Eudora refused to entertain Kesha. She felt that Kesha's temper had gotten even stranger after eight years. Kesha used to be a hot-tempered person in the past, and she would show her emotions on her face. However, she actually began to talk hypocritically now. It gave Eudora the creeps all over. Even Amos ignored her too. Kesha was a little pissed and she strode off after that. She rolled her eyes disdainfully as she turned around. Kesha chided in her heart, "Eudora, why the heck are you so arrogant? When Steven succeeds with his project, he will have his own new company. You and Amos won't be able to catch up by then." "I'll let you have your way for a while!" Thinking of this, Kesha's mood was finally soothed. She smiled as she entered the door. When Eudora saw that Kesha had walked into the house, she did not dare to stay outside any longer. Juju was still inside. It would be bad if Kesha were to lose her temper and hurt Juju! S
Amos nodded, "You're right. We'll go to the hospital tomorrow for a check-up then." Eudora finally compromised and nodded helplessly, "I'll do as you say, alright?" "Good girl!" He flashed a wide smile. She had initially thought that he was joking. However, he really did drive her to the hospital after she got up the next morning. She wore a helpless expression on her face as she said, "I'm already much better. Can't you tell?" He shook his head and said, "I don't believe you. I will not be at ease unless I see it for myself." It seemed that there was no changing his mind, so she had no choice but to do as he said. On the way, Eudora soon felt sleepy. She had been feeling under the weather recently. For some reason, drowsiness hit her easily even without doing much in the morning. She simply reclined the passenger's seat and closed her eyes to rest. Amos reached out to check the air conditioner in the car and then raised the temper
"Look at you. We are a family. Why are you kneeling like this? Get up quickly." Steven stood up and cast an expectant look at Bethany. She smiled at him and said, "Sit down! You are still the President after all. If someone sees you in such a mess, they will think that I have done something to you!" He looked at Bethany's smiling face. For the first time, he felt that this old woman in front of him, who seemed like a good-for-nothing, was actually very terrifying. She could ferret out people's fear from the bottom of their hearts. He always felt that her heart was like the roots of a hundred-year-old tree, complicated and unpredictable. "You have two choices now," Bethany said, "The first one is to be fired from the company. Everything you have done will be exposed to the public and your reputation will be ruined for the rest of your life!" Steven's face sank, "No, Aunt Bethany, please don't fire me." He would have nothing without Valiant East.
Steven's heart was in turmoil. When his phone rang, he simply ignored it. "President Granger, Miss George is calling you," the assistant reminded him eventually. Slowly, he started to come back to his senses. Kesha had been the one to solve his previous crises. Could she still solve his problem this time around? With that in mind, he quickly picked up the call. "Kesha, where have you been?" Hearing his voice, Kesha calmed down a little. She knew that he wouldn't leave her hanging! With her anxiety momentarily abated, she let out of huge breath and started to speak. "You seem to be in a bad mood from what I've gathered before... What's the matter?" Puzzled, Steven paused to scroll through his call history. Sure enough, he had made a phone call just now. He must have accidentally dialed her number. Well, he might as well be out with it in that case. "You must've heard what I said just now, right? We're doomed, Kesha." Her h
Looking at the woman in front of him who was close to tears, the doctor was instantly concerned. "What's the matter?" "Here's the thing. Look, that's my sister and my brother-in-law..." Kesha pointed to the two people in front of her, "Don't they look happy?" The doctor nodded, "They do..." "You know, my sister... Just three months ago, something happened to my sister and she was..." Kesha trailed off. The doctor had already understood without her having to finish her sentence. His face instantly morphed into one of complete sympathy. "That's really sad to hear!" "According to the time that you've provided, my sister's child likely belongs to the offender..." "Is that so?" The doctor asked, mouth wide from shock. Kesha nodded as she rubbed her eyes, "Yes, it really is a huge shame. Because of that incident, my sister had lost her memory from the trauma and my brother-in-law has been worrying about everything ever since. I feel so bad for
Although Amos hadn't told him much about what had happened to Eudora last time, Doctor Leon was an experienced professional, so he had his guesses. According to the gynecologist's description of the pregnancy, it must mean that the child... He felt a bit overwhelmed at the thought. He didn't know what to say. He stood motionless for a long while before finally letting himself in. Amos was standing by the window in the room. The bright light that was glaring through the windows and onto his figure made him look like a desolate shadow. Doctor Leon took small steps as he approached him and started to speak. "Perhaps, I could strike up some sort of deal with my friend. Do you want to terminate the pregnancy while it is still in its early stages?" Amos froze. His tall, brooding figure heaved out a heavy sigh before he could get his words out. "I'll think about it..." Doctor Leon nodded in understanding. He knew how Amos felt at
In the evening, Auntie Valerie had prepared some brussels sprouts salad and honey pork ribs at Eudora's request. As she set the table, she asked curiously, "Miss Eudora, your appetite has become very strange recently. Didn't you use to hate the taste of brussels sprouts?" "Yeah, I think that it's weird too. My taste buds have changed for some reason..." She said, equally puzzled. "Miss George, could it be that you're.." Auntie Valerie started. "Auntie Valerie, you can serve the dishes now," Amos interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. Auntie Valerie seemed to have read the room, so she kept herself quiet after that. Eudora, on the other hand, had a great dinner. After dinner, she started to list down her requests for tomorrow's meals. Auntie Valerie indulged her and took down notes, her eyes drifting to Amos momentarily. Catching her eyes, Eudora assumed that Auntie Valerie might have been worried about Amos not liking the dishe
Eudora was taken aback by Felicia's sudden question. "Why makes you say that?" "When you were feeling unwell at home the other day, I already thought that you might be pregnant. I've had a similar experience when I was pregnant as well. Have you gone to the hospital for a check-up? If you're pregnant, don't drag it out too long. You should get to the hospital as soon as possible! You better take better care of yourself in case you really are!" Felicia smiled gently as she said. When Eudora heard her reply, she asked casually. "What exactly are the symptoms of pregnancy?" Felicia burst into laughter and said, "My dear! Haven't you been pregnant? Don't you know?" Eudora stayed silent a long while. Taking her silence as a plea for help, Felicia hurriedly answered her. "Well, some common symptoms would be that you'll get really sleepy and your stomach might feel really unwell sometimes. You'll often feel hungry as well!" Eudora had all these
