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 375Watching Shannon's poker face, Naomi couldn't help but sigh. She walked up to Shannon, reached out her hand, and pushed the corners of his mouth upward with her fingers. "Brother, you need to smile more from now on. You have such a charming smile. If you always have this poker face, the audience will laugh at you for being a lame actor." Naomi deliberately warned. However, Shannon wasn't worried at all. "Are you forgetting that I won the Best Actor Award?" They had just confirmed that they were siblings, and she was doubting his acting skills? "Since you entered show business, you've always played cool and domineering roles. Don't you dare play an affectionate role?" Naomi spat out her tongue and argued. Shannon's handsome face immediately showed a hint of gloom. He couldn't smile easily at strangers. "Looks like having a sister isn't so great." Shannon concluded, as if his enthusiasm had cooled a bit. Naomi immediately regretted it. She played cute
Chapter 376 After spending a few hours with Shannon last night, and as Shannon turned out to be Naomi's brother, she naturally called Shannon as brother. Shannon looked back at her. The sunlight shone on his handsome face. He looked like a superhero from the comics. "Good morning." He turned around and saw Naomi's bare feet. His face immediately darkened. "Put your slippers on." "Okay." Naomi spat out her tongue. Then she turned around and went to find her slippers. It had been a long time since she was hissed at like this. Just as Naomi was about to go upstairs, suddenly, the doorbell rang. 'Who would it be at such an early hour?' Naomi didn't put on her slippers but went straight to the door. On the visual doorbell, Jack was standing outside the door in a casual outfit, carrying a bag in his hand. Jack's perfect face and delicate features looked so attractive on the screen. At such an early hour, Jack surprised Naomi in such a way! Naomi couldn
Chapter 377"Put your shoes on." The two guys walked into the living room. They both stared at Naomi’s bare feet. Naomi blushed with embarrassment, and she immediately reassured them, "I'll put them on them right now, OK?" When she got her slippers on and came downstairs, she saw the two guys sitting across from each other at the dining room table. The expressions on their faces were so serious, as if they were having a business negotiation; hostility was in their eyes. Naomi stood on the stairway and hesitated for a moment. ’Can I get out of here quietly?' However, when the idea just occurred to her, the two guys noticed her at the same time. "I'm coming..." Naomi had to curl up the corners of her mouth and put on an awkward smile. She walked towards the dining table and sat at the head of the table. When she got to the table, she was embarrassed to find that there were two breakfasts in front of her. One was brought by Jack, and the other was cooked by Shannon.
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
