Luckily, Eudora had long understood this trick of his.
She pretended not to see it and went straight to get the gauze and bandages. "Let me help you with the bandages."
Amos just stood there, unmoving. Eudora quivered her lips and said, "C'mon..."
The next second, Amos obeyed and immediately went to her.
The nurse next to him was completely taken aback.
It was something she had never seen before!
Although she had heard that President Granger doted on his wife a lot, she had never seen him acting so much like a child.
He was even whinier than her little brother at home. The strange thing was, it was rather adorable.
Amos's blood- stained bandages were slowly opened, revealing the split open wounds inside.
It took a lot of bandages to finally stop the bleeding.
Eudora tried to hold back her tears as she bandaged Amos' wound, but in the end, they still rolled down her face.
"You knew clearly that you're injured. Couldn't you be more careful? What if something happens?"
Amos pursed his thin lips, "I have you by my side!" He had purposely said it that way because he wanted to let Eudora know that he needed her. Therefore, she must never leave his side.
After thinking about it, he said again,
"Eudora is the only thing in the world that makes Amos Amos... Because I need her to live, she's everything I need."
Eudora's heart ached, "I'm not food neither am I air. What do you need me for? In fact, I'm not the only person who could make you happy. Weren't you with Wendy before? Certainly, you could find someone like me who could be your... Uh..."
Before she could finish her words, Amos had lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
His kiss had come too fast, Eudora didn't even have time to react before he had consumed her entirely.
It was different from what lingering passion or desire they had in the past. This time, his kiss was overbearing. Bit by bit, it broke into the walls she'd built up in her heart. In the end, both of them were out of breath.
Only then did he let go of her. "Only you! Eudora, you're the only one for me."
Amos refused to stay in the hospital after a week there.
He wanted to be discharged from the hospital.
Eudora saw through his act and remembered how she too was once under Amos' scrutiny before when she was discharged from the hospital. As a result, she purposely did the same.
"No! You're not allowed to go anywhere before you recover!"
Amos was stunned for a moment and realized that he had been played by this woman.
He reached out and slapped her on the butt. "Are you mimicking me?"
Eudora looked at him smugly, "The tables have turned."
Eudora was no doubt the most beautiful woman in Rosaville City. He thought that she was very beautiful when he first laid his eyes on her. Even though she had gained a little weight after getting pregnant, not only did she not become ugly, but she also had a mesmerizing aura radiating around her every now and then.
Especially right now, when her pretty eyes were wandering about.
Even with the big belly, she was behaving like a young girl.
It didn't seem like she had to hide from him and cough out blood in the bathroom every morning.
Amos' heart ached. He reached out to pet her on the head and asked, "Are you in a good mood?"
"Why not? I bullied Mr. Granger. I'm so happy!"
"From now on, you may bully me however you like! As long as you're by my side," Amos said in a low voice.
Eudora didn't seem to notice the implication behind his words, so she nodded her head casually. "Sure!"
"Deal! If you break your promise, I'll drag you back even if it means that I have to go to hell."
"You, you are my baby, forever."
Eudora's heart ached. She subconsciously turned back to look at Amos. Unexpectedly, Amos was also looking at her.
Their eyes met and they immediately turned their heads away awkwardly. Perhaps, they were thinking of the same thing.
There was another couple passing by and the girl was flirting with the boy.
"I'm angry! If you don't comfort me, I will break up with you."
The boy immediately came up to her to comfort her. "Baby, don't be angry. I was wrong!"
Eudora was at a loss for words.
It seemed that couples called each other 'Baby' now! Was she falling behind the trend?
"Do you want to do that too?"
Amos whispered, and Eudora was stunned. The next second, she felt that him getting close to her ear, his soothing low voice echoing.
"Baby."
Eudora almost burst into laughter. It was so strange yet so sweet.
Amos kept calling Eudora his baby for the rest of the afternoon. Finally, the two of them went back to the ward after a long walk outside.
As soon as they arrived at the elevator, they saw the nurse in charge of the VIP ward on weekdays. Seeing that Eudora was wearing thin clothes with a big belly, the nurse said,
"Miss George, you should pay more attention to the baby. We wouldn't want it to catch a cold!"
Eudora was about to nod when she saw Amos quickly taking off his coat and wrapped it around her tightly.
The nurse behind him quivered and said, "Mr. Granger, I'm talking about the baby in Miss George's belly..."
She was gobsmacked by Amos' actions.
