The room was empty and the lights were not switched on.
Only a glimmer of light coming in from the door reflected on Amos' back. Eudora sighed and slowly walked over and hugged him from behind.
"Amos, you still have me and Juju."
Amos' back stiffened for a moment. After a while, he responded, "Hmm”.
"Let's pack!"
The Old Master did not have many belongings. They were all brought and kept in boxes. He only brought some clothes as well as some of his daily necessities.
Now, they were all relics.
Eudora George helped to organize and categorize them, put them into boxes, and sorted them out.
When she was cleaning the Old Master's bed, she saw a notebook under the pillow as she removed the pillowcase.
Eudora picked it up casually. When she was about to put it in the box, a photo from the notebook fell out.
It was a photo of Amos and a young woman. The woman's eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Amos'. She was probably Amos' mother.
Out of curiosity, Eudora opened the notebook. She only read two lines and tears started welling up in her eyes.
"Amos..."
Amos Granger came over and found the notebook in Eudora's hand.
That notebook, strictly speaking, was actually a to-do-list.
Each wish was written line by line.
To have a meal with my son.
To play basketball with my son.
To ride the roller coaster with my son.
To play chess with my son.
To play games with my son.
All of them were checked, except for the roller coaster ride.
That explained why he had suddenly wanted to ride a roller coaster on that day. It was because he wanted to grant Amos’ childhood wishes.
Eudora used to think that as a father, the Old Master was very indifferent and perhaps, even a little selfish. He would always do such outrageous things for the sake of his family.
However, at this moment, she could feel the love of a father.
It seemed as though he was filled with regret toward the end of his life.
Eudora sniffled and looked at Amos, "Are you okay?"
Amos smiled faintly, "Well, what else could I say? Don't you think that it's a little too late to do this now?"
After that, he went out with the notebook in his hand.
"Don't follow me."
Eudora stopped in her tracks. She wiped her tears away and began to pack again.
She went out of the room after everything was done. At first glance, she saw Amos sitting alone on the ground at the end of the corridor, flipping through the notebook pages.
She couldn't hear anything, but she could clearly see that Amos' shoulders were trembling rapidly.
Eudora brought a coat with her solemnly. When she approached Amos, she heard his low and hoarse voice, "Dad..."
Eudora's eyes were red, and she didn't dare to walk over.
Amos was the head of the Granger family. He had deliberately walked out of the room because he didn't want her to see his weak side.
Therefore, at this time, she knew that she could give him some space to grieve.
After thinking for a while, she walked back to the door. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Juju standing there with bare feet as she stared at Amos.
