Cindy immediately replied, "She fell down in the garden just now. Madam, how do you feel now?"
It really did hurt a little, so Eudora nodded in agreement.
She answered, "It's kind of painful."
The doctor examined Eudora and said, "It’s just soft tissue damage. Although it isn't a big issue, the area will hurt for a long time. You were too careless. It's fortunate that we've come to visit just in time. Otherwise, you probably would have just ignored it! You should be careful as it might cause more complications in the future."
Cindy grew scared and said, "Luckily you've gotten here in the nick of time. We wouldn't want any complications to happen."
After the doctor left, Cindy went to Eudora's side.
She told Eudora, "Let me help you to bed to rest!"
Eudora said helplessly, "It's not a big deal. The doctors usually exaggerate!"
"Madam, if not for your sake, at least think about Miss Juju and Little master."
"Fine, fine!" Eudora had no choice but to give in. "I'll get some rest, alright?"
After Cindy left, Eudora saw that the windows were closed, so she got up and went to open the window to get some fresh air.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked to the window, she saw Doctor Leon.
On the road outside of Clearwater Bay, Doctor Leon was talking to the doctor who had just treated her. The two of them were discussing something.
Since Amos' death, Eudora had hardly seen Doctor Leon.
Unexpectedly, Doctor Leon was here today, looking well- prepared. Eudora figured that Doctor Leon was the one who had sent for a doctor to treat her.
Eudora suddenly realized that Cindy might have asked Doctor Leon to put on a show with her so that she would not refuse treatment.
Thinking of that, Eudora slowly went downstairs.
Since it was rare to run into Dr. Leon, she felt that she should greet him.
Eudora walked out of the house until she reached the junction outside of Clearwater Bay. The doctor who had treated her had already left.
Doctor Leon was on the phone with someone. As she got closer, she heard Doctor Leon talking in a helpless tone.
He said into the phone, "You brat, I've already settled everything. When are you going back? You can't waste any more time, do you understand?"
Eudora's footsteps paused, staying rooted on the spot.
Brat? Wasn't he talking to Cindy?
Back then, the only people who had been at home were Cindy, herself, Sawyer and Sugar Bun. Sugar Bun was a child, so Doctor Leon would not talk to him in that way.
In that case, the only suspect left was Sawyer.
However, how could it be Sawyer?
Did he know Doctor Leon as well?
For a moment, Eudora was confused. She felt like everything had gotten jumbled together and she could not figure out a solution.
She watched as Doctor Leon walked back to his car and drove off after he finished his phone call.
She had a feeling that something was amiss, but what exactly was it?
When she arrived at the door to her house, she saw Sawyer anxiously walking out. Seeing that she was back, Sawyer let out a sigh of relief.
Although that sigh was not obvious, Eudora still noticed it.
She gazed at Sawyer suspiciously. He walked towards her and said in a respectful tone.
He walked towards her and asked respectfully, "Madam, where have you been? Cindy said that you weren't upstairs."
Eudora stared at him for a while, but she could not notice anything amiss. Could it be that he had previously been acquainted with Doctor Leon?
However, she had known Doctor Leon for a long time, yet she did know that such a person like Sawyer existed. Moreover, Sawyer was always incredibly concerned about her.
When there had been no suspicions in her heart, she had thought that everything was normal.
Now that she had some doubts planted in her mind, she began to feel that Sawyer's appearance had always been mysterious.
From the first time he appeared on the mountain to the following times they had run into each other, all of those incidents were too coincidental!
On several occasions, whenever she had inadvertently looked into his eyes, she had always been reminded of Amos.
It was just that the light in his eyes was different from Amos.
Feeling distressed, Eudora simply covered her head with a pillow and forced herself to close her eyes.
By the time Sawyer had finished packing, there was no one else in the garden except for Cindy, who was holding Sugar Bun who had just woken up. Sugar Bun reached out to him the moment he saw him.
"Dad..."
Looking at Sugar Bun, Sawyer felt a bitter pang in his heart.
If it was possible, he still hoped to accompany the little fella as he grew up! However, in the end, he still could not do so.
It was fine. After all, Eudora was much stronger now. He was confident that she could raise the children well. As for himself, if he had forcefully made his way back into their lives in the first place, he would have destroyed their beautiful moments together.
He wanted to preserve the good memories.
Waving his hand at Sugar Bun, Sawyer turned around and left.
Cindy was about to walk away with Sugar Bun with his arms when he suddenly started forcefully struggling against her hold. Cindy had only slightly loosened her grip, but Sugar Bun had already broken free, running after Sawyer.
"Dad..."
Cindy could not help but hold back a bitter smile. Sugar Bun was usually a smart child. However, for some reason, he truly adored Sawyer.
Ever since the first time they had met, he had already started calling Sawyer "Dad"!
Just as she was thinking about that, Sugar Bun had already wrapped himself around Sawyer's waist as he said, "Dad, blocks."
He was talking about building blocks, his favorite toy.
Sawyer squatted down and gently petted Sugar Bun's head.
Cindy's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She finally remembered who she thought Sawyer looked like when they had been in the garden just now.
He was just like Amos! That action that he did just then was particularly alike to how Amos did it.
