Chapter 1218: Chapter 1218 He’s Angry With Me

Amos hung up on the call and picked up the medicine that Eudora had not taken just then. He poured a glass of water and walked over to Eudora.

“You haven’t finished the medicine yet!”

Eudora looked at the medicine in distress, pleading, “I think my body is much better now. I don’t need to take it!”

“That won’t do,” Amos remained strong-willed as always.

“This medicine is good for your health!”

“Medicines are drugs too!” Eudora was still putting on a fight. “You want to poison me to death, don’t you?”

Amos said helplessly, “Are you afraid of drugs, or do you want to suffer instead?”

Eudora was rendered speechless.

“Either way, I won’t take it! It’s too big of a pill to swallow. I know you’re trying to poison me to death, so that you can find yourself a younger wife!”

Amos was dumbfounded.

“There are no younger girls who are more beautiful than you.”

“That’s true!” Eudora nodded, and immediately looked into Amos’s smiling eyes. She realized that she had been tricked again.

“I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Hurry up and get out of here. Don’t affect my mood!”

“Then, take your medicine! I won’t bother you if you take your medicine! Be a good girl!” Amos said helplessly. “I’ll allow you a cup of ice cream after you’ve taken your medicine.”

“Really?” Since Eudora was ill, Amos had always said that ice cream was unhealthy and he forbade her from taking it.

“Of course!”

“Alright then! I’ll take the medicine!” Eudora asked again when the medicine was near her mouth. “Are you really going to give me ice cream?”

“Yes!”

“I love you so much, hubby!”

Amos thought to himself, “It turns out that my love is not as valuable as a cup of ice cream.”

…

After Eudora took the medicine, she got the ice cream that she was promised. After eating the ice cream, she was in a good mood, therefore she took the initiative to go grocery shopping with Amos.

Amos was naturally willing to do so. She was in poor health and it was good for her health to take a stroll under the sun.

The two of them walked slowly under the sun. After a while, Amos suddenly reached out to hold Eudora.

“I forgot to take your coat out. The weather isn’t good these days. Are you feeling a little cold?”

Eudora was stunned, “No! It’s quite hot. I’m sweating.”

Amos looked at her in surprise. It was true that there was a little sweat on her temples. He frowned and subconsciously clenched his fingers.

“What’s the matter?” Eudora saw that Amos had suddenly stopped talking.

“I’m fine!” Amos shook his head. “Yesterday, you said that you wanted to eat some pastries. You can pick them out later.”

“Alright!” Eudora was so happy that she went to grab some pastries. Amos looked at the sun again, and he felt a little cold. What was going on?

…

In the evening, Amos suddenly made a suggestion after dinner.

“You said that you’ve missed the children. Why don’t I arrange for them to come here? Would you like that?”

Eudora nodded, “Sure!”

However, on second thought, she shook her head and said, “Forget it, they must be really busy. Besides, we’re not doing too bad right now.”

“No matter how busy they are, shouldn’t it be natural for them to accompany you occasionally?”

Eudora asked curiously, “What’s wrong with you? You’re the one who didn’t allow them to come here. Why are you letting them come now? Are you sick of me already?”

“No, I’m not.”

“Then, why are you behaving like this?”

“Forget it! Let’s not talk about it,” Amos shook his head and turned to the study room.

Eudora sat there for a while. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Amos was acting a little strange. She had been with him for so many years, so when had he ever acted like that?

Was it because she had been too capricious that she had made him angry?

Although Eudora was capricious, it was only in front of her beloved that she acted that way. She still knew what his limits were.

She thought that Amos might be tired, therefore she prepared some fruits and went upstairs. She thought it would be good to coax him out of his temper.

She knocked on the door of the study and called out, “Amos?”

There was no movement from the inside. She continued, “I prepared some fruits for you! Would you like to have some?”

“No thanks!”

Amos spoke, but his voice was filled with forbearance. Eudora immediately felt that something was wrong and directly pushed the door open.

As expected, she saw Amos sitting in a corner, shivering.

“What’s the matter?”

Eudora panicked, and threw the fruit in her hand directly to the ground. She ran over and looked at Amos.

“I’m fine…” Amos shook his head.

“How can you be fine? I’ll call the doctor right away!”

After that, as soon as she turned around, Amos fainted.

Frightened out of her wits, Eudora called out, “Amos! Amos!”

…

On the other side, Clint had already arranged for Naomi to enter the company. However, she received a call from the doctor before she went to the company.

“Your father is ill! Your mother isn’t in a very good condition now. If you kids have time, you’d better come and take a look!”

The doctor gave them a call personally.

Naomi immediately panicked and booked a flight ticket to the island.

On the way, she called Eddison and Rachel, who were abroad, and asked them to come back soon.

In the past years, although it seemed like Amos had poured all his attention on Eudora, he still loved his children.

They could feel his paternal love!

Since Amos had fallen ill, it was as if the mountain, which was supporting them, had collapsed.

How could they not be worried?

Naomi finally made it to the island before night fell.

Amos had already been sent to the hospital. Naomi was picked up by the doctor.

As they walked there, the doctor did not forget to remind her, “Miss George, your father’s condition has stabilized for the time being. However, the cause of his illness is still unknown, therefore he hasn’t woken up yet. I hope you all will be mentally prepared!”

Naomi was about to explode, but she held back her fear.

“Where’s Mom?”

“She is inside.”

After that, Naomi ran in quickly.

In the corridor, Naomi saw a thin figure sitting on a chair from afar. The figure was looking straight ahead as if they were a statue.

When she got closer to her, she found that Eudora’s hair seemed to be much grayer than before.

Only then did Naomi realize that her parents had really aged.

Eudora was once the most beautiful woman in Rosaville City, but even she could not escape the traces of time.

She said in a trembling voice, “Mom…” Eudora turned around and looked at Naomi.

“You’re here!”

“Mom, are you alright? Why haven’t you combed your hair? Look at your shoes too!”

Only then did Eudora see that she was only wearing one slipper.

“Oh my, but it’s alright! Aren’t you tired from your journey here? You should take a rest. I’ll stay here and keep watch.”

“I’m not tired! However, you’ve been here since last night. Are you hungry? I’ll get you something to eat!”

“No need, I’m not hungry!”

“You still need to eat a little. If you don’t eat, Dad will be distressed when he wakes up!”

Naomi’s words seemed to remind her of something, and Eudora suddenly came to her senses.

“Go home and get my medicine. I want to take it!”

“What kind of medicine are you talking about?”

“It’s the medicine I take every day. Amos must be angry with me! It’s my fault that I didn’t take the medicine! If I take them, he will surely wake up!”

Naomi looked at Eudora’s terrified expression and suddenly felt a lump in her throat.
