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.
Amos had already gone over to the office as Karen seemed to have some serious and urgent matters to speak to him. Karen stormed at him furiously upon his arrival. "When you were away, Mr. Hamilton came to the construction site constantly to give us unnecessary work. Do you see all those useless materials at the front? They were all brought in by him!" Amos frowned and took a deep breath. He did not see the need to come all the way here for such a trivial matter. He was so close to losing his temper. However, he recalled what Eudora said the other day. She told him not to lose his temper all the time. He had to keep his promise, hence, he gradually calmed himself down. He looked at the scraps of metal and asked, "Did he say what they were for?" "He did! He said that they're for us! But I've checked, not only would we not be able to build a house on our construction site now, but we also need to fill the swamp in the future. Besides, even if we could b
Eudora woke up early in the morning the next day and made a fuss about wanting to eat some special pancakes from a specific shop in the city. Since Eudora had rarely craved for anything, Amos would never turn down her requests. Therefore, he quickly drove over to the designated shop early in the morning As soon as Amos left the ward, Eudora got up and quickly went to Doctor Chilton's office. "Doctor Chilton, may I know the probability of success if I insist on keeping this child?" Eudora asked as she held her belly and stood in front of Doctor Chilton's desk. Doctor Chilton responded with a sigh, "Your life is already at stake. Are you sure that you still want to keep the child?" "That's not what I meant!" Eudora shook her head. She continued, "What I mean is, I want you to keep this child alive, even if it means losing me! What are the chances of success then?" Everyone in the room looked at Eudora in shock. Helen couldn't help but ask, "Are y
Amos's tone sounded as though he was teaching Juju at home. Eudora fell into a dilemma. She didn't want to tell him the truth, but on the other hand, she felt extremely bad for not letting him know. She regretted not knowing Amos earlier. If things had gone the way that Amos had told her, she wouldn't have met and married Felix in the first place. How wonderful would it be if she had been with Amos since the very beginning? At this moment, Amos interrupted her and spoke. "Eudora, I'm sorry. It's not that I don't want Sugar Bun. It's just that you're seriously ill. If you blame me, just say something, anything at all. Just don't leave me like how you did the last time, okay?" Eudora was stunned. Did he already know that she was aware of his intention to terminate her pregnancy? Did he think that that was the reason she had gotten close to him when she was actually planning to leave him? Fortunately, he was still unaware that her condition had actually worse
Eudora smiled at Doctor Chilton. Doctor Chilton couldn't help but be reminded of his youngest daughter, Dulcie, who had passed away due to congenital leukemia. At that time, Dulcie was in the same situation as Eudora when she was fighting against the disease. Although it hurt a lot, she continued to silently bear it in order not to let others worry about her. She still had a smile on her face even on her final days. Tears began to well up in Doctor Chilton's eyes. He knew that Eudora was just trying to convince herself. He had no choice but to compromise. Perhaps she was right. Perhaps he could actually set his mind at ease and research on the new antidote if he didn't have to face Amos every day. He had failed to save Dulcie back then. Therefore, he swore to do his best to stop the tragedy from happening again. He turned around and handed a pill to Eudora. "This is a type of hormonal medicine, which is originally meant for patients to re
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
