One Night Stand With That Beggar

Then, with a bang, Eudora felt a pain in her back and she blacked out.

The last thing she heard before she fainted was Naomi’s anxious voice.

“Mom!”

…

Meanwhile, Amos noticed that Eudora had been out for a very long time and hadn’t returned yet.

Just as he was about to go looking for her, he heard Naomi’s voice.

Everyone was startled. They put everything aside and bolted towards the woods.

By the time they arrived at the scene, there was nothing left.

It was pitch-black, so Amos ordered someone to fetch the torch lights. After combing the area, all they found was a button that belonged to Eudora. Other than that, there was no trace of Eudora and Naomi!

It had been ten years.

For the last ten years, Amos cared for Eudora because of what happened before. He didn’t want those incidents to happen to Eudora again.

He even hired more bodyguards in Clearwater Bay. He knew that it would have an impact on Eudora’s daily life.

However, he was not at ease. He couldn’t afford to take any risks.

This mountain was quite secluded. The three families should be the only ones who knew of it.

It was also a tranquil place where Eudora could relax. After all, they haven’t had any problems for the past ten years.

Therefore, he didn’t ask a lot of bodyguards to follow them all the way to the mountain. Still, something did happen.

Harley was flabbergasted too. He said, “Amos, don’t worry. I’ll get some men to find them immediately!”

Amos didn’t say a word while Harley contacted his colleagues and subordinates.

Christopher was still fairly composed. After comforting Tina, he raised his suspicion.

“I thought we were the only ones who knew about this place. Who else knows of it?”

Upon hearing this, Benedict couldn’t care about his promise to Naomi any longer.

“Actually, I saw Nelson just now.”

Harley was astonished and asked, “With your very own eyes?”

“Yes, he was right here just now!”

Amos gritted his teeth and shouted, “Nelson! Investigate his whereabouts throughout the entire day right now!”

“Okay!”

A few moments later, they got their results.

“He was last seen in this town. It’s indeed the town on this mountain.”

Amos was exasperated. He said angrily, “Did Naomi bring him here?”

He absolutely adored Eudora. He would not forgive anyone who had hurt her, even if it was his own daughter.

When Benedict saw Amos’s terrifying expression, he couldn’t help but intercede for Naomi.

“Uncle Amos, actually, Nelson only came to give Naomi a gift in the afternoon. Moreover, Naomi is not stupid. If he were to harm us, I think she would notice it!”

Amos’s face darkened. Harley quickly held out his hand to silence his son.

“Forget it, let’s not talk about this right now! Benedict, stay here and take care of your mom and Auntie Tina. We’ll go and find out what’s going on.”

Benedict said, “Dad, I’ll go with you.”

“I know what you’re thinking, but now is not the time. Be obedient!”

“I’m not going back. The two of you can go!” Amos spoke up.

“They couldn’t have gone far. They might still be somewhere nearby. You two, go back and investigate this clearly. I’ll look around waiting for news.”

Harley nodded and said, “Okay, take care!”

After that, Harley and Benedict left.

Amos left his bodyguards to take care of Tina and Thea, and went up the mountain.

When he first discovered the area, he had scouted the surrounding environment and ensured that it was safe. Only then did he build cabins here.

Amos spent the whole night going through all the potential hiding spots that he could think of, but he came up with nothing.

Finally, he stood alone amid the trees. Thinking of Naomi’s shout for help before they had gone missing, he was heartbroken.

“Eudora, please be safe. I can’t live without you!” He thought of Eudora.

…

After Eudora and Naomi were taken away, they had been placed in a dark room.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Eudora was the first to wake up as the sun began to rise. A sliver of sunlight shone in from the outside.

Feeling a headache, Eudora stretched out her hands and massaged her temples. It wasn’t until she suddenly remembered Naomi that she sat up fast.

Naomi, who was beside her, was still out cold.

Eudora nudged at her while asking fretfully.

“Naomi? Naomi? Are you all right?”

Naomi opened her eyes in a daze. As soon as she saw Eudora’s brooding eyes, she felt a lump in her throat.

“Mom!”

Eudora let out a sigh of relief and said, “Thank God you’re fine.”

“Mom, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have fought with you last night!”

She argued with her mother in a fit of pique, but she did not expect that her mother would jump in front of her without hesitation in the face of danger.

She truly regretted it.

Eudora shook her head and said, “It’s okay.”

Then, she looked outside the room through the gap by the bedside. She asked, “What’s going on? Why did someone come out of nowhere and kidnap us?”

Naomi shook her head and said, “I don’t know either.”

Eudora’s voice was hoarse as she continued, “It can’t be that your father and I made a new enemy?”

Eudora was dumbfounded. She hadn’t experienced an abduction for nearly ten years. She really didn’t see it coming this time.

Naomi couldn’t help but call her again, “Mom!”

“The guy hit you on the head last night. Are you okay?”

Eudora didn’t feel much before Naomi mention it. Now, indeed she felt a splitting headache.

However, she tried hard to put on a smile, hiding the pain.

“I’m fine, I don’t feel pain. I’m used to it!”

Naomi felt bad and pressed on, “Mom…”

“What’s wrong? Why do you look like you’re going to cry? Aren’t you usually fearless?”

“I’m sorry!” Naomi sniffed.

“It’s no big deal. Let me tell you, I am pretty experienced when it comes to abductions. Back in the day when I was with your father, many people from the upper class saw me as a thorn by their side. They were always looking for trouble with me.”

“If it was not a car accident, then it was a kidnapping. I remember once your brother and I were kidnapped together! Back then, your brother was still very young and I was sick. I was really helpless back then. But look, I’m fine now. We’re not too bad now.”

“At the very least, we are all healthy now. Besides, your father is also very experienced in dealing with this kind of incident. He will definitely get someone to save us soon. Don’t worry!”

She spoke in a very relaxed manner, but the more Naomi listened, the worse she felt.

When Eudora saw that Naomi was about to be sad again, she changed the subject quickly.

“Wait, didn’t we hear Nelson last night? Where did he go?”
