Before Naomi and Eudora could express their doubts, Eudora started to lose her grip on the rope. Eudora shouted loudly, "Naomi!" Nelson, who was being questioned by Cody on a rock, jumped towards Naomi. He grabbed onto the other end of the rope held by Eudora. In the blink of an eye, he was hanging onto the other side of the tree. He and Naomi ended up like a balancing scale, hanging from both sides of the tree. Eudora felt a tremor and she breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Nelson, who was gazing into her daughter's eyes in mid-air. His action just now looked to have come from his heart. If it wasn't, then the only explanation would be that he was a really good actor.. However, even Amos couldn't be so good at doing that, therefore Eudora could only believe in their love. "Sh*t!" She heard Jerry cussing. Eudora's heart skipped a beat, and she was thinking about how to get away again. Fortunately, Nelson had saved Naomi, for n
After searching for a long time on the mountain, Amos became more and more impatient. Additionally, the scorching sun on top of his head flustered him even more. Several times, he felt so agitated that he wanted to kill someone! He knew this problem very well. Eudora was the only cure for it. As long as he saw her and hugged her, he would be able to stay calm. Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a twinge in his heart. Frowning, he stretched out his hand and covered his chest. "Eudora..." He wondered if something had happened to Eudora. "No, she'll be fine!" he desperately tried to persuade himself. However, it didn't seem to work. He couldn't banish all the troubling thoughts from his mind. His thoughts were interrupted by a phone call. It was from Clint. "We've found it! The location is probably at a platform on the mountainside next to where our cabin is located..." Following Clint's voice, Amos qu
Amos replied, "Yes, I really can't trust Nelson!" Harley nodded and said, "I can understand your feelings. After all, from your point of view, he is your enemy, but this time, you might have misunderstood him! Based on our investigation, he is the victim in this incident. Moreover, his injuries are quite severe too. He is in the ward next door. If you don't believe me, you can go and check his medical records." "Could it be that he deliberately got injured to gain our trust?" Amos asked in a low voice. "I don't know about that. However, he had indeed given his life to rescue Naomi and Eudora, thus I'm rather dubious about the whole notion that he was faking it." Hearing his words, Amos cast a doubtful look at Harley. Harley shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything else. A nurse came in, so Amos asked the nurse about the patient in the next ward. The nurse spoke excitedly, "Are you talking about Mr. Luther in the next door? He is really awesome!
Amos looked at Eudora affectionately and said, "So, stop telling me to act otherwise!" Eudora's tone became solemn as she replied, "Naomi is our daughter! She's not a bad person!" "She took sides with a bad person, and she harmed you in the process. That's where her fault lies!" After that, he stretched out his hand and held Eudora's shoulder. "Well, we've been talking for a long time. Are you hungry? I've asked Uriah to make some delicious dishes for you and send them over. I think it's about time the food arrived. You should eat first!" Eudora turned her head away and ignored him. Amos was not angry. He turned around and went out. Naomi had been standing outside of the ward for quite a while, brooding over Eudora's condition. However, she didn't dare to go in since Amos didn't allow her to do so. She could only wait outside silently. Unexpectedly, she saw Nelson stumbling out of his ward while she was waiting. "Why are you h
Eudora quickly shook her head and said, "That's not what I meant, Amos. Don't think that way." Amos gave a wry smile. "Forget it, you don't need to say anything more. I won't force you to trust me. Let it be!" After that, he took a step forward abruptly . The strange thing was that there had initially been a fence in front of them. To Eudora's consternation, it disappeared the moment Amos stepped out. Eudora watched helplessly as Amos's body fell from the hospital building. Her heart in her mouth, she rushed forward, trying to catch him. "Amos!" She was petrified at the thought of losing Amos. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and her surroundings had changed. Currently, she was in the ward. With lingering fear in her heart, she got out of bed without hesitation. She ran out of the ward without even putting on her shoes. Just as she was about to open the door, she bumped into a familiar embrace. When Amos saw Eudora, he hurr
It had been a surprising and exhilarating event for Naomi because Amos would no longer stand in the way of her and Nelson's happiness from then on. They could be together! Therefore, she took no notice of Amos' words about the miseries that she might encounter in the future. After thanking Amos, she brought Nelson back to the next ward to rest. On the same afternoon, after Eudora's condition stabilized, Amos went through the discharge procedures and really brought her back home for recuperation. ...... After Naomi left in the evening, Nelson got up and made a phone call to Richard. "Come to my ward instantly!" Richard had constantly been paying attention to Nelson's news. Therefore, he knew that Nelson was in the hospital. At first, he wanted to visit him. However, as soon as Richard arrived at the hospital, he was hurried back by Monique's call. Monique instructed, "On behalf of the corporate head office, I'm sending you to Floral
