Leon answered Eudora's question with a dignified expression.
"To be honest, your health isn't in good condition."
Eudora's heart skipped a beat. She asked anxiously, "What do you mean?"
Leon pursed his lips and explained, "You've sustained many injuries before. I can see that you have been taking good care of yourself these years."
"Nevertheless, you might find that you're unable to do things as well as you wish because of your age. Have you been stressed lately? Your heart doesn't seem to be in good condition either. Although it won't cause you too many problems for the time being, I suggest you go to the hospital as soon as possible!"
Eudora asked, "Then, will any other problems surface for the time being?"
"That shouldn't be the case, but you should pay attention to your own mental state as well."
Eudora nodded and said, "Alright!"
She didn't want to leave this world yet as she still had her lover and children.
"I'll pay attention to it!"
As they were talking, Amos happened to come down from upstairs.
While he was still on the stairs, he had already begun to ask, "Doctor Leon, how is her condition?"
Eudora instantly shook her head at Doctor Leon and said softly, "Don't tell him!"
The Granger family had to deal with many matters recently. Although Amos didn't 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.
Eudora's words made Doctor Leon hesitate.
Eudora continued to coax him into concealing it by saying, "I'll go to the hospital later. Don't say anything first!"
Leon nodded and said, "Nothing, it's no big deal. It's just that she hasn't been sleeping well enough recently. She should rest more."
Amos breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay!" Then, he turned to look at Eudora and said, "Indeed, you lack sleep. The dark circles under your eyes make you look like a panda."
Leon's grandson, Bowie, also laughed and imitated Amos.
"Panda! Panda!"
Eudora became bashful and said, "Hey, don't embarrass me in front of a child!"
Seeing that they still deeply loved each other after being married for so many years, Leon couldn't help feeling happy for them.
"Well, you two can have your own sweet time. I'll take my grandson back first!"
Eudora hurriedly said, "Have a meal here before you leave!"
"There's no need for that. I'm fed up with your PDA."
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, "What's PDA?"
Eudora was dumbstruck by his question.
"I know that you didn't browse the Internet that much in the past, but haven't you been on the phone a lot recently? How can you not know about PDA?"
Amos gave a sheepish grin and said, "I only look at your posts and status. How will I know Internet slang?"
Eudora was touched at the moment, yet felt a bit exasperated.
"Okay, 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 can't stand it."
Amos nodded and said, "If so, don't we do that every day at home?"
Cindy, who had just come in from outside, burst into laughter when she heard their conversation.
"Mr. Granger, have you just realized?"
Amos coughed slightly and turned to look at Cindy before saying, "Ahem, Cindy, it seems like you can stand our PDA without a problem. Very well then, we'll continue to do it in the future."
After that, he stretched out his hands to carry Eudora in his arms again.
"You woke up too early this morning. Let's go upstairs to rest."
Cindy was at a loss for words.
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.
