Chapter 367"Are you two really here to ask about marriage?" The hunchbacked man's face was so serious that Naomi suddenly turned anxious. "What’s the problem?" Jack looked disgruntled and spoke in a low tone. Immediately the atmosphere became tense. The hunchbacked man was shocked by his terrible tone and could not help but shrink his neck. A trace of doubt flashed in Jack's eyes because this man’s behaviors were strange. "Ahem!" The hunchbacked man cleared his throat and slightly narrowed his eyes, saying, "Nothing. Each of you two draws a card." "Hmm." Naomi bowed her head and was about to draw the second card. She suddenly felt the warmth and then found that his hand touched hers because he also wanted to draw the second one. They subconsciously wanted to draw the same card. Naomi felt sweet, but the hunchbacked man frowned and slurped. "Oh, my god..." It seemed that he saw something terrible in the card they had drawn. "What's wrong?" Naomi's heart was in
Chapter 368Jack grabbed Naomi's shoulder and forced her to stare at him. "Our fate is only in our hands. Do you understand?" ‘She originally wanted to listen to some auspicious words, but now the hunchbacked man’s words make her worried!’ Seeing Naomi’s scared face, he shook her shoulder and raised his voice. "Kid! Did you hear me?" "Ah... I heard that." Only then did Naomi come to her senses and respond slowly. "Mister Daddy, I'm a little tired. Let's go back." "Okay." Jack reached out and pulled her up. Then they walked away together. As soon as Naomi lifted her legs, she froze like a statue, feeling cold all over her body. "What's the matter?" Jack followed her gaze and saw the wishing fountain. Then he narrowed his eyes instantly, and his face turned gloomy and dark. A piece of ground next to the wishing fountain was wet and in the middle of it was a coin, which was different from the other coins in the fountain because it was from a small country. They just threw this
Chapter 369Queenie swallowed hard, and before the phone rang for the second time, she answered with a slight trembling.“Miss Miles, you made me suffer a great loss this time.”A chuckle sounded on the other end of the phone. Although the man’s voice was gentle, it sent a chill down her spine. It seemed that tens of thousands of sharp knives hid in his laughter!“I didn’t expect Naomi’s master to take such action! But don't worry, for I will kill Naomi to avenge you!”“No, no, no.”The man hurriedly stopped her, and then he said in a teasing tone.“It’s a pity to let her die like this. I’ve realized that Jack prefers her to you now. I can’t wait to meet this amazing girl!”“You...”Queenie’s eyes turned red with anger. She couldn’t believe that even this man began to appreciate Naomi.“Miss Miles, you don’t have to be nervous. We are partners, and you are still valuable to me. But I won’t allow such an incident to happen again!”When it came to the last sentence, the man’s
Chapter 370“Miss, I found the man who dug your mother’s grave in the cemetery last time!”Naomi raised her eyebrows and immediately asked, “Who is it?”“Uh ...”“Uncle Zach, don’t be mealy-mouthed about it. Please tell me quickly!”‘Who dared to dig my mother’s grave? I can’t wait to give that person a good beating and bury him under the ground!’ she thought.But at the other end of the phone, Uncle Zach’s tone became very hesitant.“We got the surveillance video, which clearly shows that only Shannon’s assistant, Evan, passed your mum’s grave at that time...”“Evan?”Naomi widened her eyes in disbelief, and she slumped down in her chair in a daze!“How could this happen?”Evan was Shannon’s assistant, so he must have obeyed Shannon’s order!She always regarded Shannon as a good person!Why on earth had Shannon done this?Thinking of Shannon’s ignorance of her messages these days and the guilty look in his eyes that day, Naomi felt extremely uneasy. Had Shannon been lyin
Chapter 371“Uncle Zach, if you don’t receive a message from me within half an hour, please call the police.”Naomi shut the door while secretly sending a message to Zhou Zach.There were so many mysteries about Shannon, so she had to guard against him.“Use this to wipe yourself clean.”Naomi handed Shannon a towel, went to the kitchen and poured him a cup of hot water.“Thank you.”Shannon took the towel and slowly dried his hair. Although he was in a mess, he still remained graceful.People could tell at first glance that he was a well-bred gentleman cultivated by a good family.Naomi narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Shannon in confusion.‘Why did such a man dig my mother’s grave?’ she thought.“Since you really have a good relationship with my mother, why did you dig my mother’s grave?"“Because I don’t believe she’s dead.”“What did you say?”Naomi was overwhelmed with astonishment. She straightened herself up and leaned closer to Shannon.“As you can see, t
Chapter 372“Yes.”“If that’s the case, why hasn’t Mum mentioned you to me or brought you to see me in these years?”Naomi couldn’t help coming up with a lot of questions.“There are many complicated reasons.”Shannon’s expression became grim again.“Mom’s original name is Lucas.”Shannon dipped his index finger in the water stain on the table and wrote the name “Lucas”.His handwriting was neat and beautiful, just like the impression he gave others.“The Shaw family has been known for its superb medical skills, but only men are allowed to inherit them. In our mother’s generation, only she has the talent to study medicine and inherit the will of our ancestors. So Grandpa always declared to others that Mom was a boy. Mom could no longer tolerate such rigid family rules, so she changed her name and left the Shaw family.”“Mom did a good job!”Naomi banged on the table with excitement and couldn’t help parsing her mother.Shannon took a deep look at her sister, and he couldn’t
Chapter 373“About the truth of that accident...”Shannon suddenly took out his mobile phone, opened a photo and handed his phone to Naomi.The photo showed nine different patterns, which were put together.“When the plane crashed, you were with Mom. Did you see these logos at that time? Even if it is one of them, please tell me.”Naomi took the phone over and saw the familiar dragon pattern in the center of the photo at a glance.“This dragon pattern...” Naomi said with hesitation.“Have you seen it before?”Shannon narrowed his eyes and immediately asked.“Yes. But I’m not sure if it’s my illusion or my memory.”Naomi narrowed her eyes and tried to recall the past, but she couldn’t get a clear picture in her mind.“It doesn’t matter. You were still a child at that time, and it’s understandable that you can’t remember what happened.”Shannon comforted her in a soft voice, and in his heart, Naomi was still a little girl forever.“I remember I fell to the ground, and there
Chapter 374Shannon carried a faint herbal scent, which was so different from Jake's. Shannon smelled like Naomi's mom when Naomi was a little girl. Naomi's panic-stricken heart immediately settled down. A few seconds later, the lightning was over. "Were you scared?" Shannon held Naomi's shoulders and surveyed her with an anxious look on his face. "Pfft!" Naomi burst out laughing. "What are you laughing at?" A confused look flashed across Shannon's handsome face. Then something occurred to him, and his face immediately changed color. He hurriedly reached out and touched Naomi's forehead. "Are you freaked out?" "No, I'm not!" The cozy atmosphere between the two was immediately gone. Naomi sighed in silence. She slapped Shannon's hand away. It seemed Shannon was not good at being a brother on his first day on this “job”. "I'm just happy. I didn't expect I'd have a family besides my mom and dad." Shannon was stunned at Naomi's words. After a few seco
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
