"A dead end lies ahead, but hope is just around the corner!" After Eudora finished speaking, Christopher was stunned, "Do you mean that...You had already planned for this?" She did not answer. Instead, she turned to look in Tina's direction. "How are you and Tina doing?" Christopher saw that she was confident, so he stopped dwelling on the matter. However, upon the mention of Tina, he could not help but feel somewhat frustrated. "Tina is doing well, it's just that she still refuses to give up on the idea of curing my supposed 'troubles'." Eudora pursed her lips and asked, "Do you feel annoyed with her?" He paused for a moment and responded, "Occasionally! A human's temper will also turn bad sometimes." "However, I'm very envious of you two," Eudora replied. "Hmm?" Christopher turned to her. Eudora replied with a faint smile, "If only Amos were still here! Even if he were to be angry with me every single day, it would still be
The next morning, when Eudora had returned with the children after picking mushrooms in the mountains, she saw Charlie standing with an old man at the door. "Mrs. Granger, Chef Uriah Fisher was adamant on seeing you, so I brought him here!" Only then did she turn to look at Uriah. Previously, she had heard of his name from Amos. She had been pregnant back then, and was very picky with food. It was also back then when Amos had started picking up culinary skills. Only later on did she find out that it was Uriah who had taught Amos how to cook. Eudora quickly beckoned to the two children behind her, "Come, greet Uncle Uriah." Juju greeted him sweetly, "Hello, Uncle Uriah." Sugar Bun followed suit in an incoherent mutter. Uriah reached out to pat Sugar Bun on his head, praising him, "Very good." After they entered the house, Charlie led the two kids away to read. Uriah sat down and took a look around the house. "It's quiet here, a
Sebastian was furious, but continued to bark orders anyway. "Even if there's no one there, seal off the place!" "Yes, sir!" After they left, Sebastian spat in spite, "Don't let me get a hold of this woman next time, otherwise just watch how I'll deal with her!" "Alright, why worry about her? She's a widow; bringing her kids out for a vacation is a good idea too, since it saves us the pain of having an eyesore around..." Sebastian and his father burst out in laughter upon agreement. Of course, their conversation very quickly reached Eudora's ears. She did not say a word, but continued to play with the kids. Tina ran in from outside, exclaiming, "Eudora, let's go hiking this afternoon! I saw a gorgeous-looking mountain in front, just nice for an adventure!" Eudora glanced at the two children. Juju was very excited. Juju was very excited, "Mom, let's go! I want to go hiking." Then, she looked at Sugar Bun. He had learnt how
When Eudora heard this, she turned around to look at Tina suspiciously. "What's wrong? Did something happen? Was Christopher's health report bad? Let me take a look!" Tina frantically put her hands behind her and replied, "No, no. I'm just...a little scared! I'm worried that something bad will happen to Christopher." Tina had never been a particularly strong girl and she had always been soft-hearted. She had been pampered by Tyler growing up, so she was a little timid. Eudora shook her head, "It's not that I don't want to stay here with you, it's just that it's inconvenient having to bring the kids along. It'll also affect Christopher's recovery." Tina nodded, and then smiled again. She then smiled again, "Eudora, I was just kidding! I'm okay, you go ahead!" Eudora looked at her warily and asked, "Are you really alright?" "It's really nothing, it was just a joke." "Then, I'm going back. I've asked Charlie and the rest to stay behind
That night, Tina did not return to the ward. She followed the nurse to every other ward for an entire night to learn how to take care of patients. When Christopher woke up the next day, he saw a glass of warm water on his bedside table. "I'll help you wash up first, then you can drink this glass of warm water." Christopher looked at Tina curiously, just to see her walking away swiftly, then only did he mumble a response. Once that was done, she went to get him breakfast. "I bought these from the Vigilant Vegan Restaurant; here's your favourite red bean porridge, and there's tofu jelly. Have a taste." Christopher frowned and asked, "Vigilant Vegan Restaurant is so far from here. When did you go there?" "It didn't take too long, I just took a cab!" He didn't believe her. Looking up, he saw the dark circles around her eyes, and his brows instantly furrowed. "Did you not rest last night? And where did you learn all these things from?"
Although Christopher had already recovered, it was still not very convenient for him to move around. Tina had prepared a wheelchair for him, so when Eudora heard Tina's request for her to take care of Christopher, she had assumed that it was to watch over him so that nothing would happen. "Alright!" She nodded. The light in Tina's eyes dimmed, but soon after, her lips curled into a smile. "Great! Thank you, Eudora." After Tina left, Christopher recalled someone talking about the Valiant East Catering in the hospital. So, he curiously asked Eudora, "I heard some people saying that the Valiant East Catering is facing some problems, that the food's taste has changed and become unappetizing. Do you want to go and take a look at what's happened?" She remained calm as she answered, "Cooking is just like being a person; it has to stay true to its original essence. If the person cooking it has changed, can they still produce the same dish?" Chris
They were at Valiant East Catering. Sebastian stood there, looking at Uriah in anger. "Where's the secret ingredient?" Uriah shook his head as he replied, "We've finished using it!" "If it's finished, then formulate another one! How would you have a secret ingredient if you don't formulate it?" "There's no formula for us to follow. The recipe used to be delivered by President Granger's people in the past once a month! We've never had it in our possession." "Is that so?" Sebastian was dubious. Nick was curious, "That's not true, isn't it? Haven't I heard that Old Master Granger trusted you a lot? Wouldn't he have directly given you the formula?" Upon hearing this, Uriah, who was calm and composed, suddenly burst out laughing. "Nick, you must be joking. I am but an employee under the Granger family. No matter how trustworthy I may be, that recipe is still a secret, special recipe belonging to the Granger family. How could they give i
Tina nodded, then forced a bitter smile. "Eudora, did you work with him to deceive me?" Eudora shook her head, "Tina, don't get me wrong. Back then, when I had first seen the report, I was worried that you couldn't accept it so I had a discussion with him. I didn't expect him to choose to bear the weight of this issue for you. I..." "It's fine!" Tina shook her head. "Eudora, I won't blame you! It's my own misfortune, and no one is to blame for this." Eudora could sense that she was completely dejected, and had no will to live anymore. "Tina, don't be like this. You've seen that Christopher doesn't care about all those things at all. All you have to do is live your life with him, and nothing else matters!" "Eudora, you don't understand." Tina smiled wryly, "It's exactly because he's too nice to me. That's why I feel even worse. He's such a proud person, but he had to be belittled by Anthony, his own eldest brother. He never had to suffer all tha
