Chapter 289: Chapter 289 What Does Happiness Mean?

“Take your medicine!” Eudora George continued to coax him.

“I’ll talk to Juju tonight.”

Old Master Granger admitted that he was interested in what Eudora said. He had been dreaming of a wonderful life like that for a long time.

He immediately extended his hand, took the medicine, and swallowed it.

Eudora gave him some water and said, “Here. Have some water.”

After taking the medicine and drinking the water, the Old Master gradually calmed down. After that, he spoke proudly.

“Don’t think that I would be nice to you after this just because of what you said. I don’t like you, so I won’t go easy on you!”

Eudora was amused, “Ah. So you do know that you’re not making things easy for me. Not bad.”

The Old Master was speechless.

The servant had come back with the doctor, both of them were gasping for breath.

He examined the Old Master hurriedly. The Old Master then waved his hand and said, “I’m fine. You don’t have to examine me!”

“Old Master…” The doctor wanted to say something but he stopped on second thought, “I’ve told you before that you must have a check-up every day as your condition has yet to stabilize.”

The servant next to him also nodded, “Why don’t you take the examination you real quick since you seemed to have an attack just a few moments ago?”

“I’ve already said that I don’t need to be examined!” the Old Master started to lose his temper again as he spoke.

Eudora, who was next to him, coughed lightly, “Old Master, don’t you want to…”

Before she even finished her words, the Old Master immediately changed his mind.

“Fine! Since you want to examine me, then go ahead!”

The servant and the doctor were speechless. Didn’t he just say that he did not want to be examined? Wasn’t he adamant about it just a while ago?

However, they did not dare to speak out loud. After that, the doctor quickly examined the Old Master. Soon, the doctor spoke with surprise.

“Old Master’s condition seemed to have stabilized for now. This is amazing!”

Eudora was stunned, “Are you saying that the Old Master is getting better?”

“It’s not much, but at least there is an improvement. As long as his condition doesn’t deteriorate, he should be good for now. Did you guys change the Old Master’s medication?”

Eudora shook her head, “No!”

“Perhaps the Old Master had suddenly seen hope in his life? For many patients, hope is more important than taking medicine. If the family members were to spend more time with the Old Master, we might be able to temporarily stabilize his condition.”

Eudora nodded and said, “Doctor, I understand. Thank you!”

After sending the doctor away, Eudora brought the Old Master home.

When they arrived at the door of the house, the Old Master kept reminding her of her promise, saying, “Remember what you said. If you don’t fulfill your promise, I will not let you go!”

Eudora laughed helplessly, “Okay, don’t worry!”

…

It had been a long day. Eudora was a little tired when she got back to her place.

She took off her coat, lay down on the couch, and fell asleep.

When Amos brought Juju home, he thought that Eudora was not home yet. However, as soon as he entered the door, he saw her sleeping on the couch. He frowned and walked toward the couch and saw her tired face.

“Where did you go today? Why are you so tired?”

Eudora, who had run around the bookstore that day, did not wake up at all, and thus did not answer his question.

After watching for her a while, Amos picked up the quilt next to her and covered her with it.

It was already dark by the time Eudora woke up. The room was very quiet. She rubbed her eyes to get rid of the sleepiness and saw that the light in Juju’s room was switched on.

The little girl was doing her homework. Amos was sitting beside her with a notebook in his hand as he checked her progress from time to time.

The pair looked extremely harmonious, just like a painting.

After watching for a while, Eudora sat up and went to turn on the light hurriedly.

“You guys haven’t had dinner yet, have you? I’ll prepare it right away.”

“Mommy…” Juju got up and ran over to hug her leg, “You’re tired. I don’t need you to cook for me.”

Eudora laughed, “I’m fine. I just fell asleep on the couch.”

“Our dinner is already ready. Let’s head downstairs and eat!” Amos Granger said.

Eudora was stunned, “Did you prepare it?”

Amos nodded and said, “Let’s see if it’s to your liking.”

Many years ago, Amos had taught himself to cook because he wanted to cook for Eudora. However, it had been a long time since he last cooked. He started picking it up again and he was pretty good at it.

“Wow, honey, you’re the best!”

Amos raised the corner of his mouth and said, “That’s my girl. Let’s go!”

There were already dishes on the dining table downstairs. There were vegetables, diced meat, chicken, and fish. The food was cooked in various styles. The one thing that all the dishes had in common was that they were all cut into squares.

Eudora was a little speechless, “Did you cut these?”

“Yeah, why? Does it not look good?” Amos asked.

“No, no. It’s good. It’s really good!” She really didn’t expect this guy to have obsessive-compulsive disorder.

She picked up her fork, poked one piece of meat, and placed it into her mouth. Her eyes lit up, “Not bad, it’s delicious.”

“Daddy is amazing!” Juju gave him a burst of support.

Amos laughed and said, “You two flatter me,” He didn’t know that he could feel this happy cooking for his family.

While eating, Eudora asked Juju about her day at school. Juju was getting used to going to school now. She loved it. The little girl was probably just like Amos. She wasn’t afraid of strangers.

Moreover, the more she grew, the bossier she became. Eudora thought that she didn’t behave like little girls usually did. Instead, she was like a female boss.

However, she still had a sense of responsibility and she had not picked up any bad habits, so Eudora just let her be.

As she spoke, Juju started feeling a little tired.

Amos carried her into his arm and began to feed her.

The man looked warm and gentle, just like a family man should. He didn’t look fierce like he did during the day.

In particular, at this moment, when he was holding his child, it reminded Eudora of a popular term: Superdad.

It turned out that Amos was a very attractive superdad. Eudora’s admiring eyes fell on him, and her sight lingered longer and longer. However, she did not realize that her head was leaning on his shoulder.

“Amos, what does happiness mean to you?”

Amos didn’t expect her to ask such a strange question. He was a little flustered, “Hm? Why did you ask this question all of a sudden? What happened?”

“I’m just asking,” Eudora said. She felt that her exchange with the Old Master earlier had enlightened her somehow.

Hearing this, Amos’s fingers stopped and he immediately looked at her nervously, “What’s going on? You look very tired today. Where did you go this morning?”

“I’m fine!” Eudora shook her head and smiled, “I accompanied the Old Master to the bookstore. In fact, I felt pity the Old Master. Why don’t you take a day off tomorrow and spend it with him? We’ll go somewhere. I heard that the maple leaves out in the suburbs have changed color now that it is autumn. It’s a good day for the family to spend together.”
