In the evening, Richard said that he would take care of Nelson, therefore Naomi slept in the next room.
However, in the middle of the night, Richard heard Nelson's groans again, probably due to his wound beginning to hurt, and he could not stand the pain.
Richard was so anxious that he had no idea what to do.
"Mr. Luther, where do you feel the pain?"
However, Nelson had already passed out, so how could he reply to Richard's question?
Naomi pushed the door open and entered. At a glance, she saw Nelson's forehead covered in sweat. She hurriedly went to touch his forehead and said, "It's alright, he doesn't have a fever. This should be happening because the painkiller has worn off, therefore he's in pain. Bring the painkillers over!"
Richard shouted in assent and hurriedly brought the painkillers over.
A moment later, he came back with an apologetic look on his face.
"I'm sorry, Miss George. There was only one painkiller left in the medicine box I brought. There's no more left now!"
Naomi frowned, "Does Nelson know that you're such a cruel human being?"
Richard insisted, 'TH go out and buy some immediately. Please wait for a while!"
After that, he went out quickly.
Naomi had no clue what to do next, so she could only sit next to Nelson and coax him.
"Richard went out to buy painkillers. It will be alright soon!"
Nelson was in extreme pain. His forehead was beaded with sweat as he gritted his teeth.
Naomi was afraid that he would bite his tongue, therefore she hurriedly went to find something for him to bite on.
However, due to being overly anxious, she could not find anything else. She made up her mind and put her fingers into his mouth.
"Ahh!"
Naomi frowned and took a deep breath.
The pain was agonizing!
In order to relieve her pain, she could only sing to calm herself down.
So, she sang her favorite childhood song.
Nelson, who was still unconscious, heard the song and gradually calmed down. Eventually, he relaxed his gritted teeth.
By the time Richard returned with the painkillers, Nelson had already quieted down.
Naomi was leaning on Nelson's bedside and humming softly.
"...You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey.."
The scene of them together was incredibly heartwarming. Richard looked at the medicine in his hands, and decided that he should not enter in order to not disrupt the tranquil waters inside.
The next morning.
When Nelson woke up, he first felt the pain on his body.
He laid there in contemplation for a while, only then figuring out what he had gone through.
He remembered that Naomi had suddenly appeared and fought with those people in order to save him. His heart tightened and he wanted to get up immediately.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Naomi sleeping beside his bed.
The faint sunshine shone on her. She was still sleeping, and there was a touch of tenderness on her face, which made her look like the lively girl she used to be when she was a child.
Nelson looked at her, from her brows to her hands, which were placed on the back of his hand.
Her hands were different from other girls'. Normally, girls' hands were fair and soft, some of them even having manicures with all kinds of dazzling rhinestones.
Naomi's hands were extremely clean, her fingernails trimmed extremely short but neat. There were thin calluses on her palms which gave off a sense of security.
Nelson looked at her hand, and his gaze fell on the bright red tooth mark on her finger.
The tooth imprint was deep, about to bleed out.
