With Clint's efficiency, it didn't take long before he got an answer from the person in charge of the project.
"According to him, his car was suddenly scratched by another car when he was on his way home two days ago. So, he took two days off to rest at home. He's currently on his way here, and later he will be explaining what had happened."
Eudora nodded. "Luckily, we could still get some information from him."
At the very least, it wasn't the end of the road.
Thinking of this, Eudora calmed herself down and took a seat on the sofa. However, half an hour had passed, yet no one showed up.
Clint too was starting to get a little anxious, so he grabbed his phone.
"I'll make a phone call to ask."
After the line was connected, Clint's expression gradually became serious. Eudora, who was originally in a slightly calmer mood, also started to get anxious.
"What's wrong?"
Clint hung up the phone with a shocked expression on his face.
"The person-in-charge was already on his way here, but he suddenly lost control of the car and hit the guardrail. His condition is critical at the moment and he is currently being treated in the emergency ward.¹' Eudora's body trembled, "How could this happen?" Clint did not know what was going on either. "Don't worry, Mrs. Granger. I'll think of another way." However, Eudora couldn't sit still. "Which hospital is he in? I'm going to visit him."
"He's currently being treated in this hospital." He was already on his way here, and the accident happened when he was about to arrive, so he would surely have been sent to this hospital.
Eudora and Clint both rushed to the emergency room.
When they arrived at the door of the emergency room, the man's family members were already there.
An old woman in her sixties was holding a little girl in her arms, but the old woman was very strong and she did not shed any tears.
She just sat there, staring straight ahead.
Eudora walked towards them and greeted the old lady.
"How is he?"
The old lady shook her head and spoke, "It's fine. The doctors should be able to save his life!"
Eudora frowned. "How did the accident happen?"
The old woman finally came to her senses. She raised her eyes and looked at Eudora. "Who are you?"
"I... I'm Eudora George. My husband is responsible for the project your son is currently in charge of."
Eudora said in a very tactful tone, but the old lady was already clear of what was going on.
"Are you talking about the Amos Granger who was taken away by the police?"
"Yes!" Eudora nodded. "Do you know something?"
The old woman shook her head. "No. I don't know anything."
Eudora had a feeling that this old woman was acting a bit strange, but the old woman was unwilling to cooperate at all. She had to give up since she couldn't do anything about it.
Since she was already there, Eudora decided to stay and waited for the operation to be over.
The operation went on for almost three hours before it finally ended.
"Fortunately, we managed to save his life but his head was seriously injured during the accident. Family members must pay close attention to his wound and take good care of him. There can be no more accidents."
The little girl immediately rushed up to him and asked, "Doctor, my father was hit on his head. Will he be okay?"
Clint was about to speak when the door was pushed open. Harley and Christopher came in one after the other.
Christopher took the lead and said, "Why didn't you inform us that such a serious matter had happened? We could've at least tried to help!"
Harley said, "Obviously none of you would be clearer about what's going on at the police station than me. Unfortunately, in order to avoid suspicion, I couldn't help Amos in this investigation. So for now, I could only inform you if there are any changes in the police station."
Eudora felt more at ease with Harley's help to convey Amos' situation in the police station.
"How is Amos now?" Eudora asked.
"He's okay!" Harley laughed. "Don't underestimate his capability. He's the Amos Granger! He's just cooperating with the investigation. You are the one that has to be more careful, especially when you're out here."
"Is he feeling alright then? He was taken away before he had even recovered!"
Harley's expression was slightly stagnant.
"He's fine, don't worry."
Eudora was so filled with worry that she didn't notice there was something was amiss with Harley's expression. She finally felt a little more at ease.
"That's good. Please take care of Amos for me."
"Eudora, what are you talking about? Of course I will take good care of him!"
As they were talking, a nurse came to check up on Eudora. Although she was already much better, she still stayed in the hospital for a daily checkup.
The three men left sensibly, and Clint didn't say anything until they got outside.
"Mr. Louis, please be honest with me, what happened to President Granger?"
