"Don't say a word. I'll tell her myself!" Amos said.
Of course, Charlie understood that the matter was supposed to be a conversation between Amos and Eudora and he was adamant about not being involved.
"Okay! I know nothing. I'm off to work then."
Eudora was standing outside the bathroom. She was thinking about whether she should take a bath.
She heard Amos opening the door and entering the bedroom, thus she quickly walked into the bathroom.
The next second, Amos grabbed her, pulling her back.
He asked, "What are you doing? You're injured. What if you slip?"
"I'm fine!" Eudora gave the same reply. The next second, Amos slapped her butt mercilessly.
"Why are you being so disobedient?"
Eudora frowned as his slap had been quite hard.
"Why are you hitting me?!"
"If I didn't hit you, you would be even more disobedient! Who told you not to protect yourself?"
"I was just going to take a bath! Are you telling me to not take a bath then?" Eudora was nagging him on purpose. After all, she knew Amos would not be able to tolerate her acting like that.
Amos became flustered in the next split second.
"Stop messing around. I didn't do it on purpose!"
Eudora snorted, "I'm angry! Don't you know how to comfort me?"
Amos was dumbfounded.
"I'll help you bathe!"
Eudora was taken aback and immediately turned her head away, "I didn't ask for your help! I have my own hands and feet!"
As she spoke, she tried to go into the bathroom again.
This time, Amos pulled her back again, saying, "Stop making a fuss, okay? If you have something to say, we can sit down and talk about it properly!"
Eudora felt a chill in her chest and cast a wary glance at Amos.
"You..." "I already know about everything! You went to Doctor Leon's clinic today. Just now, you did all that just to convince me, right?"
Eudora was flustered.
She wanted to put on a show to convince him. How did he find out so quickly?
If so, how could she keep acting on?
Eudora was at a loss and had no idea what to do.
Then, Amos spoke again, 'TH accept the treatment!"
This time, Eudora was even more shocked!
Initially, she had thought that it would be a challenge for her to accomplish her mission to convince Amos. Unexpectedly, it had gone smoothly. For a moment, Eudora was too taken aback to even do anything.
"Wh-Why did you change your mind?"
Amos glanced at her swollen ankle and said, "I'm worried that if I don't agree to receive treatment, there will be a cripple in the family!"
Eudora was rendered speechless, unable to find the words to express herself.
When she turned around and saw Amos smiling, Eudora realized that he was teasing her.
She asked indignantly, "Are you mocking me?"
Amos quickly shook his head with a smile, "I'm not!"
"You're laughing at me now! Look at how happy you are, laughing at me like this!"
"I really am not! Who's laughing at you?"
"You still want to deny it? Look, you're laughing again!" Eudora was flying into a rage from shame. She wanted to step on his foot but was held down by Amos.
He consoled, "Alright, alright. I did laugh. I admit my mistake. Stop moving around. I don't want you to get injured again."
Once he finished talking, he held Eudora up.
Eudora hurriedly said, "What are you doing? I haven't taken a bath yet!"
