Chapter 69
As Jasper approached Scott, he spoke, “I just went to inquire with the on–duty doctor tonight. Naomi’s hand Injury has opened, and her spine was also impacted. The situation isn’t too severe, but she’s suffering a lot and needs a good rest for some time.”
After leaving the operating room, Jasper received a message from Scott. He instructed him to finish his tasks and find the night–duty doctor on the same floor as Naomi to understand her situation.
He was not entirely clear on the meaning of this message, considering Naomi’s condition was already stable with no apparent issues. However, Scott would not have sent him on a trip without reason. Thus, after reading the message, he searched for the on–duty doctor on Naomi’s floor and learned about the fall and injuries.
Not knowing what happened and why it occurred, he immediately sought information from the on- duty doctor and quickly approached Scott to share the news.
In the message, Scott informed him that he was waiting outside.
Jasper relayed all the information he gathered, then stared at the man’s expression once he was finished. For some reason, he felt that the typically detached Scott seemed a bit different.
It seemed like he finally knew to care about someone.
“I have to go on a business trip tomorrow. Take good care of Naomi during this time,” Scott said.
Jasper nodded. “Don’t worry, Scott. I’ll pay special attention, as you requested.”
“Thank you.”
“No problem. You focus on your work. If anything comes up, I’ll call you.”
Scott’s expression shifted slightly. “If there’s nothing important here, return to Willowstown
tomorrow.”
Jasper hesitated, caught off–guard by the sudden change in instructions. One moment, he was told to pay special attention to Naomi, and the next second, he was asked to leave. It took him a moment to
process.
“The situation here can be understood through phone communication,” Scott clarified.
Jasper understood. It seemed that Scott was concerned about his work.
After a brief consideration, he nodded and said, “I’ll return to Willowstown tomorrow.”
Indeed, his presence here was solely for Naomi, with no other significant reasons. Since Scott wanted
him to return to Willowstown, he naturally would not delay any longer.
Scott added, “I’ll have Ray arrange your flight.”
Jasper was stunned again.
Without waiting for his questions, Scott continued, “Go get busy.”
With that, he walked to the car parked on the opposite side and got inside.
In an instant, the car vanished from his sight.
Jasper stood still as he recounted Scott’s words. It somehow felt like Scott wanted him to leave Willowstown, to stop staying in Horizon City.
Why did this happen?
Donna returned to find Naomi comfortably leaning against the head of the bed. Also, there was a caregiver in the ward.
“Naomi, it’s a bit late tonight. I’ve searched many places but couldn’t find local cherries. Only this type of cherry was available. 1 brought you some!
“Have these for tonight. Tomorrow, I’ll go to the market to buy more for you…
Donna walked through the door, speaking as she entered. However, she quickly stopped as she looked at the caregiver emerging from the bathroom.
“This is…”
Naomi gently replied, “It’s a caregiver, arranged by Charles.”
“A caregiver?” Donna was surprised. “I’m here to take care of you, right? Why do we need a caregiver?
Donna walked in, placed the cherries on the bedside table, and observed the middle–aged woman. Well, she seemed proper and honest.
no
Naomi’s expression softened, and there was no hint of strangeness in her voice. “You’re getting older, and the senior is worried that you might not be able to handle it. He thought it would be better to hire a caregiver.”
“Hey, isn’t this just spending money again?”
Naomi helplessly replied, “Charles insisted, and I couldn’t persuade him.”
Seeing Naomi’s resigned look, Donna smiled, sat beside the bed, and hinted meaningfully, “Charles is really kind, you know? He’s more considerate and attentive than most boys.”
Naomi understood the implication behind Donna’s words and replied warmly, “Charles has always been kind.”
Donna observed her expression, unsure whether Naomi understood Charles‘ feelings. However, she noticed a change in Naomi’s complexion.
It seemed paler than before..
