The next day, Naomi set out on her trip to Greene City.
She went with Emma.
They only had one bad project in hand, and nothing else!
As Eudora sent her to the security check, for some unknown reason, she remembered Naomi's childhood.
At that time, she and Naomi had come back from abroad. Naomi at that time was young and weak.
Naomi had always held her hand and did not want to be separated from her even for half a minute.
In the blink of an eye, she had grown up so much that she could leave her parents' side!
The more she thought about it, the more she panicked, causing Eudora to stumble a little.
Amos was shocked and asked, "What's the matter? Are you not feeling well?"
Eudora shook her head, and she thought about the last time Leon had said that her body was not in good condition. He had asked her to take care of her body.
Naomi's incident had come to an end, so it was time for her to find time to go and undergo an examination.
"Are you really alright? You don't look well."
"I'm really fine. I want to go over there and take a rest!"
"Okay!" Amos helped her.
That afternoon, Amos went to the company to work, while Eudora contacted Leon.
"Have you finished your work?" As children's voices sounded from Leon's side, it was obvious he was enjoying his retirement.
"Yes, I'm done with my work. I just wanted to ask you if you have time to give me a check up."
"I'm free! Come over at any time. I'll ask my friend to arrange the best doctor for you."
"Then, I'll head there tomorrow morning!" Eudora said.
The next morning, Amos did not plan to go to work.
"I've already dealt with all the urgent things yesterday! I won't go to work today. I'll stay at home to accompany you!"
"There's no need forthat!" Eudora refused. "I'm not sick or ill. Why do you want to keep me company? You should take care of your own matters first!"
Amos pursed his lips and said, "Alright! I'll go
then!"
After Amos left, Eudora immediately found an excuse to slip away and went out.
After contacting Leon at the hospital's entrance, Leon kept mumbling as he held a child in his arms.
"Why are you behaving like I'm making an illegal transaction with you? You're just here to see a doctor!"
Eudora covered her face and explained, "I just don't want Amos to be worried about me."
She had been with Amos for twenty years! In those twenty years, they had gone through a lot of hardships together. Actually, it had been incredibly difficult for them to walk on the same path.
She knew how important she was in Amos's heart.
If she were to tell him that she was sick, Amos would definitely forgo everything to take care of her. What's more, he would definitely be more worried about her than she was at herself.
She really did not want Amos to sacrifice too much for herself.
Wasn't it always like that in a relationship? They were considerate of each other all the time!
"Alright, I do know his temper! You can go in. My friend is very experienced."
Leon's phone rang before his voice died away.
On the other end was Helen's anxious voice. She asked, "Dad, where did you take Bowie?"
"We're outside, I'll be back soon!"
"Alright. We're planning to take Bowie to my mother-in-law's place today. She has been waiting for half a month for this day! We're leaving now. Hurry up and send Bowie back.."
Leon curled his lips and said, "Your mother-in-law is more important, huh?"
"What? Dad, don't say that. You have been taking care of Bowie the entire time. My mother-in-law and other people also have the right to see Bowie!"
Still upset, Leon looked at Eudora and asked, "What do you think?"
