As she twirled the teacup she was holding, Pam gave him an awkward look. "Mr. Fu, I think it's better for you not to get involved in this matter. Others can't understand the grudge between us and Jay."
"Jay is my friend. He's aware of how much he owes to your family throughout these years. That's why he was very excited when he heard that Eva has finally woken up. He always wanted to see her and fulfil his wish to apologize to her. But you hate him so you never let him, which led him to do such a stupid thing. I hope you can forgive him for the sake of his painstaking efforts. I hope you can let him go this time." No matter how sincere Charles was, he only received a bitter smile from Pam.
"I'm a woman and I've been taking care of a vegetative child for so many years. Do you know how hard it is?"
"You must have been tired." Although Charles didn't know much about it, he could imagine how depressing it was for her.
"Tired? Huh!” All of a sudden, Pam stood up with a sneer. "Let's go, Mr. Fu. I'll take you to Eva."
"Okay." Without a second thought, Charles put down his teacup and stood up.
Pam led the way to the third floor, and Charles followed behind her.
Since the door of Eva's room was open, it could be seen from the entrance that she was still lying on the bed, rolling her eyes.
But when Pam came in, Eva smiled and called with difficulty, "Mom."
"Good girl." The sadness on Pam's face was easily replaced with a gentle smile, which left Charles astonished.
After all, she was a cold and ruthless businesswoman. But it turned out that she was so gentle in front of her only daughter.
"Mom, I’m hungry," said Eva.
"Okay, I'll ask the servant to cook steamed dumplings for you. It's your favorite, isn't it?" The way she talked to Eva was like she was coaxing a child. If other people heard how soft her voice was, they would find it strange.
Nodding her head like a child, Eva replied, "Okay."
Therefore, Pam ordered a servant to cook her favorite dumplings for her.
Afterwards, she looked at Charles, then at Eva again. "This is Mr. Fu. Do you know him?"
As he was introduced, Charles stepped forward and greeted her softly, "Hello, Eva."
Seeing him standing in front of her, Eva grinned. "Hello, Mr. Fu. Although I don't know you so much. I remember that you are a good friend of Jay."
"Jay?" Obviously, Charles was surprised that she called out Jay's name so naturally, but he didn't show it on his face. "Yes, we are good friends. In fact, I have met you before. You may have forgotten it."
"Sorry, I can't remember many things." Eva smiled sheepishly.
Looking at the smile on Eva's face, Charles was lost in his memory.
At that time, Eva was very simple. High school students were at their best age. They were also full of yearning for love.
One day, Charles received a phone call from Landon, saying that Jay didn't go home and asked if he was with Charles.
It was summer vacation then, and at that time, Charles had just come back from abroad. Needless to say, he hadn't seen Jay.
Without thinking too much, Charles told the truth. "No."
"He didn't tell us where he went. Where did that damn kid go?" Out of anger, Landon kept shouting on the phone. "What does he mean by not answering my call? Is he still coming back?"
"Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll find him for you." After comforting Landon, he ended the call and dialed Jay's number.
