novelxo Chapter 193
After the doctor left, the atmosphere in the ward got even more somber.
But soon, Eudora calmed herself down again. If she was sad, it would only add more burden to Juju's heart.
She took a deep breath and flashed a bright smile.
"It's okay. It's alright if Juju doesn't want to talk. Come on, Mommy will feed you."
Juju began to eat again. Eudora fed her just like how she used to when Juju was younger.
In fact, Juju began eating on her own since she was three years old. Since then, Eudora rarely fed her unless Juju wanted or asked her to. Therefore, at this moment, Eudora felt an inexplicable warmth.
After all, they were biological mother and daughter, and not long after, their connection and sense of intimacy were established once again.
After she was finished eating, Juju fell asleep in Eudora's arms.
Eudora lay Juju in bed gently and covered her with the quilt. Then, she sat down and stared blankly at Juju.
There was a long moment of silence when Amos' cell phone rang suddenly.
After he glanced at his phone and saw that the call was from Harley, he took his mobile phone and went out.
At the other end, Harley was the first to speak, "I'm sorry, I failed to do the job that you had given me."
"What's wrong?"
Harley gritted his teeth. "When I was about to arrest the kidnapper, someone rushed out all of a sudden and knocked me out. I just regained consciousness, and the person had already disappeared!" As he said that, Harley let out a hiss of obvious annoyance.
Amos frowned. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine! But I found something!"
"What?"
"I found a shirt button that came loose from the person who had knocked me out, and I sent it to get tested for fingerprints. We could only know who the person is after we cross-checked it with our data." "Alright!" Amos nodded and said, "Are there any good psychologists at your police station? It'll be great if you recommend some experts!"
"What happened?" Harley asked hurriedly.
"Juju is a little traumatized."
"D*mn it! When I catch that b*stard, I'll kill him!" Harley couldn't help swearing. "Just give me a moment. I'll bring someone over as soon as I can."
After hanging up the phone, Amos walked back into the ward.
When Eudora saw that he had come back, she said, "If you are busy, you can leave. I can take care of Juju!"
"I'm not busy!" Amos answered, but as soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang again.
This time, it was Clint who called. It was only then that Amos realized it was nearly dawn. He had not slept all night and did not go to work.
He picked it up immediately, "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Granger, you have an important meeting that can't be rescheduled. You see..."
Amos frowned, and Eudora said, "Go ahead! Don't delay your work because of us."
Amos suddenly grinned. "Do you really care about my work, or do you just want me to leave?"
Eudora paused for a moment and did not reply.
Seeing her lowering her head, Amos felt a little upset. He thought that since Juju loved him so much, she would be slightly more considerate.
However, it seemed that she was still resisting him.
"Alright, I'm leaving!"
After Amos finished speaking, he took a look at Juju one more time before he turned around and went out.
When Amos stepped out of the hospital, he dialed Harley's number once more and reminded, "I have some matters to attend to in the office. Please watch over them for me. Call me if you need anything." Harley nodded. "Eudora's my sister in law. Her business is my business. You can count on me!" After hanging up the phone, Amos gave a wry smile in the direction of the hospital and drove away. Not long after Amos left, Harley came to Juju's ward with a psychologist.
Since the doctor was for Juju, she was definitely the best of the best. As for Eudora, she only wanted Juju to get better and heal from her trauma as soon as possible, so she agreed. Seeing that Juju already had enough rest, Eudora shook her awake gently,
When Juju woke up, the first thing she did was to take a quick look around the ward, hoping to find Amos. However, when she realized that he was not in the ward, her emotions immediately overwhelmed her. No matter what the psychologist said, it was completely useless, and Eudora couldn't do anything either. Juju's tantrum was even more intense than last night's.
Harley's mouth dropped to the floor at the scene.
Although he had met countless girls, every one of them was attracted by his charm. In front of him, they were always shy and gentle like a lamb. However, seeing Juju fly in such a fit made him tremble inwardly. Her temper was too huge to control.
Harley wanted nothing more than to avoid the monstrous scene in front of him.
Finally, amid the chaos, he quickly excused himself and made a phone call to Amos. Amos had just finished dealing with the urgent matter. Before he could catch his breath, he heard his phone ringing. It was Harley who cried out in horror at the other end, "Amos, help me!"
Amos shot up and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Did something happen to Juju?"
Harley silently glanced at the room behind him. "I think we have a bigger problem! Are you sure she's five years old? Why do I feel like she's capable of turning into a Hulk at any instant?" "Harley!" Amos gnashed his teeth. "Don't say that about Juju!"
Harley, of course, shut up almost immediately. "What a protective father! Alright, I'll stop talking. God, save me!"
Then, he ended the call.
Amos quickly rushed over to the hospital. He heard the heartbreaking cry coming from inside as he just arrived at the door of the ward.
Then, it was followed by Harley's shouting, "Darling, don't throw my phone!"
"Naomi George!" Eudora was also angry and couldn't help but scold loudly, "Are you really going to continue throwing your tantrum like this?"
As soon as Eudora finished her words, the loud bang of a mobile phone falling to the ground could be heard.
Amos rushed in and said, "Juju." Juju, who was originally in the middle of her breakdown, hurriedly ran over and hugged Amos's leg, crying.
At the same time, Harley also hugged Amos' other leg. "Amos!"
The psychologist next to them was speechless.
Ignoring Harley, Amos bent down and picked Juju up. "What's wrong? Why are you throwing a fit?"
Juju didn't say a word. She put her head on Amos' chest and lay there, motionless.
Her little eyelashes were still laced with tears, which made her look especially pitiful.
Her poor sight made Eudora both sad and distressed.
What upset her most was that her place of importance in Juju's heart as her mother seemed to have disappeared overnight. Not only that, but she was also distressed that her daughter had to suffer so much a such a young age. She failed to protect Juju.
Juju gradually quieted down in Amos' arms. Then, he looked at the psychologist and asked, "How is it going?"
The psychologist looked at him in shock. "You're the child's father, aren't you? If that's the case, there's nothing wrong with this child. She's just feeling a little insecure at the moment. You should accompany her more often!"
Amos pursed his lips and looked at Eudora again. After a long time, he said bitterly, "No, I'm not."
Ow! Ow! Ow! Harley looked at Amos in shock. Just now, when Amos said that he was not Juju's father, Harley actually felt Amos's disappointment and pain.
Sure enough, even Amos may look like he didn't mind on the surface, deep down, he was still upset that Juju was not his own child, right?
