My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 497

Amos snorted and said, "Good thing your work attitude is still up to standard. Whatever you have on your hands, you can do them after work tomorrow. But for now, I need you to replace the best nursing home in Rosaville City. I want to hear from you tomorrow morning."

Clint was at a loss for words.

Could he call him Satan?

But of course, he could never say that out loud!

Clint took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away!"

After hanging up, Clint saw Anya's reply, "I'm home. What about you?"

Since there wasn't a reply after a few minutes, she then sent another message. "Goodnight!"

Clint,"..."

He felt as though his heart was cut by a knife. That was the perfect chance to ask Anya out. Why did his boss have to call him just that exact moment...

On the other side, Amos sneezed.

When Eudora woke up the next day, she received some feedback on her iPad. She had evaluated several nursing homes the night before, but none of them qualified. However, they had sent another recommendation.

The environment was great. It was on top of a hill in the suburbs of Cloud City. One could enjoy the sight of red leaves falling during autumn.

Plus, reviews showed that their service was good.

It was specifically catered to the elderly who were not in good health. All the staff were equipped with medical knowledge so that immediate medical attention could be given during emergencies. Most importantly, this nursing home was different from the others. It was in collaboration with Rosaville City Hospital, so it was a very professional nursing home.

The more information she read about the nursing home, the more satisfied she was. She immediately contacted them.

Soon, they arranged for Gordon's stay. Once the agreement was signed, Gordon could be transferred there immediately. Everything went so smoothly!

Eudora was humming happily to herself while Amos watched from behind. When Eudora went out to settle the bills, he gave Clint a call.

"I'm calling you to remind you that you are required to work overtime after lunch."

Clint was confused.

"Are you not satisfied with what I've arranged? That nursing home is the best one in Rosaville City!"

"Anya will also be working overtime."

Clint was startled, "So, this is a reward!"

He thanked Amos immediately, "Thank you,

President Granger!"

What a considerate boss! However, how did his boss know that he liked Anya? Was there anything that could sweep past his eyes?

After Eudora got up the next morning, she found that Amos was already up.

"Are you sending your father off to the nursing home today? I'll go with you." Amos said.

"But your injury..."

"It's okay, I'm alright!" After saying that, Amos held Eudora's hand.

"It's cold outside, I'll get you a coat."

Time sure passed by quickly, it was almost midautumn in the blink of an eye. Although Rosaville City was not as cold as it was in the north, the temperature had dropped a lot.

He took a coat and put it on Eudora, and the two of them went out together.

Gordon had already packed up all his things when they arrived at the George's. There wasn't much, just the two essentials that he used every day.

His things were all on the sofa outside, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Eudora thought that he was flying the kite again. She looked around and finally saw him in the garden. He was watering the flowers and it looked as though he was saying goodbye to his old friends. "Drink more, old pal. I'm afraid that I won't come back in the future. But no worries! Eudora will replace someone to look after you! You will definitely live longer than me."

"And you! I used to think that you would wither very fast, but you're growing so well. It seems that plants are stronger than humans."

After talking for a while, he looked up and saw Eudora standing there.

Gordon smiled and said, "Eudora, you're here. I've got everything packed! We can leave now!"

"Dad, if you don't want to go, we could always think of other ways!"

She could see that Gordon was reluctant to leave this place.

"It's alright!" Gordon shook his head, then moved closer to Eudora like a child, and whispered to her while smiling.

"I'm comforting them! People say that plants need to be coaxed like children. That way, they'll grow better."

"Dad..."

"Alright! I can't wait to go. I'm old, but I'm really glad that you could forgive me. I've done you wrong in the past. From now on, you and Amos must live a good life. Just remember to come to visit me sometimes alright?"

Eudora nodded. There were a few times she wanted to say, "Why don't you just stay here?"

However, she couldn't seem to bring herself to say it.

She knew that she wouldn't be able to take care of him for a long time. Therefore, she didn't dare to ask that of him.

Eudora took one last look at the yard after getting everything in the car. After leaving with Gordon, she might never come here again.

This was the place she grew up in. At that time, her mother was still alive. The flowers in the courtyard, the grass, every part of it had traces of her young self, of those old times.

Soon, she would be reunited with her mother.

The environment of the nursing home was just as Eudora had expected. In fact, she had come here today to take a look around.

Indeed, it did not disappoint.

Soon after Gordon went in, he was arranged to watch TV with a group of elderly people by the administrator.

After completing the formalities, Eudora went to Gordon's room to take a look. She had hired him an experienced nurse who was about 40 years old.

At first glance, the room looked neat and refreshing. It was cleaned properly too.

It was a two-bedroom unit, one room was for the caretaker. It had everything inside. If he wanted to make his own meals instead of going to the cafeteria, there was a kitchen and a refrigerator available too. There were also many activities available and many elderly people here.

Eudora was ready to go back after making sure that everything was settled.

When she came out, she saw Gordon already mixing in well with a group of old people. They were busy talking about the latest news.

Eudora said goodbye to him, but Gordon only waved his hand casually.

"Go back, and don't worry. I like it very much here."

Eudora looked at Gordon's gray hair and suddenly remembered her first time going to boarding school. At that time, her mother had already passed away.

She was very scared after Gordon sent her to the boarding school. She wanted to bring him back home with her.

However, she still held some grudges, so she refused to tell him the truth.

Tears welled up in Eudora's eyes, but she forced herself to leave and not turn back. Now, it was as if they had switched roles! Eudora sighed in her heart. "Dad, will you be happy here? If not, let's go home..."

"Of course! This will be my home from now on. Don't worry. I may be old, but I know what I want."

Eudora was relieved and she finally went back with Amos.

After Eudora left, Gordon, who had been talking nonstop earlier, suddenly became quiet. He lowered his head and looked at the ground all of the sudden.

An old man beside him asked him some questions, but he ignored him. After asking a few more questions, Gordon got angry and lost his temper, saying that he was going to his room. When he was finally alone in his room, he lowered his head and a tear fell from his misty eyes.
