One Night Stand With That Beggar

Chapter 52 An Unexpected Disaster



The next day, Old Master Granger invited a group of famous doctors to give his son a full body check-up.

However, the result showed that Amos had no problem at all.

Old Master Granger once again told the doctors about Amos’ condition yesterday. Upon hearing this, the doctors were confused as well. One of them said, “Well, I’ve never encountered such a situation before. There must be a cause for this if the rash was really so severe.”

The other doctors also nodded their heads. They said, “Likewise. We’ve never seen this before too. Perhaps this is due to psychological factors since you mentioned that there is one person who could cure his rash. She might be the key to the illness.”

After the doctors left, Old Master Granger felt frustrated.

Eudora George thought that the Old Master was just concerned over his son’s health.

While she was watching him, Old Master Granger suddenly lost his balance. Eudora held him immediately and said, “Please be careful, Old Master.”

Old Master Granger looked at Eudora intently. Then, he continued to walk away.

Eudora sighed after Old Master Granger left. She said, “I feel that he really cares about you.”

Amos Granger smiled flatly and said, “What he cares about the most is that no one will inherit his company in the future.”

She guessed every family had their own problems! Eudora did not say anything anymore.

Amos began to put on his clothes. Eudora was stunned. She asked, “Where are you going?”

“Office,” Amos replied.

After he said that, Eudora jumped up and exclaimed, “Ah! I’m late for work!” However, her things were still at Clearwater Bay.

Amos was speechless. Silly girl.

“I have to leave first! I’m really late,” Eudora said and dashed out.

Amos grabbed her hand and said, “I’ll give you a ride.”

In the end, Eudora finally arrived at the company on time. Christopher Gellert was waiting for her in her seat. Eudora was embarrassed when she saw him.

“I’m sorry. I overlooked the time,” Eudora apologized.

Christopher looked at his watch and said, “It’s fine. It’s still not too late. Let’s go to the construction site now,” he said.

“Are you going to the construction site too?” Eudora was surprised.

“Why? Can’t I go too? After all, this is the first time that our company has received such a big project. I’m quite concerned about it,” Christopher said.

That’s true!

After that, Eudora followed him out.

There was a commotion at the construction site when they arrived. Eudora and Christopher looked at each other. Then, they hurried over immediately.

“What’s wrong?” they asked.

“The rope broke when they were moving the debris down. Someone was hit!”

Christopher’s face turned pale. He rushed to the scene immediately. This was the first time Eudora had seen Christopher so nervous. Without further delay, she dialed 911.

The scene was a complete mess. The worker was lying there with blood all over his body. Eudora’s heart trembled at the sight of this.

The workers gathered around Christopher and asked, “Boss, what should we do?”

The wife of the worker was sitting next to him. Her hair was in a mess. She sat there in a daze. There were two young children holding onto her legs.

Eudora couldn’t bear to see it. Therefore, she stepped forward to help the woman to get up. She said, “Please get up first. The ambulance is coming soon.”

The woman looked up and stared blankly at Eudora. Eudora shuddered. She could see hopelessness in the woman’s eyes.

Eudora inexplicably thought of the time when she was in the Meyer family. She felt a pang of sadness. Then she said, “Sister, don’t worry. Everything will be fine.”

The woman ignored her and lowered her head again. She continued to stare at her lifeless husband.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

The ambulance arrived very quickly. Eudora and Christopher followed them to the hospital. Everyone was waiting outside the emergency room.

Eudora took out a tissue and handed it to the woman when she realised the woman’s face was covered with dust. However, the woman didn’t accept it. So Eudora retracted her hand.

The two children didn’t seem to be as frightened as before. The older child felt that Eudora was a good person. Therefore, he asked, “Auntie, will my father wake up?”

The child was asking with an innocent look on his face. This made Eudora feel sad.

She reached out her hand and stroked his head. Then, she nodded and said, “Yes, he will!”

Upon hearing this, the child seemed to be very happy. After thinking for a while, he took out a small peanut from his pocket and handed it to Eudora. He said, “This is for you.”

Eudora took it with mixed feelings.

After a long while, the door of the emergency room opened. The doctor shook his head and said, “We’ve tried our best.”

Eudora’s heart sank. The next second, the woman, who had been silent all the while, suddenly burst into tears. Eudora’s heart ached when she saw this. She hurried over to hold her.

But she was pushed away by the two children. The older child punched Eudora and said, “You liar! Bring back my father!”

Eudora did not know what to say when they were accusing her. How could she explain to the children that this was all an accident?

Christopher rushed over to protect Eudora. His sudden movement triggered one of the children. The child grabbed Eudora’s hand and bit on it.

Eudora felt a sharp pain. The peanut in her hand fell to the ground.

The commotion ended when their mother fainted because she was overwhelmed by her emotions. Christopher sent her into the ward immediately. Then, he turned around to apologize to Eudora.

“Are you okay? Let me take you to get treatment for your wound.”

Eudora shook her head and said, “It’s okay. Have you found out why this happened?

Christopher gave a wry smile and said, “I guess this is my fate. It was said that the rope was broken. The police had taken it back for further investigation. The result will be out soon.”

Eudora nodded her head. She said when she realised Christopher was still worried about this, “Don’t worry…”

However, her mobile phone suddenly rang.

Right after she answered, Amos said anxiously, “Where are you now? I heard that something happened at your construction site?”

That was fast, Eudora thought.

Eudora nodded and replied, “I’m still at the hospital.”

“Please wait for me there.” After saying that, Amos hung up the phone.

Eudora sat on the chair in a daze. Images of the innocent look of the child flashed across her mind. All of a sudden, she blurted out,

“What would happen to the family if this incident has nothing to do with us?”

Christopher was stunned. “Do you feel sorry for them?” he asked.

She couldn’t explain. Perhaps it was her compassion for the family.

Christopher gave a wry smile and said, ” I guess you probably don’t know that Everpeace is just an empty shell. Everyone in Rosaville City knows that I, the Young Master of the Gellert family, is not favoured by the family. Initially, I took over Everpeace because I wanted to prove myself. But now…”

Eudora frowned. She had heard about the Gellert family. She felt that it was very similar to the situation in her family.

Christopher’s father loved his new wife, who was a young lady. He also loved the two children he had with the young wife. However, he didn’t really care much about Christopher.

“I’m sorry! I’m sure this matter will be solved soon,” Eudora said.

She patted Christopher on the shoulder to comfort him. The next second, Amos arrived.
