Chapter 294

Eugene slept on the couch. Since he was tall, the small couch felt a bit cramped for him.

He stared at the ceiling his mind filled with thoughts about the camellias from that year.

By early morning. Eugene got up and went out.

When Madeline got up in the morning to use the toilet, she found no one in the living room,

Madeline felt a bit guilty and wondered, 'Did Eugene leave because he wasn't comfortable sleeping here? It's cold nowadays, so it must've been tough staying in the living room Suddenly, there was the sound of keys jangling outside.

Madeline looked over as the door opened and saw a huge bouquet of camellias that almost blocked the entrance.

Madeline was a bit surprised and asked, "Eugene? Where did you get so many flowers?"

"Are you Ms. Larson? This is a gift from Mr. Sharp," said a stranger delivering the flowers.

Madeline paused, watching as the deliveryman placed the flowers in

The camellia leaves were dark green, and the blossoms were a slightly dark red. The petals were thick and incredibly delicate, but not fragile at all. The yellow stamens had no fragrance even up close. It was surprising that vibrant flowers blossomed even in the harshest winters.

Madeline raised her hand and gently touched the camellia petals.

They were bright and noble, just like Eugene.

A servant quickly approached and asked, "Mr. Sharp, do you have a cold! Should I call the general practitioner for you?

Eugene shook his hand and said, "No, thanks. I'm just a bit tired. Don't disturb my sleep.

"Yes, sir," said the servant.
