Eudora was washing the vegetables. Her fingers paused slightly when she heard this. She tried to speak as nonchalantly as possible.
She tried to speak as nonchalantly as possible, âDo you want to help me wash the vegetables?â
Amos stayed where he was.
He continued, âYou must have gone to see Doctor Leon this morning and he must have told you everything about my situation!â
âAmos!â Eudora interrupted him. âDoctor Leon told me everything, but I donât believe it! I donât believe that the heavens would do this to us! Weâve worked so hard and we love each other so much! Why do we always have to face so many obstacles? Moreover, Iâve thought about it. Iâll take you abroad. Harley and Clint have a lot of connections too. We can still find a better way!â
âDoctor Leonâs friend is an expert in this field. Heâs already the best in the world!â
Eudora frowned, âI donât care! I donât believe in those so-called chances! I only believe that Iâm going to keep you. Have you forgotten? You promised me before, when we get old, you will accompany me to wherever I want. You canât break your promise!â
Amos pursed his lips together and stayed silent for a long while.
Eudora also changed the subject after noticing this.
She continued, âLetâs not talk about this anymore. Arenât you here to help me? Hurry and come over here. Help me wash the vegetables!â
Eudora had already reached out to push him to the front of the sink before Amos could react. She added, âHere are the gloves. Put them on!â
Amos was flustered for a moment as he looked at the sink in front of him.
Eudora complained when she turned around and saw that Amosâ hand hadnât moved yet.
âWhy arenât you doing anything? I wonât spoil you just because youâve returned! Letâs be clear. Iâll focus on making money, thus youâll have to take care of the house. Accompany the children and cook for us! I canât do everything on my own!â
Amos stared at Eudoraâs babbling manner in a daze. She was deliberately putting on a fierce front.
However, the light in her eyes made him alight with excitement.
He had always had the impression that he did not differ from a disabled person since the accident.
However, nowâ¦
Amos felt that he was still needed.
He picked up the vegetables in the sink and slowly washed them.
Eudora glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and curled her lips.
It was time to give Cindy a break. She was not as young as she used to be. Since she was on her holiday, she should go out and date people!
That night, Eudora took the chance to explain the situation to Cindy while Amos was taking a bath.
Initially, Cindy said she didnât want to get in a relationship with someone. However, Eudora mentioned it was for Amosâ sake. She then nodded her head in a hurry!
âMadam, donât worry! Iâll go on blind dates and try my best!â
âAlright. When you come back, Iâll raise your salary!â
Eudora had something on her mind all night, thus she didnât really sleep much. When the alarm rang, she immediately woke up.
She quickly turned it off and closed her eyes again.
Amos, who was sleeping next to her, awoke soon after.
He first covered Eudora with the quilt and then went to the bathroom. After washing up, he opened the door and went out.
Eudora hurriedly got up and looked out through the crack of the door. Sugar Bun would usually wake up around this time.
Eudora was usually the one taking care of him, thus she was well aware of this.
Eudora was adamant about not doing anything on this day!
As expected, the next second, she heard the sound coming from Sugar Bunâs bedroom.
âMom⦠â
Amos followed the sound, and Sugar Bunâs voice soon stopped. Then, Jujuâs voice sounded, âDad, I have to go back to Master Clarkeâs today. I have to leave now!â
Footsteps sounded in the corridor. Eudora hurriedly ran back to the bed to lie down. A moment later, she felt that there were three people looking in the room.
âMom!â Sugar Bun cried out.
Immediately, Juju reminded him, âMomâs asleep. Donât disturb her rest!â
The door was closed again after that. The three of them had already gone downstairs.
Eudora looked down from the corridor and saw Amos telling Juju to bring Sugar Bun to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Eudoraâs lips curved into a smile upon seeing that he was keeping himself busy and was not as dull as before.
Only when one was preoccupied would they be able to comprehend the true meaning of life!
Amos had already prepared everything when Eudora went downstairs. The two children were eating their breakfast. Eudoraâs portion had also been prepared.
Just like before, Eudora went to kiss her son and daughter before sitting down with a smile.
âWho made todayâs breakfast? Itâs so hearty! Was it Cindy?â
âCindy asked for leave!â Juju corrected her. âDad made this! Itâs delicious!â
Eudora pretended to be indifferent as she looked at Sugar Bun, âWhat do you think, Sugar Bun?â
âItâs delicious!â Sugar Bun nodded!
âShall we let Dad eat too?â
The two children immediately pushed their plates to Amos.
âDad! Have a bite.â
Amos took a bite and said, âOkay! Letâs all eat together.â
After the meal, Amos and Eudora brought Sugar Bun along to send Juju to Leslieâs. When they arrived at Leslieâs door, Eudora was still in a dilemma.
âJuju has lost a lot of weight. Now that you are back, why donât we ask her to stop training?â
Amos loved his daughter very much, and Eudora definitely thought he would agree! He unexpectedly sided with Juju.
He said, âItâs good for her to receive training. With it, she wonât be bullied in the future!â
Amos felt that he understood something after the accident. People could only protect themselves and others when they were strong enough.
This was especially true for girls. Rather than being protected, it would be better for them to do what they wanted. In the future, they could protect themselves.
Eudora naturally respected Amosâ opinion, thus she didnât insist on it.
After that, Eudora handed Sugar Bun to Amos.
âAlright, Iâm going to work. Iâm leaving Sugar Bun with you! Mr. Granger, do you have any objections?â
Amos nodded, âNone!â
Amos turned to look at Sugar Bun with a smile after Eudora left.
âYour Mom is trying her best to make me feel better. Sheâs really racking her brains!â
Sugar Bun did not understand the meaning behind his words. Upon hearing him, he just smiled brightly at Amos.
A childâs innocent smile could brighten anyoneâs mood. Amos felt his negative emotions dissipate a lot as he looked at Sugar Bunâs smile.
After Eudora arrived at the company, she contacted Doctor Leon again.
She said, âIâve thought about what you said yesterday. Letâs follow your plans. However, when everythingâs ready, I would like to personally talk to the doctor-in-charge!â
