Chapter 62 A Rewarding Kiss
Auntie Valerie was shocked when she saw the scene, “What happened? I will call a doctor…”
“No! It’s fine!” Eudora said, “Could you please get a towel for me? He will be fine after a while.”
Auntie Valerie was a bit doubtful but Eudora seemed to be very confident. She brought a damp towel over hurriedly, to which Eudora then wiped Amos’ body gently with it. She left out a sigh of relief when she noticed that his condition was improving.
Auntie Valerie was stunned, “How could this be possible…”
Amos’ sudden relapse took a toll on Eudora’s already poor health. She was extremely worried about him earlier, and now that he was getting better, Eudora felt as though she was about to collapse on the ground.
Auntie Valerie quickly helped her back to her bed. She then looked at Amos, who was breathing normally. She shook her head and said, “Miss George, please have a good rest. I will stay here with him.”
Eudora nodded but she was still worried, hence she said, “Please do not touch him.”
Auntie Valerie nodded, “Got it. ”
Eudora fell asleep peacefully, for she knew that she could trust Auntie Valerie. After all, the latter had worked in their house for a long time.
It was already early the next morning when she woke up.
She felt much better after taking a rest. However, she could feel some sort of weight resting on her body. As she moved a little, she realized that her waist was being held on by a pair of big arms.
Eudora was surprised that she almost jumped up.
The man behind her held her and said, “Let’s sleep a little longer.”
Eudora breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Amos’ voice, “Why did you climb into my bed?”
“I couldn’t sleep well on the sofa because it was missing your scent,” There was a trace of mischievousness in his deep voice.
Eudora was convinced by him, and then she recalled the rashes on his body. She turned around and opened up his collar to check.
When she saw that the rashes had subsided, she let out a sigh of relief.
The man grabbed her wrist and touched the tip of her nose with his, “I may not be able to control myself if you do this…”
Eudora blushed, “Hold up. Answer me. Why did you get those rashes last night? Did you have contact with any woman?”
Amos could not hide his happiness when he saw Eudora questioning him so feistily. His lips curled, “Are you jealous?”
“Who’s jealous? Whatever. I almost threw you out yesterday. Just ask Auntie Valerie.”
“Why are you being so fierce?” The happiness in Amos’ eyes deepened, “How did I get better if you had thrown me out last night?”
“How am I supposed to know? Maybe you are not allergic to some other women’s touch?”
“And yet you said that you’re not jealous,” Amos reached out and pinched the tip of her nose gently, “This room is filled with your jealousy.”
Eudora pouted, “Go away!”
After a while, Amos then said, “Are you really going to ignore me? I’ll leave then.”
He got up after saying that.
In a split second, Eudora reached out and grabbed his arm, “I allow you to hug me.”
Amos lay down on the bed again and hugged her. At this moment, Harley entered the room.
He cursed his heart as though he had seen something that he should not have. He then covered his eyes and said, “I did not see anything.”
Eudora blushed and hid hurriedly under the quilt. At the same time, Amos sat up calmly and frowned slightly.
“This better be urgent!”
Harley couldn’t help but feel a chill on his back, “Is closing up a case considered urgent?”
Amos frowned slightly, “Are you sure that you’ve investigated thoroughly?”
Harley was stunned, “Do you have any other leads?”
Eudora looking at the two men curiously, “Are you guys talking about the car accident?”
“Yes!” Amos replied faintly. He then reached out and gently tapped her shoulders, gesturing her to lie back on the bed, “Have a good rest. I’ll be back soon.”
Harley was dumbstruck after seeing Amos informing Eudora about his whereabouts. He had never acted like that before.
“You’ll be fine, right?” Eudora asked.
“Yep. It’ll be fine. Don’t worry,” Amos then turned around and went out with Harley.
Harley turned around and waved goodbye to Eudora, “See you next time, Eudora!”
Eudora was speechless.
Once they got to the lawn, Harley looked at Amos anxiously, “I heard that you were attacked by a woman last night. Are you okay?”
“Do I look like I’m not okay?”
“Tsk! How did you end up getting attacked by a woman then? What did you do?”
Amos did not answer, but he merely asked, “Is the case settled?”
“Not yet, but almost. Based on the evidence, the driver was just exhausted.”
Amos chuckled, “I’ll show you something.”
The lead was sent to him this morning by the people that were working for Thomas Shelby. However, he had not seen the file yet. He then passed the file to Harley. After opening the file and checking its contents, Harley’s face gradually darkened.
“It was planned? Did they bribe the driver?”
However, his colleagues couldn’t find anything of the sort. That indicated that the people behind this were very powerful.
“You were checking on this last night, so…”
“That’s not the point!” Amos interrupted him, “The point is Samantha is the person behind this!”
There were clips and photos of Samantha meeting the truck driver in the file. It seemed that Harry’s family was involved in the plan.
Harley frowned, “It’s them again. What are you planning to do then?”
Amos sneered, “I don’t know anything. What do you think I should do?”
Harley immediately understood, “Okay, I got it. I’ll hand it over to the relevant department.”
It seemed that Harry had really triggered Amos this time.
…
Samantha Cooper had been staying at home after that incident.
Learning that the police were about to close the case, she went to get some news on Eudora.
She was told that Eudora had already woken up.
Samantha was so angry that she threw the groceries that she had just bought to the ground.
“Eudora, you got lucky! How did you even survive that?”
Suddenly, Samantha heard the siren of police cars from afar. She noticed that the police were heading to her house. Out of panic, she quickly ran in the opposite direction.
…
Eudora was lying on the bed while Amos was leaning against the sofa, peeling an apple for her.
He then handed the peeled apple over to Eudora, “Have a bite?”
Eudora took a bite, “It’s sweet!” She then took another bite.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
However, she seemed to have bit too much and she accidentally licked Amos’ finger. Amos asked, “Which is sweeter? Me or the apple?”
Eudora knew what Amos’ thoughts were just from his look. She couldn’t help but shrink her neck, “The apple is sweeter.”
“Hmm?” Amos grabbed her chin and kissed her on the lips, “Wrong. Give me a new answer.”
“The apple is sweeter!” She struggled.
Then, she received another kiss. This time, it was a French kiss. Eudora was very nervous because she was afraid that someone would push the door open all of a sudden.
When he finally let go of her, she quickly changed her words, “You’re sweeter!”
The man kissed her on the lips once again, “Correct. You get a kiss as a reward.”
Eudora was speechless.
