Chapter 292 Blessing in Disguise
Eudora George tried to move her foot but she realized that she couldn’t.
“Don’t move. The doctor has placed your leg in a cast. Your big toe is broken.”
“Ah?” Eudora pouted at Amos, “Does this mean that I can’t walk for now?”
Amos Granger was not in the mood to tease her. At this moment, he was incredibly upset. In fact, he blamed himself for all her injuries.
“It’s all my fault. I should have noticed that you didn’t look like your usual self over the past couple of days. The Old Master must have caused you troubles. Fortunately, there were other people around today, otherwise, goodness knows what might have happened to you.”
The thought of losing her made him feel like he was going to collapse.
Eudora frowned and shook her head hurriedly, “Amos, it’s not what you think. I wanted to save him!”
She then asked hurriedly, “Where’s the Old Master? Is he alright?”
Amos said grumpily, “He’s fine.”
“Amos…” Eudora softened her voice, “Don’t be angry…”
Amos didn’t say a word. Clint Zuckerberg, who was standing behind him, left sensibly and closed the door.
Then, Eudora said again, “You are so fierce! I’m a little afraid of you!”
Sure enough, Amos finally relaxed a little and looked helplessly at Eudora.
“You are not allowed to be afraid of me.”
“Why don’t you smile for me then? Once you smile, I won’t be afraid of you anymore!”
Amos pursed his lips together but he couldn’t force a smile. Eudora immediately turned around and said, “Fine then. I won’t talk to you.”
Since he had accused her of being a petty person, she was going to be petty now. Amos sighed helplessly and extended his hand to her, “Here, hold my hand…”
Only then did Eudora turn around and hold his hand. After that, her face suddenly became a little gloomy, “Did you check out the place?”
Amos was stunned, “What do you mean?”
“To check the place where I got injured. I thought that it was a little strange. The terrain on the other side of the forest was very flat. I only allowed the Old Master to wander around the maple leaves because of that. However, I don’t know why he had suddenly slipped.”
Amos’ expression was solemn, “Are you saying that someone might have done it?”
Eudora nodded, “Am I overthinking it? I think it’s better to check it out.”
“Clint!” Amos immediately shouted, “Take a few people with you to the scene and see if there is anything suspicious there.”
Clint’s expression changed slightly. Things had been calm for a long time, and he thought everything was smooth-sailing. However, did something happen again?
“Alright. I’ll do it right away.”
After saying that, Clint pushed the door open and left. As soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by the Old Master, who was rushing over.
The Old Master had just arrived at the hospital. This was because Clint drove at a break-neck speed whereas the Old Master’s driver wanted to deliver him there safely. After all, he was an old man.
When the Old Master saw Clint, he immediately asked nervously, “How is she?”
Clint looked at him in surprise. It was mainly because the Old Master looked really strange. Didn’t he hate Miss George? This incident might have been a blessing in disguise for Miss George after all.
At the thought of this, Clint deliberately exaggerated Eudora’s injury.
“All of Miss George’s toes are broken. The doctor said that it may leave sequelae. I don’t know where Miss George had gotten the courage to do that. Sticking her foot underneath your wheelchair to stop you from falling. It hurts even when I think about it.”
The expression on the Old Master’s face turned even more terrible, “I’ll go in and have a look.”
Clint nodded, secretly pleased with himself.
The Old Master paused at the door of the ward for a while, then pushed the door open, and went in.
“Eudora….”
Eudora immediately let go of Amos’ hand and smiled at the Old Master, “Old Master, you are here!”
When Eudora let go of his hand, Amos frowned and reached for her hand again. Eudora could not get rid of his hand, so she just rolled her eyes at him.
The Old Master didn’t say a word, but his eyes fell on her feet, “Are you okay? Does it hurt? I’ll ask someone to go to Country M to fetch the best orthopedic doctor there to treat you.”
It’s okay,” Eudora shook her head, “I’m fine.”
The Old Master frowned, “How are you fine? Aren’t all of your toes broken? If there are any sequelae, it will be bad.”
Amos snorted and said, “I thought that this would give you an excuse to drive her away.”
Old Master Granger knew that he was in the wrong, so he did not retort.
Eudora quickly ran her fingers along Amos’s palm and whispered, “Don’t say that…”
Then, she said again, “I’m really fine. Don’t worry. It was my idea to bring you to see the maple leaves. I never thought that it would turn out like this. I’m sorry.”
“Eudora, don’t say that,” the Old Master said with a gloomy look.
“I misjudged you. I…” the Old Master said and then stopped. He opened his mouth but nothing came out. Soon, he continued.
“You’ll know when you get better!”
After that, he ordered his servant, “Take me back!”
After the Old Master left the hospital, he went straight back to the mansion. Everyone had already heard about the accident and they had all gathered in the main room.
When Harry Granger saw the Old Master, he was the first to run over and push his wheelchair.
“Brother, you scared me to death. When I heard that something had happened to you, I was so scared out of my wits that I immediately dropped everything and rushed home. Where did you hurt? Are you alright?”
The Old Master shook his head, “It’s okay. Don’t make a big deal about it!”
Kaylene Yoder, who was next to him, immediately said, “Brother, I was worried that something would happen to you when I saw you go out in the morning. Eudora has always been a scourge. She was suddenly so attentive to you and I am wondering if she was trying to kill you. It must be the case! She must have done this so that she could marry Amos!”
The Old Master’s face became even more gloomy, and Bethany Hamilton, who was standing next to him, was also shocked. When the Old Master told her to take a couple of days off, she had decided to go to the mountain to pray. She even brought Vincent Granger along with her. She just got back not too long ago, and she was still stained with the smell of sandalwood.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“I don’t think that Eudora is that kind of person, is she?”
“Bethany, what do you know? They may look nice but you have no idea what they think of you in their hearts. The Old Master has said that Eudora is not allowed to marry Amos as long as he is alive. Besides, you’ve been away for two days, so you wouldn’t know, would you? The Old Master has been looking for ways to make her suffer. I’m not surprised if she did it!”
Bethany was also stunned, “Is this true? Old Master…”
“That’s enough!” the Old Master finally said, “What the h*ll are you talking about? Did you the witness? Who did you see Eudora push me down the hill? You always talk nonsense without thinking first. You guys must be bored out of your minds!”
The Old Master had never scolded anyone like that before. Kaylene was so scared that her jaw dropped. She didn’t know how to close it.
Bethany was also surprised, but she soon composed herself.
“Old Master, it’s my fault. Don’t be angry.”
