One Night Stand With That Beggar

When he finally let go of Eudora, he said to her.

“Do you still want to eat?”

Eudora George shook her head, but Amos completely ignored her. He took another sip of the soup, and fed it into her mouth, like how he did just now.

After a couple more times, Eudora finally relented.

“I’ll feed myself.”

“Good girl!” Amos Granger reached out to ruffle her hair and then scooped up some of the other dishes onto her plate.

After she was done eating, Amos placed the spoon down, and used a tissue to wipe her mouth.

“Go to sleep now. I’ll be right here with you.”

Eudora frowned and said, “You don’t have to accompany me.”

Amos didn’t respond to her words. Instead, he covered her with the quilt and said, “I know what I’m doing.”

……

At the same time, Wendy Liam was eating in her ward. Auntie Agnes came in from outside and said cheerfully, “Miss, could you guess who I saw when I went out this afternoon?”

“Who?” Wendy asked.

“A man, but I don’t know who he is. He was coming out of Miss George’s ward. Not only that, I also saw that Sir was very angry and he stormed off after that.”

“Really?” Wendy smiled. “That’s good. Eudora has already broken up with Amos, so it’s normal for her to be in a new relationship.”

“That’s true. Sir should know by now that you are the most loyal person by his side.”

Wendy nodded. Her mood became better.

She finished the food quickly and asked, “Where is Amos?”

“Oh, I don’t know. I have not seen him since I left in the afternoon. Maybe he’s busy with his work?”

Wendy nodded and said, “Pass me the phone.”

Auntie Agnes laughed. “Miss, Sir would be so touched if you were to call him now.”

Wendy smiled and dialed the number.

The call rang twice before it was cut off. Wendy frowned. There shouldn’t be any meetings at this hour. Was it still inconvenient for him to answer the phone?

After pondering for a moment, she dialed the number again. However, this time, the call was immediately cut off.

When Auntie Agnes saw that her expression didn’t look good, she hurriedly asked, “Miss, what’s wrong?”

“Oh, it’s nothing!” Wendy smiled and said, “I think Amos must still be busy with his work. Forget about it then.”

……

Just as Eudora was about to doze off, she was woken up by sound of the ringtone. Amos picked the phone up and glanced at it. He saw that it was Wendy who was calling. He knitted his brows, and then declined the call.

Seeing that it was already past nine o’clock in the evening, he simply turned off his phone.

Then he took off his coat and got on the single bed which Eudora was sleeping on.

Eudora’s whole body froze. “What are you doing?”

“I’m putting you to sleep!”

Eudora stammered, “… I don’t need that.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Whether you need it or not, I have the final say.” After Amos finished speaking, he lay down and held her waist.

Previously, when she was warded at the hospital, they slept like this as well.

Eudora didn’t know if she was already getting used to it, but she felt an inexplicable sense of security when Amos held her. Her eyelids began to feel so heavy that it was hard to make them stay open.

She yawned a few times and fell into a deep slumber.

……

Wendy didn’t sleep well all night because she had been bothered by an uneasy feeling in her heart. She was already awake since early in the morning.

She tried calling Amos again, but his cell phone had not been turned on yet.

She suddenly recalled her conversation with Amos yesterday morning. Could it be that Amos was angry at her?

Auntie Agnes came into the room and tried to persuade her to eat, but she shook her head and said, “I don’t want to eat anymore. Can you please tell me which room is Eudora staying in?”

Auntie Agnes froze. “Why do you want to know which room is she staying in?”

“Obviously it’s because I want to see her! She was the one who saved Amos anyway, so I had to go over to thank her!”

Wendy was speaking as if she was Amos’ wife. Auntie Agnes immediately nodded and said, “It’s not far from here, it’s just two rooms away. Do you want me to go with you?”

“There’s no need!” Wendy walked out and slowly walked over to Eudora’s room.

Since it was still very early in the morning, there were very few people in the corridor. It did not take Wendy too long to reach the door of the ward that Auntie Agnes had mentioned.

She directly pushed the door open.

The morning sunlight was shining through the window and on the single bed that was directly opposite of the door. Wendy glanced over and saw that there were two people lying on the bed.

The man was hugging the woman from behind, and neither of them had woken up yet.

And that man was none other than Amos!

No wonder he didn’t answer his phone when she called him last night. It turned out that he was here.

So, did she lose again?

Wendy gritted her teeth. Her body swayed and she subconsciously took a step back. It was then her body inadvertently knocked on the door behind her with a loud bang.

The man on the bed was the first to open his eyes, and his sharp gaze turned to look at her direction.

When he looked clearly and saw that it was Wendy, he got up and frowned, “Why are you here?”

Wendy took a deep breath to swallow the jealousy that was overwhelming her heart and said, “I… I woke up this morning and felt like I was feeling much better, so I wanted to come over to see Miss George. After all, it’s all thanks to her that…”

Amos got out of the bed and stretched his hand out to cover Eudora with the quilt.

His actions were very gentle, as if the one lying on the bed was his precious treasure.

While adjusting the quilt, he said, “It’s alright. She hasn’t woken up yet. Why don’t you go back and rest more.”

Wendy opened her mouth. She wanted to express her intentions on waiting here for a little while longer. However, she couldn’t keep it in anymore, and she was afraid that she might accidentally reveal any flaws. Wendy immediately nodded.

“Okay, I’ll go back then!”

After taking two steps, she looked back at Amos’ eyes.

“Don’t overwork yourself!”

Seeing that Amos didn’t say anything, Wendy turned around and left.

When the door was closed, Amos looked at the woman who was sleeping on the bed with a smile on his face. “Open your eyes if you are awake! Aunt Valerie will come by to deliver some food any time now.”

It was only then did Eudora open her eyes. “I thought that you were going to leave with that beautiful woman.”

“Are you jealous?” He was in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth curved upward.

“I’m not!” Eudora said, and she turned her head away.

Amos was not angry. He brought her toothbrush over so that she could freshen up. Eudora felt really uncomfortable being stared at like this, but the man just wouldn’t leave. She had no choice but to continue brushing her teeth.

As she had just finished rinsing her mouth, her face was covered with a hot towel.

“Um…” Eudora did not know how to react at that instant, and could only shout vaguely, “I’ll do it myself.”

The next second, the man had already lowered his head and kissed her on the lips with the towel still covering her face.

“This is a morning kiss.”

Eudora was speechless.

After washing her face, Aunt Valerie arrived and brought lots of good food with her. Eudora had learned to behave well this time. As soon as Amos picked up the spoon, she immediately started to eat.

She didn’t want him to feed her like he did yesterday in front of Aunt Valerie!

Aunt Valerie was happy to see the chemistry between them. She didn’t want to disturb them, so she minded her own business, and took up a rag and started cleaning.

By the time she had finished cleaning up, Amos was also done feeding Eudora.

After that, Amos left for the company. Before leaving, he told Aunt Valerie, “Stay here with her, don’t allow any unauthorised person to disturb her.”

Aunt Valerie nodded repeatedly. She returned to Eudora’s ward after watching Amos leave.

“Miss, the unauthorised person that Sir was referring to is Miss Liam, isn’t it?”

Eudora wasn’t interested in the topic so she just lightly nodded and said, “Probably!”

“It must be Miss Liam. I think that Sir probably had already found out that Miss Liam is not a good person, right?”
