My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) novel Chapter 766

Even in such a situation, Amos maintained a calm outlook.

He quickly grabbed Eudora's hand.

"Go quickly," he said.

Next to Amos, a timer was flickering with red light. It was counting down with only about 50 seconds left.

Eudora swiftly reached out to support him, saying, "I'll help you out of this!"

She stretched out her hand to undo the ropes on Amos's body as she spoke.

He grabbed her hand and said, "It's too late. Wesley, get Eudora out of here."

He knew that there was no way for him to leave. Mark was out for revenge. Initially, as he was watching the time run out, he had refused to make a sound. He thought that Eudora would leave if she could not find him.

However, who would have thought?

His wife was as stubborn as ever. He was sure that if he had not made a sound, she might continue searching for him.

Hence, he had deliberately made a sound.

He had wanted to guide her to the room next door, but he had underestimated her.

This woman had become smart this time, and she had returned in less than a minute.

Left with no choice, Amos quickly turned to Wesley.

"Aren't you going to take her away?"

Hearing this, Wesley grabbed Eudora by her arm and said, "Madam, let me bring you out first!"

"I'm not leaving!" She shook her head and continued, "Amos hasn't come out yet. How could I leave?"

As she was saying so, she hurried to try and undo the ropes on Amos's body. However, how could she do so?

The ropes were bound tightly. She even tried using her teeth but to no avail.

Behind her, Wesley suggested in a whisper, "Madam, please go and get the tools."

That's right! She had panicked to the point of confusion. Weren't there tools outside? She turned and ran outside to get them, but Amos had seen the countdown on the timer. There were only ten seconds left.

After giving a thoughtful look at Wesley, Amos lowered his voice.

He said, "Back when this room had been built, it was used to store very important documents, so it has been very well designed to be fireproof, bulletproof, and explosionproof. Quickly get out of here, close the door behind you, and take Eudora away from here..."

Wesley's body shook, "Sir."

Amos continued, "Are you not going to listen to me anymore? I've always known your feelings towards her. I believe that you can take good care of her!"

"I..." Wesley looked at him in shock.

He always thought that he had maintained calm enough. He had not expected Charlie, and even Mr. Granger, to see through him!

However, Amos had never shown it at all.

"No, Sir...Only you can take care of Madam. In fact, Madam only wishes for you to take care of her!"

As he said that, he desperately continued to undo the ropes binding Amos.

Tick, tick, tick...

Amos watched as the seconds went down. Three, two, one...

Suddenly, he yelled, "Eudora!"

BOOM!!!

A huge explosion sounded. Eudora, who had been running back with the toolbox, was blown away by the explosive force.

The tools in her hands clattered to the ground. Hysterically, she cried out, "Amos!!!"

In front of her, everything in the office had been knocked down by the impact of the explosion. Everything was in shambles.

Meanwhile, the door of the secret compartment which Amos was in had been blown wide open. A fire was raging inside. The room had absorbed 90% of the bomb's destructive force.

Even so, the explosion had caused a huge crack in the wall of the building. It was extremely dangerous.

Behind her, Clint had already climbed upstairs and grabbed Eudora upon seeing the scene.

"Madam, what happened?" he asked.

Eudora looked in the direction he was pointing at. Something was twinkling amidst the sparks in the corner.

Eudora reached her hand out to pick the item up. It was a ring, or more specifically, the wedding ring of Eudora and Amos.

Ever since the two of them had gotten officially married, Amos always had the ring on and had never taken it off.

At that moment, the edges of the ring had already been destroyed by the explosives, and only the decorations atop the ring were still shimmering.

Clint said with immense sorrow, "Even the ring was damaged. Mr. Granger, he..."

Eudora's legs went rubbery. "That's impossible! Impossible!"

She held the ring and frantically looked around until someone shouted, "President Granger is here..."

She hurried over and saw Amos lying there, blood all over his body. Harley rushed forward to check his breathing with his eyes bloodshot and his voice choking with sobs.

"Amos..." he called out.

Eudora's fingers trembled as she stepped forward.

She sniffed and squeezed out a smile. "Hubby, I'm back. Open your eyes and look at me!"

Harley felt a lump in his throat, "Eudora, he..."

"Don't talk! He's tired. Don't disturb him!" She rolled her eyes at Harley, "Didn't we find Amos already? Why are you crying?"

She turned back to Amos.

She asked, "Amos, did you get hurt? I'll carry you to the hospital, okay?"

As she said that, she actually went over to carry Amos. However, even though Amos was much thinner now, he was still a tall man. After trying several times, Eudora barely picked him up and she staggered forward.

Harley caught up to her again, "Eudora..."

"Hush!" Eudora shook her head, "Amos loves to listen to me sing! I'll sing for him."

"In this lukewarm autumn, I stay by your side, as we silently watch the sparks dance by..."

Halfway through the song, her voice gradually choked. Her body went limp, and she collapsed straight to the ground.
