One Night Stand With That Beggar

“Call the doctor here right now!”

Harley rushed to support Amos, who was shaking his head. “Go and get your blood drawn. Don’t worry about me.”

“You’re hurt. Do you think I’m going to leave you like this?” Harley retorted. However, Amos was right. Eudora was in danger too.

Fortunately, Clint arrived just in time and Harley quickly passed Amos to him before going into the operating room with the nurse.

….

Eudora had a dream. It was still the same dark basement, but this time, everything seemed clearer.

It was not as hazy as it used to be. In fact, she could see each item and each face in the basement clearly.

The little faces which were filled with fear and stained with tears, as well as the terrible woman with a mask. And, Fae…

Even Wendy .

Eudora looked at them one by one and walked down the stairs into the abyss.

Suddenly, a spotlight appeared in front of her. A bloodied teenage boy was tied to the spot and the masked woman was slowly slashing his button with a knife.

The teenage boy struggled desperately but the sharp knife cut through his flesh and blood started trickling down…

Eudora’s heart sank. She shouted hurriedly, “Stop.”

The masked woman vanished in an instant. It was replaced by the teenage boy’s disgusted face. “Get out of my way. I don’t need your help.”

She parted her lips to call his name but nothing came out.

It was Amos!

All of the sudden, the teenage boy bit her arm. She looked at the bite mark blankly. Without warning, the teenage boy shouted, “Be careful!”

Something swooshed through the air behind her but before she could turn around, she felt a whip landing on her back with a loud slap.

It hurt…

Suddenly, Eudora opened her eyes and stared at the white ceiling above her.

“Eudora, you’re finally awake. It was worth donating all my blood to you,” Harley stood by the bed and said.

“But really, Eudora, you leave me with no words. You’re a woman and yet you tried to save Amos back there. Didn’t you think about yourself at all? You must have saved Amos several times now, haven’t you?”

Harley’s words seemed to bring Eudora back to reality, and the events that had transpired before she passed out, flashed by in front of her.

“How’s Amos?”

“He…” Harley wanted to speak but stopped on second thought and said, “He’s fine!”

Eudora was doubtful. Therefore, Harley quickly changed the topic and said, “Oh, by the way, Caleb and Wendy have been arrested. They have caused such a huge ruckus this time and I don’t think anyone can save them now!”

“Oh!”

They brought it upon themselves. Eudora did not think that they were worth her sympathy.

“Does Amos know?” She suddenly asked. After all, he had always thought that it was Wendy who had saved him.

“He…” Harley paused and then continued with a smile, “Eudora, you’re jealous!”

Eudora could not help but roll her eyes at him, “Why do I need to be jealous? That is between them both and it’s none of my business. Besides, there is nothing between me and Amos.”

“Really?” Harley was filled with disbelief. He continued, “I wonder who it was that tried so hard to save Amos. Yet, now she’s saying that there’s nothing between them! Forget it, let’s not talk anymore. I feel like you’re flexing your relationship with Amos by just talking to you. I’m going to talk to some pretty nurses! Bye!”

Eudora was speechless.

Shortly after Harley left, Eudora frowned and tried to recall her dream.

However, she knew clearly that it was not a dream.

…

At the same time, in the operating room.

The surgeons were still doing their best to save Amos.

Clint was standing outside the operating room, seemingly hoping that he could see what was going on inside.

At this moment, Old Master Granger was wheeled by his assistant from the other side of the corridor. “How did he end up like this? Clint, explain it to me immediately,”

Clint parted his lips and said, “It’s just some gangsters.”

“What gangsters? You think that I’m old and senile, don’t you? There are so many pairs of eyes in the hospital. Do you think that I don’t know it’s because of Eudora?”

Clint could not help but roll his eyes before saying, “Miss George is still lying in the ward because she saved President Granger. Besides, Miss Liam had caused the accident this time. I recalled you saying that you wanted Miss Liam and President Granger to get married!”

After all that had happened, Clint thought even more highly of Eudora.

“How dare you!” Old Master Granger was so furious that he started coughing violently.

The assistant behind him immediately tried to soothe Old Master Granger. “Please don’t get angry.”

Old Master Granger took a long time before he finally stopped coughing.

At the same time, the door to the operating room opened and Clint hurriedly went forward. The Old Master, who was behind him, quickly scrambled over and stared at the doctor.

“Doctor, how is Mr. Granger?” Clint asked.

“He nearly injured his heart. He almost lost his life.”

Hearing this, Old Master Granger was so nervous that he could barely breathe.

“But he’s alright and in a stable condition now!”

It was only then that everyone heaved a sigh of relief. “President Granger is blessed! Don’t worry, Old Master!” the assistant said.

Old Master Granger was secretly relieved as well but he pretended to be disgusted and said, “He’s lucky this time around but if he continues to stay with Eudora, who knows if he will be able to stay alive? Let’s go home!”

Clint and the assistant exchanged looks, and the latter pushed the Old Master away hastily.

Clint sighed and went over hurriedly to look at Amos.

Meanwhile, Harley had gotten everything ready in the ward. When he finally saw that Amos was alright, Harley too breathed a sigh of relief.

After assisting Clint to settle Amos down, Harley said, “Eudora had just woken up but I did not tell her about Amos. You know what to do.”

“Alright!” Clint nodded.

It was Amos’s idea to not tell Eudora.

“I’ll head back first then! I still have a lot of matters to attend to!”

In fact, they had deliberately chosen that exact timing and location to escort Wendy. They thought that nothing would happen. However, they did not expect that Caleb Chuck would make a move before that.

After leaving the hospital, Harley hurried back to the police station.

As expected, it was hectic for his colleagues, especially those who were responsible for the incident earlier. At the same time, his helpless colleagues were being bombarded by the victim’s family members.

On the contrary, his department was not that busy.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

At this moment, the lady who was in charge of the international cases happened to walk past Harley’s office. She had a good relationship with him, so Harley took the initiative to ask, “Do you need any help?”

The lady did not hesitate and immediately threw a stack of phone numbers at him.

“Thanks!”

Harley could only reply, “You’re very welcome…”

The lady had no time to deal with him because another phone call had just come through.

Harley picked up the files and skimmed through the information. It turned out to be the case in which the international authorities had asked for their cooperation. The photos on it were all the witnesses that they had found.

He flipped through them casually. At the next second, his fingers froze.

Eudora George.

That name stood out on the entire list.

Harley frowned. Eudora? Perhaps, it was someone else who had the same name?

As he thought of this, he scrambled to search through the other files from the international authorities.
