However, dreams were just dreams, and they could not be compared to reality.
Eudora came back to her senses and hurriedly took the ring away from Juju's hand.
"Juju, you can't simply touch Uncle's stuff. It's impolite."
Juju pouted and looked like she was about to cry when Amos said hurriedly, "It's fine. It belongs to you anyway!"
It was only then that Eudora realized the ring was the one that Amos had given her. Se had taken it with her when she left, but then she lost it.
She thought that she wouldn't be able to find it, but she didn't expect it would end up back in Amos' possession.
Eudora could feel heat gushing into the hand that was holding the ring. The memories of the ring suddenly made her flinch as if scalding her finger, and Eudora hurriedly loosened her grip.
"I left long ago. This isn't mine anymore!"
After that, she bent down and reached out to Juju. "Follow Mommy back to our room, alright?"
Obviously, Juju didn't want to leave, so Eudora had to add, "Uncle has work to do, he can't accompany you all the time!"
Obviously, the words had zero effect on a kid who had just been harmed and traumatized. It was basically useless. On the contrary, Juju was worried that Amos would leave and threw herself directly into his arms.
She gave Eudora a headache. In the end, it was Amos who finally spoke.
"It's okay. I'll be pushing my schedule back for the next two days. I'll take it as my annual leave. We'll wait and see if Juju's condition had stabilized by then."
Furthermore, Amos was actually very happy to accompany Juju.
If Eudora was his weakness, then Juju should be the softest spot in his heart. All Juju had to do was to look at him with her huge round eyes, which always made Amos' heart melt.
He was willing to give Juju anything she wanted.
Since Eudora couldn't change his mind, she let Amos have his way. Perhaps, this was the only chance Juju could get closer to her biological father.
When Juju got better, she would definitely take her away.
Thinking of this, Eudora went downstairs.
Juju didn't eat anything during lunch in the hospital, so Eudora wanted to cook something delicious for dinner to lift her spirits.
When Auntie Valerie saw Eudora entering the kitchen, she was very happy and she voluntarily helped to prepare for dinner. When dinner was ready, Eudora went to the garden to look for Amos.
When she went over, she saw Amos drawing with Juju. Amos was acting as a model for Juju to draw. None of them spoke, but the sight looked warm and cozy.
A gust of wind blew, causing Amos' hair to fly in the wind. He looked just like Prince Charming from the fairytales.
However, what was different from the past was that this prince was no longer as cold. He was much warmer and gentler. Eudora used to imagine what Amos would be like with a child one day, and now was the best example.
After taking a deep breath, Eudora walked over to them. "Time for dinner!"
Amos hummed in reply and looked at Juju. "Little princess, are you ready?"
Juju nodded. Eudora looked over and saw Juju's drawing at once. She was immediately stunned.
She thought that Juju had drawn was a picture of Amos, but she didn't expect that she would draw a picture of a family of three.
A man and a woman were holding the hands of a little girl in a princess dress. On the side, Juju wrote three words crookedly, which spelt "we are together".
Eudora felt her nose twinge. Suddenly, she felt that she had let Juju down.
She hurriedly bent down and picked her up. In an instant, she gave up the idea of looking for Christopher, in hopes that he could gain Juju's favor.
