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
Eudora picked up the envelope. It had indeed been left behind by Tina. "I'm leaving! Eudora, I'm sorry! You don't need to search for me, because I won't let any of you find me. I entrust Christopher into your hands now, I wish the both of you happiness!" Eudora's hands were trembling, "Tina, this idiot!" Christopher was confused, "What's the matter? What happened to Tina?" "She knows about her not being able to have children!" "What?" Christopher was stunned. "Did she find out back in the hospital? No wonder she's been acting so weird recently! Where did she go? I'll go and find her!" Eudora shook her head as she replied, "I don't know. She didn't say anything." Christopher snatched the letter from Eudora's hand. He read it, and his expression instantly froze. "Tina! Am I this kind of person in your heart?" Eudora frowned as she said, "There's no time to think about this. I'll ask Charlie to dispatch people to help search for her. M
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
