One Night Stand With That Beggar

The darkness around her suddenly vanished, and she could finally take a clear look of the room. It was damp and dull, with only a dim light swaying above her head.

She could see a child being violently beaten up with a whip. She tried to rush forward, but her body felt like it was being restrained by a force. She couldn’t move at all.

At the same time, she could also feel the heart wrenching pain as every whip was lashed on the child’s body.

“Run!” She shouted desperately.

The child, whose head was lowered as she was being beaten up, suddenly raised her head, and looked directly into her eyes.

Eudora George’s whole body trembled. She could recognise who the child was. It was her younger self.

When their eyes met, Eudora suddenly felt an invisible force pulling her away. In the next second, she was already hovering in the air.

She could hear a deep voice calling her name.

“Eudora.”

As she gradually opened her eyes and saw the white ceiling fan that was above her. The air around her was permeated with a faint smell of disinfectant.

As she slowly regained her consciousness, the pain in her body became even stronger.

She subconsciously looked down at herself and found herself wearing a hospital gown.

“Don’t move!” Amos Granger reached out and stopped her from getting up. “You’ve got multiple bone fractures in your body, so you shouldn’t move now.”

It was only then Eudora recalled about the fall. At the same time, she also realised that it was Amos who had been talking to her this whole time.

As the bloody images were rushing into her mind once again, Eudora opened her mouth instinctively.

“Are you okay?”

Amos shook his head. “I’m fine.”

When Eudora could finally let out a breath of relief, the door to her ward was pushed open. Auntie Agnes, who had just appeared, said, “Sir, Miss has woken up, and she is quite moody. Please come and have a look at her.”

The breath that Eudora had just let out was lodged in her throat again. She was stunned. How could she have forgotten about Wendy Liam?

Amos furrowed his brows and said, “Call the doctor!”

“Sir, the doctor has left and you are the only one who can help Miss Liam!”

Upon hearing that, Eudora pursed her lips and lowered her head.

Amos had no choice but to go over to see Wendy. But before he left, he turned around and said to Eudora, “I’ll be back soon.”

However, Eudora shook her head. “No, you don’t have to come back here anymore. When we were at the abandoned factory, I’ve already told you that we don’t owe each other anymore!”

She lifted the blanket and covered her head with it.

Then, she could hear Amos leaving. She slowly uncovered herself after Amos’ footsteps could no longer be heard.

Because of the fractures, she did not dare move and continued to lie down on the bed. After lying on the bed for quite a period of time, she began to feel a little hungry, but she didn’t feel like calling the nurse.

After a long while, she could hear the sound of footsteps coming from outside. In the next moment, a bouquet of bright red roses was placed before her.

“Since life has given you another chance, you should cherish it dearly. May your life from now on be as vibrant as these red roses.”

Eudora, who was startled by the sudden movement, caught a glance of the person who was holding the bouquet of flowers.

“Christopher!”

“Who did you think it was then?” Christopher Gellert said. He found a vase and arranged the flowers. He then walked back to the side of her bed, and scrutinized her.

“You have asked us not to spectate the match but you ended up injuring yourself so seriously. What should I say?”

This was only then Eudora recalled about the competition. As she thought about it, she couldn’t help but feel sad.

“Who won?”

“Either way, it wasn’t you!” Christopher was trying to be sarcastic to her.

Eudora’s disappointment predictably intensified, and it was clearly reflected on her face. When he saw the disappointed look on her face, Christopher immediately said, “No, although you didn’t win the competition, your work was very well received and it had also received a substantial amount of votes.”

“Really?” Upon hearing that, her lips curled into a smile.

“Of course! This is the video that I have recorded on that day. I knew that you would want to watch it.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

As Christopher spoke, he handed her the video that he had recorded. Eudora took it excitedly and watched it with relish. She was particularly excited when she saw that the judges were immensely impressed by her work.

Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound came from her stomach.

Christopher immediately laughed at her and asked, “I guess you’re hungry now?”

“Don’t worry about it. The nurse will bring the meal later.”

Christopher shook his head and stood up, “I’d better go and buy some food for you. How could I let you eat the food that was provided here? Hospital food is just bland and generally, not good.”

As he spoke, he was about to get up to get her food.

Eudora said in a hurry, “That would be too troublesome!

“Why are you being so polite? We are friends, aren’t we?” Christopher rolled his eyes at her and left the room.

Eudora had no choice but to look away and continue watching the video. Although she felt regretful, she was still satisfied that her work had impressed so many people.

Christopher was very efficient, it did not take him too long to return with the food that he had bought for Eudora.

He was carrying several boxes in his hand. There was a lot of food, including Caesar salad, some roasted potatoes, and soup.

He placed all the things on her bedside table and opened the packaging of the food one after another. “Take a sip of the soup first. You’ve got a fracture, so you need to take in more calcium. This is bone broth, it has a lot of calcium in it, so it’s supposed to help with your recovery.”

Eudora put down the mobile phone, but she couldn’t move.

She furrowed her brows and said, “Forget about it, I’ll eat when the nurse comes.”

But at the same time, Christopher had already picked up a spoon. He scooped up a spoonful of the soup, and brought it near to her mouth.

“Open your mouth!”

Eudora was speechless.

Although she had also agreed that Christopher was her friend, his actions were a little too intimate, weren’t it?

“Hurry up and eat!” Christopher urged. “Since we’re friends, do we really need to be so polite?”

Before Eudora could react, he immediately spooned the soup into her mouth.

Eudora had no choice but to gulp it down. “Thank you!”

“Thank me for what? You just have to remember what I have done for you today. If I happened to be like this in the future, then you must treat me like how I have treated you today!”

“Deal!” Eudora said with a smile.

……

At the same time in the next room, Wendy had been holding on to Amos’ sleeves, refusing to let him go.

“Amos, it was all my fault. If it weren’t because that I’ve fainted, Miss George wouldn’t have gotten injured so seriously while trying to save you. And you, your wound looks serious too, does it hurt?”

Amos shook his head and said, “It’s fine now. You just need to take care of yourself.”

However, Wendy refused to listen to him, and got out of the bed again. “Is Miss George awake? I’ll go and see her and I’ll apologize to her!”

“There is no need for that!” Amos said in a deep voice. “She doesn’t want to see anyone now.”

Upon hearing that, Wendy halted her steps and said, “I’ll visit her another day then.” After that, she looked at Auntie Agnes and said, “Bring me the clothes that I had asked you to prepare.”

While Auntie Agnes was busy fetching the clothes that she had prepared, Wendy explained, “These past few days in the hospital must have been really hard on you. Since Miss George has already woken up, so you can’t be wearing like this in front of her, can you? It would be better for you to change your clothes.”

It was only then did Amos realize that he was still wearing the clothes that he had on a few days ago. It did look unpresentable.

However, instead of taking the clothes that Wendy had prepared for him, Amos stood up and spoke.

“I’ll change them when I go back. You should get some rest!”

After that, he walked out of the room. He immediately called Clint Zuckerberg and asked him to prepare some clothes for him. After instructing Clint, Amos then walked back to Eudora’s ward.

When he arrived at the door, he stumbled upon Christopher feeding Eudora.
