Gordon kept his thoughts to himself and smiled at Eudora.
"I'm sorry, Eudora! I'm not suited to be a good father. After your mother's death, I didn't even send you to your biological father in time, therefore you had to follow me and suffer a great deal!"
"It's okay! I don't blame you at all!" Eudora shook her head.
"That's nice!" Gordon laughed. He continued to speak, "I feel sorry towards Kesha as well! I wasn't a good father towards her as I didn't educate her well. If I have another chance in the next life, I wouldn't want to become your father anymore, alright? I'll give that chance up to your father so that the both of you can cultivate your fatherdaughter relationship once again. As for me, I want to make sure Kesha receives a good education, okay?"
"Alright! I'll go along with anything you want!" Eudora nodded, tears sliding down the corners of her eyes.
"Don't talk anymore. The doctor will be here soon. You'll be alright! Juju and Sugar Bun still need
you!"
Gordon nodded and said, "Okay, I’ll just take a nap first. When I get better, remember to wake me up. I will build a nicer building for them with blocks tomorrow!"
"No!" Eudora shook her head. "Don't sleep! It's still early, don't sleep!"
She held onto Gordon's wrist.
She shouted, "Where's the doctor? Where are they?"
"They're here! They're here!" Amos ran in with the nurses and a stretcher.
"Quick, send him to the hospital!"
Just as the nurses were about to reach out to Gordon, Gordon's arm fell down slowly. Eudora shouted, "Dad!"
The nurses hurriedly pushed through the crowd, "Everybody, please make way. We have to rescue the patient."
Amos stretched his hand out and pulled Eudora over to his side. He said, "Don't worry, it'll be alright!"
Eudora was nestled in Amos's arms, and all she could think about was her memories of her with Gordon.
Each time he came back from work, he would pick her up and poke her face with his beard. Whenever she wanted a paper star, he would try his best to make her one.
At that moment, Eudora suddenly discovered that all her displeasure towards him in the past disappeared in an instant.
All she could think about was how great he was!
"Amos, it's all my fault. I didn't notice that there was something wrong with him. As soon as he came back here, he wanted to move my mother's grave, so I already felt that something was strange! Why didn't I realize something at that time? If I had found out that he was unwell at that time, maybe things would not be so bad now..."
"How could this be your fault?" Furthermore, Gordon's condition must have been seriously ill since half a month ago.
Otherwise, he would not make such a decision!
As she thought about it, Eudora suddenly ran out the door.
"Stars...I need to look for stars!"
Amos hurriedly chased after Eudora and saw that she was standing on the balcony, frantically looking up at the sky.
"Shooting star, where are you? I want to make a wish. I hope that you can make my father get better!"
Looked as if she was suffering from a mental breakdown, she kept looking for shooting stars while standing at the balcony. Several times, she stretched half of her body out over the fence, scaring Amos half to death!
He held her in his arms.
Then, he whispered in her ears, "I'll look for it with you. Don't worry!"
The two of them stared at each other for a while. Suddenly, Amos said, "Shooting star!"
A large meteor streaked across the sky. Eudora's heart was filled with joy as she hurriedly made a wish.
Eudora's heart was filled with joy as she hurriedly made a wish, "Dad will be fine!"
After that, she let go of Amos and ran back in again.
In the living room, the nurses had stopped their rescuing procedures. Eudora hurriedly asked, "Is my father all right? Dad..."
