After buying a ton of things, Eudora and Tina exited the shopping mall together.
âYouâre going to the company this afternoon, arenât you? Iâll take care of these things and send them to Clearwater Bay.â
Eudora nodded, âOkay! Iâll have to trouble you then.â
âWhatâs there to trouble? I should do so for my niece and nephew!â At that point, Tina grew a little expectant again.
âMy report is out tomorrow, isnât it? I can go and get it all by myself. I wonât hold you back anymore!â
Finally, the matter was brought up. For a moment, Eudora felt that it was better to tell her the truth right away.
However, in the end, she could not bear to tell her.
Tina was so hopeful. If she found out now, she would be heartbroken.
âLetâs see how it goes tomorrow. I may not be very busy at that time.â
âAlright!â
After the two of them parted, Eudora did not return to the company. Instead, she called Christopher.
Christopherâs current situation was not too good as well. When the call was connected, it seemed that there had been a loud dispute on the other end of the call. Christopher sounded a little impatient as he answered the phone.
âWho is it?â
âItâs me!â Eudora said.
Christopher paused for a moment before replying, âWhatâs the matter?â
âI want to talk to you about Tina.â
Another roar came from the phone, âChristopher, did you hear what I said?â
It seemed that it came from Christopherâs elder brother, Anthony Gellert. Tina had mentioned a few days ago that Anthonyâs wife had been pregnant for two months.
According to Master Gellertâs will, if two of his sons gave birth to children within a year, the wealth would be equally divided between them.
If only his elder brother gave birth to a child within the year, Christopher would lose the right to inherit the wealth.
His brother had probably seen that Christopher was soon running out of time, so he became so arrogant, eh?
Eudora frowned, but Christopher had already spoken.
âIâll meet you at the café down your company in 20 minutes!â
After that, the call ended.
When Eudora heard Christopherâs tired voice, she could not help thinking of the first time she had met Christopher years ago.
At that time, Christopher was not favored by Master Gellert.
However, at that time, he had come out to start his own business, and he was hopeful for the future.
However, now, he was in a state of dejection.
Christopher moved quickly. After 20 minutes, he was already there.
As expected by Eudora, not only did his voice sound decadent, but he also gave people a feeling of dejection.
Seeing Eudora looking at him, Christopher twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment.
âWhatâs wrong? Do you feel like you donât recognize me anymore?â
Eudora shook her head, âHowâs that possible! I just feel that you should go a little easier on yourself.â
Christopher forced a smile, âI thought that I wouldnât have to care about the companyâs matters! Itâs all just glory and wealth that I donât need. As long as Tina and I are together, I wonât care about anything else. However, seeing Anthony flaunting himself in the company every day and ruining all the industries that Dad has worked hard on, how can I not be sad? Itâs just that I have no right to speak up at all now.â
Eudora frowned. It turned out that it wasnât only Tina who wanted to have a child!
Seeing that she did not speak, Christopher sighed again.
âDid I scare you? I canât help complaining when I meet a friend. Tina is quite pure-hearted, so I donât often want to tell her about these things so that she wonât worry. When she gets worried, all her emotions will be written on her face, and she wonât even eat anymore.â
While mentioning Tina, Christopherâs face turned a little better, with a hint of doting.
Eudora sighed silently in her heart and suddenly hesitated again.
âDo you have something to tell me?â Christopher saw through her intentions, âIs it about Tina?â
Although they had a very good friendship in the past, ever since Eudora and Amos had gotten together, they rarely contacted each other.
This time, Eudora had taken the initiative to look for him. It had to be something to do with Tina.
âWhat happened to Tina? Whatâs wrong?â
As Christopher spoke, he hurriedly got his phone out to give Tina a call.
âNo, sheâs fine! Donât call her!â
Christopher put his phone down, âWhatâs it then?â
The matter had to be said. Even if she was in a dilemma, she had to face the reality. She felt that she should find out about Christopherâs opinions, especially since it was a problem related to Tina She took out the examination report from her bag and pushed it towards Christopher.
âTina really wants to have a child. You should know that better than me. Yesterday, I accompanied her for a body examination. Here is the report.â
Christopher picked it up and looked at it. He didnât know much about medicine, but he saw the words âcongenital endometrial hyperplasiaâ.
âIs this bad?â
âYes!â Eudora nodded. âThe doctor said that the probability of a successful pregnancy is almost zero!â
Christopher paused. After a long while, he answered in a low voice, âOh!â
Failing to see his attitude, Eudora grew anxious.
âI came to you not because I want you to do anything about it. You should know Tinaâs inner feelings better than I do. This kind of thing is not something she wants, and it is not within her control as well.
âIf she finds out about this, sheâll do everything she can to have a child with you, but the result will only hurt her even more. If you have any thoughts in your heart, I hope that youâll tell her clearly, or you could tell me. As her sister, I can always decide for her. Donât let her keep on making guesses because that would be too cruel to her!â
To make things even clearer, Tina was still an orphan after all. Behind her smile, there was a fragile heart to be carefully guarded!
Christopher did not utter a word. He held the piece of paper tightly in his hand and choked out a sob.
âI know! I will tell Tina directly.â
After watching Christopher leave, Eudora sighed.
At first, she thought that it was a tough journey to be with Amos. But to her surprise, the people around her were also in a rough situation.
When Eudora returned to her office, she opened the door to see Amos already waiting there.
Seeing her return, Amos breathed an obvious sigh of relief.
âWhere have you been for so long?â
Upon suddenly being fussed over, Eudoraâs originally gloomy mood eased a little.
She gave Amos a simple run down about Tinaâs situation and said, âI now know that weâre actually really lucky.â
Although they had experienced countless obstacles of the outside world, the two of them had always been very resolute.
No matter what, Amos had always stood by her side and had never given up.
She hoped that Christopher and Tina could also do the same! She hoped that they could overcome this obstacle!
