Doctor Leon sighed.

In the end, he said only one sentence, "People are like candles. One day, all their tears for that one person will disappear."

Eudora laid on the bed for half a day in a daze. She felt as if her palm was being held tightly by something, and she was sweating profusely. She struggled for a while as she felt a little uncomfortable, and then she heard the gentle voice of Amos.

Then, she heard Amos' gentle voice, "You're awake?"

Eudora opened her eyes. It was dark in the room, and no lights were turned on. However, she still noticed Amos's eyes at a glance. They looked moist.

"What's the matter?" she asked.

"I'm fine. Are you hungry? I'll ask Cindy to bring you something to eat."

"It's okay, there's no need for that!" Eudora shook her head as she explained, "I'm not hungry yet!"

Amos did not insist anymore. He held Eudora's hand and tucked her in.

"You used to say that you wanted to live in the mountains with me, right? I'm not busy recently, so would you like me to go with you?"

Eudora shook her head and said, "That was my wish when I grew old, not now. Naomi and Sugar Bun are still young. I haven't heard anything from Naomi and there's no one to take care of Sugar Bun. How can I have peace of mind to go to the mountains?"

Amos frowned.

"They have both grown up. It's time for them to live their own lives."

"No matter how big they are, they're still my children!" Eudora shook her head again. She added, "What's wrong? Don't you love our children?"

She was adorable as she acted like she was angry. However, she was actually trying to be petty with him.

He liked the way she was being coquettish. There was a hint of coyness in her eyes, as if she was the young girl from many years ago.

Her whole body was full of vitality.

Amos suddenly felt warm in his heart. He said sincerely, "Of course I love them."

"However, I love you more! For me, you are not only my wife, but also a part of me. I can't imagine if I were to lose a part of myself, would I still be able to live?" Amos thought to himself.

"You love them and yet you want to go to the mountains with me? You're not being a good father!"

Exasperated, Amos said, "Alright, then we won't go to the mountains."

"That's more like it!" After Eudora said those few words, she felt a little tired again.

Amos stretched out his hand and held her tightly, saying, "I'll accompany you. Sleep for a while longer!"

Eudora nodded and soon fell asleep in a daze. Amos lowered his head to look at her sleeping face and gently touched her forehead.

In the dark, he thought about something carefully in his mind.

After a while, he slowly got up and went to the balcony to make a phone call.

"Clint, please help me replace a woman with an equal social standing and is a suitable marriage prospect, preferably someone who is gentle and has a virtuous personality!"

Clint was stunned. He asked, "Mr. Granger, what do you..."

"Eudora is sick!" Amos sighed and said, "I..."

"No!" Clint's face was filled with bitterness. He said, "Mr. Granger, I know that Mrs. Granger is not in good health now, but you can't do this to her. Mrs. Granger treats you so well, how could you do this to her a a time like this?"

Amos was confused.

"What are you talking about?"

"Isn't it?" Clint looked at Anya, who was praising him, and spoke even louder.

"We respect Mrs. Granger a lot. You can't replace a mistress behind Mrs. Granger's back!"

"Shut up!" Amos said coldly, "I'm looking for a suitable woman for Sugar Bun!"

"Ah?" Clint covered his face and asked, "It's for Young Master Eddison? He is still young, right? In fact, there is no need for him to get married so early." "That's none of your business!"

Amos did not want to explain himself anymore!

Clint touched his nose with dejection and said, "Okay, I'll do it immediately!"

After Amos hung up on the call, he breathed a sigh of relief and made another call to Sugar Bun.

"Your mother is ill. If you're not busy, come back."

Naomi also received a phone call from Sugar Bun.

"Dad told me that Mom is sick. Are you aware of that?"

Naomi was stunned as she asked, "I'm not! Is it serious?"

"I'm not very clear about the details, but it must be quite serious for Dad to ask me to return. Naomi, are you going back?"

"Of course!" Naomi jumped out of the bed directly and said, "I'll book the flight ticket right now!"

At the door of Culver's bedroom, Naomi was just about to knock when she saw Loraine walking over.

"Miss George, Young Master Culver has just fallen asleep. Please don't disturb him!"

Naomi was a little anxious as she explained her intentions, "I have something urgent to deal with at home. I have to inform him that I need to go home."

"Then, I'll pass the message to him! Young Master Culver has been in poor health recently. It's better if you don't disturb him!"

"Alright then!" Naomi did not want to waste her time arguing with Loraine, therefore she went back to pack her things in a hurry. Fortunately, she was able to book her flight ticket in time, and soon she got on the plane back to Rosaville City.

The next day, before dawn, Eudora smelled a familiar scent from the kitchen as soon as she woke up.

"Naomi? Is that you?"

Naomi came out from the kitchen with food in her hand and said, "Mom, you're amazing. I have just finished cooking yet you could smell it immediately!"

"Why have you returned?" Eudora's face still looked a little pale, but she was in high spirits after seeing Naomi.

"Can't I come back for no reason at all? I miss you, Mom!"

"Of course you can!" Eudora stretched her hand out and caressed the back of Naomi's hand. She said, "You've gotten better at cooking now, so you must have gone through a lot when you were away, didn't you?"

"No, I didn't!" Naomi shook her head and said, "I'm fine! Look at my hands. They're much smoother now!"

It was all because of that freak Culver who had given her that bottle of hand cream.

Culver had mentioned that the hand cream was expensive, therefore she deliberately used a lot of it every day. She did not expect that it was a blessing in disguise as her hands felt better than before. Eudora was relieved and said, "That's good! Let me have a taste of your cooking."

Eudora took a bite and praised, "It really tastes much better! This isn't too bad either. From now on, you won't starve yourself anymore!"

As they talked, Naomi's mobile phone rang. She did not want Eudora to be disappointed, therefore she instantly rejected the call.

In Greene City, Culver woke up in the morning and called Naomi's mobile phone in a daze.

He was going to ask her to cook a meal, but Naomi had rejected his call.

He felt a little depressed, therefore he could not fall back to sleep instantly. He got up and kicked Naomi's door.

There was no movement from inside the room even after he kicked the door twice.

Loraine heard the commotion and rushed over to inform him.

"Young Master Culver, you're up? I'll prepare whatever you want to eat."

"Where is Naomi?" "Miss George has something to attend to, therefore she left last night!"

Culver was instantly enraged. Last time, because of this matter, he had already decided not to argue with her anymore. He had thought that she would not continue to break the agreement anymore. However, he did not expect that she would behave the same way again.

Culver was truly angry and he lost his appetite. He turned around and returned to his room. With a bang, he slammed the door behind him.

"Tell her that since she dares to leave, she doesn't need to come back again!"

Loraine was stunned. What was going on? What was happening? Why was Culver throwing such a childish tantrum?
