiled. "I''m only considering the fact that you''ve been with me for more


    than ten years. Otherwise, you would have died a long time ago. I''ll ask you onest time. Do you still


    want to be with Amos? Don''t give me all those bullsh*t reasons anymore!"


    Wendy bit her lip and answered after a long time, "Yes!"


    Hearing this, thest trace of tenderness in Caleb''s eyes dissipatedpletely. He let out a bitter


    <pugh, "Get out of here. The next time you''re in danger again, I won''t save you ever again!"
