The word âsoldâ made Tylerâs face take on a ghastly expression.
âWhat nonsense are you talking about? Iâm doing this for your own good. I saw that you and Fabian have been getting closer recently, and this is a good opportunity. Wonât it be good for both of you to work on a project together?â
Eudora sneered, âAgain, youâre saying that itâs for my own good. Why do adults always like to say that itâs for their childâs good? But, have you ever thought about whether I wanted this?â
Tyler was stumped by her question, but he quickly regained his composure and shot back at her.
âYou donât understand, youâre going to face many setbacks if you do things on your own. I donât want you to suffer like your mother and I did.â
Eudoraâs anger that she had suppressed all this while erupted instantly.
âYou canât just decide other peopleâs life just because you want it! Even if I have to suffer in the future, I want to overcome it by myself. Itâs my own life, so why do you try to control me? Besides, how do you know that my mother was very miserable? Without you, she wouldâve lived a blissful life with my father. There was no such situation as you said at all!â
Tylerâs face fell. He raised his hand and was about to hit Eudora.
However, she took a step back subconsciously and dodged his attack.
âI wonât let anyone have a second chance to hit me, including you. Even if you donât want to admit it, my mother was the happiest when she was in the George family for those few years. Everything else is just your wishful thinking. You ruined my motherâs life and destroyed me. I hate you! I will never forgive you!â
After that, she turned around and went upstairs. As soon as she reached the stairs, she heard a thump behind her, followed by the sound of the butler shouting.
âM-m-master Tyler, Master Tylerâs spitting blood! H-h-hurry up and call the ambulance!â Hodge stammered.
Eudora recalled the scene from last time. She thought that Tyler was just using the same old trick, so she chose to ignore him. It was not until the ambulanceâs siren could be heard from the outside that she started to worry.
Tyler had a lot of medical facilities in his home. Usually, the family doctors would treat him at home. Unless it was a serious condition, he wouldnât need to go to the hospital!
Now, even the ambulance was hereâ¦
Just as Eudora was lost in her thoughts, Hodge knocked on the door and asked, âMiss Eudora, do you want to come to the hospital with us? Master Tyler has been seriously ill for some time now. He has never allowed us to tell you that he is not in good health. Many years ago, when he left the organization because of Madam Emily, he was shot in the chest. Although he survived, the family has been listening to his every request to not infuriate him for so many years out of fear that he will fall sick. What you said this time was really too much.â
Eudoraâs hands trembled a little, but in the end, she opened the door.
âIâll go and have a look!â
Hodge smiled instantly and responded, âIâll ask someone to pack up your things.â
Soon, the ambulance arrived at the hospital and the doctors had already made their preparations. Tyler was sent to the operating room the moment he entered the hospital.
It was not until she was sitting outside the operating room that she realized how serious the situation was.
Eudoraâs heart was suddenly filled with all sorts of emotions. Although she had always held a deep grudge against Tyler, it wasnât like there wasnât any kinship between them.
After all, he was her biological father. She thought of the time when he patiently waited for her to have dinner together, the time when he tried his best to protect her when facing Malcom, and also the time when he was holding Sugar Bun and Juju in his arms. Those were rare times where he looked like an actual grandfather.
If something really happened to him because of her, she would definitely regret it!
Thinking of this, Eudora clenched her fists tight and took a deep breath.
Hodge, who was next to her, asked hurriedly, âMiss Eudora, why donât you go get some rest? Itâll be sufficient for me to be here!â
Eudora didnât say anything, but she still stood up.
She felt that her mind would wander too much if she sat still there. It was better for her to go out and stand for a whileâ¦
After pacing around, Eudora walked to the edge of the corridor and looked at everything outside. Suddenly, someone called her name, âEudora?â
Eudora was shocked. She turned her head and saw Gordon Georgeâs kind face.
âDadâ¦â
Gordon responded with relief, âHey!â
âIâm more than happy to be able to hear you call me Dad again!â
Eudora was also very surprised to run into Gordon here. She asked immediately, âHowâs your health? Has your illness been under control?â
Gordon smiled and answered, âOf course, itâs under control. Otherwise, how could I still remember you?â
Eudora heaved a sigh of relief, âHow can you leave just like that? Iâve been looking for you for a long time!â
âWhy are you looking for me? Iâm already very glad to see that you are able to be with your biological father! The Holt family has great power and influence. Itâs much better for you to be with them!â
Eudora shook her head and sighed, âItâs just not the same.â
After all, she recognized Gordon as her father since she was a child and had called him her dad for so many years. She experienced everything from love, hatred, tears and laughter with him. How could those change all at once?
Gordon smiled, âIt seems that you havenât figured it out yet. Why donât you come for a walk with me?â
Eudora nodded and walked along the corridor with Gordon slowly.
He said slowly, âEudora, you may have actually misunderstood your father. Actually, this was also my fault, since I didnât make it clear to you before. Do you remember when I gave you a sum of money when you went abroad? In fact, it was him who gave me that money! Otherwise, where could I get so much money?â
Eudora froze for a moment and asked, âBut why?â
âHe really didnât know that you were his daughter back then. That money was actually supposed to be for Emily. She didnât use it, so she eventually gave it to me. She told me that if I canât use the money on you in the future, I should find a chance to return it to him. Fortunately, I gave it to you to use in the end!â
Eudora pursed her lips and argued, âBut that doesnât mean he treats me well!â
âHe didnât treat you well because he didnât know of your presence in this world! Didnât you always tell me that you used to meet a strange uncle when you were small? After that incident, I never allowed you to go out alone. In fact, the person you met that time was Tyler.â
Eudora could no longer remember this matter, so it had to be from many years ago.
Then, she looked at Gordon and asked, âThen what happened?â
âWhen you came back, you told me that the uncle was going to take you out. After he heard you bring up your father, he sent you back again!â
âAt that time, Tyler originally wanted to kidnap you and force me to return Emily to him. But later, he gave up because of his heart of mercy. He is good-hearted, but he doesnât know how to express it. Eudora, since you have found your father, I hope you can get along well with him and cherish your relationship with him as daughter and father. Life is short. Donât be like Kesha and I, who only regretted it after everything was lost!â
