That day, Auntie Valerie brought her little grandson with him. He was way older than Juju but the two children had a great time playing together. They did not speak to each other but it was an inexplicably harmonious sight to watch. Eudora was very relieved and she went back to the office with Amos after lunch. However, Eudora started yawning as soon as she left as she had a late night the day before. Amos then patted his lap, "Rest for a bit. I'll wake you up when we reach the alley." Eudora still needed to go to the construction site in the afternoon, so she did not refuse. She took a cushion next to her and made it into a make-shift pillow. Before she fell asleep, she saw a patrol car driving past them. She took a glance at the vehicle and seemingly saw Wendy in the car. "That is..." "The investigation on Wendy's case is over and I think they're probably starting the court case. They must be changing the venue of her lock-up!" Eudora n
Wendy did not move. She saw the car that was going to catch up to them from the rear-view mirror. All of a sudden, a hint of viciousness crept into her heart as she saw the car approaching her. She was done with this life of hers. Even if she did manage to escape, wouldn't it be the same as the old days she once had with Caleb? She had enough of her miserable life! How could she give up without a fight? As she thought of this, Wendy disregarded Caleb's instructions and quickly took over the steering wheel. She then turned around to hit the white car behind her. Caleb did not expect this to happen. He shouted hurriedly, "Wendy!" At the same time, Eudora was a little relieved when she saw the police slowly closing in on them from the front. She realized that they were waiting for Caleb to take the bait. However, she suddenly noticed the huge vehicle in front of her had gone out of control and was swerving in her direction. She could see it clearl
"Call the doctor here right now!" Harley rushed to support Amos, who was shaking his head. "Go and get your blood drawn. Don't worry about me." "You're hurt. Do you think I'm going to leave you like this?" Harley retorted. However, Amos was right. Eudora was in danger too. Fortunately, Clint arrived just in time and Harley quickly passed Amos to him before going into the operating room with the nurse. ....... Eudora had a dream. It was still the same dark basement, but this time, everything seemed clearer. It was not as hazy as it used to be. In fact, she could see each item and each face in the basement clearly. The little faces which were filled with fear and stained with tears, as well as the terrible woman with a mask. And, Fae... Even Wendy . Eudora looked at them one by one and walked down the stairs into the abyss. Suddenly, a spotlight appeared in front of her. A bloodied teenage boy was tied to the spot and the masked
Eudora George. A woman from Rosaville City... One by one, all the criteria in the boxes were ticked. Was it really Eudora? Was she also in that basement years ago? Harley suddenly remembered what Eudora had asked him in the car that day. Did she really know? However, if that was the case, why didn't Eudora recognize Wendy and Amos? Harley frowned and continued to search for more information. However, he seemed to have hit a dead end. There were some records of the other witnesses after they were rescued from the basement. However, there weren't any of Eudora's record once she was rescued. Harley stared at the information for a while. An idea suddenly hit him. However, the idea disappeared as soon as it came. After that, he skipped Eudora's number and started calling the other witnesses. ...... Amos woke up the next day but he was still weak. He immediately asked about Eudora. Harley promised him, saying, "Don't wor
Auntie Valerie had forgotten that Juju was still in the room and had heard everything that she said. After Aunt Valerie was done explaining, Juju cried louder than ever. In fact, Juju was petrified when she heard that Amos stabbed himself with a knife. After all, children were very afraid of knives! "It's okay. He's much better now!" Auntie Valerie tried to calm Juju down but Juju was unwilling to listen to her. Not only Juju, even Eudora trembled when she heard what Auntie Valerie said. "Auntie Valerie, please take us to him. Juju won't feel at ease if she doesn't see him!" She was feeling uneasy as well. Auntie Valerie was hesitant. "Should I ask for Mr. Granger's permission first?" She was very worried about infuriating Mr. Granger! Auntie Valerie was always very considerate and Eudora did not want to make things difficult for her, so Eudora nodded. After that, Auntie Valerie quickly rushed to Amos' ward. His ward was not far from Eud
"Amos, you..." However, the man immediately wrapped his arms around her and urged, "Go to sleep." He might have asked her to sleep but he, on the other hand, kept looking at her face as if he could not get enough of it. Eudora felt a chill run down her spine as he stared at her. She quickly reached out to cover his eyes. "Stop looking at me! "Who am I going to look at if not you?" "You should go and admire those beautiful women! There are so many of them out there!" "But they are not as good-looking as you are." Eudora was speechless. However, he eventually stopped staring at her. Eudora lay on the bed and fell asleep after a while. ...... Eudora was hospitalized for over a month because of her fractured bone. On the other hand, Amos was discharged after two weeks. However, apart from having to go to work every day, he treated Eudora's ward as his home. This had caused a little trouble for Eudora. Whenever she step
"What? Didn't President Granger just call off his engagement? He's now going on a date already?" "Who is that fox?" As soon as she was done speaking, she suddenly had a feeling that President Granger was glaring at her. She was so frightened that she dared not make any more comments. President Granger was truly terrifying! At that moment, Amos's phone suddenly rang and he immediately picked up the call. It was from the prison again. "Hello, is this Mr. Granger? Are you currently free? Miss Liam is not doing very well. We were hoping that you would come and visit her!" Amos frowned and said, "I've told you, I won't visit her." "Mr. Granger, we're not pitying Miss Liam. We're just calling you out of duty. Miss Liam's condition is very worrying and she had gone on a hunger strike twice now." Amos frowned. He finally said after a long pause, "What are your visiting hours?" "You may come over right now! There's still one hour left."
Amos took a step back, smiling without warning. Then, he realized why Eudora's necklace looked so familiar. He recalled that he had seen it in the basement previously. He saw the necklace on the little girl when she was beaten. However, it happened so briefly that he did not remember it clearly. Harley thought that Amos' smile was a little scary and he quickly said, "Amos, isn't this a good thing? Eudora saved you back then and you have a reaction whenever she touches you. This means that you two were meant to be together! In fact, I have asked her about this, she said that she did not mind..." However, Amos was already ignoring him. He turned away silently and got into his car. In a blink of an eye, the car disappeared in front of Harley. Amos entered the restaurant through the back door as soon as he arrived. Immediately, he saw Eudora sitting under the lights with Juju. The warm yellow light shone on her head and it made her look like a ray of sun
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
