Chapter 1008: Chapter 1008 Choosing Your Own Path

Eudora quickly shook her head and said, “That’s not what I meant, Amos. Don’t think that way.”

Amos gave a wry smile.

“Forget it, you don’t need to say anything more. I won’t force you to trust me. Let it be!”

After that, he took a step forward abruptly .

The strange thing was that there had initially been a fence in front of them. To Eudora’s consternation, it disappeared the moment Amos stepped out.

Eudora watched helplessly as Amos’s body fell from the hospital building.

Her heart in her mouth, she rushed forward, trying to catch him.

“Amos!”

She was petrified at the thought of losing Amos. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and her surroundings had changed. Currently, she was in the ward.

With lingering fear in her heart, she got out of bed without hesitation. She ran out of the ward without even putting on her shoes.

Just as she was about to open the door, she bumped into a familiar embrace.

When Amos saw Eudora, he hurriedly held her in his arms.

“What’s wrong?”

His gentle tone and concerned expression warmed Eudora’s heart.  She hugged him tightly and said, “It’s not like that. Of course, you’re the most important person in my life!”

Amos was startled and lowered his head to look at the adorable woman in his embrace.

After a while, his mouth curved into a smile.

What a sudden confession of love!

It dispelled his dejection in an instant. He lowered his head and pressed her head against his.

“Little cutie, were you dreaming?”

Eudora was baffled. It was not until she thought for a while that she realized it had really been a dream despite being deceptively real. Although she had come to her senses, the memory of it still troubled her.

“I dreamed about you jumping off from this floor! It scared the wits out of me!”

Amos laughed, “How could that happen? I wouldn’t do that to you. What’s more, a world with you is such a beautiful place, so I wouldn’t want to part with you.”

He took out a box from his other hand and placed it in front of Eudora as if he was performing a magic trick.

“You didn’t have the soup prepared by Uriah, so I went out to buy your favorite strawberry cake. It looks great, doesn’t it?”

As he spoke, he wrapped his arm around Eudora’s waist and led her to the table.

Putting the box on the table, he unpacked it meticulously .

“The strawberries are fresh. They’ve just been picked this morning. I told them to use the best ones when baking the cake. Have a try!”

Seeing his efforts, Eudora felt a lump in her throat.

She began to reflect on her attitude. Consequently, she knew she had acted unreasonably. Amos was angry with Naomi because of her. As a mother, she had only thought of her daughter. However, she should have put herself into Amos’s shoes.

“I’m sorry. Naomi…”

Amos shook his head and said, “It’s okay. Naomi, come in!”

Eudora was stunned as she said, “You…”

Amos sighed. Exasperated, he replied, “I’ll listen to you!”

Eudora was moved, and she couldn’t help but plant a kiss on Amos’s cheek.

…

Naomi and Nelson had stood outside the ward for a long time. Upon being summoned by Amos, Naomi was thrilled that he had finally allowed them to go in. The first scene that she saw after opening the door of the ward was her parents exchanging a kiss.

Nelson turned his head to the side in embarrassment whereas Naomi, who had long grown accustomed to her parents’ mannerisms, walked straight in.

“Mom…”

Eudora sized Naomi up carefully to confirm that she was healthy and uninjured. Only then did Eudora spoke.

Only then did Eudora speak, “Have a taste of the cake that Amos bought.”

Naomi shook her head and said, “Mom, you can have it!”

Eudora nodded. She then cast a glance at Nelson, who was still standing outside with bandages on his body.

She wanted to ask about his condition, but she decided to give up on the notion when she thought of Amos.

As Eudora was peeking at Amos, he caught sight of her actions and sighed at once. Then he said, “Nelson’s there too? Come in!”

Nelson was dumbstruck for a moment. He exchanged a look with Naomi. After pausing for a few seconds, he walked in.

“Mr. Granger, Mrs. Granger, I’m…”

Looking at Eudora’s expression, who seemed perturbed about his injuries, he hurriedly explained, “It just looks a little scary. The nurse has already treated my wounds, and there’s no big problem.”

Eudora replied, “Then, go back and have a rest!”

Nelson nodded. Seeing that Naomi didn’t seem to have any intention of mentioning their relationship, he roughly reckoned that the Granger family would talk about some matters of their own. Therefore, he turned around and got ready to leave.

To his surprise, Naomi stretched out her hand to stop him.

“Wait a minute.”

He stopped in his tracks. Eudora thought that Naomi was going to bring up the subject of her being together with Nelson, hence her heart skipped a beat.

Amos had just been infuriated by their relationship just a while ago. If Naomi brought up this topic at the moment, it was likely that Amos would fly into a rage.

Then, the consequences would be unimaginable.

She was about to stop Naomi when she heard Naomi’s voice.

“Dad, I’m sorry. I’ll listen to you in the future!”

Unexpectedly, she didn’t mention anything about staying together with Nelson. Eudora looked towards Nelson. Naomi’s words had filled him with astonishment then disappointment.

“I’m sorry, Nelson. My parents are the most important people to me. You didn’t do anything wrong in this matter, it’s all my fault, I’m so sorry. Let’s break up!”

“Naomi…” Nelson opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he only gave a soft answer.

“Okay!”

Amos was taken aback by his reply. He didn’t speak until Nelson was about to turn around and leave.

“Don’t you have anything to say?”

Nelson shook his head and said, “There’s no need for that!”

Amos was curious so he asked, “Why? The people around me have told me that you really love my daughter very much. I also felt that you weren’t putting on an act. Then, why have you chosen to give up at this time? Perhaps I’ve already been touched by your actions?”

Amos’s words offered him a glimmer of hope, but soon after, he gave in.

“I respect Naomi’s choice. I’ve been separated from my parents since I was young, thus I’m aware of how valuable kinship is. Naomi is excellent, thus you must have put in a lot of effort into raising her. I don’t want to tear a blissful family apart, and I don’t want her to have any regrets in her life later. So, I am willing to do as she wishes.”

After saying that, he bowed solemnly to Amos and Eudora.

“Thank you for your care. From now on, I won’t bother you!”

Eudora was quite moved. Although the incident had been dangerous, she had noticed that Nelson’s feelings for Naomi were sincere.

However, she had to care for Amos’s feelings.

As she was thinking about that, Amos had held her hand and looked at Naomi.

“Your mother has not been in good health recently. I intend to take her to a resort to take a good rest for some time. As for your affairs, you two can decide on them on your own!”

After that, he waved his hand.

“You can go out now!”

Naomi was taken aback. She asked in surprise, “Dad, what do you mean by that?”

Eudora was also astounded for a moment, and then she reminded them right away in a low voice, “Your father said that he won’t interfere between the two of you anymore.”

“Dad, is that true?” Naomi said excitedly.

Amos frowned as he said, “I’m letting you decide on your own because I respect you. Moreover, I don’t want to be framed for breaking up a couple when I get old. However, remember that no matter whether you’ll be blissful or miserable in the future, you have to bear the circumstances yourself since you’ve chosen your own path! Remember that!”
