"Woah, they paid ten times the compensation. I guess their wallets are bleeding.""Oh? I didn't expect this." Naomi paused and raised her eyebrows in surprise."Well, the money has arrived. They probably made a lot of money recently with the formula you gave last time.""Heh...they will pay the price sooner or later." Naomi curled her lips coldly, and looked at Susan meaningfully."How's that going?""Don't worry, everything is going well! This is your big business, and I'll be watching closely!"Susan made an 'ok' gesture and winked playfully."That's good. By the way, the money will be used for public relations and to clarify the recent rumors."Just as Naomi finished speaking, Susan suddenly smiled mysteriously. "No need, someone has already clarified it for you.""Ah? Who is it?""Who else could it be? Of course, it's your Prince Hough!"Susan teasingly took out her phone, brought up the Twitter interface, and handed it to Naomi."There was no negative news about Shaw C
"Of course not! I have prepared a big gift!"Naomi did not notice the man's sudden approach. She turned around and brought out a bowl of dark liquid from the kitchen. Jack's small movements did not attract the little girl's attention, so he glanced down at the bowl of dark liquid with disgust. "What's this?""Didn't you get hurt last night? This is the tonic I specially made for you. Drink it now."Naomi stared at Jack earnestly. However, indifferent rejection was written all over his face."I don't need medicine for this minor injury.""No, you don't understand how terrible a wound infection can be. This tonic not only heals wounds but also strengthens the body. It is also very good for the eyes... Ah! No!"Halfway through her words, Naomi stopped abruptly. Right then, she met Jack's sharp gaze, and her heart skipped a beat! Oops! She was too anxious, and she spoke too quickly!She hoped that she was not busted."Um... I mean, if I hurt you, I have an obligation to keep
The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and he put half of the autumn pear cake into his mouth."Well, it's very sweet.""Is that so? I think so too. When I give you medicine next time, I will definitely prepare some autumn pear cake!""Do I still need to drink more of this?""Of course, until I think you're fully recovered! I'm the doctor and I have the final say..."The two of them chatted and walked upstairs side by side. Twilight elongated their shadows and projected them on the ground, intertwining intimately. In the corner, Old Mister Hough, who had been hiding in the kitchen and observing for a long time, let out a long sigh of relief.He also stretched out his hand excitedly and gave Smith a high five."Finally! This stinky boy finally got out of his shell!"Smith also nodded in agreement."I've never seen Sir take the initiative to spoil a girl so much."When Old Mister Hough heard this, he laughed so hard that his eyes turned into slits."Hahaha, I'm go
The next morning.The family was eating at the dining table. Naomi prepared another batch of medicine for Jack, and put a piece of autumn pear cake in thoughtfully."Drink it once this morning, and you don't need to drink it at night. It's better to drink it early than to drink it late. Hurry up and drink it, alright?" Naomi spoke softly like a pediatrician coaxing a child. "Okay." Jack nodded lightly, picked up the bowl and drank it. The atmosphere between the two became polite and distant.Old Mister Hough did not see the changes between the two, so he took out two more tickets and secretly tried to match them again."Today happens to be a day off, and another movie blockbuster is coming out. Do you two want to go see it?" "I…""I'm not going." Jack was about to speak, but the little girl beside him spoke one step ahead of him and coldly refused.The atmosphere at the dining table suddenly turned cold, and Jack glanced sideways at the little girl, only to hear Naomi's a
"No, I'm still one last step away from my exam. I'm not an official student of a medical university, so I should abide by the rules of the hospital. Also, this way, the patients can feel at ease. Besides, volunteers can also learn a lot," Naomi explained earnestly.Naomi insisted on learning medicine over the years, and her technique had also been recognized by Doctor Sims.However, in the end, she did not have much hands-on experience. In order to be responsible for future patients and to pursue higher medical skills, she decided to study hard in the hospital to enrich herself with practical experience.After hanging up Doctor Sims's phone call, she was passing by the small garden of the inpatient department when she heard a burst of a child's cry. "Ah! Take it away! I won't eat it!"When Naomi heard the sound, she stepped forward and saw a young boy punching and kicking the young doctor opposite him.The young male doctor was saying in a soft voice, "Be good, you will feel bette
She reached out and gently stroked her swollen face, and immediately let out a 'hiss' in pain.Looking at Naomi, her gaze became colder.Yesterday, the rich boyfriends she hooked up with came looking for her with photos of her cheating on them.It made her extremely embarrassed, and some of them even beat her.Not only was her face swollen, but she was even pushed to the ground. The condition was so serious that she had to be hospitalized.These were all thanks to Naomi!"Naomi, I will make your life a living hell!" Clarissa breathed fire. Thinking of their conversation just now, she suddenly had a plan."Clarissa, why are you here? I have already completed my procedures with the hospital. Come with me to the VIP ward." At this time, Lilian came from behind.Clarissa curled her lips coolly and turned to look at her mother. "Mom, can you go find a volunteer for me..."…When Naomi got to the personnel office, she quickly got her clothes and changed into them. As soon as she
