novelxo Chapter 201
Meanwhile, in the room.
Wendy took a shower and deliberately washed off perfume on her before approaching Amos again.
Currently, the drug in their bodies had begun to take effect and Amos seemed to be losing his mind from it.
As soon as Wendy walked over, he pulled her over and pinned her down onto the bed. His eyes were bloodshot, and there were various patches of rashes all over his body and his face. It was a ghastly sight. Wendy was initially frightened but she reached out swiftly and embraced Amos.
She coaxed him cautiously, "It's alright, it's alright. It'll get better soon! I'll make you happy..."
She tried her best to sound as gentle as possible and the man seemed to be attracted by her voice. He slowly lowered his head and approached her.
Wendy's heart began to throb. Were her efforts finally coming into fruition this time? This was the first time in so many years where she was able to get this close to Amos.
Wendy closed her eyes subconsciously and in the following second, she heard the whooshing sound of the wind. Before she could open her eyes, Amos had, once again, pushed her off the bed.
"No, go away!" Wendy gritted her teeth. All of a sudden, she heard hurried footsteps conning from outside the door.
Subsequently, someone knocked on the door.
Harley was tense as he shouted, "Amos, are you in there? I'm coming in!"
Wendy stole a glance at Amos, who was in pain, and realized that Harley would never let it slide if he saw this.
Wendy instinctively wanted to hide, however, they were on the tenth floor and the only exit was blocked by Harley. It was impossible for Wendy to avoid the inevitable.
At the same time, the pounding on the door grew louder. Wendy gritted her teeth and was about to pull her bathrobe off. She believed that Harley would not be able to do anything if he saw her naked in bed with Amos.
As Wendy was weighing the pros and cons, something pounced at her from behind.
Immediately, someone covered her mouth before she could scream.
Caleb was observing Wendy at the side darkly, who was only wearing a bathrobe. At the next second, he quickly dragged her to the balcony and pushed her to the neighboring balcony. The door finally gave way and Harley and Eudora rushed in hastily.
They saw Amos lying on the bed as soon as they entered. Amos' breathing was uneven and his clothes were in a mess. There were both women's and men's apparels scattered all over the floor!
What else could she infer about what had happened here? Eudora suddenly found herself silly. There was nothing between her and Amos, yet, she was worried about him being assaulted by another woman. Well, it seemed like he was having the time of his life.
Eudora sneered and said, "It seems like I was worried for nothing. I'll head back first."
"Wait a minute!" Harley hurriedly called after Eudora and continued, "Amos seems to be acting a little strange."
Eudora felt even more indignant when she heard that. She had never seen Amos in such a mess before. He had always been highly vigilant and cautious even when things were previously complicated between them.
Who could possibly make him so agitated?
Eudora could not bear to think about it and she continued to walk away.
Without warning, someone shouted behind her, "Eudora..."
Eudora was taken aback when she heard the man shouted again, "Get out of my way, don't touch me."
Harley frowned. As he got closer, he noticed the red rashes all over Amos' body. Harley's face immediately darkened.
"Someone drugged him and he's in danger now." A chill went down Eudora's spine as she asked, "What kind of drug?"
Harley had been in the police force for quite some time and he immediately went to inspect the cup on the bedside table. He took a quick sniff and immediately understood what was going on. "It's Fantasy Dove."
Eudora didn't understand and questioned, "What's Fantasy Dove?"
Hearing this, Harley gave her a knowing look and Eudora instantly understood. She glanced at Amos again and it was no wonder that he was acting so strangely. It turned out that he was drugged. "Hurry, we should send him to the hospital."
"It's too late!" Harley continued, "He had taken a heavy dose. It seemed that the drug had also triggered his pre- existing illness as well! The doctors in the hospital will not be able to save him."
"What? What should we do then?" Eudora blurted out.
Immediately after, her hair stood on end. Harley was staring at her as he declared, "Eudora, you are the only one who can save him now!"
Eudora's heart skipped a beat. They were all adults, she certainly knew what Harley meant.
Yet...
She shook her head and declined, "I can't." Next, she turned around and decided to leave.
Behind her, Amos unconsciously called out her name, "Eudora..." Eudora's heart sank and she quickened her pace. Harley started explaining, "Eudora, it's been five years. I shouldn't interfere in the matters between you two but I have to tell you something. You have always been the only person in Amos' heart. He staged a car crash so he didn't have to marry Wendy. Don't you feel sorry for him after everything that had happened? Do you want to see him dead?"
He paused before continuing.
"Even if it weren't for him, what about Juju? Will Juju be able to accept it if he's gone?"
Eudora was already hesitant when she heard Harley's explanation. However, she finally stopped dead when she heard the last sentence.
Harley was delighted and hurriedly stepped forward to drag Eudora back. After that, he checked everything carefully before closing the doors and windows to the balcony. He even deliberately adjusted the lights before he went out.
"Eudora, it's all up to you now!"
Eudora was speechless.
Amos was half-naked with scruffy clothes as he lay on the king-sized bed. The warm light above him shone on his sun-kissed skin. It made him appear even more attractive than ever.
Eudora took a deep breath and observed the rashes on his body.
She frowned and quickly went to the bathroom to get a wet towel. She made sure the towel was damp but not dripping wet and wiped his body with it slowly. Amos was half-conscious when he pushed her hand away and resisted, "Don't touch me, go away."
Eudora pursed her lips and lowered her voice subconsciously, "Amos, it's me."
Her words were like magic and it immediately caught Amos' attention. He opened his bloodshot eyes and stared blankly at the woman in front of him.
The familiar face that he had been longing for all this time and her familiar scent indicated that it was not a dream.
Eudora was really here.
Amos took a deep breath as the effect of the drug grew stronger.
He grabbed Eudora's hand and pulled her onto the bed. The next second, he started kissing her passionately and aggressively.
Eudora's mind was buzzing before going blank instantly.
She was in a daze until she felt Amos unbuttoning her shirt. She hurriedly pushed him away and said, "Amos...."
"Give it to me."
The man's low and husky voice was coated with temptation as he said, "Eudora, save me." She was not a savior of his body but also his soul.
He said it in a very desperate tone, just like a child who was asking for sweets. At that moment, his reddened eyes were looking at her wretchedly and his body began to twitch, Eudora's mind was in a mess.