Nelson was nonplussed for a moment before he remembered the incident of the night before. He instantaneously chuckled and said, "How do you want to punish me? Be gentle, my body hasn't recovered yet!" Naomi was gobsmacked. "You pervert! What are you thinking about?" "Who's a pervert? I said you should hit me lightly. Is there a problem with that?" Naomi was at a loss for words. She hadn't expected him to be so good at flirting. He must have done that on purpose! "Give me your mobile phone!" She ignored the previous subject and moved to target his phone. His heart skipped a beat. Before he could stop her, Naomi had already accessed his phone's settings. After tapping a few times on the screen with her slender fingers, she picked up her phone and made a call to him. The ringtone of his mobile phone had turned into the sound of someone practicing self defense. There was a lot of shouting! It was very lively. "Th
Naomi hadn't gone to work for a few days, so she had to catch up on her work in the company. After a busy day, she was worn out and dizzy by the time she got off work. As soon as she went downstairs, she received a call from the hospital. "Is this Miss George? Excuse me, have you seen Mr. Luther? He went out this afternoon and hasn't come back!" Naomi was astonished. All her tiredness was gone in an instant. "Did he go out alone?" "Yes! He said he wanted to go home to get something, but then he didn't come back. We can't get in touch with his relatives, so we can only contact you." "Got it. I'll go to his house at once!" After hanging up on the call, she took a taxi without hesitation and headed straight for Nelson's house. She had never been to his house in the past. However, Nelson had told her once about its location. Based on her memory, she found his place successfully. Upon arrival, she quickly went over and rang the doorbell.
Naomi immediately changed the topic by saying, "I'm going to the meeting." As they spoke, her phone rang again. The secretary took a look and said, "It's from Mr. Olsen." Naomi said, "I'm late to the meeting! I'll talk to him after the meeting!" The meeting lasted for a few hours. After a few hours, Naomi stood tiredly in front of the sink. She looked more mature than she did before. She was indeed no longer the innocent girl she used to be. She remembered that before she went to the meeting, the secretary had mentioned that there was a message from Culver. She took out her phone and clicked on the message. The next second, her hand trembled, and her phone fell to the ground. ...... When Naomi arrived at the funeral home, Culver was already waiting for her at the entrance. "When did it happen?" Naomi tried hard to hold back her emotions along the way, but the moment she opened her mouth, her emotions flowed out. "Last ni
Although Naomi and Eddison were reluctant, they submitted under Amos' domineering aura. The next day, they packed up their things and went back to Rosaville City. As soon as the car was about to turn, it was stopped by Amos. "Go straight to the Granger Mansion." Eddison asked curiously, "Why are we going there?" "You're going to take over the Granger family's business, that's why!" Naomi teased. Before Naomi could finish gloating, Amos teased her, "You too." The two siblings' faces instantly stiffened, as though they were forced to resign to fate. Indeed, the first thing they did after they returned to the mansion was to ask Alfred to clean up the two master bedrooms for Naomi and Eddison. Although the two rooms were master bedrooms, they weren't totally identical. Alfred gave the better room to Eddison. Before they entered the house, Alfred noticed that Naomi seemed to be rebelling. After thinking about it, Alfred explained t
After coaxing Eudora for a while, Naomi managed to persuade her to eat a few mouthfuls of food. She was finally much calmer. However, it could be seen with the naked eye that she had lost some weight. Naomi was incredibly worried. While Eudora was on a walk with Eddison, she sat in front of Amos's bed. She said, "Dad, hurry up and wake up! Mom misses you so much that she's about to fall sick! Are you really willing to let her go on like that?" Naomi sniffed, "Mom was so beautiful when she was young. She looks really pretty now, too. If you don't wake up soon, I'll find someone else for her! When that time comes, don't regret it!" There was still no movement from the person on the bed. Naomi sighed in disappointment. When she turned around, a hand suddenly grabbed her sleeve. Naomi's heart skipped a beat of joy. When she turned around, she saw Amos staring at her. He yelled, "Don't you dare!" "Dad, you're awake!" Naomi was incredibly
