Sebastian was furious, but continued to bark orders anyway.

"Even if there's no one there, seal off the place!"

"Yes, sir!"

After they left, Sebastian spat in spite, "Don't let me get a hold of this woman next time, otherwise just watch how I'll deal with her!"

"Alright, why worry about her? She's a widow; bringing her kids out for a vacation is a good idea too, since it saves us the pain of having an eyesore around..."

Sebastian and his father burst out in laughter upon agreement.

Of course, their conversation very quickly reached Eudora's ears.

She did not say a word, but continued to play with the kids.

Tina ran in from outside, exclaiming, "Eudora, let's go hiking this afternoon! I saw a gorgeous-looking mountain in front, just nice for an adventure!"

Eudora glanced at the two children. Juju was very excited.

Juju was very excited, "Mom, let's go! I want to go hiking."

Then, she looked at Sugar Bun. He had learnt how to walk already, and children who had just started learning how to walk had to constantly walk on their feet.

Tina added, "I've seen the path up the mountain, and it's very flat. So, there's no need to worry."

"Let's go, then!" Eudora agreed, "But let's get changed first!"

A moment later, the four of them brought some rations and headed up the mountain. Just like Tina had said, the road up the mountain was still relatively flat. Eudora gradually relaxed and put Sugar Bun down to walk by himself.

He still was not familiar with the concept of balancing; every time he was about to fall, he would stretch out his two little arms to balance himself. He looked so adorable like a tumbling doll.

Tina laughed from behind, saying, "Why is Sugar Bun acting like a duckling?"

Sugar Bun broke into a smile too, "Duckly..."

After walking for a while, Tina found a place to sit down.

"I'm so tired, let's take a break!" Eudora was fine, but she considered the fact that the two children were also tired, so she sat down.

However, who knew that Tina was one who could not stay still! She heard the sound of flowing water, so she ran over to take a look.

Eudora saw that she was getting further and further away, so she called out to Christopher.

"We're alright over here. You should go take a look at her! Don't let her get into any trouble!"

Christopher went after Tina in a hurry. These few days, Eudora had been intentionally guiding them, so Tina wasn't as fixated on the issue concerning children anymore.

Seeing them getting along more and more, Eudora was quite happy too. Just as she was thinking about that, suddenly a shriek sounded from the other side.

"Christopher!"

Eudora was briefly stunned, then hurried to get up.

"What's wrong?"

"Christopher is injured! What should we do? There's a lot of blood!"

Eudora went quiet.

She recalled the tiny, half-centimeter wound from before and was a little exasperated, "Tina, can you stop being so dramatic every time?" "No, this time it's real!"

Tina's voice had begun to tremble as she spoke. Eudora then realized that something really had happened. She hurriedly brought the children over. Christopher had been struck in the abdomen by a rock falling from the mountain. He was lying there, his face deathly pale.

As expected, the place where he had been hit was bleeding. It looked extremely severe.

Eudora took in a deep breath, "Calm down and don't panic. I'll call for help."

With this level of injury, a trip to the hospital was inevitable.

Upon receiving their call, Charlie and the rest swiftly sent people to pick up Christopher.

Eudora couldn't care less about anything else, and followed them down the mountain.

In the hospital, Tina kept crying after Christopher got sent in.

"Eudora, it's all my fault. If only I hadn't gone over there! Christopher had also told me that it was dangerous there, but I kept thinking that it was fine. He ended up like this because he tried to save me, it's all because of me..."

Eudora was also full of mixed emotions, "Don't be so sad. Christopher was trying to save you, which proves how important you are to him! If he knows that you're so sad now, he will definitely feel uneasy. Then, how will he accept the treatment?"

Tina sniffed, "If that's the case, then I'm not sad anymore. Eudora, I'm not sad..."

"Alright, don't be sad. He'll come out soon!"

After two hours, Doctor Leon came out.

"Fortunately, you sent him here in time. The rock didn't harm his internal organs, and we've done a full body examination. The report will be out later. The patient is now out of harm's way, so you family members don't have to worry."

Tina could finally heave a sigh of relief, and rushed forward to grab Christopher's hand.

"I'm sorry, honey. I won't be so stubborn in the future!"

Christopher shook his head, "It's alright. I'm fine now, aren't I?"

After taking Christopher back to the ward, Eudora called Charlie to prepare some things to bring over.

"I'm afraid I can't stay with you here tonight, as I have to go back soon. Tina, if you're keeping him company here, you can't do things impulsively anymore, alright? Call me if anything happens, otherwise you can call Charlie too. He'll definitely help out!"

"Okay!" Tina nodded. She looked at the time, then quickly added.

She looked at the time, then quickly added, "Eudora, I'll go and get the report first. Can you wait here for me to return, then only leave after that?"

Eudora replied helplessly, "The nurse will send it here!"

"I don't know when the nurse will send it here. I have nothing to do now anyways, so I can get it myself. Wait for me to come back! Don't leave Christopher here alone."

Eudora was speechless.

"Alright!"

She wasn't going to leave that early anyway!

After Tina went out, Eudora shook her head with a smile. Christopher quickly said, "She has such a childish temper!"

His voice was filled with adoration.

Eudora shook her head and replied, "There's nothing wrong with that, it just means that she's naive and won't scheme against anyone. Rather, I have to congratulate you. After this incident, Tina probably won't be as caught up with the children anymore. The both of you can live happily together from now on!"

"Yes!" Christopher nodded.

Eudora continued chatting with him for a bit, then saw that it had already been half an hour, but Tina still had not returned yet.

"This girl, where had she run off to? I'll go take a look!"

Christopher was also very worried, but he couldn't move at all, so he could only ask Eudora to go in his stead.

She left the room and searched the entire hospital, and finally found Tina in the garden downstairs.

She was just sitting there, staring blankly in front of her, as if deep in thought.

Eudora quickly sat down beside her, "What's wrong? Did you get the report? Why didn't you go back to the ward?"

Tina seemed as though she suddenly came back to her senses.

"Eudora, you're here!"

"I've been here for a long time! What's the matter? Why are you looking so downcast? Is there something wrong with the report?"

Tina shook her head and said, "It's not like that. Everything is great with the report. Just as Doctor Leon had said, there's nothing wrong. I just...I just wanted to come out to take a breather!" Eudora nodded, "Then all is good. Let's go back! It's time for me to leave too!"

Tina suddenly called out to her, "Eudora, could you not leave?"
