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
Eudora's words pierced Amos' heart painfully. How could he not want a child with her? He had been dreaming of another child with Eudora for a long while now. He had missed his opportunity with Juju and always regretted it. Seeing that he remained silent, Eudora's face gradually darkened. After a long while, she mustered up a smile and said, "Alright, I understand now!" After that, she closed the door immediately, and soon, he heard her from inside, "Come on, Doctor. Let's begin!" Amos stood motionless outside, deeply frustrated. He saw the sparkle in her eyes just moments ago, and he also saw the sparkle disappear before him. His heart could not bear the disappointed look that she cast on him. It felt as though he had been punched in the chest. When Amos pushed open the door, he saw that Eudora's eyes were tinted red. She stood in front of the prepared equipment, sparing him a blank look. Amos' heart thundered. He rushed over and pulled
When Eudora heard his words, she rolled her eyes at Harley. "What's the matter with you? Aren't you wooing Thea? Why are you still thinking of other women?" Harley chuckled a little in embarrassment. Amos, who was next to Eudora, glanced at Harley coldly, "What are you laughing about?" Harley was stunned by his fierce tone. "Hey, don't overreact, okay? I just chuckled to your wife, do you have to be this scary?" Eudora smiled at Amos. She could tell that he was being protective of her. "Forget about the ladies! I'll treat you guys to a meal, how about that?" "Not coming!" Harley yelled in defiance. "Well, it's up to you then! When the time comes, I'll invite Thea as well..." After that, she instantly let out a yawn. She felt really sleepy. Amos took notice and told Clint to drive more carefully. Harley looked at Eudora, who was leaning into Amos's arms, begrudgingly and said, "Amos, aren't you being a bit ov
Amos stared at Harley's back and pursed his lips up bitterly. Behind him came Eudora's voice. "Amos, open wide..." Amos didn't know when Eudora had come over but she was trying to feed him some cake. Amos shook his head, "No thank you, I don't want it. You should have more!" "No, you really should try it. It's really sweet!" Amos complied eventually. He opened his mouth and took a bite, Eudora's anticipatory eyes never straying from him, "So? Is it sweet?" Amos nodded, "It really is!" "I told you!" Right after she said that she ran someplace else. Once she left, Amos finally forced himself to swallow the durian cake in his mouth and breathed a sigh of relief. Everything would be fine as long as she was happy. ...... Eudora seemed to have a strong reaction during this pregnancy. She was fine a while ago, but after eating, she rushed into the bathroom and vomited everything out. Amos stood outside and heard the sound of
Christopher shouldn't be blamed for having such an idea. The situation before him was too unrealistic and out of the blue like a fantasy story. How would the public think of a cold and aloof man like Amos? They probably perceived him as a decisive and ruthless man, and perhaps also a man without much emotions and affection! Yet, at this moment, he was holding a notebook piously and sitting in front of him, asking about the symptoms of Eudora's pregnancy. Christopher's first reaction was to doubt his own eyes! Was he hallucinating? However, Amos' eyes told him that it was true. Christopher could tell that he was very serious and focused! Christopher relaxed his knitted eyebrows and spoke again. "Why are you asking me this?" If Amos was telling the truth, was he doing this to get even with him then? Christopher couldn't help but think this way! "Because you were with her at that time." Christopher took a gasp secretly. Amos was a vind
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
