Chapter 775: Chapter 775 Hope Is Around The Corner

“A dead end lies ahead, but hope is just around the corner!”

After Eudora finished speaking, Christopher was stunned, “Do you mean that… You had already planned for this?”

She did not answer. Instead, she turned to look in Tina’s direction.

“How are you and Tina doing?”

Christopher saw that she was confident, so he stopped dwelling on the matter. However, upon the mention of Tina, he could not help but feel somewhat frustrated.

“Tina is doing well, it’s just that she still refuses to give up on the idea of curing my supposed ‘troubles’.”

Eudora pursed her lips and asked, “Do you feel annoyed with her?”

He paused for a moment and responded, “Occasionally! A human’s temper will also turn bad sometimes.”

“However, I’m very envious of you two,” Eudora replied.

“Hmm?” Christopher turned to her.

Eudora replied with a faint smile, “If only Amos were still here! Even if he were to be angry with me every single day, it would still be better than me being all alone now.”

She was smiling, but her eyes were filled with sorrow.

He seemed to come to an epiphany and responded, “I’ve understood something now. Thank you.”

As they were talking, Tina, who was happily playing around over at the other side, started calling out to Christopher again.

“Come on, look at how happy these two kids are! I see a field in front, so shall we head over there to explore?”

Eudora quickly got up and said, “Tina, stop fooling around.”

“Don’t worry, Eudora. I’ll take care of the two kids!” she replied.

Christopher nodded to Eudora as well, and then she saw them off.

After the two of them left, a call from Charlie came in.

“Madam, just as you’ve instructed, my people have been keeping an eye on any movement within the Valiant East Company. After you left, Sebastian held a press conference to announce his charity project.”

“Oh?” Eudora was taken by surprise. “He’s doing charity?”

“Yes!” Charlie replied. “There’s already a crowdfunding program on the internet, saying that it’s to compensate those who had faced losses from purchasing the Valiant East Group’s stocks. He’s leading them to do a charity project.”

She frowned and asked, “He wants to use this method to fulfil the gamble?”

Charlie nodded, “Looks like it! It’s only been online for two hours, but the funds raised have already exceeded a million dollars!”

“Alright, I understand!”

Eudora pursed her lips, and then asked, “Have you done the other thing I told you to do?”

“Yes, I have. All the staff of Tyly Company are on vacation now. As for the Valiant East Catering, I’ve already spoken with Uriah. He had been very close with President Granger, so he agreed to it immediately.”

“Very good.” She nodded, “Thank you for your hard work.”

After hanging up, Eudora got up and walked over to the field where Tina and the others had gone to.

When the two children saw her coming, they threw themselves at her excitedly.

Eudora took the opportunity to make eye contact with Christopher and suggested, “I’ll take care of the children. You and Tina can go for a walk over there!”

Tina’s heart was overly riddled with things right now, especially the matter concerning children. She needed a chance to understand that their own time as a couple was beautiful too!

After the two left, Eudora played with the children again for a bit, then headed back to prepare dinner.

“Juju, look after your little brother. I’m going to cook dinner.”

After she washed the rice, she discovered that Juju had already nicely picked the vegetables. Sugar Bun was following behind her while blowing bubbles, looking as though he was seeking praise too.

“Didn’t Mom tell the two of you to play outside?”

Juju shook her head and replied, “I want to take care of Mom.”

Eudora was exasperated. She replied, “There’s no need to do that. Mom can take care of herself. You’re still little.”

“I’m not little anymore. Dad said that Sugar Bun and I must take good care of Mom. Even though Uncle Christopher said that Dad won’t come back anymore, but if we’re all obedient and well-behaved, maybe Dad will miss us and come back!”

Eudora’s nose twitched. When Juju had previously said that Amos would not be coming back, Eudora thought that she had already understood what that meant.

Now, it seemed that Juju had not quite understood it yet. She was still expecting Amos to return…

That was right, she was just a child! How could she have understood?

Eudora sniffed and said, “Alright, then let’s stick together! We’ll stick together from now on.”

“Okay!”

Just as the family of three had finished preparing dinner, Tina and Christopher came rushing back from outside.

“Oh, it’s terrible! Eudora, do you have a medical kit?”

Eudora’s heart tightened, “What happened?”

“Christopher got injured and lost a lot of blood…”

Hopelessness engulfed her. Eudora was stupefied.

“I’ll go get the medical kit…”

Everything had already been well-prepared by Amos previously, and Eudora immediately took out all of it.

“If the wound is too big, stitches will be required. I don’t know how to do that either. How about I call Charlie to send Doctor Leon over? He’s more experienced…”

“Ah, don’t do that.”

Christopher quickly stopped her, but she shook her head and insisted, “Don’t push yourself. Your health is more important!”

Before she even finished her sentence, Christopher had already lifted his finger up.

“I really don’t need it…”

Eudora fixed her eyes and saw a wound half a centimetre long on Christopher’s finger.

Eudora was confused.

“Is this the wound that shed a lot of blood?”

Christopher nodded and glanced at Tina with a helpless yet doting look.

However, Tina was still extremely nervous, “Why are you lifting it up? Quick, I’ll disinfect the wound for you.”

Eudora stared at her speechlessly.

So did Juju. She remarked, “Auntie Tina, Uncle Chris’ wound isn’t even as big as mine!”

Tina frantically turned to look at Juju and asked, “You’re hurt too? Where?”

“Mine has already recovered! I didn’t even use a single bandage,” Juju replied, a little proudly.

Tina gave her a hard flick on the forehead and lectured, “You silly child, you can’t do that! Next time this happens, you must tell Auntie Tina, otherwise it’ll be very serious if the wound gets infected!

Christopher awkwardly added, “Your Auntie Tina is always exaggerating stuff like this. Don’t mind her.”

Juju instantly laughed and commented, “I know, the both of you are actually making public displays of affection!”

Eudora quickly covered Juju’s mouth, “Don’t speak nonsense!”

“But it’s true, Mom and Dad used to show off their love like this too!”

Upon hearing that, Tina and Christopher both paused. After fixing up Christopher’s wound, Tina quickly explained herself to Eudora.

“Big Sis, it wasn’t intentional…”

Eudora shook her head and answered, “Look at the two of you! Am I so fragile? The food is ready. Let’s eat!”

“Okay!” Christopher quickly defused the awkwardness in the air. “Your cooking is the best. I must eat more today.”

Tina nodded with a smile and concurred, “Me too.”

Eudora looked at the two of them with resignation, her gaze then falling onto the stack of medical kits. Memories of when Amos had been preparing those came to her mind.

Back then, he had spoken to her with resignation and adoration laced in his tone, “We have a muddle-headed woman at home, so of course we have to prepare more medicine. This way, there won’t ever be a risk of a big wound!”

Eudora closed the medical kit.

She murmured under her breath, “I won’t be muddle-headed anymore! Don’t worry.”
