Seeing Florence's tear-stained face, Amelia was amused. She pointed to the bathroom. "Let's go. Let's go washing your face!"
"Amelia! I'm not a kid... I don't need you to help me there."
That being said, Florence followed Amelia willingly.
Florence liked her so much. Amelia was both gentle, generous, and didn't care about her recklessness and rudeness at all. In
comparison, Florence seemed to have a lot of room for improvement.
Staring at Amelia's back, Florence made up her mind that no matter what would happen, she would always be at Amelia's side!
When Amelia reappeared with Florence, who had her make-up in check again, everyone looked at them with a knowing smile in their eyes.
They still remember Florence's throwing a tantrum at Amelia in the hospital. Everyone had been worried about when they would forgive each other again. And now it seemed that they had become friends again in private.
Since Howard and Eve were not home, Patrick was sitting at the center of the living room and making tea. He asked her sister suddenly, "Florence, where are Dad and Mom?"
Florence gave a short pause before saying, "Patrick, you may not know that Dad has built a Buddha hall in the backyard two months ago to pray for Mom.
But... Somehow Mom was furious at it. And Dad was angry, too. So he stays in the hall every day to copy scriptures. I guess he is still there now."
Patrick knitted his brows, "Dad has converted to Buddhism?"
Owen couldn't help chuckling. "What nonsense are you thinking about? Dad built the Buddha hall to find peace and dispel the resentment he feels."
Finding no surprise on Owen's face, Patrick narrowed his eyes. "Owen, you knew that already?"
Owen picked up a cup of tea and slowly said, "Yes, I knew it a long time ago. I called you one day. Do you remember? But the moment I brought Dad up, you ask me to stop talking. So I could only leave it alone for the time being."
Patrick seemed to remember such a thing, so he didn't argue with him anymore.
Amelia looked around the huge living room, the second floor, and the third floor, but she couldn't
found Eve. So she asked Florence, "Where is Eve?"
A touch of worry flickered in Florence's eyes. "Mom woke up this morning saying that she had a headache. Then the driver took her to the hospital."
"Isn't there a family doctor?"
"Amelia, the doctor also needs to go home for Christmas..."
While they were talking, they found Ashley being chased by Rick. Amelia and Florence immediately fixed their gazes on her in case she fell from the chasing.
While Ashley was running, she kept looking back and grimacing at Rick. Amelia reminded her with concerns, "Ashley, don't run that fast! Be careful!"
