The first few were calls from Thea, but the ones after were all from Eudora. And Eudora's last voicemail roared angrily, "Your wife is about to give birth..." Harley was shocked. He couldn't wait any longer and rushed into his supervisor's office to ask for leave. Moments later, he dashed out of the police station. The apartment was not far from his workplace. When he rushed to the lobby, he saw Eudora standing on the side of the road with Thea in her arms. Despite her thin figure, Eudora was holding Thea in her arms while carrying a big maternity pack behind her. Harley was stunned. He ran over to Thea instantaneously. "Thea..." Thea was already scared out of her wits. It was her first time giving birth, and she was extremely nervous. In addition to that, she couldn't get through to her husband during such a critical moment. Harley reached out his hand to take over Thea and smoothed out her hair that had been stuck on her forehead
Not long after Harley left, a child's cry came from the delivery room. It was a boy, and his voice was loud and clear. The nurse took the child out to greet his father, only to find that he had already left. Eudora stepped forward and took the child from the nurse. "Let me see!" After a while, Thea was pushed out from the delivery room. At first glance, she subconsciously looked for Harley, but in the end, she was disappointed. Eudora opened her mouth. What she had agreed on with Harley must be kept secret from anyone, so she stated vaguely, "Harley has something to do, so he asked me to take care of you. He will be back soon." Thea smiled at her. "Thank you." Eudora shook her head. "There's no need for such pleasantries between us." She accompanied the nurse to push Thea into the ward. Thea was too tired after the delivery and fell asleep soon. Eudora, on the other hand, sat by the bed and studied the tiny baby. Such a tiny l
"Isn't it obvious? It's not like Amos would pay money to attack his own reputation like that, right?" Eudora fell silent. After a pause, she murmured, "Do you mean that Charlie actually committed no crime, and that's why he could be bailed?" "I can't confirm that, but I can confirm that we have found no evidence to prove that he did commit the crime!" Eudora frowned. For some reason, she felt a little wronged. "If that's the case, Amos could've told me directly. Why didn't he say anything when I went to him? And he didn't even react when I told him that I might file a lawsuit?" Harley held his forehead. "That's because Charlie had fallen ill! It's very serious. You know how Amos is, he values friendship the most. He would rather suffer himself to protect the people around him." "What illness?" Eudora blurted out. "I'm not too sure about this. All I know is that it's a very serious illness." They fell silent again. After a while, Har
At around nine o'clock in the morning, Fabian's car was ready to leave from the Nolan family's villa. Before he left, Malcom smiled and reminded him, "You little brat, you must bring Eudora back for me. Otherwise, don't come back ever again!" Fabian couldn't help but laugh. "Are you really my father? I'm not adopted, right?" "Don't talk gibberish with me!" Malcom said that and then pushed Fabian into the car. As the car sped far away, Malcom looked into the sky. "Tyler, our two families have finally become in-laws. It'd be great if you're still around! This way, I wouldn't have to let you win in chess anymore!" ...... On the way, Fabian straightened his necktie many times and asked his assistant. "This should be fine, right?" The assistant nodded. "Yes, Mr. Nolan. No matter how you dress, you look handsome!" However, Fabian was still not satisfied. "Is the colour of this tie good? What about the others?" The assistant was spee
By the time Eudora and the others reached the wedding venue, all the guests had already arrived. Because of the delay at the Holt family Villa, they arrived just in time for the ceremony. Eudora had just got out of the car when she was asked to walk on the red carpet. The sound of the wedding march played in Eudora's ears, but there was a dead silence in her heart. ...... Not far away, Amos was standing in a corner and looking at the scene in front of him. There was tenderness in his eyes. Eudora looked really beautiful in a wedding dress, but she was not wearing the wedding dress that he had prepared for her. Seeing that they were about to reach the priest, Clint asked in a low voice. "Sir, everything is ready!" Amos raised his finger. Just as he was about to make a move, he saw a sudden riot in front of him. Someone took the lead and rushed into the church. The person was rushing towards Fabian. "You've killed my family. I'm
Ignoring the wedding dress on her body, Eudora rushed up to Amos and grabbed his arm. "Why are you so silly?" Amos shook his head. "As long as you're all right!" Then, he closed his eyes in a trance. The man had stabbed on Amos' vital part. Blood gushed out from the stab wound nonstop. "Amos!" Eudora screamed. Outside, the sound of the police siren was getting closer. Fabian grabbed Eudora. "Follow me!" Eudora pulled on Amos desperately. "Let go of me, I won't go with you!" "You're my woman, you must leave with me!" After saying that, Fabian raised his hand and hit the back of Eudora's neck. Her vision suddenly went black, and Eudora fell unconscious. ...... When she woke up again, Eudora realized that she had once again been placed in a dark place. However, even though it was dark, the surroundings felt a bit familiar. It seemed like the place where she had been kidnapped by those two men the last time. She had been foo
Fabian noticed that Eudora was trying to look for something, and their eyes soon met. He smiled as he strode over. "Are you hungry?" Eudora didn't say a word, but Fabian had already taken a new spoon and scooped up a spoonful of the soup. He then brought it to her mouth. Eudora took a deep breath. It was not the time to be angry, and she needed to eat something. "Open your mouth!" Fabian said. Eudora opened her mouth obediently and ate it. Fabian was thrilled and he smiled. "Good girl! Let's have another bite." Eudora remained silent. Fabian's mood seemed to have grown better after half of the soup was gone. Looking at Eudora, he suddenly said in a low voice. "Eudora, don't you feel happy right now?" She paused before looking up at him. He was smiling happily. "I feel so happy! Just the two of us sitting like this, and me feeding you!" Eudora sneered. "Will you feel happy if you're tied up?" "Isn't that because you
In the ward, Amos was lying on the bed, still asleep. Clint brought Eudora to the bedside and said, "Miss George, President Granger hasn't woken up yet." Eudora nodded. "I see, you should head back to work. I'll accompany him for a while." Clint hummed and was prepared to leave. However, he stopped again after a few steps. Something seemed off. However, Eudora had already called out to him. "Hm? Is there anything else?" Clint couldn't think of any reason for him to stop, so he shook his head and replied, "It's alright!" Eudora walked to the bed and looked at Amos after Clint left. She finally said after a long pause, "You did not expect this, did you? I'm back again!" Amos' eyelashes fluttered. Eudora paused and then panicked. "Amos, are you awake?" Amos stared at the woman in front of him blankly. He struggled to sit up, and he took her into his arms. "Eudora! Are you alright?" Eudora shook her head. "Yeah, I'm fine. Do
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
