One Night Stand With That Beggar

Doctor Leon did not realize that Amos did not know about the incident.

He then took advantage of the time to begin preparing his tools. He had previously checked on Amos’ wound and the bullet did not hit any vital parts in his body. Therefore, it should not be a big surgery.

Doctor Leon helped Amos to disinfect his wound and tried to divert his attention at the same time.

“Your father was as stubborn as you are. Didn’t he tell you that? In fact, your father was very reluctant to have you and your mother sent to the United States. He initially had an arranged marriage with the Hamilton family and there was no affection between him and his wife. At that time, he was already preparing to file a divorce.”

“However, Valiant East suddenly had a crisis and only the Hamilton family could help them with it. Yet, at that time, your father already had your mother.”

“Your father refused your grandfather’s arrangement. Your grandfather had no choice but to secretly send your mother away. However, your father eventually found out about it. He went after them and even fought with the people who sent your mother away. In the end, he was covered with bruises. Your grandfather asked me to treat him but he refused. He asked your grandfather to hand over your mother instead…”

At that moment, Doctor Leon was also done with the disinfection.

Then, he picked up the scalpel and tweezers.

Amos was so immersed in the story and he could not help but ask, “What happened after that?”

“Your grandfather refused to hand your mother over. To be honest, the father-son relationship in your family are all very similar, but your grandfather was the cruelest one among them. Your father was dying, yet he just watched, refusing to hand over your mother. Instead, he went to find your mother and let her see how your father was willing to die for her.”

When he got to this point, Doctor Leon sighed, “Your mother was a good woman. In the end, she told your grandfather that she only wanted your father’s money and that she had never liked him. After that, she disappeared.”

“Now that I think about it, she may have been pregnant with you at that time, but she did not mention it to your father.”

When he finished the story, Doctor Leon heaved a sigh of relief and said, “The bullet has been removed.”

Amos nodded. He did not make any sound but the sweat on his forehead showed that it was a pain that not many could handle.

Juju was still reciting the alphabets outside the room and her childish voice pulled Amos back to his senses.

Doctor Leon smiled, “It seems like you did not walk the same path as your father.”

Amos forced a smile but his heart was in a mess.

…

Meanwhile, Eudora had been staring at the door and her heart was in a mess too.

At that time, she did not expect that Amos would hurt himself when he said that he could not bear hearing Juju cry. If only she knew what he was going to do, she might have been able to stop it…

Behind her, Old Master Granger’s mood was not much better. His face was dark and he looked very frightening.

After that, the door was opened and Doctor Leon walked out with relief, “Everything is fine now.”

Everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Eudora entered hurriedly with Juju. The Old Master was so angry that he gritted his teeth behind her. “Where are your manners? Did I give you permission to go inside?”

However, no one paid any attention to him.

Amos, who was lying on the bed, had changed his clothes and covered himself with a quilt. Doctor Leon had kept away the tools he had used for the surgery and there was no trace of blood in the room. If it wasn’t for Amos’ pale face, no one would have guessed what had happened.

However, Eudora’s eyes were still red. She scolded him, “You can’t do this again, otherwise, I will ignore you for the rest of your life!”

The corner of Amos’ lips were curled and he laughed, “You look good when you’re angry.”

Eudora was speechless.

Juju immediately covered her eyes and said, “Shy.”

“Don’t you know what’s going on? How could you still say that?” Eudora put Juju down on the ground, “Take a quick nap. I’ll accompany you.”

Amos was indeed exhausted. He reached out to hold Eudora’s arm and fell into a deep slumber.

When the Old Master entered, Amos was already asleep. He heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed that Amos was breathing evenly. However, his face immediately darkened when he noticed Amos holding Eudora’s arm.

“B*stard! B*stard!”

Eudora ignored him. She was a little furious.

She did not understand how the old man could be so cruel to his own son.

“Amos is still sleeping. Please lower your voice.”

Old Master Granger gritted his teeth, “This is my home. When do I need to have your permission to do anything?”

“I don’t intend to either! However, I hope that you would stop interfering when it comes to my family,” Eudora retorted. She did not show any sign of weakness and seemed ready to retaliate.

The old master’s assistant immediately said in a hurry, “Old Master, the Young Master was just injured and I think he needs some wholesome meal to recover faster. Why don’t I accompany you to the kitchen to oversee the arrangement?”

This was a way to let the Old Master leave without being humiliated.

Old Master Granger said, “What’s the point? Why should I treat this b*stard so well?”

However, he still left with his assistant in the end.

After they left, Juju finally nestled herself in Eudora’s arms, “Mommy, how long will Daddy sleep?”

Eudora picked Juju up hurriedly, “Do you want to sleep too? Come, let me hold you.”

Juju was tired after crying the whole day but she refused to sleep, “I am still a little scared. What if Daddy and you disappear after I fall asleep?”

“No! I will hold you and never let you go,” Eudora held Juju tightly with one hand and continued, “I will sing for Juju…”

“Twinkle twinkle little stars, how I wonder what you are…”

Juju fell asleep after listening to her beautiful voice.

At this moment, there was a girl in Amos’ dreams. She was squatting alone and hugging her knees in an empty dark room. There was no one around. She sat quietly and started to sing.

“Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are…”

After she finished singing, she smiled at Amos. It was Eudora, and her bright smile drove away all the darkness in the room. The fear and hesitation in his heart disappeared immediately. He went over and took Eudora’s hand and said, “Let’s go home!”

Amos woke up from his dream and realized that he was still holding on to Eudora’s arms. Eudora, on the other hand, had fallen asleep beside his bed.

Juju was lying next to him and sleeping soundly as well.

The wound on his body was hurt when he moved, but he ignored the pain. He got up to pick Eudora up and put her together with Juju.

After that, he went back to his bed with the two of them in his arms and drifted into his dreams.

…

The next day, Eudora was awakened by a knock on the door. She got up quickly and found that she had fallen asleep on the bed at some point.

She sat up hurriedly and tried to take off Amos’ clothes to check his wound. Instantly, she was stopped by his hand/

“Don’t worry, dear!”

Eudora was taken aback and she turned to see Amos’ mischievous smile.

She was at a loss of words.

“What nonsense are you talking about? I was worried that I might’ve moved too much in my sleep and accidentally hurt your wound.”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Amos frowned and said, “You didn’t, but I hope you would make a move on me.”
