One Night Stand With That Beggar

Outside Wendy Liam’s ward.

Clint Zuckerberg, who was standing behind Amos Granger, reported his findings in a soft tone.

“The culprit did it flawlessly. I haven’t found any clues yet.”

Amos agreed and did not push it, “Take your time.”

While they were talking, Auntie Agnes’ voice came from the ward. “Miss, you finally woke up! President Granger, Miss is awake!”

Clint couldn’t help but frown. “Miss Liam is really good at making trouble. I almost thought that she was the one who caused the accident!”

Upon hearing this, Amos was stunned.

Clint also realized that he misspoke. He quickly added, “Sorry, President Granger. I shouldn’t have said that!”

After thinking for a few seconds, Amos answered him, “Go back to the company and postpone my upcoming schedule.”

“Okay!” Clint took the order and turned to leave.

Amos stood there for a long time. He then turned around and walked into the ward.

“Are you awake?”

“Why did you save me?” Wendy kept repeating these words.

Auntie Agnes, who was next to her, sighed in distress. “Miss, why are you so stubborn? Even if Miss George said a few words to you, you should just let her be. Why are you trying to kill yourself?”

Wendy did not speak and looked at Amos again.

“Don’t listen to Auntie Agnes’ nonsense. Eudora didn’t say anything.”

Amos became more solemn, and Clint’s words echoed in his mind. His eyes darkened and he said in a deep voice.

“What do you want?”

Wendy was stunned. She didn’t know why Amos had suddenly asked her this question. Did he find out about something? But… that was impossible.

If Amos really did find out, he would not be standing here and talking to her calmly.

She might not be sure about a lot of things, but she was sure of Caleb’s ability.

Thinking of this, Wendy let out a sigh of relief. Didn’t she go through all those nonsense just so that this day would finally come?

Now, Amos had finally asked her what she wanted.

Why should she still hold back then?

Thinking of this, she grabbed Amos’ sleeve and stammered, “Will you agree to anything I want?”

“Of course, I’ll repay you for saving my life.” Amos said calmly.

“Then… what if I want to marry you?” Wendy said boldly.

Upon hearing this, Amos’ eyes darkened at once.

Since she had said those words aloud, Wendy did not plan to hide her feelings anymore. She continued to ramble on now that she had revealed her deepest desire.

“I know, it might be a little delusional for me to say this. I have now lost the ability to be a mother, and I am not a noble lady who comes from a rich family. I only have you in this world, Amos. If you are not willing to marry me, I’d rather just die!”

Amos still didn’t say anything. Wendy felt guilty and added another sentence.

“If you want to be with Miss George, I won’t object to it. I only need a title, so that I could feel more secure. I don’t want anything else…”

Amos suddenly smirked. “Really? Do you only want a title? But I’ve told you this before –  I’ll take care of you for the rest of my life.”

Wendy was stunned. Why did she feel that his expression and tone was full of sarcasm?

Her face turned pale. She opened her mouth and started to gasp for air. The symptoms were exactly the same as when she had just come back from the United States.

Auntie Agnes ran out to call the doctor, but Amos turned around and said, “I’ll think about it.”

After that, he walked out of the ward without looking back.

It was only after Amos was far away that Wendy slowly calmed down. She closed her eyes again.

…

When Eudora arrived at Wendy’s ward, she happened to see Amos leaving. She hurriedly avoided him and entered the ward after watching him go far away.

Wendy was still asleep, and there was no one else in the ward. Eudora went over and took a look at her. Seeing her trembling eyelashes, she suddenly smiled.

“Miss Liam, your ability to pretend to be asleep leaves a lot to be desired.”

Wendy slowly opened her eyes and smiled as if she had just seen Eudora. “You’re here, Miss George. Sit!”

Eudora frowned. Wendy was acting a little strange.

“There’s no need. I’m just here to see how you’re doing. It’s not easy for you to come back from the United States and set up your own company. Miss Liam, don’t you think you are too rash? Why do you have to do that?”

Wendy sighed. “You’re right. I will learn to cherish my body in the future!”

Eudora looked at her. Did she hurt her head after jumping off the building? Why was she talking in a strange way?

Eudora seemed to have lost her interest so she walked out of the ward. Just as she was about to leave, Wendy shouted again.

“Miss George, take care of yourself. Otherwise, we won’t be able to watch the show!”

Eudora paused slightly and left without looking back.

After returning to the ward, Harley’s nurse came to check on him. She said that his body was much better and he could be discharged from the hospital.

While Harley pouted, obviously still reluctant to be discharged. “I can’t eat the food made by my dear Eudora anymore.”

Eudora was speechless. “I’m not dead, you know. If you want to eat, you could always visit us.”

Harley made a fuss and cried out exaggeratedly. “Don’t let Amos hear this, otherwise he might beat me to death.”

With a helpless look, Eudora said to him, “I finally know why Amos always wants to beat you.”

When Eudora came out of the bathroom, she suddenly felt like puking. She rushed back into the bathroom and retched a few times.

Fortunately, at this time, there was no one in the bathroom. She tidied herself up and came out.

She saw Christopher standing in the corridor, looking at her worriedly.

Eudora’s heart sank and she said in a hurry, “I think my breakfast from this morning has gone bad. My stomach is a little upset.”

After all, Christopher was a man, so he did not think too much. “It was my fault last time. I shouldn’t have said those harsh words to you. You are an independent person, and you have your own thoughts. You have the freedom to choose your path. I have no right to interfere with it. However, you should not ignore your body, okay? You have lost a lot of weight recently!”

Eudora was stunned. Did she lose a lot of weight?

While she was caught in her own thoughts, Christopher came over and grabbed her arm.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you to the hospital to have a look.”

“No, no need!” Eudora hurriedly stopped him. She didn’t want anyone to know about her pregnancy.

“What? Are you acting so unfamiliar because we haven’t been in contact for a while? Anyway, I am still your boss, the leader of the design department of the company. If you are sick, it will affect the development of the company.”

He had said it in a very diplomatic and righteous way, but Eudora really couldn’t go.

“I’m really fine. I’m just having an upset tummy. I’ll be more careful next time.”

Christopher couldn’t do anything to her, so he could only cough and say, “I’ll ask the assistant to bring you some medicine later.”

Eudora was not supposed to take those medicines, but in order to make him feel at ease, she nodded.

When she returned to the office, she saw a box of pills on her desk. She picked it up and looked at it for a while. Then, she smiled and threw the medicine into her drawer.
