My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) novel Chapter 590

After Eudora left, she took a detour before heading to the building next door.

She then found a hiding spot, and soon glimpsed Harley and the others leaving in a fit of anger.

Only then did she avoid the surveillance camera and go over to knock on the door.

However, there was no response for a long time.

Eudora pushed the door gently and it opened. She went straight in, and there was no one in the living room.

She kept walking forward based on her memories from the last visit. At the entrance of a study situated at the end of the corridor, she heard a man faintly coughing.

Every cough was a thud on her heart. She stepped forward and saw Amos sitting behind a big desk. His back was facing the door.

He was holding a photo frame in his hand. Eudora stretched out her head and took a look. It was a picture of him and her together.

It was taken when they registered their marriage.

She was smiling, with her head tilted slightly toward him, like a sweet little girl.

Seeing this, her lips twitched as tears welled up in her eyes.

Coughs came from the room again. Amos put the frame back into the drawer and started working again.

Eudora took a deep breath, took out the tie from her bag, and went to knock on the door.

The coughing stopped abruptly. However, his throat was still itchy, and he tried hard to suppress his coughs.

"Come in!"

Only then did Eudora open the door. "It's me."

Amos's hand, which was covering his mouth as he coughed, suddenly loosened. There was a startled expression on his face.

However, it was only for a brief moment, and he soon regained his composure. "What are you doing here?"

Eudora said nothing. Instead, her eyes were looking at his forehead. Just as Tina said, Amos's forehead was injured.

He refused to take his medication and continued to work, which took a toll on his health. Hence, he began coughing again.

However, he must have instructed Doctor Leon to hide the wound behind his hair, so it couldn't be seen.

Eudora clenched her fists. "I... I heard you're ill! Why aren't you taking your medication?"

When Amos heard this, a trace of joy flashed through his eyes. He suddenly raised his head, "Are you here to see me?"

Eudora's heart skipped a beat. "I... came to return your necktie. Thank you for saving me that night."

The delight in his eyes dissipated instantly as he heard this. He regained his cool composure. "Oh, there's no need for that. Just throw it away!"

Eudora ignored him and put the tie on the sofa.

"This is yours. If you want to throw it, then you'll have to do it yourself!"

Hearing that, Amos got up slowly and walked over to the sofa. Because he was ill, his cheeks looked a little flushed, and his brows were tense. He must be trying to refrain from coughing.

He walked over slowly, with an oppressive aura about him. Eudora didn't know what he intended to do and subconsciously took a step back.

The next second, he sneered. "What are you afraid of? I'm not interested in another man's woman!"

Eudora felt a stab in her heart as she stood there motionless.

The bandage looked like it was not changed for a day as there were still some dried blood stains on it.

Eudora stared at the blood stains and furrowed her brows.

After putting the medicine on the table, Eudora turned back and went to take the medicine kit over. Inside were gauze, bandages, and iodine to tend to wounds.

She figured that Amos had fallen asleep because he was very unwell, so she gathered the courage to lean over to him. She knelt on the sofa beside him and reached out to slowly remove the gauze from his forehead.

The wound underneath the gauze was more serious than she thought. Originally, she thought that he just had not changed the bandage on time. However, it seemed that the wound itself was still red and swollen.

It was very likely that the inflammation of his wounds caused complications to his condition.

Eudora clenched her fists and looked down at his gaunt face and thought, "Amos, you fool." As he was still asleep, she seized the chance to quickly throw the gauze away and slowly cleaned his wounds using iodine and cotton swabs.

In his stupor, Amos detected a familiar scent that belonged to Eudora. His heart trembled as he quickly opened his eyes.

What he saw was her chin that was right in front of him... She was so close to him that he could even feel her breath on his face.

For a moment, he thought he was dreaming again. Ever since she left, he had been dreaming of her return, and her telling him that it was all a joke and a stupid prank.

How could she abandon him and the children just like that?

Amos gradually woke up from the sting caused by the iodine on the wound.

What was happening was real. It was not a dream. She said she wanted to stay and help him because she wanted to repay him for saving her life.

Looking at Eudora, who was so close to him, Amos had the desire to reach out and hold her in his arms like before.

But in the end, he just remained unmoving, for a long time...
