The next day, Naomi set out on her trip to Greene City.
She went with Emma.
They only had one bad project in hand, and nothing else!
As Eudora sent her to the security check, for some unknown reason, she remembered Naomiâs childhood.
At that time, she and Naomi had come back from abroad. Naomi at that time was young and weak.
Naomi had always held her hand and did not want to be separated from her even for half a minute.
In the blink of an eye, she had grown up so much that she could leave her parentsâ side!
The more she thought about it, the more she panicked, causing Eudora to stumble a little.
Amos was shocked and asked, âWhatâs the matter? Are you not feeling well?â
Eudora shook her head, and she thought about the last time Leon had said that her body was not in good condition. He had asked her to take care of her body.
Naomiâs incident had come to an end, so it was time for her to find time to go and undergo an examination.
âAre you really alright? You donât look well.â
âIâm really fine. I want to go over there and take a rest!â
âOkay!â Amos helped her.
That afternoon, Amos went to the company to work, while Eudora contacted Leon.
âHave you finished your work?â As childrenâs voices sounded from Leonâs side, it was obvious he was enjoying his retirement.
âYes, Iâm done with my work. I just wanted to ask you if you have time to give me a check up.â
âIâm free! Come over at any time. Iâll ask my friend to arrange the best doctor for you.â
âThen, Iâll head there tomorrow morning!â Eudora said.
The next morning, Amos did not plan to go to work.
âIâve already dealt with all the urgent things yesterday! I wonât go to work today. Iâll stay at home to accompany you!â
âThereâs no need for that!â Eudora refused. âIâm not sick or ill. Why do you want to keep me company? You should take care of your own matters first!â
Amos pursed his lips and said, âAlright! Iâll go then!â
After Amos left, Eudora immediately found an excuse to slip away and went out.
After contacting Leon at the hospitalâs entrance, Leon kept mumbling as he held a child in his arms.
âWhy are you behaving like Iâm making an illegal transaction with you? Youâre just here to see a doctor!â
Eudora covered her face and explained, âI just donât want Amos to be worried about me.â
She had been with Amos for twenty years! In those twenty years, they had gone through a lot of hardships together. Actually, it had been incredibly difficult for them to walk on the same path.
She knew how important she was in Amosâs heart.
If she were to tell him that she was sick, Amos would definitely forgo everything to take care of her. Whatâs more, he would definitely be more worried about her than she was about herself.
She really did not want Amos to sacrifice too much for herself.
Wasnât it always like that in a relationship? They were considerate of each other all the time!
âAlright, I do know his temper! You can go in. My friend is very experienced.â
Leonâs phone rang before his voice died away.
On the other end was Helenâs anxious voice. She asked, âDad, where did you take Bowie?â
âWeâre outside, Iâll be back soon!â
âAlright. Weâre planning to take Bowie to my mother-in-lawâs place today. She has been waiting for half a month for this day! Weâre leaving now. Hurry up and send Bowie back..â
Leon curled his lips and said, âYour mother-in-law is more important, huh?â
âWhat? Dad, donât say that. You have been taking care of Bowie the entire time. My mother-in-law and other people also have the right to see Bowie!â
Still upset, Leon looked at Eudora and asked, âWhat do you think?â
Eudora muttered softly, âActually, Helenâs words make sense.â
âYou!â Leon had a childâs temper. He said grumpily, âAlright, Iâll send him back later.â
âDo it now!â Helen shouted from the phone.
Eudora had no choice but to say, âThen, you should go first! Youâve already arranged everything for me. I can handle this myself!â
âReally?â Leon asked.
âYes! Go ahead!â
âAlright then!â After that, Leon reluctantly took Bowie away.
Then, Eudora entered the consultation room.
â¦
Just like what Leon had mentioned, she did not have any big problems. After the doctorâs examination, he mentioned that there were only problems with her joints.
Eudora breathed a sigh of relief, and the doctor said again.
The doctor continued, âAlso, your heart isnât in too good condition, but itâs not serious. Iâll prescribe some medicine for you. You must take them on time. You canât delay treatments for small illnesses, otherwise they will be hard to cure!â
âOkay.â
After she came out from the consultation room, Eudora breathed a sigh of relief.
When she was young, she had been fearless. However, as she got older, she discovered that there were many things that human beings were afraid of.
Humans would fear pain, illness, and especially death.
She thought that if she were to die, her children and Amos would be extremely devastated!
Fortunately, she has not reached that stage yet.
As she thought about that, someone from behind suddenly called her name.
âEudora?â
Eudora was stunned. She turned around and saw an old man with grey hair. He looked haggard but had a smile on his face.
For a moment, Eudora could not remember who he was.
âYou areâ¦?â
The man felt a little disappointed, but he soon smiled again.
âIâm Eason! Donât you remember? We used to be classmates in university!â
Eudora suddenly remembered, âYou were the PE class representative in our class, the famous school hunk Eason Quill!â
Eason suddenly felt a little awkward as he said, âSchool hunk? Look at how I look now. Look at you, though! You still look young and havenât changed much! You were our campus belle back then!â
Eudora waved her hand and said, âItâs been many years! By the way, why are you here?â
Eason shook the case report in his hand and said, âWhat else could I be here for? Iâve been ill for many years! My heart, blood pressure, and everything else are not in a good condition!â
Eudora saw that his doctor was just an ordinary doctor, and asked casually.
âIsnât there a specialist to treat heart problems? Why donât you go see a specialist?â
âOh! How can we afford a specialist? I forgot, you, Eudora, are married into a good family! Now that I think about it, I have even pursued you before. Fortunately, you didnât get together with me. Otherwise, you would be suffering now!â
The corners of Eudoraâs mouth twitched before she answered, âWhat are you talking about? Why donât I help you look for a specialist?â
âIs that doable?â Easonâs eyes lit up.
âWhy not? Weâre old classmates, arenât we?â
After that, Eudora turned and walked over.
A moment later, she came out again. From a distance, she could see Easonâs back standing in the middle of the hall. As the people around him came and went, he looked desolate.
She suddenly felt a twinge of sorrow in her heart!
Eudora sighed and blinked away the sourness in her eyes. She walked over as a smile presented itself on her face.
âOkay! She agreed to it. Letâs go now!â
âOkay, thank you, Eudora.â
Eason was incredibly grateful, but Eudora was embarrassed. She quickly replied, âThis is just a small matter! How about you treat me to a meal to repay me?â
Eason had used to be proud and arrogant, so Eudora did not want him to feel burdened at the moment.
