My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 225



Chapter 225

"Is it too fast?" Christopher said with a smile, "Or, are you afraid?"

Eudora pursed her lips and she said, "No, I just feel that it's a little too sudden, but it's alright. In fact,

marriage is not supposed to be so complicated. It's just a procedure for us to get a marriage certificate,

right?"

Christopher nodded. He said, "I'm sorry. We'll hold a grand ceremony again in the future if we have the

chance to."

At that moment, Eudora felt that something was off.

She lowered her head and she saw Juju sitting there alone expressionlessly. No one knew what Juju

was thinking about.

Eudora called her hurriedly, "Juju, what's wrong?"

Juju shook her head and she seemed dejected. Eudora sighed. She reached out to hold Juju in her

arms.

For the first time ever, Juju came up with the idea of sleeping alone at night.

Eudora refused at first, but all of a sudden, Juju said, "You will not be sleeping with me anymore after

you get married, right? I should get used to it then!"

The simple sentence popped out of the child's mouth, but it made Eudora inexplicably sad. Eudora

hugged her instantly. She said, "No, Mommy will always be with Juju." Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Forget it!" Juju said. She pushed Eudora away and went to the room next door.

Eudora followed Juju silently. Her heart ached when she saw Juju's small body lying on the bed alone.

She waited for Juju to fall asleep before going over to lie down on the bed with her daughter. She then

fell asleep with Juju in her arms.

In the middle of the night, Eudora was awakened by the heat coming from Juju.

She got up hurriedly to turn on the lamp and found a thermometer to measure Juju's temperature.

It was 39.5 degrees and that was considered high for a child.

She hurried downstairs, but at that time, it was impossible for her to call a cab. She was about to call

Christopher when a familiar car pulled over in front of her.

"What's wrong?"

Eudora was taken aback. She saw Amos' tired face through the window and he seemed to have lost a

lot of weight. It was strange for him to be here in the middle of the night.

Amos asked again when Eudora did not speak. "What's wrong?"

"Juju has a fever and I need to send her to the hospital immediately," Eudora replied. It was an

emergency and she had no time to waste, so she quickly put their grudge aside. Juju was much more

important. Amos opened the door hurriedly and said, "Get in the car! I know a children's hospital

nearby. I'll send you there immediately."

Eudora nodded and got into the car immediately.

On the way, she could not help but ask, "Why were you in front of my house?"

Amos gave a wry smile. He said, "Is it too late for me to regret now? I finally realized that watching you

getting married to someone else is far more torturing than missing you desperately..."

He had never shown his weakness before. Eudora frowned and she said, "Since you have made your

choice, you should not regret it."

Suddenly, Juju, who was in her arms, cried out in her sleep, "Mommy..."

Eudora immediately snapped out of her thoughts and held Juju tightly. "Mommy is here, don't be

afraid."

"Mommy..." Juju spoke again as if she was trying to tell Eudora something. Eudora leaned closer to her

to hear what she had to say. The next second, she froze.

Amos Granger stepped on the accelerator and they arrived at the hospital shortly after.

They went to the emergency department immediately and the doctor explained that Juju needed to be

hospitalized. Therefore, Eudora was busy going through the paperwork in the middle of the night.

When Eudora returned, she noticed that Juju, who seemed to be tormented by the fever, was crying.

On the other hand, Amos was pacing around the ward with Juju in his arms.

His tall figure looked exceptionally warm.

Juju seemed to feel the warmth emitting from his body and she slowly calmed down.

Eudora took a deep breath and went in.

"Thank you, you should head back first. I'll take care of Juju!"

Amos parted his lips to speak but no words came out in the end. He put Juju down and got up to leave.

Soon, a car pulled over at the entrance of the hospital. The man in the car rolled down the window and

stared at the ward upstairs. The lights in the ward were switched on for the entire night and the man

stayed awake the whole night.

In the morning, Eudora was awakened by the ringing of her mobile phone.

When she got up to see the caller, she recalled that she was supposed to get married to Christopher

today. She picked up the phone hurriedly and said, "I'm sorry."

Christopher's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone. "Eudora, where are you? Are you

okay?"

"I'm fine. Juju suddenly had a fever last night and I took her to the hospital. I..."

"Wait for me at the hospital." Before Eudora could finish her sentence, Christopher had already hung

up. Eudora wanted to call him back but Juju had just woken up. The fever lasted for the whole night

and it had yet to subside. Juju looked incredibly weak and pale.

"Mommy..." Juju whispered.

"Are you thirsty? I'll pour you some water."

Juju shook her head and said, "Mommy, weren't you going to get married today? You should go! I'll be

fine here!"

Eudora could feel her heart tighten. How could Juju still say that when she was already this sick...

"Let's not talk about that okay? You should get better first, alright?"

"Mommy..." Juju shook her head and she continued, "Just go. I'm too young to protect you but Uncle

Gellert can. I hope that Mommy will be protected and never get bullied again in the future..."

"Juju..." Eudora hugged her hurriedly and replied, "Don't say that. If Juju doesn't like it, then Mommy

will not get married. I'll tell Uncle Gellert right now that I won't marry him!"

Christopher had just rushed over to the ward. He was about to knock on the door when he happened to

hear Eudora's words. His hand froze.

He stood at the door and stared blankly at the pair in the ward.

Yet, his mind was filled with the images from his first encounter with Eudora. Back then, she looked so

happy. Even though she was a little drunk, but her face was full of life. She was very adorable, just like

a little rabbit. Therefore, he teased her for a while. However, she did not seem to realize that he was

flirting with her.

Christopher only thought of that as a beautiful encounter and he did not expect to meet her again.

In fact, when he saw her resume back then, he knew that she was not qualified enough to enter

Everpeace Group. It was not due to her poor abilities but because of her inexperience.

He was willing to hire her because he fancied her.

Christopher used to pretend to be a playboy in front of Anthony Gellert and the old man but in fact, he

was a gentleman. There had never been a girl who made his heart throb.

It turned out that his affections for her grew as he got to know her more.

He knew that she was already attached, but he was still willing to stay by her side and treat her kindly.

Along the way, he watched as she broke up and reconcile with Amos over and over again. He was

there when she was at her happiest as well as at her lowest.

He accompanied her when she left Rosaville City and personally witnessed Juju's growth with his own

eyes.

Finally, he found a chance and he thought that he could finally be with her this time. However, in the

end, he still couldn't beat Amos.

Christopher clenched his fingers before loosening them.

This was for the best. From now on, he will no longer have any wishful thinking for her.
