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
...... Kesha realized that no one had noticed her act of poisoning after staying low at home for the past few days. Hence, she became even bolder. However, she still proceeded to discuss with Steven about the matter just in case. What she didn't expect was that Steven was not fully aware of her actions. However, didn't this mean that not only was she able to get rid of Eudora, but she was also able to get herself out of this? At this moment, an assistant came into the office and reported to Steven, "President Steven, President Granger of the Valiant East has come over with his people. He said that he wanted to inspect the amusement park facilities in preparation for the opening in three days." Steven muttered unhappily, "How long is it going to take to prepare this d*mned amusement park?" Although he was reluctant in doing so, in truth, he did not dare to not show up. This was because Amos had come over personally. Steven wouldn't dare to oppo
It was a real gun! Kesha was so frightened and dared not make a single move. Instead, she stared at the gun blankly. She swallowed her saliva nervously and stammered, "What... what do you want?" Amos ignored her pleas. He raised his eyes and looked at the Ferris wheel as it descended. He ordered coldly, "Smile!" Kesha didn't understand and she asked, "Why?" However, Amos couldn't be bothered to explain it to her. He placed his finger on the trigger and repeated, "Smile!" ...... Meanwhile, Clint had already gone to Steven's office after Kesha boarded the Ferris wheel. Little did he know, Steven was sleeping soundly in his office. He was caught by Clint and he immediately stood up as he explained. "Assistant Zuckerberg, don't get me wrong. I'm just a little tired as I've been busy with the opening of the amusement park for the past few days. I was taking a break. I didn't mean to not meet my brother on purpose!" Clint understood
For a brief moment, Kesha didn't understand what he was saying. She didn't come to her senses until Steven pressed her down on the desk. Her whole body was already in pain as she had just been scalded by hot water. However, Steven didn't show any signs of mercy at all. He then proceeded to rip off her clothes. It was extremely painful for her as many parts of her body were already scalded. Tears streamed down from the corners of her eyes as she desperately begged for mercy. "Steven, please don't do this. It hurts!" She really was in pain. Although the water in the bathroom was only 70 degrees at most, she would have at least suffered a second-degree burn! At that moment, Steven was so frustrated that he didn't care about her cries for mercy. After tearing off Kesha's clothes relentlessly, he pinned her down to the table. Kesha gasped in pain as her scalded back was forcefully and directly laid against the hard table. She immediatel
Although Eudora had never liked Felicia, she knew that Felicia had always treated Gordon very well. Besides, it was quite a serious matter for one to have fallen down the stairs. Eudora got up from the bed upon hearing the news. "Let's go and visit her! I'm not very sleepy anyway!" After all, she was no longer drowsy and light-headed since she took Doctor Chilton's strange medicine. Amos nodded in agreement. He went downstairs and immediately started the car. Half an hour later, Amos and Eudora arrived at the hospital. Gordon was sitting alone at the entrance of the operating room. His hair was totally grey as he looked at the emergency room nervously. At that moment, Eudora suddenly felt that Gordon was no longer the man he once was, the person who could shelter his children from all the obstacles they faced. He was getting old. He started to become reliant on others and crave stability in life. That was probably the reason why he had ca
Clint then went to find ways to retrieve the surveillance video of the entrance of the residential area where Gordon and Felicia lived. Sure enough, Kesha had returned on the day of Felicia's accident. However, the residential area was relatively old. The surveillance cameras in many other areas were faulty, except for the surveillance footage that he had retrieved. Therefore, no other conclusion was made in the end. However, Amos became even more uneasy because of this. He immediately ordered Clint to find Kesha as soon as possible. At the same time, Steven was also looking for Kesha. After checking on the technical issues with the Ferris wheel, he returned to his office, only to realize that Kesha was missing. A deep sense of rage burned within his heart at the thought of Kesha leaving him for another man. He made his way to Kesha's rented apartment and kicked its door open. Kesha had rented this place and stayed here ever since t
Eudora's voice trembled as she continued to sob. It sounded particularly heart-wrenching in the night. Amos kissed her tears away hurriedly and looked at her nervously. "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Amos' voice seemed to calm Eudora's uncontrollable emotions instantly. She must have snapped! How could she suddenly say such things to Amos? Amos would definitely become suspicious by now. Eudora thought about this and nodded in agreement, "Yes. I had a terrible nightmare!" Sure enough, when he saw Eudora's reddened eyes, he patted her on the back as his heart ached for her. "What kind of nightmare was it? Tell me! People say that if you share your nightmare with others, it won't be that horrifying anymore!" Eudora knew that he was just deceiving her, but she still said it out. "I dreamed that I was dead!" She could clearly feel the man beside her trembling. In an instant, he held her tightly in his arms.
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
