"No, that's not it. I'm just surprised!" Eudora said. "Didn't someone say that he wants to stay a happy bachelor forever? It's so shocking that he became a good man all of a sudden!" Harley sighed, "Didn't I learn this from Amos? I just want to avoid all the possibilities! Didn't you change Amos from a playboy into a good man in an instant back then?" Eudora's curiosity was piqued. She asked, "Did Amos used to be a playboy?" In the next second, Amos glanced at him coldly, asking, "Are you looking for trouble?" When he turned his head and looked at Eudora, his cold gaze seemed to melt, giving way to gentleness. "What playboy? I don't know what you're talking about. You're the only one for me ever since the beginning." Harley looked on in astonishment. No wonder this man was the boss. He really was good at saying the right words! He looked at Amos contemptuously, teasing, "Amos, I'm looking down on you now! Are you that afraid o
Eudora was a little dispirited. She put on her clothes as she couldn't fit into the dress. At this moment, Juju came running into the room. She looked at the box in front of Eudora excitedly. "Mommy, is there anything yummy inside the box?" Eudora flipped through the box and saw that there were indeed a few fruit-flavored candies inside the box. She usually would not allow Juju to eat candy at home as she was worried that it would lead to dental cavities. After all, a healthy set of teeth had always been considered very important to a girl. If Juju's teeth were decayed, it would affect her appearance in the future. However, that didn't seem to be the case for today. It was a wedding candy, and there were only a few in the box, hence, she didn't say much. "Here you go, two candies!" Juju took them happily. There were a few candies left at the bottom of the box. Eudora picked them up and ate them. The candy was slightly tart, which suited
Helen found a seat in the corridor and sat down. She was almost 26 years old and she had been pursued by countless men after graduating from medical school years ago. However, no man who could ever make her fall head over heels. There was a man who caught her attention during her internship. His name was Simon and they were from the same school. They got to know each other better after being posted to the same hospital. On normal days, they would often interact with each other for work. Soon, it escalated to them having lunch together. During festivals and holidays, they would give each other gifts. When they had nothing to do, they would also go to the movies together. At that time, she thought that they were dating. Until one day, she saw Simon together with the hospital dean's daughter, Mathilda. She saw him brushing Mathilda's hair behind her ear gently and complimenting that her dress was particularly stunning that day. It was at tha
Harley was taking care of his newly-wedded wife attentively at home. They were both having an intimate moment when Amos called. When Harley heard what Amos said, he was scared out of his wits. "What did you say? Thea, are you feeling alright?" Harley asked in a panic. Thea was confused by his question, "I am totally fine!" "What about the baby then?" "The baby seems to be fine too..." Amos' heart wrenched, "Eudora was poisoned! I'll give you thirty minutes to find out who had poisoned her at your banquet!" "What the f*ck!" Harley stood up from his seat, "Which f*cker is this? How dare he harm Eudora? I'll look into it right away! Is Eudora alright?" Amos had already hung up the phone. He was annoyed. He felt an urge to pick up a cigarette and light it up. However, he stopped when he remembered that he was at a hospital. He took some time to compose himself before walking back to the ward. "I'm sorry, Doctor Leon," Amos a
It seemed that even Eudora herself had realized it. She then loosened her grip slightly. "I'm sorry, I'm just too anxious!" Amos merely shook his head and replied with a forced smile. "I'm the one to be blamed." He looked really upset. Eudora paused for a moment and said, "Why don't you come over and touch him? He just moved." Amos did not move, but Eudora took the initiative to reach out, pull his hand and place it on her belly. The next second, the little guy in her belly seemed to be responding to the touch. It kicked towards Amos' palm. "It's moving!" Eudora said with a smile on her face. Amos nodded and replied, "Ah!" He wanted to be happy, but with the thought of Eudora's imminent suffering in his mind, he really couldn't force a smile. ...... Harley rushed over later in the evening. Thea came along with him too as she was worried about Eudora. After all, they were both expectant mothers, hence she could unde
Thea caught Helen's attention and said, "Let's go!" Helen nodded and looked at Eudora enviously. Indeed, both of them only had eyes for each other. They did not seem to notice their presence in the room at all. Eudora checked on Amos and scanned her surroundings. She pondered for a while and silently sucked his fingers. Amos was stunned and he shouted, "My hands are dirty!" "I heard that saliva could act as a disinfectant. Let me disinfect it for you..." Amos squinted his eyebrows and caressed her pale cheek with his other hand. "Eudora, maybe..." As if she knew what he was going to say, Eudora immediately shook her head and replied, "Don't say it! Sugar Bun can move now. Don't say such things in front of him. He'll be sad if it hears it!" She let go of Amos' hand and lowered her head to caress her tummy. "Sugar Bun, did you hear? Mommy had accidentally bitten Daddy's fingers just now. Daddy loves us very much, so we should also lov
When Eudora woke up the next morning, she felt her belly being carefully embraced in someone's arms before she could even open her eyes. She opened her eyes instantly and saw that Amos was sleeping soundly beside her. Eudora was stunned. Didn't he say he couldn't sleep with her last night because the bed was too small? "Good morning!" Amos opened his eyes and greeted. Seeing that Eudora was confused, he proceeded to explain, "I asked the nurse to change to a bigger bed last night." Eudora scanned the bed carefully. It really seemed that the bed had been changed to a bigger one... At this moment, a nurse came by and said politely, "Miss George, please allow me to take your body temperature reading." Amos went to the washroom to wash up. After he left, the nurse looked at Eudora enviously and praised, "Miss George, you're so blessed. I've never stumbled upon a family member who requested a change of a bigger bed in the VIP ward!" Eudora was spee
On the third day, Doctor Chilton and others increased the dosage for the medicine again. At that point, Eudora started to realize that something was off. Although the doctor had already explained to her that she just needed more rest to speed up the recovery, it was impossible for Eudora to not notice anything at all. After all, it was her own body. At this moment, Amos reached out and patted the top of her head. "Are you still sleepy?" Eudora shook her head and answered, "I've slept well!" However, as soon as she finished speaking, she gave a big yawn. Thinking about what Doctor Chilton had said earlier, Amos caressed her cheek with his hand and asked, "Remember the delicious beef stew you mentioned the last time? Cindy has already brought it here. Would you like to have some?" Eudora nodded. She tried to regain her energy and replied, "Okay! I'd love to have some." As expected, Cindy entered the ward as soon as Amos had finished speaking.
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
