Eudora was stunned, "But you haven't even had lunch yet..."

"I already prepared some for myself. Why? Do you want my lunch? No way! You can't have it. You should go back now! By the way, I'm fine with that nursing home you mentioned. I don't have to worry about it when it's my daughter who arranged it. Go ahead!"

Eudora was a little surprised. She thought that Gordon would reject her offer. She didn't expect him to agree to it just like that.

"Are you really fine about it?"

"Why not? I'm all alone here. Eudora, I trust you!"

Eudora felt a lump in her throat. It wasn't until now that she realized Gordon, who used to quarrel with her all the time, had aged significantly.

He had become an old man who was willing to trust his daughter.

"Okay!" Eudora nodded. "I'll make the necessary arrangements then."

"Go now!" Gordon smiled at her.

It was only when Eudora had left that Gordon finally turned and looked down at the kitten purring at his feet.

"I'm old now and I don't want to be a burden to my child. Eudora and the others have their own lives to deal with. I shouldn't make them worry! She didn't even tell me that Amos got injured. Isn't it because she doesn't want me worrying about her?"

Gordon seemed to have thought of something and sobbed.

He squatted down and his shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Kesha, you silly child. It's all my fault! If I had known that you would become like this, I would have paid more attention to you when you were young..."

As soon as Eudora returned to the hospital, she saw a few nurses gathering in front of the ward, each of them had a frustrated look on their faces. There were so many of them and they kept nudging each other on the shoulder.

"You go! He hasn't seen you before, maybe he won't get mad."

"What? I heard that he doesn't like strangers. Why don't you go?"

"Are you guys done yet? Both of you should go together!"

"Why don't you go then?"

Eudora's heart trembled. She thought that something had happened to Amos, so she walked over to them hurriedly.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to my husband?"

When the head nurse saw Eudora, she almost cried on the spot.

"Miss George, thank goodness that you're finally back! Mr. Granger is angry!"

Eudora immediately heaved a sigh of relief. She thought that something bad had happened to Amos. It turned out that he was just angry.

However, she questioned, "Do you know why is he angry?"

"Well, we're not sure. It seems that he got angry after his assistant came earlier in the morning. He broke all the things in the ward! We couldn't stop him no matter how hard we tried. He's not letting us clean up the mess either..."

Eudora frowned. "I'll have a look."

The two nurses next to her, who was not in charge before, didn't know who Eudora was and called out to her hurriedly.

"Miss, be careful! The patient is terrifying! If you get hurt..."

The other nurse stopped her and said, "What do you know? Miss George, please don't mind them. They didn't mean to speak ill of Mr. Granger! Mr. Granger... is actually a nice person!"

Eudora smiled somewhat helplessly, "I get what you're trying to imply here. You don't need to speak for him. He does have a bad temper, but he's not a bad person. I'm sorry for the mess he made!" After that, Eudora pushed the door open and went in.

The two nurses behind her still couldn't believe it. "Is she really going in alone? Will she be thrown out?"

"She's pregnant. It's too dangerous..."

The other nurse stared at them with disdain. They were too young to understand. When she was about to speak, a muffled sound came from the room.

The three of them jumped in shock.

"Oh no, something must have happened to Miss George!"

The nurse who was confident a moment ago became uncertain. Could it be that even Miss George couldn't solve this crisis?

The three of them immediately rushed over and kicked the door open abruptly.

"Miss George, you..."

The three of them opened their mouths in shock.

Their jaws could've fallen to the ground.

A moment ago, Amos was behaving like a threatening tiger in front of them. Now, he was sitting quietly on the bed like an extremely well-behaved primary school student.

And up front, Eudora was standing with her arms akimbo, 'lecturing' him.

"Didn't you promise me that you won't lose your temper for no reason? What happened this time?"

The man on the bed shook his head. "Nothing, it's just work."

Sensing that the door behind her was pushed open, Eudora turned around and looked at the nurses with embarrassment.

"I'm..."

"I'm sorry! I won't do that again!" Amos apologized in front of everyone.

He spoke so fast. The expression on his face was filled with nothing but pure sincerity.

The three of them couldn't help but look outside the window. The sun had not risen from the west, and there was no crazy storm going on outside. This scene was so unexpectedly shocking. "It's... it's okay!" They answered in unison.

How dare they accept the apology from a VIP guest? Weren't they digging their own graves?

The three of them looked around and realized that Eudora had accidentally stepped on something that Amos had smashed onto the ground...

"Let's help you get that bandaged up, Miss George!" Without waiting for Eudora's reply, they went to gather the first aid kit.

Eudora's belly was a little too big for her to bend down, so she nodded.

"Thank you."

"No problem!" The three of them grinned.

One of the nurses whispered to Eudora, "If you want to thank us, you might as well tell us how you calmed him down like that..."

Eudora was confused.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Granger is so kind to you. How did you do it?"

Eudora was speechless.

So, that was what this was all about!

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I think what's important is that both husband and wife care for each other. It only works when both sides contribute willingly. Relationships require effort, so does marriage. That's jus how it is."

"That's all?" The three of them were a bit disappointed. They thought that there would be a lot to learn about, but it turned out to be that simple.

Eudora nodded, "That is all."

However, what she had omitted to say was that it was never easy to maintain marriage and relationships as it would take a great effort from either party. However, they would understand this once they had experienced it themselves. So, she did not elaborate further.

After the nurses packed their things and left, Eudora went to take a look at Amos.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the company?"

Amos shook his head and looked at Eudora's smiling face. His heart felt as though it was being pricked by needles.

She must be feeling extremely unwell now, yet she still pretended that she was fine in front of him.

Well, he knew everything now. However, he couldn't help but wonder how often had she faced the pain alone, yet always remembered to show her best side to him before this.
