On the way back, Eudora began to calculate in her mind whether she had enough money. Over the past few years, she had saved a significant sum of money working abroad. Originally, she had planned to save it up for Juju. After a rough estimation, she decided that she had enough. She quickly headed to the bank to withdraw the money before it was closed. It took her longer than usual to withdraw such a large sum of cash. By the time she came out, it was already dark. Eudora was not in the mood to go home, so she went straight to Global Plaza with the money. On the way, Eudora felt that there was a discomfort in her stomach, since she hadn't eaten anything since noon. However, no matter how unwell she felt, she was not in the mood to eat. After finding a place to sit in Global Plaza, Eudora looked at her mobile phone, waiting for the clock to turn eleven. At the same time, Harley had already arranged everything. He came out of the police stati
The thought had never occurred to Eudora before. It turned out that after all this while, what the kidnapper wanted was not her money, but her life! She gritted her teeth and pretended that she couldn't hear what the kidnapper had told her. "Huh, what did you say?" Of course, the kidnapper was no ordinary person and was not someone who could be easily fooled. When he heard her question, he proceeded to attack Juju again. Juju, who seemed to understand their conversation, started to shake her head violently while sobbing. Nothing hurt Eudora more than to see her beloved Juju being mistreated and bullied like that. Her heart ached as if it was dripping blood. No, she couldn't just stand here and do nothing. Eudora looked around frantically while thinking. The next second, she suddenly said, "I'll jump! If you promise me not to hurt my daughter, I'll listen to you!" "It took you long enough. You should have jumped when I told you to! The child is
"Madam, but if we don't inject her with sedatives, she will most likely hurt herself." Eudora still couldn't make up her mind. Looking at Juju's condition, she was afraid that if she took the sedatives, she might have to rely on it in the future as well. How could she allow it? Juju was only five years old, and she still had a bright future ahead of her! Thinking of this, Eudora hurriedly called her name. "Juju, Mommy is here. Be a good girl, please don't make a fuss, alright?" To her utter dismay, Juju shook her head and looked at Eudora blankly, familiar yet strange. ...... Outside the door, Amos had his wounds wrapped up. When he arrived at the door of the ward, he heard noises coming from inside. Stunned and anxious, he hurriedly went into the room. At a glance, he saw the room in a total mess, and a group of people was surrounding Juju. Amos frowned and shouted, "What are you all doing?" Hearing this, Juju, who had been looking
After the doctor left, the atmosphere in the ward got even more somber. But soon, Eudora calmed herself down again. If she was sad, it would only add more burden to Juju's heart. She took a deep breath and flashed a bright smile. "It's okay. It's alright if Juju doesn't want to talk. Come on, Mommy will feed you." Juju began to eat again. Eudora fed her just like how she used to when Juju was younger. In fact, Juju began eating on her own since she was three years old. Since then, Eudora rarely fed her unless Juju wanted or asked her to. Therefore, at this moment, Eudora felt an inexplicable warmth. After all, they were biological mother and daughter, and not long after. their connection and sense of intimacy were established once again. After she was finished eating, Juju fell asleep in Eudora's arms. Eudora lay Juju in bed gently and covered her with the quilt. Then, she sat down and stared blankly at Juju. There was a lo
The psychologist probably thought that she had heard it wrong. She glanced at Juju, who was lying peacefully in Amos' arms. Just a few seconds ago, she was throwing her temper like a little devil, but she calmed down in an instant once Amos arrived. And yet he said that they were not blood-related? It was truly hard to believe. However, the psychologist was not an insensible person. Since Amos had clarified it himself, there was no need to add on any more hassle. "But even if that's the case, you can see for yourself that the child is refusing therapy. Why don't you try to persuade her?" Amos Granger nodded and looked at Juju again. "Let this doctor have a look at you, alright?" Juju shook her head, her face full of resentment. "Be good and listen to Uncle, okay? I promise to take you to the amusement park next time." Amos' voice was very gentle as he coaxed Juju. He was extremely patient with the little girl. Harley looked at Amos in a shock
However, dreams were just dreams, and they could not be compared to reality. Eudora came back to her senses and hurriedly took the ring away from Juju's hand. "Juju, you can't simply touch Uncle's stuff. It's impolite." Juju pouted and looked like she was about to cry when Amos said hurriedly, "It's fine. It belongs to you anyway!" It was only then that Eudora realized the ring was the one that Amos had given her. Se had taken it with her when she left, but then she lost it. She thought that she wouldn't be able to find it, but she didn't expect it would end up back in Amos' possession. Eudora could feel heat gushing into the hand that was holding the ring. The memories of the ring suddenly made her flinch as if scalding her finger, and Eudora hurriedly loosened her grip. "I left long ago. This isn't mine anymore!" After that, she bent down and reached out to Juju. "Follow Mommy back to our room, alright?" Obviously, Juju didn't wan
Amos could not bear to see her cry. He felt that his heart was about to be ripped in half by the tears of the mother and daughter. Without thinking about anything else, he hugged both of them tightly without hesitation. "I'm here, so you don't have to be afraid anymore!" Originally, Eudora was just worried, but because of Amos' embrace, it triggered her to cry even harder. At this time, she suddenly didn't want to care about the past or the fiancee. She didn't want to think about anything else. She just wanted to have a good cry. Thinking of this, she cried even harder in the arms of this familiar man. She wept and wept as if she was sobbing away all the years of helplessness, fear, and grievance. In the end, even Juju had stopped crying, leaving Eudora to cry her heart out sorrowfully. Amos looked at her, his heart aching, "It'll soon be morning if you keep on crying!" Only then did Eudora return to her senses. She rubbed her eyes and saw that
Wendy went straight back to her apartment after leaving Caleb's place. When Auntie Agnes saw that she was back, she quickly ran up to her. "Miss, you're finally back. Where did you go last night?" "Oh, something came up at the office. I have been busy all night long!" Auntie Agnes nodded. "Then I'll go and get something for you to eat!" "No need!" After saying that, Wendy added, "Did Amos look for me?" "No!" Auntie Agnes shook her head. "Mr. Granger would have called you if he wanted to see you!" "Oh, right!" Wendy nodded and headed to take a shower. After coming out, she thought through it again and decided to buy something to bring over to the Granger family. Old Master Granger was sitting in the garden after taking his medicine. A servant came over and reported, "Miss Liam is here to see you!" The Old Master was stunned, and then he remembered the agreement he had with Amos Granger. He shook his head and said, "Tell her that I'm
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
