Chapter 291 Close Call
The servant still did not understand, “What?”
“Silly girl!” Eudora George smiled, “If the Old Master did not want to stay here, he would have gotten angry a long time ago. However, he claimed that this was my idea, that I should do as I wish, which means that he does not want to leave!”
The servant immediately understood, “Miss George, you’re the smarter one after all. I really can’t understand him sometimes.”
After that, Eudora went to make the necessary arrangements.
Originally, Eudora had wanted to stay with the Old Master, but she knew that he wanted to look around on his own. Eudora did not want to disturb him, and since it was flat ground all around, so she watched him from a distance.
Before him was a maple forest. From afar, it looked like the glow of a sunset on the horizon.
Eudora also liked it very much. The beautiful scenery could magically help one forget all of their problems. She suddenly thought of Amos Granger. If only Amos and Juju were here, it’d be perfect then.
Thinking of this, she took out her mobile phone, took a picture and sent it to Amos.
She captioned the picture: “I stumbled upon these beautiful maple leaves when I was driving along the countryside. It reminded me of the times we spent in the car, enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Soon, Amos replied with an unfinished text message, “I remember we did more than…”
He paused for two seconds, as though he was thinking if it was appropriate to write such a thing.
Amos then finally replied, “Yeah, I remember the maple leaves were really beautiful.”
Eudora was speechless.
“Amos!!! Argh! Forget it.”
After a while, Amos replied with a laughing emoji, “Are you angry? You’re no fun at all.”
Fortunately, there was no one there because, at that moment, she was blushing. This man was so good at flirting.
“Well, I won’t tease you anymore. Why did you go out?”
“Oh, just for fun,” After Eudora finished texting, she put the phone into her pocket. When she was about to look for the Old Master, she suddenly heard his cry for help.
“Ah!”
Eudora was shocked and she ran over in a hurry. Then, she saw the Old Master’s wheelchair on a slope, and it was rushing down uncontrollably. There was a hill below it, and there was a deep pit at the bottom.
She didn’t dare to imagine what would happen if he were to fall into the pit.
Eudora didn’t have time to think. She shouted and quickly ran toward the Old Master. At this moment, the wheelchair was rolling at a break-neck speed. Even if Eudora managed to catch up to it, she wouldn’t be able to stop it at once.
Seeing that they were both going to fall, Eudora put her foot under the wheel of the wheelchair and stop it from rolling.
The wheelchair itself was very heavy, especially with the added weight of the Old Master. Eudora could almost hear the sound of her bones breaking. However, she did not dare to say anything at this point.
They were already at the edge of the cliff. She was afraid that if she were let go just a bit, all of her efforts would be in vain.
Therefore, she kept telling herself that help was on its way. She just had to hold on a little longer.
The Old Master was also shocked and he did not seem to notice that there was something wrong with Eudora. When assistance finally arrived, they were all shocked when they saw what had happened.
Eudora’s shoes were stuck in the wheelchair. At this moment, there was blood flowing out of the hole in her shoe.
Yet, she kept her feet under the wheelchair and refused to move at all.
The servant seemed to feel the pain and she cried hurriedly, “Miss George…”
Eudora opened her mouth weakly, “Help the Old Master first.”
At this moment, the Old Master finally realized that there was something odd with Eudora. She had actually put her foot under the wheelchair.
Previously, the Old Master had learned from Amos that Eudora was a very stubborn person. She looked weak, but her willpower was very strong.
He had always thought that Amos was exaggerating, especially because he was looking through the lenses of a lover. However, he had witnessed this today with his own eyes. He was shocked.
He had never seen a girl like that before. It was no wonder Amos was attracted to her.
For a moment, the Old Master forgot his prejudice against Eudora and cried hurriedly, “Eudora…”
Eudora smiled and her lips turned pale, “Don’t move. Everything will be fine.”
As she spoke, the servants lifted the Old Master out of the wheelchair. Eudora, who had run out of strength, couldn’t endure it anymore and she finally collapsed on the ground.
…
When she woke up again, Eudora found herself in someone’s arms. Her nose was filled with the familiar yet reassuring smell of mint.
She moved and then smiled again.
“Amos, what are you doing here?”
“Stop talking!” Amos said in a low voice, “We’re going to the hospital.”
“I didn’t…” Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt an excruciating pain in her feet and she passed out once again.
Amos lowered his head and looked at Eudora’s pale face. He felt distressed and he punched himself in anguish. He noticed that Eudora had been looking very tired over the past couple of days and the weird thing was, she was at home all day.
She would seldom leave the house nowadays since she did not have to go to the construction site anymore. Over the past two days, she had gone to the bookstore and then to check out the maple leaves. However, he had forgotten that there was a stubborn and difficult old man at home.
Clint Zuckerberg stopped him hurriedly, “President Granger, don’t hurt yourself. If Miss George wakes up and sees you injured, she will feel guilty.”
After listening to Clint’s words, Amos stopped hitting himself.
Instead, he said, “Drive faster!”
Clint looked at the speedometer. He was already driving as fast as the car could go. He wanted to cry but he had no tears. He was already driving at the maximum speed. How was he supposed to speed up even more? It was not as though he had wings that could fly.
Fortunately, Amos did not say anything else.
When they arrived at the hospital, Amos refused to put Eudora on a gurney. He wanted to take Eudora in himself. While they were on the way, he contacted the orthopedics expert.
When she was finally admitted into the ward, the orthopedics doctor arranged for an X-ray on her injured foot. Next, he examined the X-ray with knitted eyebrows.
“The big toe is broken, and her other toes are slightly fractured. I will probably need to realign her toes, and she needs to stay off her feet for a period of time.”
Amos frowned, “Will there be any side effects?”
“That’s hard to say. Everyone recovers differently. However, I just looked at her medical history. Looking at the recovery periods of her previous injuries, it is unlikely that there will be any sequelae. Therefore, you can rest assured.”
Upon hearing this, Amos didn’t feel relieved. Instead, the expression on his face became even more terrible.
If the doctor hadn’t mentioned her previous injury, he wouldn’t have realized that Eudora had gotten injured often since they had gotten together.
Whenever he said that he would take good care of her and Juju, yet she still got injured again and again. He really couldn’t forgive himself.
Clint wanted to persuade him, but when he saw the expression on Amos’ face, he did not dare to say anything.
Fortunately, Eudora woke up not long after.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Clint said hurriedly, “Miss George is awake.”
Amos, whose face was gloomy at first, suddenly softened at the sight of her. He quickly stepped forward and laced his fingers with hers.
“Hey, you’re awake. How are you feeling?”
