Chapter 580: My Mom Also Likes It

On the second day after returning home, Eunice goes straight to the hospital. When Eunice receives
the money from Ryan, Lorraine finally has her surgery. She recovers well after the operation and is
getting better every day.

Eunice has been out of the country for a long time. Lorraine only thinks that she is on a business trip.
She has missed her daughter, but she is afraid that she will get in the way of her work, so she has
endured it. Now she sees Eunice has returned, and her eyes turn red.

"Eunice, when did you come back?" Lorraine quickly sits up from the bed and holds her daughter's
hands tightly.

Eunice is moved. Noticing that Lorraine's complexion is somewhat rosy, she heaves a sigh of relief and
says, "Mom, I came back yesterday. I went home first and chatted with Thomas before coming over.
How are you?"

"Very good. I'm just fine." Lorraine nods quickly. "I feel much better now, and I'm recovering well.
Yesterday, Zack told me if nothing unexpected came up in next week's examination, I can be
discharged from the hospital."

"Really?" Eunice is overjoyed. "I didn't see Zack. I'll talk to him later."

"Yes." Lorraine sees how tired her daughter looks and feels sad for her. "You've been taking care of
your brother and me for so many years. Now that I'm well, I don't need to stay in the hospital, and we
can save a lot of money. After I am discharged, I can go to work to earn some cash for the family. You'll
have a smaller burden then."

"Mom, what did you say?" Eunice looks at her reproachfully and continues, "You're my mother. I should
care for you. I am not under that much pressure as you said. Recover quickly. Then Thomas and I can
rest assured!"



The mother and daughter's conversation is heard by Rebecca Wood on the bed beside them. She
looks over in envy and says, "Lorraine, your daughter is so filial. Even your son can't compete with her
on this!"

Eunice is young, but she has been busy trying to help Lorraine with her illness, and she has never
complained about it. The other patients in the ward have been praising her endlessly. Now that
Lorraine is getting better, they are all happy for her!

Lorraine is happy to hear someone say nice things about her daughter. She smiles kindly and replies,
"Yes. I am so lucky to have her in my life!"

They haven't seen each other for long. Lorraine has so much to talk to her about. They chat until lunch
time. Lorraine is healthy enough to go to the canteen to buy lunch with Eunice, and Lorraine also needs
some walk.

The canteen is crowded. Eunice buys two bowls of millet porridge, a serving of garlic broccoli, a serving
of scrambled tomatoes and eggs, and a serving of sweet and sour tenderloin. They both hold thermos
in their hands on the way back. Lorraine hooks her arm around her daughter's and asks, "Eunice, what
did you do abroad? Was it tiring?"

She was injured in an accident then. She left the country quickly and only contacted Lorraine when she
arrived in England.

When she thinks of the past, Eunice's eyes darken. "It was just a simple project. I got subsidies for
going abroad. Many people couldn't go because they had families, so I went there instead."

"Then what did you do after you came back?"

What did she do?



For some reason, Eunice remembers the last time she had dinner with Ryan. That was probably the
last time they met. It is almost impossible for them to see each other again.

She looks down and says in a faint voice, "It was not suitable for me, so I quit."

"I see." Lorraine pats the back of her hand gently. "Eunice, when I recover and leave the hospital next
week, you should think about your future. You dropped out of school in your sophomore year, which
has made me sad. Now there is less to worry about in the family, you should go back to school."

Eunice did not expect she would bring this up. Eunice left college and went to work when her
sophomore year just began. It has been more than a year now, and Lorraine only strongly opposed her
decision at first. Eunice thought her mother was too sick to care about her education, but now she
realizes Lorraine has been waiting for the right time to mention this. That would be when she recovers.

"Mom...." Eunice tightens her grip on the lunch box, fearing that Lorraine would overthink this. "I'm
fine."

"Mom knows you need to be strong, but Eunice, your education is of paramount importance. You can't
push yourself too hard. Mom didn't give you a good start in life. For you and Thomas, the most
important thing is this paper of academic qualification. You worked so hard to get in. Mom can't let you
give up halfway."

Noticing that Eunice wants to argue, Lorraine quickly continues, "I'm in charge of this matter. When I'm
discharged from the hospital, you must go back to school."

Eunice's heart aches when she hears what her mother has been hiding in her heart for so long. There
is nobody who is really unwilling to go to school, especially someone like her. She knows better than
anyone the importance of a good education.

However, life has been difficult to her, and she didn't even have the right to be in school for so long.



Noticing that Lorraine is looking better, Eunice can't help but sigh. If Ryan hadn't given her the money a
few months ago, perhaps Lorraine still couldn't have her surgery, and Eunice would continue to suffer
for it.

Eunice retracts her gaze and lets out a deep breath. No matter what, her life has changed so much in a
good way. She should thank Ryan no matter what his status or attitude is.

...

Ever since Ryan chose to settle in J City, he has spent most of his time on Adair. He doesn't bring
much work with him. Many capitalists know that he has returned and want to meet him, but he refuses
them all.

As soon as he has time, he will ask Abby to take Adair out to eat, drink and play. He will be there for
Adair, and even his man Moody, who has worked for him for nearly a decade, is surprised.

Is he still the workaholic Ryan who used to work 18 hours straight a day? He is like "father of the year"
now!

On Friday night, Ryan takes Adair to eat hotpot that the boy has always wanted to try. Although Ryan is
of Chinese descent, he has lived abroad for so long, so hotpot is challenging for him.

However, since Adair likes it, he can only accompany him.

Ryan asks Moody to book them seats at the best hotpot restaurant in J City. It is on the eighth floor of a
five-star hotel. They ask for a private room, so it isn't too noisy.

Adair orders a pot with both butter soup and mushroom soup, top-grade beef and mutton, various
vegetables, meat balls, and more importantly, duck intestines, brains, chicken feet, as well as animal
veins and stomachs.



After the food is served, Ryan doesn't touch anything except the beef. He loses his appetite the minute
he sees the bloody brains and intestines.

Adair enjoys his meal and can't help but eat a few mouthfuls of the spicy soup. His lips turn red quickly.
"Why aren't you eating?" Adair asks.

"I have eaten."

"I mean these." Adair points at the organs in front of him and asks, "Are you afraid?"

Ryan snorts nonchalantly and answers, "I just don't like them."

"Ryan, how do you know you don't like them before you try them?" The boy picks some duck guts with
the special chopsticks for hotpot and drops them into Ryan's bowl, saying, "This is very crisp and
delicious. Mom and I like it very much. Ryan, give it a try!" Adair puts the duck sausage into his bowl
with a long hot pot chopsticks.

Ryan wants to reject him. However, when he hears Adair say the word ‘Mom’, he pauses. He hasn’t
seen her for so long, and feels a little blue about it.
