Aunt Valerie came into the room with a bowl of chicken soup in her hand.
âCome, itâs time to drink some soup.â said Aunt Valerie.
âCan I not drink it?â Eudora George was about to throw up as she had been drinking so much chicken soup recently.
âNo!â Amos Granger laughed. âHow can you give birth to a baby if your body is weak?â
âHeâs at it again!âEudora thought.
Eudora bit her lips and stared at him, meanwhile Aunt Valerie was very happy. âAre Miss and Sir finally ready to have a baby? Isnât that a good thing? Oh no, I have to prepare some other nutritional products for Miss then.â
Eudora was speechless.
Amos changed the topic of conversation as he saw the little woman was about to have a mental breakdown.
âIâll go out for a while. You stay here with her. Donât leave her alone at all.â Amos instructed Aunt Valerie.
Aunt Valerie nodded.
Amos bowed his head and kissed Eudoraâs forehead before leaving the room.
Aunt Valerie smiled after seeing their interactions.âWhat a perfect match!â she said.
Eudora blushed, then lay down on the bed and pretended to sleep.
As soon as she fell asleep, someone knocked on the door.
Aunt Valerie hurried to open the door. It was Christopher Gellert who came with some gifts.
âIâm sorry that it took me so long to come and see you after youâve been hospitalised. I am occupied with a lot of work since the merger. â
âItâs fine!â Eudora was very happy. âHow is the project going?â
Christopher seemed to be in a good mood, especially after Eudora mentioned the project.
âTEM is a trustworthy company. They really followed the agreement we made and purchased that area. Once you are discharged from the hospital, we can start the project immediately!â said Christopher.
Eudora was stunned. âAre you guys waiting for me?â
âYes, why not? Youâre the one who thought of the idea for this project!â
She did not expect any good outcome as her work had been delayed at that time.
âThank you!â Eudora said sincerely.
âYouâre welcome!â After he finished talking, Christopher looked around the ward and couldnât help but feel amazed. âI did not expect you to be so passionate about your work. I thought you would quit your job since President Granger takes good care of you.â
âNo! Itâs my job, it has nothing to do with him. â Eudora retorted.
âThatâs good. Weâll be waiting for you to come back.â said Christopher.
â¦
At the Rosaville City Hotel.
When Amos Granger arrived, Thomas Shelby was busy greeting his guests.
When Thomas saw Amos, he walked over with a smile.
âPresident Granger, how is it going? With the cooperation of the Cooper Family, the first phase of my project was a success. Do you slightly regret it?
Amos chuckled and said, âCongratulations then.â
âI donât want you to congratulate me. You know Iâve always wanted to work with you! I still have a big project that is still pending for your approval. What do you think?â
Amos took a sip of wine and said, âWeâll see!â
âHey! When did you become so indecisive? Iâve already given my woman to you. Whatâs wrong? Canât we talk about business?â
Amos said calmly, âItâs not that we canât talk about it, but as you can see, I donât have the right to decide on company matters now. Besides, I thought you have already contacted my Second Uncle?â
Upon hearing this, Thomas burst into laughter. âPresident Granger is indeed powerful! You knew all the partners I cooperate with in private, even though you seem like you do not care. Yes, youâre right! The Cooper Family and your Second Uncle are discussing the deal with me, but I still want to work with you. â
âThen Iâm afraid I might disappoint you. This time, I chose not to get involved,â said Amos.
Thomas was stunned. After a long while, he said with a smile, âOkay, okay. I got it.â
After leaving the place, Clint Zuckerberg asked, âPresident Granger, whatâs our next move?â
Amos thought for a while and asked, âHowâs the situation at my Second Uncleâs side?â
âAccording to our people, the Second Master seemed to be eager to take this batch of goods. Recently, he has been actively gathering money everywhere!â replied Clint.
âOh?â Amos smirked. âHow about the funds that we had collected when we wanted to buy Everpeace Group?â
âThe financial department is holding on to the funds since the deal had failed.â Clint said, and a thought seemed to flash across his mind. âWait, do you mean that the Second Master would use those funds?â
âProbably.â Amos replied. Harry Granger was not an honest person. In order to achieve his purpose, he would do anything; especially now that he became the head of the company.
No wonder Harry suddenly came to the hospital yesterday to ask him about the acquisition of Everpeace Group.
âGet someone to keep an eye on him!â After saying that, Amos walked away.
â¦
At the hospital, Eudora George had a stroll with Aunt Valerie in the garden, and they saw a kid flying a kite in the yard.
She walked over and looked at it with great interest. As Aunt Valerie saw Eudoraâs expression, she smiled and asked, âMiss George, have you ever flown a kite when you were young?â
Eudora shook her head. âNo, thatâs why I like it. When I was a child, my father was always very busy with his work, and I was always alone. There was one time that he had agreed to bring me out to fly a kite during the holidays, but he ended up accompanying Kesha to the amusement park.â
At this point, Eudora paused for a moment and then said with a smile, âAunt Valerie, look at the kite, itâs flying so high up in the sky!â
She did not receive any response from Aunt Valerie who stood behind her. She hurriedly turned around and saw Amos standing there while Aunt Valerie already disappeared.
âYouâre back?â Eudora asked.
âYes!â Amos reached out and cuddled her. âDo you want to fly a kite?â
âNot really!â Eudora was a little embarrassed as her childish thoughts were unexpectedly heard by Amos.
âIâll accompany you once you recover!â Amos said again.
Eudora paused for a second, and then nodded immediately. âRemember what you just promised. I want you to make a kite with me.â
âPeople say that flying a kite that you made from scratch gives you a sense of accomplishment.â said Eudora excitedly.
Amos couldnât help but tease her, âIs it too late for me to take back my words?â
âYou canât take it back!â The little woman pretended to be angry and glared at him.
âOkay! I wonât!â Amos said.
In the evening, the doctor came to check on her. Eudora was informed that her wounds had started to heal, so she could be discharged from the hospital. However, she needed to come back to the hospital to get new medicines regularly.
Eudora had been feeling bored in the hospital, so she requested for a discharge.
The next morning, Aunt Valerie came to pack up Eudoraâs things. Amos personally drove Eudora back home.
Eudora was finally relaxed after coming home. At the thought of her work, she quickly went into her room to start working.
As soon as she turned on the laptop, it was taken away by someone.
âNaughty girl! I knew you were thinking about using the laptop as soon as you get back. The doctor asked you to come back and rest, not to work!â Amos nagged.
âIâm really bored. Just let me look at it for a while. Please, just for a while!â begged Eudora.
âJust for a while?â Amos asked.
âYes! I promise.â Eudora said.
After returning the laptop to her, Amos looked at his watch and said, âOnly half an hour. After that, youâll have to rest.â
âOkay!â As soon as Eudora finished speaking, she was already immersed in her work.
