"No, she didn't!" Amos replied.
Wendy Liam had no chance to touch him at all over the past few years. How could she cure him?
Every time he fell ill, he would take medicine and think of Eudora as he endured everything.
"What's going on then?" Eudora George was surprised.
Amos smiled. "That's probably because she's your daughter!"
Eudora was speechless.
Juju suddenly said, "Uncle, why are you holding my Mommy's hand? Could you also hold my hand?"
Eudora was shocked to find that her hand was still linked with Amos'. She hurriedly pulled it out and said, "Uncle is feeling a little unwell, so Mommy was about to take care of him."
Juju nodded, not fully understanding, and reached out to pat Amos' back. "Uncle, do you feel much better now?"
Amos felt a sudden surge of warmth in his heart. He looked at Juju in a daze and said, "Yes, I feel much better now."
At this time, Auntie Valerie took out all the toys she had prepared for Juju, "Mr. Granger had prepared these Barbies for you, and also these..."
Juju liked Barbie very much, but when she looked at Eudora shaking her head at her, she stood there and didn't dare to move.
Eudora said hurriedly, "No. Don't spoil the child."
Hearing this, Amos couldn't help but feel annoyed. Didn't this woman earn a lot of money? She opened her own studio and made her name as a famous designer. Why was she acting like she couldn't afford to buy toys?
However, he didn't know that Eudora had been pursuing for spiritual wealth. What she had in terms of material wealth was already enough for them, so she didn't need anything else.
Frowning, Amos replied.
"This is a gift for saving Cola. You deserve it. If you don't want it, Auntie Valerie can take it out and throw it away!"
Auntie Valerie looked embarrassed. "This..."
"Throw it out!" Amos repeated.
"Forget it!" Eudora said hurriedly. "Since it's a thank-you gift, we'll take it. Juju, thank uncle for the gift!"
As a little girl, Juju liked Barbie very much, so she immediately thanked Amos warmly. "Thank you, Uncle."
Looking at the little girl's smile, Amos felt his heart melt.
Juju was playing with Cola at the corner. Eudora could not bear to stay in the living room for long, so she took the initiative to help Auntie Valerie out in the kitchen.
Auntie Valerie knew that Eudora was still a little uncomfortable around Amos, so she did not refuse her help.
The kitchen was still the same as it was five years ago. It had not changed a single bit. Looking at everything, Eudora felt as if she had never left. It was like she had just got home from grocery shopping.
While she was thinking, Auntie Valerie suddenly asked,
"Miss George, how about you cook the brussels sprouts today?"
Eudora came here to help, so how could she refuse? So, she nodded. "No problem!"
Auntie Valerie had already prepared the brussels sprouts, so all Eudora had to do was to cook it.
After cooking, Auntie Valerie said with a smile, "Mr. Granger really loves brussels sprouts! He had been eating this almost every day over the past few years. I just noticed that the way you cook the brussels sprouts is a little different than the way I cook it."
Eudora was surprised and asked, "He loves to eat brussels sprouts?"
"I thought he didn't have anything that he particularly loves to eat. He had said more than once that food was just something that could fill his stomach. He was not fussy with food." Mused Eudora quietly.
Auntie Valerie also shook her head. "I don't know about this. All I know is that Mr. Granger just likes brussels sprouts very much." Eudora frowned and suddenly remembered that she seemed to have once told him the story about brussels sprouts. Was it because of this?
