Chapter 234 A Heartless Son
The person’s flashed towards her and Eudora could not dodge it in time. Before she knew it, that person had already slammed into her. It was so painful that she gritted her teeth.
For this reason, that person fell to the ground and could not get up as well.
Meanwhile, another person came up from behind and grabbed the woman. “You horrible woman, you’re finished today!”
Eudora was taken aback and said, “Harley?”
Amos and Juju also rushed over to help Eudora. When Amos saw the bruise on Eudora’s wrist, his face instantly turned cold.
“What’s going on?”
However, Harley’s eyes fell on the child who was riding on Amos’ shoulders and said, “Amos, you have fallen. How could a brilliant star like you become like this because of a child? What’s the difference between you and those mediocre men now?”
The girl who had just bumped into Eudora looked curious and asked, “What do you mean?”
“He had become a slave of his daughter!”
“Tsk!” The girl said grumpily.
Harley came back to his senses and said, “Why are you talking to me? You’re not a good citizen. Stand still.”
The girl rolled her eyes at him and stood up.
Amos called, “Harley…”
“Yes!” Harley stood straight and said, “I’m sorry. I’m catching criminals.”
“What criminal?” The girl looked unhappy.
“You!” Harley said through gritted his teeth and continued, “It’s the fourth time! If you can run away from me today, I’ll change my surname to yours!”
Amos frowned and looked at Eudora’s wrist. “We’d better go back and patch this up!”
“I’m fine!” Eudora shook her head and said, “It’s just a small cut. I’ll just buy a band-aid.”
“Help! You have to save me!” the girl hugged Eudora’s arm and said, “I’m not a criminal but this annoying guy is always following me. Please help me!”
“How dare you harass my friend?” Harley said and tried to pull the girl away quickly. However, she refused to let go.
In the end, Eudora almost fell because of the girl’s grip and Amos went to her rescue hurriedly. Then, he glared at the two of them resentfully.
“Enough. What’s going on?”
“We…” The two of them started talking at the same time and it was very noisy!
Amos gritted his teeth and said, “One by one.”
“I’ll start first!” Harley said, “It’s like this. I went for a crackdown once but she escaped. So, in order to fulfill my duty, I decided to find her.”
Amos nodded and turned to the girl, “What about you?”
The woman glanced at Amos and said, “It seems that you are the boss, right? That’s great. Let me tell you, your friend here has mental problems. I’ve told him so many times that I’m not a prostitute and I don’t run that kind of business. That day, I just sent something to the club but he wouldn’t believe me and had been chasing after me ever since. What do you think of that!”
“Nonsense!” Harley gritted his teeth and explained, “When we went in, you were being beaten up by a woman. How dare you say that you are not…”
“I’m really not! I was beaten up because I’m a relationship consultant and the woman who beat me up was the mistress!”
“What? Relationship consultant?”
“Yes, that’s right! The man did not like his woman anymore, so I pretended to be the man’s mistress to get rid of the actual mistress!” She took out her identity card and said, “See, look carefully!”
Harley glanced at her card and then threw it back to her.
“So what? Someone like you is immoral too.”
“Do you have moral standards then? You follow me around all day long and I haven’t sued you about wasting the taxpayer’s money!”
“You…” The two of them started quarreling again. Meanwhile, Amos had dragged Eudora away.
“Your wound grazed the floor just now and it would get infected easily if you leave it like this. I’d better take you to the hospital for disinfection first!”
Eudora was still thinking about Harley and that woman and she could not help but laugh. “Harley might have met his nemesis this time!”
Amos glanced at her and said, “You are also my nemesis.”
Eudora did not know what to say.
She turned to see Juju hurriedly, who immediately covered her ears and said, “I didn’t hear anything.”
Eudora was at a loss of words.
“Watch your mouth when you talk in front of a child next time!”
Amos was taken aback and he repeated, “Next time?”
Only then did Eudora realize that she had a slip of a tongue because she was too angry, “I’m not…”
“I heard it. You can’t go back on your words!” Amos said immediately.
Eudora did not want to argue with him, so she let him take her to the hospital.
After disinfecting her wound, they were not in the mood to go out anymore, so they were prepared to go home.
At this moment, Amos’ phone rang. His face changed drastically as soon as he picked it up. “Which hospital are you in? I’ll be there right away.”
“What’s wrong?” Eudora asked quickly.
“He’s sick! He’s in this hospital. I’ll get a car to send you back…”
“It’s okay. We’ll just go back by ourselves. You’d better hurry and take a look at him!”
Amos nodded and he quickly turned to enter the hospital again.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Juju was curious as she stared at Amos’s anxious silhouette. She could not help but ask, “Who is Daddy talking about?”
“It’s Daddy’s father!” Eudora replied. She felt a little guilty. She had long known that the old man was in poor health. How could she forget? She should have asked Amos to go home to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Old Master Granger had always been very ill-tempered and he must be furious with Amos for not going home to celebrate Thanksgiving!
“Daddy’s father is my Grandpa, right?” Juju suddenly added, “Is Grandpa ill?”
Eudora wanted to say that Old Master Granger was not her grandfather but she felt that it was meaningless to argue about this with a child. Therefore, she merely nodded and said, “Sort of!”
“Shall we go and see Grandpa?” Juju asked.
“That won’t be good,” Eudora hesitated. The Old Master did not like her and she did not like him either. Wouldn’t they just argue if she went over?
“Wouldn’t it be worse if we don’t go? Besides, Daddy has been with us for so long just now. Are we just going to ignore Grandpa?”
Juju was like a little adult and her points seemed to be valid.
Eudora had no choice but to nod. She then said, “Okay! But we must not speak and we’ll just take a look from a distance okay? After all, we haven’t met anyone from their family yet.”
“Okay!” Juju nodded.
The two of them followed the direction where Amos ran to just now and soon, Eudora saw the entire Granger family standing in front of the emergency room.
Amos stood in front of them and said nothing.
Behind him were Bethany, Harry, and Kaylene. Bethany was expressionless but Harry kept talking.
“Amos, I’m not being a busybody but it’s your fault this time. It’s Thanksgiving today and yet, you refused to come home to eat with your father. You’ve gone too far.”
Kaylene pretended to stop Harry, “That’s enough.”
“Why should I stop? He’s the only son left but what did he do? He’s such a heartless son.”
