One Night Stand With That Beggar

Bethany Hamilton comforted, and the Old Master finally calmed down a little.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

However, he was still staring intently at Kaylene Yoder, as though he didn’t want to compromise at all.

Harry Granger quickly rebuked Kaylene, “Brother is right. You’ve been trying to sow discord all day long. What are you trying to do? Get out of here!”

Kaylene felt extremely wronged, but she also knew that she might have accidentally ruined their great plan, so she cried and ran away.

After she left, Harry said, “Old Master, please don’t be angry. She doesn’t know what she is saying. She is just jealous. I’ll go back and teach her a lesson later.”

Old Master Granger snorted, “If it weren’t for your indulgence, she wouldn’t have become what she is now. I hope you’ll teach her a lesson!”

Harry was stunned, “Brother, what happened to you today?”

“I’m fine. Go back to your work! I’ll be fine with just Bethany with me!”

Harry didn’t say anything else, and he was a little worried. He then turned around and walked out of the door. However, when he arrived at the door, he stopped.

Inside, Bethany stood there for a while. Then, she went over and poured a glass of water for the Old Master.

“You look tired. What happened to you? Why are you so angry?”

Old Master Granger frowned and said, “Bethany, I think that you were right before. I’m afraid that I have misjudged someone.”

Bethany paused, and her fingertips turned white.

“What’s wrong? What happened to Harry’s family?”

Harry, who was outside, also held his breath. He wondered if he had been caught red-handed.

Old Master shook his head, “No, I suddenly realized that Eudora is not who we thought she is. If it weren’t for her, I would have fallen into the valley.”

Bethany was shocked, “What happened? I didn’t know that it was so bad. Are you alright?”

“I’m fine. But Eudora’s toes were crushed and she has to stay overnight at the hospital.”

Bethany breathed a sigh of relief and then she smiled again, “Old Master, it’s still not too late. I told you that when I first met Eudora, I thought that she was a good girl. She wouldn’t blame you.”

“Yes! It’s just that Amos seems very angry now. If you are not busy these few days, would you visit her at the hospital for me? Also, our chef makes good tonic soup, right? Instruct them to prepare the soup and send it over to her.”

“Okay!” Bethany smiled and said, “Wait, I thought that you were just checking out the maple leaves? How did you fall?”

The Old Master shook his head, “I have no clue. At that time, I was admiring the scenery. I was probably too engrossed, but suddenly, I felt my wheelchair roll forward. Maybe the ground was too slippery? I’m not too sure. I didn’t really notice.”

“Oh!” Bethany said and she held the Old Master’s hand, “Be careful next time then. Thankfully, nothing happened to you.”

Outside the door, Harry breathed a sigh of relief at what he heard. Fortunately, the Old Master did not seem to know anything. However, after hearing what the Old Master had just said, he appeared to be fond of Eudora now.

He even told Bethany to bring her soup.

Eudora had been trying to mend the relationship between Amos and the Old Master over the past few days. If their relationship were improved, Harry’s family would lose their status in the household.

Thinking of this, Harry immediately turned back.

In the backyard, Kaylene sat there, crying. When Harry walked in, she threw a pillow at him.

Harry caught it and said, “Don’t cause me trouble. Didn’t you see that the Old Master was already angry? If I didn’t scold you, he would have probably beaten you!”

Kaylene cried even harder, “I am your wife. Even the Old Master does not have the right to hit me. Besides, I didn’t say anything wrong. Eudora is not a good person. I thought he knew that clearly. He even said so every now and then, so why can’t I say it?”

“Oh…” Harry sneered, “Before today, he would have agreed with you, but not anymore. Do you know why? It turned out that Eudora was the one who saved him. Now, his attitude toward her has changed drastically. I just overheard his conversation with Bethany. He asked her to bring Eudora some tonic soup!”

“Ah?” Kaylene was so surprised that she stopped crying, “What should we do then? I’ve deliberately bad-mouthed her a lot with him so that he would grow to dislike her. How did she manage to change his mind? What should we do now?”

The two of them thought hard and long.

Kaylene then suddenly said, “Do you think that Eudora did this on purpose? So that she could become the hero, rescue him, and change his mind?”

“No matter what, she had already succeeded. So, we should not go against her in front of the Old Master for the time being. Now, we should focus on the amusement park. We must make sure that we do a good job. We have to lay low for the time being.”

Kaylene nodded, and then, she gritted her teeth, “Amos is so fortunate to have found such a good girl, unlike that idiot Hank.”

Hearing this, Harry’s face darkened, “Don’t talk nonsense. You should never mention Hank’s name at home so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble.”

Kaylene shut up in a hurry, “I’ve got it.”

…

In the hospital, after the Old Master left, Eudora talked to Amos for a while. A few hours later, Auntie Valerie brought Juju to visit her.

“Mommy, why are you sick again? Didn’t you say that you are very strong when we were in Italy?”

The child’s unintentional words reminded Amos of something, and his face gradually grew gloomy. Eudora quickly reached out and pulled Juju into her arms, “Don’t talk nonsense. We would still fall sick even if we eat healthily? I lied to you last time because I wanted you to eat your greens.”

Juju’s lips twitched and she said, “Mommy is a liar.”

Eudora was speechless.

Amos, who was next to her, took Juju into arms, trying to coax her.

“Juju, you can’t say that. It’s all my fault. I didn’t protect your mother well enough. I promise that I would not let such a thing happen again.”

Juju nodded and said, “I believe you, Daddy. Mommy is no longer a liar then!”

Eudora laughed and ran her fingers through her hair, “Have you eaten well, Juju? What do you want to eat?”

Amos got up and said, “I’ll ask someone to prepare some food. Auntie Valerie, I may need to trouble you to take care of Juju for a couple of days. Be sure to lock the Ruby House at night and try not to let her out so often.”

Auntie Valerie nodded. She knew how dangerous it was at home.

“Don’t worry, I will take good care of Juju.”

“You don’t need to be so nervous. They wouldn’t dare to do anything for the time being. I will ask Anya to accompany you for the next few days.”

Since Anya Astor was good at kung fu, they would definitely be safe.

However, she said, “Doesn’t she have work to do too? Would we be troubling her? Actually, you could just take her home. It’s the same. I’ll be fine alone here.”

Amos immediately declined her, “The designing has been completed. She probably only needs to go to the construction site once in a while. It’ll be fine!”

Eudora was speechless and she repeated, “Again, I’ll be fine alone in the hospital.”

“Nah, I am not comfortable with you being alone in the hospital, lest you hurt yourself again!” Amos immediately shot down her suggestion.
