Eudora looked at the bearded man in shock. âYou know me?â
Callum smiled and replied, âOf course. Who wouldnât know the lady who captured Mr. Nolanâs heart? No matter what, we have to get to know you!â
Fabian smiled gently as she saw how embarrassed Eudora was.
âOkay, sheâs shy! Stop talking nonsense!â
Callum burst out laughing. âMr. Nolan, you are so caring towards her! Got it, Iâll leave now, alright?â
After Callum left, Waldron came. Compared to Callum, he was much more serious. He greeted Fabian and then said a reminder.
âYou should go back to work after youâre done with your personal affairs. There are a lot of things waiting for you to handle at work!â
Fabian frowned for a moment and then gave a gentle smile, âAlright, understood!â
Eudora scrutinized the man for a while. Clearly, the intellectual Waldron not only despised those crude henchmen, but he was also condescending to Fabian, who had worked hard in the company since he was a young chap!
No wonder families like the Nolan family had difficulties âlaunderingâ their businesses. The pressure they faced from doing so was immense.
Eudora suddenly understood why Fabian showed interest in her immediately the first time they met.
Although the Holt Family was close to the Nolan family, the Holts did not have roots within the mafia. Hence, they would not underestimate the Nolans, given their power.
If the two families joined forces, Fabian might not be facing such difficulty as he was currently.
Eudora suddenly breathed a sigh of relief at the thought of this. What she worried most was to engage in emotional disputes with others. Now, it seemed that she could only ignore them for the benefit of both families!
In the afternoon, Eudora suggested going home.
Fabian had a lot of things to handle, so he didnât stop her.
When she arrived home, Eudora received a call from Tina. âEudora, did you go on vacation two days ago?â
âOh,â Eudora replied, âYes, I went to a resort and stayed there for two days.â
âThen are you alright?â Tina asked anxiously. âAlso, what about Dad? Are you guys all fine?â
The way she spoke piqued Eudoraâs curiosity. âWhatâs wrong?â
âErr⦠Itâs nothing. Just asking! Are all of you really fine?â
Tina said it was nothing but⦠Yet kept on probing?
âIf you wonât tell me, then donât ever call me again!â Eudora threatened.
Tina had only just started enjoying the perks of having a sister. How could she give it up so easily? Hence, she hurriedly rephrased.
âFine, Iâll tell you, okay? Itâs just that⦠President Granger seems to be injured!â
Eudora was stunned. He was still fine when she last saw him that day. Did something happen after she had fallen asleep?
âHow did he get injured?â Eudora asked nervously.
âItâs nothing serious. His forehead was scratched by a tree branch. Clint and Doctor Leon said President Granger rushed to the resort in the middle of the night after overhearing that you were injured. He must have driven too fast that night, and his carâs windshield was shattered by the tree branch. That was how he got injured. Fortunately, Doctor Leon and the rest arrived in time to treat his wound. But he continued on his journey right after but said he did not see you⦠So I was thinking, were you hurt too?â
âHe said he didnât see me?â Eudora asked.
âYes, after leaving Doctor Leon that day, Mr. Granger said he came back by himself! Isnât that right?â
Of course not.
Eudora still clearly remembered the moonlit night and that sentimental tune he had sungâ¦
He hummed gently in her ears, âAutumn⦠So cold yet so warm, I will be next to youâ¦â
Eudora heard Tina sigh. âEudora, you may not like this, but Iâm going to say it anyway. President Granger is really the most affectionate man in the world, even Christopher Gellert canât be compared to him. I donât believe that you divorced him because you dislike himâ¦Â So, was it because of Dad? Why donât you ask Dad to reconsider the matter again?â
Eudora ignored her, and suddenly there was a commotion. Through the phone, Eudora could hear Harley shouting something angrily.
âAmos, stop being so stubborn, okay? It doesnât matter! You can continue to refuse medication, and overwork yourself. But regardless, Eudora wonât come back.â
Then, there was a click on the phone, and the call hung up.
Eudora froze, and her heart throbbed in pain.
Amos wasnât taking his medication? Why wasnât he taking them while he was ill? And why was he still working?
His body was no longer as healthy as it used to be. Since he donated his kidney to her, he had been injured countless times.
If only they were back in the past, this wouldnât have been the case.
Eudora was in a daze, but in the end, she searched for Doctor Leonâs number from her contact list and gave him a call.
The phone quickly connected, and Doctor Leonâs deep voice sounded from the other end.
âEudora?â
Before she even realized that Doctor Leon could still remember her number, Eudora immediately spoke.
âHow is Amos?â
Doctor Leon was silent for a moment. âYouâre asking about Amos?â
âYes!â Eudora nodded. âI heard that he was injured. Havenât you been monitoring his health? How is he? Did he lose his temper and refuse to take his medication again? Please try to persuade him!â
Because she was worried, Eudora had forgotten about all the things she should note be probing into.
Doctor Leon chuckled. âI really donât understand whatâs going on between young people like you both. I can only tell you this. Iâm doing my duty as a doctor. As for whether heâs fine or not, youâd better ask him yourself!â
Eudora tried to argue, âDoctor Leonâ¦â
âEudora!â Doctor Leon spoke again. This time, he sounded a little earnest.
âI understand the relationship between the both of you has come a long way. I initially thought that youâd share your lives together, as no couple was as loving towards each other as both of you. Little did I know that things would turn out this way. Thatâs it, I donât want to talk about it anymore. I know you have feelings for him. My advice is still the same. You are the best medicine for him. Do as you see fit!â
After that, Doctor Leon hung up the phone.
Eudora frowned. Doctor Leon was right.
She knew why Amos was acting like this. Maybe it was because he saw Fabian proposing to her, and got upset?
Closing her eyes, she finally looked at the necktie that she picked up and washed.
After a while, she put the necktie into her bag and went out.
Tyler was playing with Juju and Sugar Bun in the living room downstairs. He had changed a lot ever since the two children came.
Recently, he had designated Eudora to take care of company affairs. He didnât want to be involved anymore.
Hence, she did not need to find an excuse. She just said she was going to work and simply left the house.
