Perhaps the little brat was right. The woman in front of Linda was indeed stunningly beautiful.
Although Eudora was not well-dressed and wasn’t wearing any makeup, her facial features were well-defined. With a delicate nose, refined lips, bright watery eyes, Eudora’s features were further accentuated by her silky smooth skin.
By just standing there, Eudora could easily attract the gazes of a lot of men.
It was just that the lights were dim where Eudora was seated. Hence, no one noticed her.
Linda’s face showed a hint of jealousy, especially when she realized that Amos, who didn’t even spare her a glance just now, was staring at Eudora! “What was that expression on his face? Was he worried about that woman?!” Linda thought in irritation.
Huh…
“She’s just pretending to be pitiful!”
Linda thought for a while and suddenly gritted her teeth.
She said contemptuously, “Why should I apologize to a woman like her? How dare you compare her with me? She doesn’t even deserve to share a table with me!”
After saying that, Linda turned around and left. But yet, how could Juju concede to such provocation? Juju had vowed to protect her Mommy from anyone who would harm her! At that moment, Linda blatantly insulted her Mommy, and Juju had zero tolerance for such behavior.
Juju grabbed hold of Linda’s leg and quickly said, “You owe us an apology. You must apologize for what you just said.”
Eudora went to pull Juju back hurriedly, “Stop it, Juju. Just leave her be.”
“I won’t! Mom, she has just insulted you and I want her to apologize for it,” Juju said with a righteous look.
Their argument soon attracted a lot of attention. Linda flew into a rage out of annoyance. She suddenly stretched out her hand and slapped towards Juju.
Eudora’s heart trembled, and she subconsciously rushed forward to stop Linda from doing so. In the nick of time, a large arm grabbed Eudora around the waist, while another hand grabbed Linda’s wrist.
“How dare you hit my woman and my child? Are you courting death?”
Linda was shocked as she realized that this woman and child were Amos’s wife and daughter.
The security guards at the venue, as well as some company executives, heard the commotion and rushed over. Just in time, they saw Amos gripping a woman’s wrist, and his face was extremely displeased.
The executives knew that Amos didn’t want to give away his identity. Therefore, they merely asked, “Sir, what’s going on?”
Amos scoffed coldly, “Aren’t the security guards paid to maintain the order here? What’s the purpose of hiring them if they can’t do their job well?”
The senior executive who approached Amos was at the highest rank within TEM Inc in Rosaville City. Usually, many peers were very respectful and polite to him.
At this moment, Amos was surprisingly speaking to him in such a tone.
However, this senior executive wasn’t angry at all. On the contrary, his attitude was even more courteous, which made one wonder who Amos was and why he commanded such respect.
While some of the guests recognized that he was Amos Granger of the noble Granger family, the crowd remained silent while staring at them.
Mr. Granger was really inscrutable!
The senior executive said, “Sir, it’s our negligence. We’ll deal with it immediately. Guards, escort this woman out. Find out which department she belongs to and fire her immediately. Make sure she’s never hired again.”
After he finished speaking, the senior executive attended to Amos again.
“Sir, are you satisfied with how this has been handled?”
Amos did not speak, but his expression got uglier.
The senior executive was startled. While he approached Amos, he could nearly discern it with his naked eye. Red rash marks were rapidly appearing on Amos’ body.
He was startled and called out in a panic, “Quick, take this gentleman to the rest lounge.”
Eudora and Juju were also startled. Juju had never seen such a scene before. She wondered what was happening to Amos. However, Eudora remembered that Amos once said that she was the only woman he had touched or made love to…
Back then, she thought that he was just sweet-talking, but at this moment, it seemed that he was speaking the truth!
He simply grabbed the woman’s wrist and immediately got a rash.
All of a sudden, Eudora felt very guilty. It was all because of her that he was suffering from a rash. Eudora frantically ran over and held Amos’s hand, “How are you feeling? Are you alright?”
Amos gave a slight smile, and in the next second, he reached out and covered her eyes.
“Don’t look at me. It’s awful. Call Harley over…”
After that, he passed out.
Eudora didn’t have much time to think about it and frantically dialed Harley’s number.
When Harley heard the situation, he rushed over quickly. As soon as he entered the lounge, he saw Amos lying there. Eudora and Juju were looking at him in a daze and were at a loss for words.
Eudora looked at him with an ashen face when she saw Harley arriving, “Harley, did you bring any medicine? Get it out now.”
Harley was dumbfounded, “Eudora? Aren’t you his antidote? Yes, you are indeed his antidote!”
Eudora froze, “What?”
As expected, she couldn’t remember it. Harley said hurriedly, “You used to treat Amos whenever he got a rash, as you were the antidote. Hurry up and recall on how you used to help him in the past.”
Eudora’s mind went blank, especially when she was trying desperately to recall the matter…
Harley reminded her without any delay, “Some water, towel, ice cubes, quick!”
The senior executives outside heard what Harley had shouted and immediately ordered the staff to bring it to them.
As Eudora looked at the water and the ice, some images of the past came to her mind all of a sudden. Amos was lying there with a rash on his face, and she was sitting beside him, scrubbing his body.
Even though she found it unbelievable, Eudora took the bucket of ice and followed her intuition.
“Harley, please take Juju out. I’ll take care of him.”
Harley nodded and immediately took Juju away.
Juju was a little worried, “Uncle Harley, will my mother be fine alone?”
Harley smiled at her, “As long as your mom is there, even if your dad is close to death, she can definitely bring him back to life.”
Upon hearing this, Juju’s browed furrowed further…
She wondered, “Why was Uncle Harley’s words more worrying?”
Upon the sight of Juju’s expression, Harley coughed awkwardly and said, “Well, I mean your dad will definitely get better!”
…
In the room, Eudora waited until Harley and the others had gone out. Then, she quickly wracked her brain to reassemble the images she had just thought of.
She wrung the towel dry and placed it on Amos. After that, she wrapped some ice in the towel and placed it on him again.
After repeating the process for a long time, Amos still didn’t open his eyes.
Eudora was so anxious that she was close to tears. She felt guilty for being too insensible and too headstrong.
That was the reason why Amos ended in this state. Thinking of this, Eudora’s tears finally couldn’t help but trickle down.
The moment her tears fell, she suddenly recalled that Amos seemed to have want her to tell him jokes all the time…
Eudora tried hard to think of that particular joke again.
She sobbed as she tried to stop crying, but when she saw Amos lying there unconscious, she just couldn’t stop weeping, choking on her sobs while she slowly said the joke.
After she finished uttering the joke, a weak giggle came to her ears all of a sudden.
Amos, who still looked a little pale, glanced at her with a smile on his face and said, “I’ve never heard such a hilarious joke before.”