"You! Naomi, you despicable woman!" Clarissa was so angry that her face was all twisted into a ferocious look.She had wanted to humiliate Naomi, but she never expected to be almost crippled by Naomi!She was so angry her whole body was shaking. She grabbed the pager on the wall, "I'll complain about you abusing a patient! I'll have you kicked out of the hospital!"As Clarissa said that, she hurriedly pressed the emergency complaint and life-saving buttons. She had a pleased look in her eyes.She wanted to turn this into a big deal. She would completely ruin Naomi's reputation. No more hospitals in Gin city will ever want Naomi anymore!Clarissa was an SVIP patient, so the head nurse, the department head and even the director of the hospital all appeared in a hurry. Lilian shouted out very loudly, and a group of patients and employees gathered at the entrance to witness the scene.Was Naomi done for this time?!When Clarissa saw the director there, she immediately pulled up he
Did she lose her basic moral principles as a doctor, and did something to harm a patient?!Lilian had a pleased and happy look on her face."Did all of you hear that? She admitted it herself. Director, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and make her leave!" A smile started to surface on Clarissa's face as well. This time, she had completely won over Naomi. She was going to trample all over Naomi!However, Naomi spoke at the next second, "I wasn't trying to hurt her. I was treating her."Her clear voice was incredibly calm. It caused the whole place to go quiet."Ha… I've never heard about bruising someone to treat them! Stop trying to twist things around! Do you think we're dumb?!"Do you have anyone who can prove your innocence?" Lilian mocked Naomi, deliberately trying to fan the anger of the spectators at Naomi."I can prove her innocence!""Mister Craig?"The director abruptly turned his head at that voice. The crowd made way as they looked at Mister Craig w
Chapter 473"Of course not!" Naomi shook her head and answered firmly. "I'm a doctor. Trust me. I will cure you!" Naomi then reached out to smooth Jack's furrowed brows. "Don't think about those horrible things. It's all in the past." "All right," Jack said as he grabbed Naomi's soft hand and rubbed it in his palm. The anger and fear in Jack's heart faded at a glimpse of Naomi. Jack's face eased up. He went on peacefully, "Luckily, then I met a girl. She saved me." "I see." Naomi responded, jealousy in her heart. ‘Obviously, that girl was Queenie. ‘Speaking of Queenie, Mister Daddy becomes so tender. ‘All right! Queenie will always be your angel!' Naomi got angry when she remembered what Queenie and Jack's mother had done to her at the wedding. ‘But Mister Daddy trusts Queenie so much, and Mrs. Hough is his mother. Whose side will Stinky Daddy be on if conflict breaks out among us in the future?' Naomi hung her head down. She had little confidenc
Chapter 472 Sean was speechless. He scratched his hair. Professor Gregory sighed. He stood up and turned to go. "Maybe there is going to be another storm."It was cold at night.Naomi sat on the steps by the fountain at the Base. She clutched her legs in her arms. Jack draped his jacket over her shoulders. "It's cold." "You're the patient. You need it more than I do." Naomi wanted to take the jacket off, but Jack stopped her and took her into his arms. "I'm all healed up." "Really?" Naomi looked at him suspiciously. Then Jack grabbed Naomi's hand and slipped it under his shirt. Touching his hot skin, immediately, Naomi blushed. "What are you doing? We're in a public place..." "I'm just letting you check me out." Jack replied calmly, innocence in his eyes. "All right," Naomi felt extremely embarrassed. She felt ashamed of her thoughts. Jack raised his eyebrows. He sensed her embarrassment. He deliberately leaned in and teased, "You want to d
Chapter 471Jack's eyes showed a glint of embarrassment, which meant he admitted it. "Sean said you couldn’t sleep well. I remember you always had to hold something while you slept..." He wanted to say that Naomi had to hold him to sleep well, but he swallowed it. Naomi's eyes twinkled. Immediately, she felt something pinch her heart hard. "Since you don't like it, give it back to me.” Jack was about to take the doll away. "No! You gave it to me. How can you take it back?" Naomi hid the doll behind her back. Just as Naomi was grabbing the doll, suddenly Jack opened his arms and took both her and the doll tightly in his arms. Jack's unique and fresh scent immediately enveloped her. Falling into the familiar embrace, Naomi instantly got emotional. Her eyes welled up with tears. She quietly leaned into his arms, enjoying the moment. Jack held her tighter as if he was afraid she would run away again. He wanted to take it slow, but he couldn't hold it anymo
