Chapter 385
Both Juju and Auntie Valerie were nowhere in sight when they got home. Amos dragged Eudora into
their room straight away and began to unbutton her pants.
Eudora was bereft of speech, breathing heavily as she let him go on with his administrations.
She grabbed hold of his hands and teased, "You don''t have to be in such a hurry, do you?"
Amos frowned, ignoring her. Eventually, he managed to strip off her pants.
Eudora''s heart was thundering in her chest. She was really torn. She thought about what Wesley had
said the other day and figured that both she and Amos deserved a chance to try things out.
Her heart raced faster, her cheeks flushing at the thought of what was about to happen.
She closed her eyes, hoping that it will calm herself down.

However, she realized that Amos had paused. Sensing no further movement from him, she blinked her
eyes open and saw that he was staring worriedly at the wound on her leg.
Eudora was taken aback and she asked, "Are you going to stare at it all day long?"
"Well, what else am I supposed to do? You told me that you were fine, but it doesn''t look fine at all!
Your leg might even be fractured!" Amos fussed, furrowing his brows, feeling rather annoyed.
Eudora shook her head and reassured, "I''m fine..."
Amos pinched her legs in spite.
"Ouch! That hurts..." She yelped, getting caught off guard by it.
Everyone outside acted as though they did not hear any noisesing from the room and trying to
make themselves seem invisible. They knew that President Granger hadn''t seen Miss George for quite
some time, but it sounded like he was being a bit too aggressive in there...
In the room, Eudora covered the wound on her leg as her eyes brimmed with tears.
"Why are you so mean? That hurts!"
"Oh, does it finally hurt now?! Why didn''t you tell me that it hurts just now?"
However, he turned away and brought over a first aid kit despite his harsh tone.
Eudora held onto the hem of her shirt, feeling slightly berated, "I was trying to save Wesley''s life, you
know. He was in danger..."
"I was right next to Wesley. Did you think that I wouldn''t be able to save him?"
Eudora felt helpless. She knew that she was unable to defend herself against Amos on this. All she
could do now was to apologize, "Fine, I''ll admit that I was wrong. Are you happy now?"
"Where do you think that you''ve done wrong?" Amos asked. Eudora looked at him, dumbfounded.
She had no idea what the answer to that question was.
"I... I shouldn''t have stolen your spotlight and saved Wesley before you could. It should''ve been you,
not me. He would''ve been happier if you were the one who did it, maybe," Eudora responded
sarcastically.
Amos rubbed at his temples. He really couldn''t handle this woman.
Eudora had be brighter and much more bubbly after losing her memory. However, there were
times when she would act too recklessly, and she seemed rather thick in the head.
She didn''t understand where his concern wasing from anymore.
In anger, Amos unwittingly gave her injured leg a tight p and exined, "I wasn''t trying to stop you
from saving Wesley''s life, okay? I was just worried about your safety! You need to learn to protect
yourself before you try to help others!"
Eudora nodded.
When Amos was done applying the ointment on her wound, he still felt a little anxious and began to
speak,
"I still think that you should pay a visit to the doctor and get an X-ray scan to check whether if you''ve
got any fractures."
"That''s so unnecessary! Look, I''m well aware of my own injuries. I''m really fine! If you don''t trust me, I''ll
show you..."
She started to get up so she could hop around to prove herself. However, before her feet could even
touch the ground, Amos held her back.
"I''ve just bandaged it, stop moving!"
Eudora had no choice but to sit back down. After a while, she turned her head carefully towards him
and merely stared at him.
"Urn... I..."
"No!" Amos refused without hesitation. He wasn''t going to let this woman walk about with a wound like
that!
Eudora was lost for words.
"What? Couldn''t I even ask for a ss of water now?"
Amos knocked on her head lightly with his knuckles and teased, "Silly girl, what do you think?"
Once they heard about the incident, Auntie Valerie and Juju rushed home as fast as they could. When
they got in, they saw Eudora sitting on the sofa, demanding all sorts of things. "I want some fruits!"
"Get me some water!"
"Hey, I want some..."
Beside her was a very busy Amos. He was walking back and forth, attending to all her needs without
anyints.
Auntie Valerie''s smile widened at the sight. She couldn''t contain her happiness.
There was finally some warmth restored in this household.
Since Eudora had injured herself, she was forced to rest at home by Amos for a couple more days.
Eventually, not only Amos, but both Juju and Auntie Valerie were constantly at her beck and call at
home.
She had totally be a sluggard that did nothing in most of her days.
After staying at home for three days, Eudora was feeling very cooped up. Therefore, once Amos finally
left, she took the opportunity to go on a shopping spree with Thea and Tina.
Ever since Tina had gotten back from Greene City, she still felt the need to disguise herself whenever
she was out in the public. She''d wear a mask and a hat to cover herself up so that she wouldn''t be
recognized.
When she saw Eudora, she sprinted towards her stealthily.
"Why are we meeting in such an open space? Let''s find a private room somewhere to rx in."
Eudora hummed in agreement.
After they found a suitable spot, they sat together alone for a long while before Thea finally arrived. It
was nice that they were now drinking tea together instead of chugging alcohol.
Eudoraplied easily.
After sipping on their tea and some conversation, the three went to the mall to shop for clothes. Eudora
had just bought a few not too long ago, so she didn''t buy much.
She followed Thea and Tina while they shopped like crazy. One kept looking at men''s attires while the
other kept looking at children''s clothing.
Eudora turned her gaze towards Thea when she noticed thetter. Feeling rather puzzled, she asked,
"You know, it makes sense for Tina to be buying men''s clothing. After all, she''s head over heels for her
boyfriend at the moment. But why are you buying all these baby clothes? Are you pregnant, Thea?"
Eudora did not mean any harm. However, she didn''t expect to see her friend''s face darkening so fast at
her implication.
"No, I''m not. Stop speaking nonsense. I''m just buying a gift for my sister- in-w. She''s the one who''s
pregnant!" Thea answered hurriedly.
"Oh," Eudora said. Tina, who was next to her asked, "Since when have you made your peace with
her?"
Thea responded vaguely, "Well, we''ve already been on good terms with each other for some time
now..."
Meanwhile, in the coffee shop located below the mall...
Harley and Amos were drinking tea. After taking a few sips, Harley began toin,
"Why don''t we go to a bar? A coffee shop? Really?"
"It helps to re- energize your mind," Amos replied impassively with a nk face,
"Nonsense! Why would I need that? I''m not on assignment right now."
Amos hesitated briefly and eventually admitted, "My wife is injured, so I just don''t feel like drinking." He
looked at Harley begrudgingly, as though he was ming Harley''s annoying pester.
Harley was taken aback by the news.
He couldn''t believe Amos was showing off his affection to his wife, and it was rmingly disgusting.
Harley decided not to speak with this crazy man any further. He raised a hand and called for a waiter
and ordered,
"I''d like to have twenty cups of coffee, please! Let''s see if I could get drunk off caffeine!"
The waiter stared at him, baffled. Amos waved his hand in disregard and told the waiter, "Just ignore
him."
When the waiter left, Amos then turned to Harley and inquired, "Didn''t I ask you to keep an eye on the
situation here when I''m away? How''s it going?"
Harley threw himself onto the sofa, and replied monotonously, "I don''t know."
Amos looked at him for a while in silence.
He could tell that Harley wasn''t in the mood to answer any of his questions today, "What is it? Come
on, tell me what''s up. Have you not resolved your problems with Thea yet?"
Suddenly, the man sprang onto his feet and yelled, "Don''t even mention that woman! I''ll start a fight
with anyone else that dares to even breathe her name in my presence!"
