Chapter 321
Amelia actually wanted Naomi to be by her side. After all, when she was sick, she hoped for someone she could trust who cared about and accompanied her.
Of course, there was another reason. She hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to get Naomi and Charles to know each other better. It could not be helped. Everything was just so coincidental. She was hospitalized due to illness, and Charles' grandmother was also hospitalized in the same hospital. What's even more surprising, Charles' relatives were in San Angelino.
It was truly a match made in heaven.
Amelia felt that such a good opportunity should not be wasted.
Of course, it was all thanks to that despicable Sean. If he had not been pestering her last night, telling her about Charles coming to San Angelino and revealing the details of Charles' grandmother's cerebral hemorrhage, she would not have known about the situation.
That despicable Sean did have some use.
Naomi was unaware of Amelia's intentions. Upon hearing Amelia, she sat down and spoke gently, "It's okay. I've taken that day off, and my absence won't affect anything."
Naomi never considered herself crucial, and she certainly did not believe the world would stop turning without her. So, she was at ease.
Upon hearing Naomi's answer, Amelia immediately sat up and hugged Naomi, saying, "Naomi, you're so great."
Amelia acted coquettish.
Naomi lightly patted her back and said gently, "You must get better soon; you scared me last night."
Amelia nodded immediately. "It won't happen again, I swear! Never again! I promise!"
Amelia raised her hand, looking solemn, and Naomi smiled.
As the two chatted, there were two knocks on the door, signaling someone's arrival. Amelia looked over and immediately said, "Come in." Afterward, she said to Naomi, "It must be Charles."
She smiled brightly, exuding absolute confidence. Naomi
reciprocated with a smile on her face, saying nothing, but her gaze shifted toward the door of the hospital room.
The hospital room door swung open, revealing Charles in the doorway. Naomi's eyes softened, and she stood up, addressing him, "Hey, Charles."
Charles entered as he opened the door. What caught his eye was the person standing by the bed, her eyes smiling, looking at him with warmth and gentleness.
Suddenly, the image of her from the video floated before his eyes. She was so beautiful and serene that he dared not blink while looking at her.
At that moment, his heart skipped a
beat, then raced uncontrollably. Gripping the door handle tightly, he suppressed the turmoil within, nodded at her, returned a warm smile, and then closed the door.
Amelia observed Charles, especially his gaze toward Naomi, and her laughter became even more joyful.
Charles approached, his gaze fixed on the person standing by the bed, observing her clothes and pants. His heart raced uncontrollably.
His mother's friend was the founder of an independent designer brand. The clothes in the shop were all personally designed, displaying a distinctive style and elegance.
He had never bought clothes for a
woman before and was unsure about what to choose. However, when his mother's friend looked at Naomi's photos and selected a few outfits for him to choose from, he immediately set his eyes on this particular set.
He felt that she would look stunning in it.
Indeed, she looked absolutely captivating.
"Charles, how is your grandmother doing?" Amelia, seeing Charles' eyes almost glued to Naomi, had to speak up to interrupt him.
There was no choice. Naomi had thin skin, and they were not yet in a romantic relationship. Some jokes were off-limits.
Therefore, it was necessary to bring Charles back to normal.
