'Til take you to the hospital!"
In the next instant, Nelson held her in his arms.
"Naomi, I won't do that again! I won't lie to you anymore!"
Naomi paused for a moment. The sorrow that she had already forgotten reappeared in her mind again.
She was like a child who had been wronged. Now that Nelson had brought up the matter again, she felt a prick in her heart.
Human nature was just so!
Naomi sniffed and made a sound of agreement in a low voice.
"Okay! I believe you!"
In the hospital, the doctor examined Nelson.
"It's just an external injury, nothing serious. Just go home and have a good rest!"
Naomi breathed a sigh of relief. After they came out from the hospital, Naomi had already missed her working hours.
She simply sent the plans and strategies that she had prepared to her colleagues and asked them to handle them.
She, on the other hand, accompanied Nelson back home.
She had not slept well the night before. After lunch, Naomi fell asleep.
Nelson got up and made a phone call. He said to the person on the phone, "Frida! Monique must have told you to assist to harm Naomi's organization, right? Stop it!"
"Mr. Luther..." Frida paused for a moment on the other end of the phone.
"That's enough! Frida! I understand your point. We're all under Miss Monique but we can make our own choices. Frida, we've said before that we wouldn't harm anyone innocent! I'll explain this matter to Monique!"
"No, Mr. Luther. Last night, we already took action on this matter!"
"What do you mean?"
Nelson pursed his lips and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about it?"
"I'm sorry, I just found out too. I was going to inform you! This time, Miss Monique instantly sent someone to do it! She does not believe in us anymore..."
Nelson held his phone tightly in his hand and asked, "What did she do?"
"I'm not very clear about the details, but I think the results will turn up soon!"
There was a short pause.
Frida spoke again, "Mr. Luther, don't mess with Miss Monique. She's incredibly powerful. We can't fight against her!"
Nelson pressed his lips together and said, "I'm not messing with her! I just don't want to implicate innocent people!"
"Who isn't innocent in this matter? Mr. Luther, we pity other people, but do they pity us in return? All of us here today have been despised and ignored by others. Who here hasn't experienced the coldness of others? I thought we would never experience love again! I thought that we would only work hard for the rest of our life!"
Nelson was stunned!
Memories of the past flashed in his mind bit by bit.
He thought about the time when he had been pushed into the freezing cold water!
No one had saved him. At that time, he had made up his mind that if he could start all over again, he would choose to become the bad guy!
Later on, he had not died. Instead, he was adopted by his adoptive parents and brought abroad. At that time, he had reckoned he could start all over again.
However, things were just like what Frida mentioned.
In the world, there was no mercy or kindness. His adoptive parents had passed away in an accident, and he became a homeless orphan after being cared for in a loving family.
His situation had been even more pitiful than before as he was abroad and was not familiar with the language. He had faced all kinds of malicious discrimination.
At that time, he had told himself the same thing.
He would never become a good person!
Therefore later, he really became a bad person. He joined Monique's organization. In their various training sessions, he climbed up the ladder by harming lots of people on his way.
Due to his hard work and vicious heart, he was able to make it to where he was today. Only then could he come back glamorously!
However, he suddenly was reluctant to become the bad guy anymore!
He met Naomi and saw that she had missed him for many years.
He suddenly forgot all the bitterness of the past, thinking that he was Vincent Granger yet again, who had always been happy, not the sorrowful Nelson...
"Mr. Luther?"
Frida's voice snapped him out of his daze again.
It was only then that Nelson realized that he had thought too much!
"I thought that I wouldn't love anymore too, but..."
"Mr. Luther!" Frida opened her mouth in surprise. She asked, "Have you really fallen in love with Miss George? Does Miss Monique know?"
"I won't delay my mission!" Nelson said in a deep voice. "I hope you don't tell her!"
"Of course I won't say it, Mr. Luther. I would've been dead if you hadn't taken care of me when I joined the organization back then! I'll keep this secret for you, I’m advising you to think this through! Although I don't know everything about this matter, but I’ m roughly aware of the circumstances. If Miss George finds out about the grudge between you and her parents, do you think she'll forgive you?"
Frida had brought up the key point of the matter.
That was also a thorn in his heart that he had kept for a long time.
"In the future, I will use the rest of my life to explain it to her!"
He seemed to be talking to Frida, but at the same time he was convincing himself. His tone had weakened due to his guilty conscience.
When he returned to his room, Naomi had not woken up yet.
Nelson slowly walked towards the bed and laid down beside her. However, he accidentally woke her up. When she saw him, she beamed.
"What time is it?"
"It's still early!" Nelson reached out his hand and hugged her. He said, "Let's sleep for a bit longer!"
Her head rested on his chest again, and soon he heard her snoozing.
Nelson lowered his head and gave her a faint kiss on the cheek as he sighed.
When she woke up again, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.
Her mobile phone rang loudly at the head of the bed, instantly waking them up. Naomi got up and answered the call, "Hello."
A panic-stricken voice came from the other end, "Miss Naomi, bad news! Something has happened!"
"What happened?" Naomi immediately sprang up.
"Illegal items have been found in Walter’s house in Movida Street! Now, the police have surrounded his house!"
"I'll be there right away!"
After Naomi finished speaking, she immediately put down the phone and changed her clothes.
Nelson had completely woken up as the incident seemed like one of Monique's doing. It really was Monique's style to make illegal items appear in someone's house!
"I'll go with you!" Nelson got up.
Naomi no longer had the time to talk to him. Since Nelson was still able to drive, she allowed him to follow her.
Movida Street was actually a food street.
After Naomi took over Leslie’ organization, she tried all means to disperse everyone from the organization. She even helped them build good careers.
Due to the fact that they did not have a good academic background, Naomi spent many years cultivating them.
She arranged for them to train in catering, sales, construction, technology, housekeeping, and many other sectors.
Most of the stores in Movida Street had been opened by Naomi's subordinates. After years of transformation, the street currently had other restaurants and had become Rosaville City's signature food street.
