Eudora sat in the car. Doctor Oscar and Charlie's words kept echoing in her mind.
It had not turned out great although they had tried their best!
She had already realized that the operation was dangerous and she knew that she should embrace the results no matter what. However, when she considered how frustrated Amos could possibly be feeling at that moment, she started to feel anxious.
"Drive faster!"
The driver realized that something was amiss. This time, he did not dare say anything else and just stepped on the accelerator, thrusting forwards!
When she got home, Eudora first looked for Sugar Bun and Juju. When the two children saw her, they immediately started clinging onto her!
Eudora hurriedly asked, "Where's Dad? Have you seen him around?"
The two children shook their heads, "No! Dad hasn't come home yet!"
Eudora immediately became anxious. Didn't
Charlie say that they were on the way home?
"Then I..." Before she could finish her words, Sugar Bun grabbed her leg.
"Mom, you're home so early today! I want to play with you!"
Eudora frowned, "I still have something to do... Juju, can you take care of Sugar Bun?"
Juju looked at Eudora, "Mom, I want to play with you too! Master Clarke said that if I go back this time, I will have to undergo hellish training! I won't be able to come home for a long time...I won't be able to see you too!"
Eudora was stunned, "Hellish training? I haven't heard anything about it."
"Recently Mom has been so busy and you have to always be with Dad, so I haven't told you yet. Today is my last day at home and I'm really looking forward to playing with Mom!"
Eudora glanced at the empty yard outside. Although her heart was alight with anxiety, she could not deny her children's requests.
"Let me make a phone call first!"
Juju nodded. Eudora went out to call Charlie again.
Eudora went out to call Charlie again, "How's he doing? Where are you two?"
"Everything's fine. Mr. Granger looks better now. I'm still with him, so don't worry, Mrs. Granger!"
Eudora's heart calmed down a little, "Keep a close eye on him, okay? I have something to do now and will stay at home for a while. I'll meet you later!"
"Alright, don't worry!"
After hanging up on the call, Eudora relaxed and walked back to Juju.
"Okay, let's play together! What do you want to play today? Building blocks?"
"No!" Juju said with a smile. "Let's have a fashion show! Don't you have a lot of pretty clothes and dresses? Let's try them on together!"
Eudora really was not in the mood to do so, but Juju had been very sensible ever since she was a child.
This was the first time that she had said that she wanted to play with Eudora.
It would be a long time before they could see each other again so Eudora really was unable to refuse her request.
"That's a good idea!"
Eudora and Juju went upstairs for a while.
After changing a few sets of clothes, Eudora looked at the sky outside. It was getting dark!
She felt even more anxious now!
"Let's stop here today, okay? There's still something else I need to take care of!"
Her footsteps stopped. With a loud bang, all the lights behind her lit up!
The pitch black scene brightened up instantly. The park she was in had been decorated grandly!
There were champagne roses all around. There was a dining table in the middle, but no one was there.
Eudora frowned, taking two steps forward while hiking her dress up. Suddenly, she heard a sigh in her ear.
She turned around and saw a familiar figure walking towards her with his back to the light. The blinding light made her unable to see his face clearly, but Eudora could recognize that the man was Amos.
Amos did not stop in front of her. Instead, he walked past her to the car behind, opened the door, took out the high heels and then walked back towards Eudora.
While Eudora was still in a daze, he crouched down and helped her put on the high heels.
"It's getting cold. You shouldn't come out barefoot!"
Eudora was stunned and crashed into Amos' arms. The anxious feeling that she had been experiencing throughout the whole afternoon finally dissipated upon seeing that Amos was in good condition.
"Hubby, it doesn't matter! Even if your face
couldn't be restored to its previous state, in my heart, you'll always be handsome! Don't leave me, okay?"
Before Eudora's voice had even died away, a burst of cheers sounded behind her.
Harley, Thea, Tina, Christopher, Charlie, Cindy, Clint, Anya, Doctor Leon, Helen and her husband, Juju and Sugar Bun all walked out from behind her.
Each of them had a smile on their faces.
"I thought I was here to listen to Amos' loving confession but unexpectedly, Eudora was the one to say it first! Coming here today was worthwhile!"
Eudora was puzzled. She looked up and saw Amos' gentle eyes and his lovely, perfect profile...
