When they were about to leave, a doctor caught up with them and handed Eudora a USB flash drive. The doctor said, "Miss Eudora, this was entrusted to us by Mr. Gordon. He told us to hand it over to you when he passed away. I'm sorry for your loss!" Eudora held the USB flash drive tightly in her hand.
She waved at the doctor and said with a smile, "Thank you, doctor."
The doctor frowned and left with a sigh.
After the doctor left, Eudora got into the car with Amos.
"You should sleep for a while first. We'll be home soon!" Amos suggested.
Eudora shook her head, her face full of smiles as if she was extremely happy.
"Amos, Dad can finally do what he likes up there, right?"
Amos hummed in agreement, but then frowned and said, "If you feel sad, you don't have to force a smile!"
Eudora was taken aback for a moment before shaking her head with a smile. She said, "No, I'm not forcing myself to smile. I genuinely feel happy for Dad!"
Amos pursed his lips, then lowered his head and tried to hold her hand.
As soon as he touched her hand, Eudora quickly dodged his grasp.
A drop of blood was apparent on the back of her hand where Amos had touched her. Amos was taken aback and once again pulled Eudora's hand towards him.
"Are you hurt? Let me take a look!"
"No, I'm not hurt." After saying so, she wanted to pull back her hand, but at that moment, Amos grabbed her hand.
When he took a closer look, he discovered that her hands were bleeding.
Amos felt a twinge of pain in his heart and said, "You're crazy! Your hand is bleeding! Isn't it painful?"
Eudora continued to smile and said, "No, it's not!"
Amos looked at her with pity and said, "Honey, let go, let me see!"
"I'm really fine!" Eudora was about to turn around again. This time, Amos was not willing to compromise either and he forcefully moved Eudora's finger away.
"Let me see!"
The next second, he held his breath.
The palm of her hand was full of blood stains that had evidently been pierced by her own nails, but that kind of wound was not so deep and would not bleed.
The real reason she had bled was because of the USB flash drive. She held the USB flash drive too tightly in her hand, and the connector of the flash drive had directly pierced into her flesh.
However, she refused to let go of it!
Amos took the flash drive and said, "I'll keep it for you. I'll take you to the hospital first!"
"Give it back!" All of Eudora's elegance and supposed joy disappeared at that moment. She stared at Amos with bloodshot eyes and said, "Give it back to me!"
Amos also grew furious and said, "Your hand is bleeding, and you'll get infection! I won't give it back to you. If you keep behaving like this, I can't guarantee that I won't throw this USB away!"
Before he finished speaking, Eudora suddenly bit his arm harshly.
She mumbled while biting, "Give it back to me!"
Amos's eyes darkened, and a trace of pain flashed across his eyes. However, he soon returned to
normal again.
"I'm fine. It's not painful. Go ahead and bite me!"
Eudora let go of his arm. However, this time, she raised her own arm and was about to bite it, making Amos finally compromise and say, "All right! I'll give it back to you! However, you can't hurt yourself again!"
Eudora ignored him and held the flash drive in her hand.
