After coaxing Eudora for a while, Naomi managed to persuade her to eat a few mouthfuls of food. She was finally much calmer.
However, it could be seen with the naked eye that she had lost some weight.
Naomi was incredibly worried. While Eudora was on a walk with Eddison, she sat in front of Amosâs bed.
She said, âDad, hurry up and wake up! Mom misses you so much that sheâs about to fall sick! Are you really willing to let her go on like that?â
Naomi sniffed, âMom was so beautiful when she was young. She looks really pretty now, too. If you donât wake up soon, Iâll find someone else for her! When that time comes, donât regret it!â
There was still no movement from the person on the bed.
Naomi sighed in disappointment. When she turned around, a hand suddenly grabbed her sleeve.
Naomiâs heart skipped a beat of joy. When she turned around, she saw Amos staring at her.
He yelled, âDonât you dare!â
âDad, youâre awake!â Naomi was incredibly excited as she exclaimed, âIâll tell Mom right away!â
âYou arenât allowed to find another man for your mother, understand?â
âOkay! Okay!â Naomi said as she ran out excitedly.
âMom, Dad is awake!â
Amos laid on his bed and looked up at the ceiling above his head. He felt as if he was in a dream, as he had always felt that his body was quite healthy. He had always been concerned about Eudoraâs health.
However, he did not expect that he would be the first to fall ill.
Footsteps sounded outside the door. Amos stopped thinking and looked in the direction of the sound.
He saw Eudora staggering in, and her eyes were red. His heart tightened, and just as he was about to reach out his hand, Eudora had already punched him on the shoulder.
It was a very light punch, and tears fell from her face.
âHow dare you wake up now? Liar!â
Amos reached out and grabbed her hand. Then, he combed her hair which was in a mess.
âWhy have you lost weight?â
âIsnât that all your fault? You left me alone and laid there the whole time. You scared me to death, do you know?â
Naomi quietly wiped her eyes, closed the door and left, leaving some space for the two of them.
âIâm sorry,â Amos reached out and hugged Eudora, letting her lie on his chest.
âItâs my fault this time.â
If he had not apologized, Eudora would not sob pathetically. However, since he had apologized, her tears fell like a waterfall.
âI was really scared! I was afraid that you wouldnât wake up. I canât live without you! Iâm not lying about that!â
Amos tightened his embrace.
âItâs the same with me.â
âI canât live without you, too!â Amos sighed in his heart.
After embracing each other for a while, there was a knock on the door from outside.
âDad, the doctor is here to examine you!â
Eudora quickly got up, saying, âThatâs right, let the doctor examine you quickly! You must treat your body.â
Amused, Amos asked, âWhat about you? Iâve been laying in bed for the past few days. Did you take your medicine? Did you eat your meals?â
âYes, Iâve eaten them all!â Eudora found a chair and sat down beside the bed. âNow, itâs my turn to supervise you!â
âGood! Youâre welcome to supervise.â
â¦
After a week in the hospital, Amos could finally be discharged from the hospital.
After Amos fell ill, Naomi noticed that her parentsâ roles seemed to have switched.
In the past, Amos was the one reminding Eudora to take her medicine and her meals.
However, at the moment, it was the opposite. Every day, Eudora got up in the morning to exercise with Amos. Then, she would remind him to eat breakfast, and then drag him to go for a walk!
Rachel could not help but sigh when she saw the two treating each other so well.
âItâd be great if we acted the same way towards each other when weâre old.â
Eddison pursed his lips and said, âWe will! The Granger family has romance in our blood!â
âShut up!â Naomi exposed him. âHowever, if you dare to treat Rachel badly, Mom and I will not let you go!â
âThen, Iâm relieved! Naomi, Eddison listens to you the most.â
Rachel smiled.
âThen, when are the two of you going to collect your marriage certificate?â Naomi reminded.
âDonât worry, weâve returned this time to do exactly just that!â
Then, Eddison changed the topic, âEnough about me! When will you get me a brother-in-law? How are you and Culver?â
Naomi was rendered speechless.
âI still have something to do. Iâll leave first!â
âWhat? Donât go!â
âThatâs enough!â Rachel patted him, âDonât tease her like that!â
âYou donât understand! Actually, she hasnât gotten over her past.â
In the room, Naomi took out her mobile phone and looked at it. She had gotten several calls from Culver. She looked at the phone and put it down again.
â¦
After staying on the island for a week, Amosâs condition had stabilized.
At night, Eudora urged Amos, âItâs nine oâclock. Itâs time for your video conference to end! You need to rest!â
The employees on the other side of the meeting were already used to it.
Upon hearing her words, they prepared to wrap up the meeting. Unhappy, Amos said, âWhat are you guys doing? Iâm not finished yet!â
One of them persuaded, âPresident Granger, letâs discuss this tomorrow!â
âIsnât it more convenient for me to speak now?â Amos frowned.
His employees did not show any emotion on their faces, but they were laughing inside. They all thought to themselves, âYou know what your situation you are in, but why do you still insist on being stubborn?â
Indeed, in the next second, Eudora came to his side.
âI feel dizzy!â
Amos immediately turned off his computer, saying, âWhere do you feel unwell? Iâll take you to take a break!â
Everyone shrugged their shoulders as they had seen it coming.
After shutting down the computer, Eudora pulled Amos and said, âIâm not feeling unwell. Come here and sit down. I have something to tell all of you.â
âWhatâs the matter?â Amos and the others became curious.
âItâs time for you all to return to your own lives. Itâs been a long time since we have stayed here, therefore Iâm planning to return to Rosaville City too.â
âI donât agree with this!â Amos was the first one to stop her, explaining, âThe air here is good, and itâs suitable for you to recuperate.â
âYou still fell sick here, though.â
Eudoraâs words left Amos speechless, and Eddison and Naomi could not help but snicker.
Amos glared at Eddison in displeasure, âYouâre being disrespectful!â
Exasperated, Eddison thought to himself, âIs he picking on the weak? Why didnât he say that to Naomi and Mom?â However, he did not dare to voice his thoughts out!
âEddison and Rachel are going to graduate this year! Now that Naomi is back in Rosaville City, itâs a great time for us to go back, right?â Eudora said.
With Eudoraâs reminder, Amosâs eyes immediately lit up.
âYouâre right! Then, letâs go back! Iâll sort out the companyâs situation and hand over those matters to Naomi and Eddison!â
Naomi and Eddison were surprised.
âDad, are you kidding?â
âIâm not! This is training for both of you! The time has come for you two to take over the company!â
The two of them were rendered speechless.
They thought to themselves, âWhatâs going on? Our freedom is being taken away from us so soon!â
