Doctor Leon sighed.
In the end, he said only one sentence, "People are like candles. One day, all their tears for that one person will disappear."
Eudora laid on the bed for half a day in a daze. She felt as if her palm was being held tightly by something, and she was sweating profusely.
She struggled for a while as she felt a little uncomfortable, and then she heard the gentle voice of Amos.
Then, she heard Amos' gentle voice, "You're awake?"
Eudora opened her eyes. It was dark in the room, and no lights were turned on. However, she still noticed Amos's eyes at a glance.
They looked moist.
"What's the matter?" she asked.
"I'm fine. Are you hungry? I'll ask Cindy to bring you something to eat."
"It's okay, there's no need for that!" Eudora shook her head as she explained, "I'm not hungry yet!"
Amos did not insist anymore. He held Eudora's hand and tucked her in.
"You used to say that you wanted to live in the mountains with me, right? I'm not busy recently, so would you like me to go with you?"
Eudora shook her head and said, "That was my wish when I grew old, not now. Naomi and Sugar Bun are still young. I haven't heard anything from Naomi and there's no one to take care of Sugar Bun. How can I have peace of mind to go to the mountains?"
Amos frowned.
"They have both grown up. It's time for them to live their own lives."
"No matter how big they are, they're still my children!" Eudora shook her head again. She added, "What's wrong? Don't you love our children?"
She was adorable as she acted like she was angry. However, she was actually trying to be petty with him.
He liked the way she was being coquettish. There was a hint of coyness in her eyes, as if she was the young girl from many years ago.
Her whole body was full of vitality.
Amos suddenly felt warm in his heart. He said sincerely, "Of course I love them."
"However, I love you more! For me, you are not only my wife, but also a part of me. I can't imagine if I were to lose a part of myself, would I still be able to live?" Amos thought to himself.
"You love them and yet you want to go to the mountains with me? You're not being a good father!"
Exasperated, Amos said, "Alright, then we won't go to the mountains."
"That's more like it!" After Eudora said those few words, she felt a little tired again.
Amos stretched out his hand and held her tightly, saying, "I'll accompany you. Sleep for a while longer!"
Eudora nodded and soon fell asleep in a daze. Amos lowered his head to look at her sleeping face and gently touched her forehead.
In the dark, he thought about something carefully in his mind.
After a while, he slowly got up and went to the balcony to make a phone call.
"Clint, please help me find a woman with an equal social standing and is a suitable marriage prospect, preferably someone who is gentle and has a virtuous personality!"
Clint was stunned. He asked, "Mr. Granger, what do you..."
"Eudora is sick!" Amos sighed and said, "I..."
"No!" Clint's face was filled with bitterness. He said, "Mr. Granger, I know that Mrs. Granger is not in good health now, but you can't do this to her. Mrs. Granger treats you so well, how could you do this to her at a time like this?"
Amos was confused.
"What are you talking about?"
"Isn't it?" Clint looked at Anya, who was praising him, and spoke even louder.
"We respect Mrs. Granger a lot. You can't find a mistress behind Mrs. Granger's back!"
"Shut up!" Amos said coldly, "I'm looking for a suitable woman for Sugar Bun!"
"Ah?" Clint covered his face and asked, "It's for Young Master Eddison? He is still young, right? In fact, there is no need for him to get married so early."
"That's none of your business!"
