Eudora's nose twitched, "Dad, I am Eudora!"
When he heard this, Gordon immediately shook his head, "No, you're not Eudora. My Eudora is only five years old this year, and I still have to bring her to go get some sparklers! You're not my Eudora."
"Dad, I'm Eudora! I've already grown up. I don't want sparklers anymore!"
She thought that he had already forgotten about her, but did not expect that despite his condition, he had not forgotten to love her.
Gordon grew anxious upon seeing her cry.
"Miss, why are you crying? I'm really not your father! Have you lost your father? Then, I'll find him with you. Where's your father? Don't worry, he won't abandon you. Surely he's anxiously searching for you now too!"
Eudora sniffed, "Then, can we walk around and look for him together?"
Gordon nodded and agreed, "Sure! Let me tell you, my Eudora is the most beautiful person ever. She's like a fairy! And Kesha too, my two wonderful, lovely daughters."
No one knew where his thoughts had currently stopped at, but his face donned an incredibly satisfied smile.
Suddenly, as if he was telling her a secret, he softly whispered to Eudora.
"Let me tell you, my two girls are so awkward! Yesterday I saw them playing together, but today they argued again! They're refusing to talk to each other!"
"It's okay. Children's tantrums don't last long."
Gordon shook his head and disagreed, "No! We can't ignore it. Whether they're adults or children, it's better to solve the conflict immediately. Otherwise, the longer it's left unresolved, the worse it gets! Last time I didn't care much about both of them, so they've changed..."
As Gordon spoke, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something and frowned.
"Kesha, Eudora! My dearest daughters!"
He clutched his head in pain, as if he had recalled some painful memories.
"It was my fault that I didn't teach them well. I feel so sorry towards them."
Eudora quickly held him, "Dad, Dad, it's me! Are you okay?"
As if he had suddenly gone into a frenzy, Gordon pushed Eudora away with strength that had come from nowhere.
"Kesha, Eudora, come back!
Eudora fell to the ground and hurriedly called out to Charlie, "Quick, go after my father!"
Just now, when Charlie had rushed over to defeat the two bodyguards, Sebastian had already taken the opportunity to escape. Charlie took a look at Eudora, who had fallen down on the ground.
"Madam..."
"I'm fine, so don't worry about me."
Charlie swiftly went in pursuit of Gordon. Eudora sat for a while, then furrowed her brows.
Actually, when Gordon had pushed her down just now, her knees and hands had been scraped against the rocks. Her skin had been scratched open, and blood was seeping out.
She had endured the pain and remained silent, as she was worried that Charlie would want to stay back and take care of her. If that happened, then no one would go after Gordon.
No one else was left here now, so she finally let out a hiss, attempting to soothe the pain.
It was so painful that her tears just came gushing out naturally.
Eudora stretched her hand out to wipe it off. Just as she was about to get up, she heard footsteps coming from behind her.
She instinctively turned her head around to take a look, and shuddered.
The main reason was that the man in front of her looked incredibly strange. He was wrapped up from head to toe. He was also wearing a cap, covering himself up tightly.
He wore a mask, and even his clothes were all long-sleeved and high-collared.
Although it had long been autumn and it was indeed a little cold, his appearance was still too dramatic.
Maybe it was because she was sizing him up, the man was taken aback for a while.
Then, he asked in a raspy voice, "Are you okay? Can you get up?"
Eudora's heart throbbed again, because the voice of the man was like a saw cutting through wood. It was so hoarse that he sounded like he was centuries old.
"Oh, I've already instructed someone else to escort him onto the car. Since we're already going to the hospital, let's bring him along too!"
Eudora nodded, "Okay!"
Gordon's condition required an examination as well.
After they left, the man who had hurriedly run away just now finally walked out from a corner. He quietly looked at their backs. After a long time, he clenched his fists, then released them.
In the hospital, the doctor was bandaging
Eudora's wound.
"Luckily, your bones weren't injured. Take note to not infect the wounds, change your bandage often, and it'll become a scab three days later."
Eudora nodded. Just as she was about to thank him, she heard a ruckus outside.
Eudora hurriedly walked out and saw a group of nurses chasing after Gordon in the hallway.
Gordon ran forwards in a panic, "I don't want to see a doctor. I want to go home. I want to go home and see my daughter!"
The nurses were anxious, "Mr. George, please listen to us. We're not going to lock you up here. We're just going to give you a checkup!"
"I'm not doing it! I'm not sick. I'm in good health. Don't try to fool me. If I get sick, then I won't be able to work and buy a sparkler for my daughter!"
Eudora's nose twitched, and she quickly stepped forward to block the nurses.
"I'm sorry. Can you let me have a try?"
The nurse looked at each other, so Charlie hurried forward and said, "This is Miss Eudora George, and she's the patient's daughter!"
Only then did the nurse let out a sigh of relief, "Miss George, your father's condition is terrible. He's already showing signs of aggravation. I advise you to let him receive treatment as soon as possible!"
Eudora was stunned and looked at Gordon in a daze.
Was his sickness already that serious?