"Mom, don't worry, Dad will be fine!" Naomi comforted her. Eudora hurriedly shook her head again, "What are you talking about? Of course, Amos will be fine. He's just angry with me! Where's my medicine? If you don't help me take it, I'll take it myself!" As she said, she got up from her seat. Naomi stopped her again and said, "I'll get it for you! Just wait here!" Eudora sat down obediently and reached out to hold Amos' hand. Naomi took a few steps outside and heard Eudora murmuring to Amos behind her. "Did you hear that? I'm being a good girl. Hurry up and wake up!" Naomi's nose twitched for no reason. She hurriedly restrained herself and quickly walked out. Her parents had been in love with each other for their whole lives. She had witnessed their journey since she was young. Eddison might not know about their history too well as he was really young back then. She remembered the time when there had been a great misunderstanding be
Amos hung up on the call and picked up the medicine that Eudora had not taken just then. He poured a glass of water and walked over to Eudora. "You haven't finished the medicine yet!" Eudora looked at the medicine in distress, pleading, "I think my body is much better now. I don't need to take it!" "That won't do," Amos remained strong-willed as always. "This medicine is good for your health!" "Medicines are drugs too!" Eudora was still putting on a fight. "You want to poison me to death, don't you?" Amos said helplessly, "Are you afraid of drugs, or do you want to suffer instead?" Eudora was rendered speechless. "Either way, I won't take it! It's too big of a pill to swallow. I know you're trying to poison me to death, so that you can find yourself a younger wife!" Amos was dumbfounded. "There are no younger girls who are more beautiful than you." "That's true!" Eudora nodded, and immediately looked into Amos's smiling
The Granger Mansion had been well taken care of, so there was nothing for Naomi to worry about. Hence, she decided to go straight back to Clearwater Bay. Amos and Eudora were not around. Although Clearwater Bay was in Cindy's care, it still felt desolate. In the evening, Cindy prepared a lot of delicious food for Naomi! "Your parents don't know that you're back in Rosaville City, right?" "No, they don't!" Naomi said after taking a sip of the mushroom soup. "Mom is in poor health, therefore I haven't told her yet. I'll go see her once I'm done with the matters here." "That's great! She must miss you and Sugar Bun." "What about you?" Naomi looked at Cindy with a smile. "Is everything alright between you and Uncle Charlie?" "Everything is fine! With everyone supervising him, he doesn't dare treat me badly!" As the two of them talked, Charlie protested from the outside. "Are you talking behind my back again with Miss Naomi?" Charl
It was only then that Culver remembered that Naomi was also in the kitchen. He concealed the panic on his face and pretended to be calm as he picked up the salmon next to him and put it on the pan. The next second, hot oil splashed out of the pan. Naomi pulled him away, "Mr. Olsen, don't act like you know how to cook!" Culver was not willing to give up. When he heard her words, he remained calm. "I can do this." "Stop lying!" Naomi exposed him without mercy. Then, she picked up the spatula next to her and flipped the salmon over. Culver stood behind her, watching her pour her heart and soul into cooking. It reminded him of the time she used to live in his house in Greene City. During that time, she had cooked all kinds of food for him every day. However, he had never actually seen her in action. It turned out she was still pretty as ever when she cooked. "Hand me the sauce!" It was not until Naomi called him
The doctor's face was solemn, "If it fails, he will only have two months to live!" Naomi fell silent. She finally understood why Nelson refused to undergo the surgery! "Miss George, you see..." "Are there not any other solutions, or at least something with a higher success rate?" Wasn't five percent too low of a success rate? It would be as if they were sending Nelson to death's door. The doctor shook his head, "It's not that we don't want to do something to help the patient. It's our wish for every patient to recover and live a healthy life, but Mr. Luther is in critical condition. We've really done our best! Moreover, his condition is deteriorating very quickly every day. It's possible that the success rate will lessen tomorrow! Therefore, we have to make a decision as soon as possible!" Naomi started to panic a bit. "Please let me think about it." She felt like an executioner at the moment. Her decision was the key to Nelson's su
"I don't like her anymore! If you want me to go back to the Olsen Group, please stop bugging me with your words!" After saying that, Culver made a call to Aaron. "Mobilize the tracking device that I asked you to create for Nelson, and find out where he has gone! " "Yes, Sir!" After getting a reply from Aaron, Culver made another phone call to the company. "Call the press and make an appointment for a press conference at three o'clock in the afternoon. I'll explain everything about this matter!" "For the stock market, just follow my orders." Marilyn looked at Culver, composed as ever, and suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity. Although he was the same person he had always been, it had been sometime since she felt this way. He had returned to his former self. ...... Nelson sat on the railing along the river as he stared at the surface of the water in a daze. He did not even turn his head when he heard footsteps behind him
