After Culver said so, he walked out of the company unhesitatingly, leaving the badge behind.
Norman stomped his foot in anger, "What an unfilial son!"
Marilyn pursed her lips and said, "It's all Naomi's fault! She's such a jinx!"
Naomi stood by Nelson's side in the hospital.
Nelson, who was lying on the hospital bed, had not woken up, and his face seemed to have become even paler than the previous day.
"Is he seriously injured?"
"Um, no! The doctor said that he's fine."
"From the looks of it, he doesn't look okay at all."
As soon as Naomi finished her sentence, a few droplets of glaring red liquid gradually seeped through the gauze on his arm.
"There's blood! He's bleeding!"
Emma also panicked, "Doctor, please come over!"
After a while, the nurses rushed in and pushed the two of them out.
"Please wait outside. We'll need to perform emergency treatment for the patient!"
"Excuse me, what happened to him?"
Naomi wasn't a fool. Nelson's injury was too serious to be a result of getting beaten. There must be another reason for it.
However, the nurses had no time to explain things to her.
They locked the ward. Therefore, Naomi turned to look at Emma.
"You know something, don't you? Are you hiding something from me?"
"No, I don't!"
Naomi said gravely, "Emma, you've been changing your stance on Nelson's issue. Don't tell me that you already knew that he was sick! What kind of illness does he have?"
She managed to guess the truth.
Emma knew that she could not keep it a secret any longer.
She had no choice but to tell Naomi the truth.
"He told me not to let you know. Actually, he found out that he had cancer a long time ago. Didn't I ask you before if you wanted to know how he got out of prison? You didn't want to listen to me at that time. It was because he was ill, and he behaved well in the prison. So, his requisition for commutation had been authorized."
Naomi was totally dumbfounded.
"Emma, are you kidding me? How can he get cancer at such a young age? This is n't a TV show!"
"It's true! In fact, his illness has nothing to do with me. I didn't care about him at first. Do you remember the day when he came and stood below your apartment? After you fell asleep back then, I took a look at him out of curiosity. It just so happened that he passed out. It wasn't until I brought him to the hospital that I realized he hadn't come out to take revenge on you, but he wanted to patch things up for you during his last moments."
"Stop!"
Naomi covered her ears. "Leave me alone!"
After coming out of the company, Culver drove all the way to the hospital.
Seeing Naomi standing in the corridor, he anxiously ran over and grabbed Naomi's shoulders.
"Are you alright?"
Naomi raised her head in a daze and met Culver's eyes. She was stunned and took a step back subconsciously.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm sorry! I know everything now. My mother is the one who made things difficult for you. I've misunderstood you. I'll bear full responsibility for all of your losses I've caused. Don't worry!"
Naomi replied calmly, "Well, it doesn't matter anymore."
Culver frowned, "Naomi, I know it's hard for you to forgive me, but please give me some time. I can"
Naomi turned around and said, "No! I'll give you no more time because I'm going to leave Greene City soon. I will never come back here again!"
Culver was taken aback for a moment.
"It's okay. Where are you going? I'll go with you!"
Naomi looked at the closed ward door in front of her, saying, "No need, someone will accompany me!"