Chapter 470 A worried look flashed across Jack's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He averted his eyes. It was silent. Naomi's lips quivered. So many words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't get them out. "Uh... Are all your wounds healed?" "Yes." Jack replied indifferently. He sounded aloof. Naomi looked up at him, but he didn't look at her. Naomi didn’t know how much effort Jack had used to refrain from looking at her. But still, he sneaked a peek at her out of the corner of his eye. Naomi nervously gripped the doll with her fingers. She was looking for anything to say to Jack. ‘The doll... Right! ' Naomi immediately held up the doll and asked, "Did you give me this doll and the fruit that appeared on my windowsill these days?" "No." Jack bluntly answered. Jack remembered that Sean had told him earlier that anything Jack sent to Naomi, she would throw it away. ‘But Naomi can't sleep well if she doesn't have a doll to cudd
Chapter 469"Shooting the ninth ring will pass. My master shot the bull’s eye. Why didn't he pass?" Paulo questioned angrily. Robin also sneered at Jack, "Mr. Hough, you're not finding fault with Naom, are you?" Snap! Jack closed the folder abruptly, and everyone was shocked. The range fell silent! Jack looked Naomi steadily in the eye and replied calmly, "Your elbow is in the wrong place. You're shooting impulsively. And your breathing is not steady." Naomi blushed and lowered her eyes in embarrassment. Then Jack's low voice rang out above her head. "If you want to join the National Security Bureau, you have to do your best!" Immediately, Naomi's eyes flickered. She looked up at Jack. ‘Mister Daddy knows what I’m up to?' Their eyes met, and the look in Jack's eyes reassured her. "You're not good enough." "You're not fair." Saif spoke up angrily for Naomi. "In my opinion, it's you..." "Saif!" Naomi stopped Saif. The anger was gone from her face, a
Chapter 468 "I'm sorry." "It's okay. Your nerves are too tight these days. You should relax a bit." Robin showed a worried look in his eyes. He handed Naomi a bottle. "I made the tea. It helps you calm down. Try it." "Have you had lunch, Master? Have a piece of cake!" Paulo handed Naomi a piece of cake, and Saif took out a handkerchief to wipe Naomi's sweat. For a moment, Naomi felt warmed by the concern of so many people. "Thank you all." "It’s OK. We are a team!" "Yeah, we're a team!" The four then burst out laughing at the same time. Not far away, Jack cast his eyes on Naomi. Seeing Naomi so close to the other three, he felt jealous. He got angry and clenched the pencil in his hand so hard that it broke into two! "The pencil broke?" Lily asked in surprise. Jack's face didn't change color. He picked up another pencil."The quality of the pencil is too bad."The test began. Everyone on each team had to hit the ninth ring, or the team‘’s score wo
Chapter 467Snap-- Just after Sean finished, the banana in Naomi's hand hit the ground. It rolled a few inches and stopped next to the trash can. Naomi felt like she was drenched by a bucket of ice water. She immediately came to her senses. Naomi was like a drowned rat, so frustrated and pathetic. Sean resisted the urge to tell her the truth and told Naomi to leave. "Miss Naomi, excuse me." "I'm sorry." Naomi turned in dismay. She walked aimlessly forward like a ghost. ‘I should forget about him, but why does my heart hurt so much?' "Naom!" Saif ran towards Naomi from not far away and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Your face looks awful. Do you want to go to the doctor?" "No, I'm fine, really!" Naomi shook her head. "Should I take you back to the dormitory to rest a bit? There's still some time before the shooting test." Saif reached out to help Naomi, but once again Naomi refused, "We should go straight to the range." Half of the trai
Chapter 466 "If they end up breaking up, I'm screwed!" "Don't worry!" Professor Gregory patted Sean's shoulder. "It took me only a month to win your mom’s heart. I know women. Trust me! You won't regret it!" "OK. I trust you!" Sean scratched his hair. Then he went to report to Jack with suspicion in his heart. As soon as Sean got into Jack’s room, he immediately put on a timid face. "Sir, Mrs. Hough didn't take anything you asked me to send to her. She said..." "What did she say?" "She said she hates you and that she never wanted to see you again!" Sean made it up deliberately. He was tense inside. Jack, who was lying in bed, showed a gloomy look in his deep eyes. Sean panicked and hurriedly asked, "Should I send her the stuff again?" "Yes. But you need to do it secretly." Jack replied without hesitation. "Don't let her know it's me." "Then what's the point of that?" Sean wondered. "I just want her to be happy." Jack dropped his eyes, and hi
Chapter 465“Okay.”Naomi’s tone was rather calm, as if it had nothing to do with her.In fact, she was totally stunned. But since things had become like this, there was nothing she could do to change the past. Sean widened his eyes and looked at Naomi in disbelief."That's your answer?"Naomi looked away, bypassed Sean and went away."I got to go."After saying that, she left like a ghost.Sean’s heart sank and he heavily sighed."Mrs. Hough doesn't want to be with Mr. Hough anymore. It’s doomed!”"Don’t talk nonsense!”Professor Gregory just returned back to the operating room. He stared at Naomi's back and said with a meaningful smile, "The two of them will get back together!” "How can that be? Didn't you see Miss Naomi's reaction?” Sean retorted.However, Professor Gregory answered like an experienced man, "Haven't you ever heard that one can make the best out of a bad situation?”......Naomi went back to the dormitory and closed her eyes after lying on the be
