My Second Husband novel Chapter 1009

It had been a surprising and exhilarating event for Naomi because Amos would no longer stand in the way of her and Nelson's happiness from then on.

They could be together!

Therefore, she took no notice of Amos' words about the miseries that she might encounter in the future.

After thanking Amos, she brought Nelson back to the next ward to rest. On the same afternoon, after Eudora's condition stabilized, Amos went through the discharge procedures and really brought her back home for recuperation.

After Naomi left in the evening, Nelson got up and made a phone call to Richard.

"Come to my ward instantly!"

Richard had constantly been paying attention to Nelson's news. Therefore, he knew that Nelson was in the hospital. At first, he wanted to visit him.

However, as soon as Richard arrived at the hospital, he was hurried back by Monique's call.

Monique instructed, "On behalf of the corporate head office, I'm sending you to Floral City for a business trip that will last for half a month. Depart at once!"

Richard guessed that Monique must have taken action. Of course she would definitely not allow Nelson to act against her will.

"Miss Monique, we all respect you, but I really don't understand what you intend to do this time? To be honest, such an arrangement is not good for you at all!"

Monique glanced at him as she said, "It seems that you have forgotten who your boss is!"

Richard sneered, "It's because I am overly concerned that you're my boss, that's exactly why I've been listening to you! However, look at the results? If it weren't for Mr. Luther's good luck, he would have died this time, right? Miss Monique, please forgive me for not being able to listen to you this time! I want to tell everything to Nelson!"

"Whatever!" Monique was still as composed as before.

"Well, that might not be necessary. I reckon that he isn't stupid and should have guessed it by now. Nonetheless, you are not supposed to tell him, so watch your big mouth! Anyway, I can't stop you if you want to tell anyone. For your information, Nelson's mother is now living abroad in my villa.

How do you think I should deal with her?"

These words had made Richard's blood run cold as he said, "You..."

They had been too naive to believe that Monique would help them. History had always taught people that those who collude with unscrupulous individuals would come to no good in the end.

"What do you want me to do?" said Richard dejectedly.

"Very well. I always knew that you're a smart person. You just need to keep your mouth shut and go on a business trip!"

At the airport, Richard held his phone tightly and whispered to Nelson through the phone, "I'm sorry, Mr. Luther. I need to deal with some affairs in the company in person. I'll be boarding soon. That's all. Bye!"

Before Nelson could reply to him, the call ended!

Nelson frowned as he looked at the phone in his hand.

Suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside, and Monique walked in coquettishly.

"I bet you must have a lot of questions to ask me."

Nelson's face turned sombre when he raised his head and saw Monique.

"It's you, isn't it? You were the one who ordered people to kidnap me and the Granger family!"

Candid with him, Monique nodded her head without hesitation.

"It was me!"

"What on earth do you want to do? I have made it very clear last time that I..."

"What's wrong? Do you think I'll return kindness with ingratitude?"

Nelson felt perplexed as Monique was taking out a cigarette. However, she didn't light it. She just played with it in her hand for a while.

"If it weren't for my help, do you think your relationship with Naomi could develop so fast? You owe me a 'thank you', don't you?"

Upon hearing her, Nelson furrowed his brows. The incident had indeed improved their relationship. However, the whole process had been a bit shocking and unbearable for him.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"Why should I? Would you agree with my plan if I did? I've warned you that being in this dangerous line of work, we shouldn't fall in love with anyone! What's happening to you? Have you forgotten what you have said? If that's the case, then Naomi..."
