The Old Master sighed.
"I gave up my marriage and love for the Granger family. In the end, I disappointed my beloved ones. And for what? I will not be able to wash away my sins for the rest of my life. I only hope that if I could treat them better if I were to have a chance to in my next life."
Amos' lips parted. He wanted to say, "Don't die." But when he was about to speak, he changed his mind and instead said, "Do you think there will be a next life? There will be nothing left if you die."
A trace of sadness flashed across Old Master Granger's eyes.
After a long time, he sighed and said, "You b*stard, couldn't you just let me be happy for once? Don’t quarrel with me, okay? Forget it. You may leave now! I want to see Eudora."
Amos Granger frowned, "Don't make things difficult for her!"
"Hmph! Why do you think that I would do that?"
Amos went out and nodded at Eudora, "He wants to see you."
Steven Granger, who was behind him, glanced at Eudora George in surprise. He did not expect the Old Master to want to see Eudora at this point.
Eudora was also surprised. She thought that she had only done what she should do. She didn't know why the Old Master had suddenly asked for her.
She went into the room after passing Juju to Amos.
The Old Master had an oxygen mask on, and his breathing was very heavy. Eudora was frightened when she heard his tired breaths, so she hurried over and asked in a low voice.
"Old Master, I heard that you asked for me."
The Old Master took two more breaths before opening her eyes and looking at her.
After a long time, he finally asked in a hoarse voice, "You're here."
Eudora nodded, "Yes!"
"That's great," The Old Master said, "I'm afraid that I can't go on anymore. There are a lot of things that I could only tell you..."
The Old Master was very frank. This was a well-acknowledged secret. Eudora felt a little uneasy but she did not refute him.
"Please go ahead. I'll definitely help you."
"Good!" The Old Master laughed, "I know that you are a good child. I have misunderstood you before. After I leave, you must help me take good care of Amos. He is a very affectionate person, but he always puts on a face as if he doesn't care. That is not good. In this world, you are the only person who could persuade him!"
Eudora nodded, "Yes! I will!"
"That's good!" The Old Master murmured, "That's good."
There was a long silence after that. Eudora thought that he had finished speaking, and so she asked, "Old Master? Is there anything else? Otherwise, I'll take my leave now."
However, at this moment, the Old Master suddenly uttered, "Wait a minute!"
Eudora looked at him in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Why aren't you referring to me as your Dad? Neither of you is willing to address me as so..."
At this point, his face seemed to be filled with loneliness. Eudora's nose twitched, and she immediately opened her mouth and said, "It's not that. I'm just not used to it."
"Could you please give it a try then?"
Eudora nodded, "Dad..."
