Leon answered Eudoraâs question with a dignified expression.
âTo be honest, your health isnât in good condition.â
Eudoraâs heart skipped a beat. She asked anxiously, âWhat do you mean?â
Leon pursed his lips and explained, âYouâve sustained many injuries before. I can see that you have been taking good care of yourself these years.â
âNevertheless, you might find that youâre unable to do things as well as you wish because of your age. Have you been stressed lately? Your heart doesnât seem to be in good condition either. Although it wonât cause you too many problems for the time being, I suggest you go to the hospital as soon as possible!â
Eudora asked, âThen, will any other problems surface for the time being?â
âThat shouldnât be the case, but you should pay attention to your own mental state as well.â
Eudora nodded and said, âAlright!â
She didnât want to leave this world yet as she still had her lover and children.
âIâll pay attention to it!â
As they were talking, Amos happened to come down from upstairs.
While he was still on the stairs, he had already begun to ask, âDoctor Leon, how is her condition?â
Eudora instantly shook her head at Doctor Leon and said softly, âDonât tell him!â
The Granger family had to deal with many matters recently. Although Amos didnât complain about it, Eudora knew that things had been hard on him. Otherwise, he would wake up earlier.
It was currently a hard time for him.
Eudoraâs words made Doctor Leon hesitate.
Eudora continued to coax him into concealing it by saying, âIâll go to the hospital later. Donât say anything first!â
Leon nodded and said, âNothing, itâs no big deal. Itâs just that she hasnât been sleeping well enough recently. She should rest more.â
Amos breathed a sigh of relief and said, âOkay!â Then, he turned to look at Eudora and said, âIndeed, you lack sleep. The dark circles under your eyes make you look like a panda.â
Leonâs grandson, Bowie, also laughed and imitated Amos.
âPanda! Panda!â
Eudora became bashful and said, âHey, donât embarrass me in front of a child!â
Seeing that they still deeply loved each other after being married for so many years, Leon couldnât help feeling happy for them.
âWell, you two can have your own sweet time. Iâll take my grandson back first!â
Eudora hurriedly said, âHave a meal here before you leave!â
âThereâs no need for that. Iâm fed up with your PDA.â
Eudora was speechless.
She had thought that Doctor Leon was a stuffy old man. As a matter of fact, his mindset was quite modern, considering his age.
Amos was confused. It was not until Doctor Leon had left that he asked Eudora curiously, âWhatâs PDA?â
Eudora was dumbstruck by his question.
âI know that you didnât browse the Internet that much in the past, but havenât you been on the phone a lot recently? How can you not know about PDA?â
Amos gave a sheepish grin and said, âI only look at your posts and status. How will I know Internet slang?â
Eudora was touched at the moment, yet felt a bit exasperated.
âOkay, let me tell you, PDA, or Public Displays of Affection, is the term used to describe the affectionate actions between a couple in a public setting. By the way, those who witness it will usually complain that they canât stand it.â
Amos nodded and said, âIf so, donât we do that every day at home?â
Cindy, who had just come in from outside, burst into laughter when she heard their conversation.
âMr. Granger, have you just realized?â
Amos coughed slightly and turned to look at Cindy before saying, âAhem, Cindy, it seems like you can stand our PDA without a problem. Very well then, weâll continue to do it in the future.â
After that, he stretched out his hands to carry Eudora in his arms again.
âYou woke up too early this morning. Letâs go upstairs to rest.â
Cindy was at a loss for words.
â¦
Eudora wanted to hide the truth about her health from Amos, therefore she just allowed him to carry her up the stairs without saying anything.
She indeed had not slept well the previous night. After going up, she was forced by Amos to lay down and sleep for a while.
By the time she woke up again, an hour had passed. Eudora went downstairs and spotted Cindy, who was about to go out.
She stopped her and asked, âAre you going to the supermarket?â
Cindy nodded and told her, âYes! What do you want to eat, Madam? Iâll buy it.â
âIâm not sure. Nothingâs really coming to mind,â said Eudora, shaking her head. After that, she looked at the sunlight outside, and came up with an idea.
âIâll go with you!â
She hadnât gone out for a long time.
Coincidentally, Amos and Naomi were not at home that day, hence she could allocate her time freely.
Cindy replied with a smile, âSure!â
The nearest supermarket was not within their walking distance. Thus, Cindy drove a car and took Eudora out.
Eudora looked at Cindyâs abdomen and said, âNow that youâve got married, you should consider having a baby, shouldnât you?â
Cindy, who was eight or nine years younger than Eudora, was now in her prime of life.
Cindy blushed upon hearing that.
âCharlie and I are not in a hurry. He has a lot of work to do daily whereas Iâm busy taking care of you guys too. Maybe weâll consider it after two years!â
Eudora disagreed with that and said, âWhat are you waiting for? Work is indeed important, but your own life is as well. No matter how excellent you perform in your job, you will only live once. Time never waits for anyone, so you have to grab the chance to do it before youâre too old for it!â
Cindy looked at Eudora with bewilderment and said, âMadam, youâre right, but whatâs the matter with you today? You sound quite emotional.â
Eudora was stunned for a moment before coming back to her senses.
She had probably become sentimental because Leon had told her in the morning that her health was not good.
To her surprise, Cindy had managed to notice her strange behavior.
âItâs nothing, I just suddenly thought of that logic. In short, if you are willing to go for it, then do it as soon as possible. Donât delay it for work. If you two donât want to have any children, thatâs fine with me. Thatâs up to you. Iâm just giving my advice that your private life should take precedence over any other aspect.â
Cindy nodded and replied, âOkay!â
After arriving at the supermarket, Cindy went to buy the raw ingredients.
Eudora walked around the market and saw a few ornaments, so she bought some.
It seemed that she had not decorated their house in a long time.
When they were ready to go back, Eudora shouted out of the blue, âStop the car!â
Then, she got out of the car anxiously and stopped in front of a pet stall.
Cindy parked the car, and caught up with her, shouting, âMadam!â
âCindy, look at this puppy. Doesnât it look like Cola?â
Cindy had seen Cola before. Back in the day, Cola was a dog raised by Eudora and Amos. Sadly, it died many years ago since a dogâs lifespan was not as long as that of a human.
Due to Colaâs passing, Eudora had never raised another dog ever since then.
Unexpectedly, she saw a puppy which resembled Cola on that day.
Cindy said, âIt looks similar to Cola indeed!â
âI think so too. Why donât we bring it home?â
Eudora always felt that there was something missing in her home. She thought that raising a puppy was a good idea to make her home more lively.
Cindy had no objection, instead quite pleased to see that Eudora was willing to raise another dog as it indicated that she had got over the sadness about Colaâs death.
After checking the bill, they took the puppy to undergo a check-up. It was given a vaccine and a bath before they brought it back.
Eudora put on some clothes for it and looked at it satisfyingly.
Seeing that she was thrilled, Cindy had a question.
She asked, âHow about giving it a name?â
âCola! Letâs call it Cola!â Eudora said with a beam. The dog in front of her really reminded her of the time when she had first met Amos when she was young.
