Five years later, at Clearwater Bay.
Amos was sitting in a daze after getting up in the morning. He lowered his head to look at Cola rubbing against his legs.
"Do you feel like having steak?"
Cola had grown into an adult dog, but it was still a little thin. Amos had dismissed Auntie Valerie after Eudora left. On top of that, he did not have the time to take care of Cola himself. Therefore, by the time he had realized about it, Cola had not eaten for days and its health was already slowly deteriorating.
It was not until he asked Auntie Valerie that he finally learned about Cola's favorite food. It was beef steak which was grilled by Eudora.
Even a puppy knew how to be sentimental. However, after so many years, there was still no news from that ruthless woman.
He reached out to pet Cola's head and said, "Auntie Valerie, please prepare some steaks for Cola."
"Don't bother, I've already brought it over!" Wendy came in with a bunch of flowers in her hand. She was wearing a red skirt today, with her long hair loosely tied behind her head. At first glance, she really looked like Eudora.
After arranging the flowers in the vase, she smiled and greeted Amos. "Are you feeling better today?"
Amos nodded slightly without saying anything. Wendy was used to it. She opened the container in her hand and said, "I know Cola loves eating steak, so I've brought some today."
Auntie Valerie glanced at Wendy with contempt. If it wasn't because that Wendy had saved President Granger's life, she would have already kicked her out from the house. Miss George wouldn't have left if it weren't for Wendy too.
It was no wonder that Cola didn't like Wendy either.
While Auntie Valerie was still immersed in her thoughts, Wendy had placed the beef on Cola's plate. "Cola, come and eat the steak!"
Cola glanced at her and gave her a wary whimper.
Cola was really smart. For the past five years, even though Wendy had always been in and out of the house, Cola still did not like her.
Wendy was a little embarrassed so she pointed at the steak and said softly, "Cola, can you see that? It's steak, and it's your favorite!"
It was only then did Cola realize that there was a piece of steak on the plate and then walked slowly towards it.
Wendy was overjoyed. She knew that there was nothing in the world that she couldn't deal with, be it men or dogs.
Cola slowly approached the plate and lowered its head to smell the steak. The next second, Cola turned around and left.
Wendy was speechless.
Auntie Valerie, who was behind her, almost laughed out loud. A counterfeit would never win. She would never replace Miss George.
Wendy was a little angry. She couldn't resign to being humiliated by a dog, so she hurriedly pulled Cola's ear. Cola yelped in pain and bit her fingers.
Wendy hissed and held her fingers while tears started to roll down her cheeks.
Auntie Valerie was happy and said hypocritically, "Miss Liam, how could you pull Cola's ear? Cola is a dog, but it could still feel pain!"
Wendy's face was full of grievance. "I didn't. I just want him to taste the steak." She turned her head to Amos and was about to cry.
"Amos, trust me!"
Amos frowned slightly and said, "Notify the driver. Ask him to take Miss Liam to the hospital."
Wendy grabbed Amos' arm and said, "My fingers are bleeding. I'm scared, Amos. Could you please come with me? I'm really scared!"
Amos frowned and said, "I still have something to attend to at the office. Auntie Valerie, you'll go with her then!"
Aunt Valerie nodded. "Yes, Sir."
After Wendy left for the hospital, Amos then went to the office.
As soon as he stepped into the office, Amos immediately looked at Clint with an expectant look.
However, Clint shook his head as usual. "I haven't heard anything about Miss George yet."
Ever since Eudora disappeared five years ago, this conversation had already become a routine to Amos and Clint.
Amos nodded back as usual. At this moment, Clint thought that he could start reporting the daily schedule to Amos. However, at the next second, Amos suddenly sighed, "Do you think she will ever come back again?"
