Chapter 1040: Chapter 1040 Respect

In the hospital, Naomi was feeling better.

When Nelson arrived at the hospital, she was being brought by a nurse to bask in the sun. He walked towards her with a bouquet of roses in his hand.

“This is for you!” Nelson said with a smile. “I saw a flower shop by the roadside, so I bought some for you!”

Since they had been together in the ward recently, the nurse knew that they were lovers. When she saw this, she immediately stepped back.

“I’m going to get something. You guys can talk!”

After that, the nurse walked away.

Nelson smiled at Naomi and asked, “So, where does Miss George want to go next?”

Naomi shook her head and said, “Nowhere. Let’s just sit here for a while!”

They were on a bench in the flower garden of the hospital. The view of the place was gorgeous and there were many people passing by.

Naomi looked at the view for a while, and suddenly she spotted a young couple talking to each other.

In the hospital, due to the fact that many of their other halves were hospitalized, many couples dated in the garden. That was understandable.

However, that couple was not the same as others.

The patient wore protective clothing from the ICU and the hair on her head was almost gone due to chemotherapy. She looked haggard.

“Do I look ugly?” The girl, Eunice, touched her cheek worriedly.

The boy, Arthur, shook his head and replied, “No, you look beautiful!”

“You’re lying! My hair is going to fall all off. How can I look beautiful?”

“You are the most beautiful girl in my heart!” Arthur said as he took out a gift from behind his back.

“This is for you!”

Eunice took it and opened the gift. There was a long black wig inside.

“You like having long hair the most. I specially ordered this for you! After you put it on, we can go to the movies together!”

Eunice’s eyes brightened as she said, “Can you help me to put it on?”

Arthur nodded. He took the wig, turned around and helped Eunice to put it on.

Naomi sighed with gratification as she said, “This kind of scene is always so touching!”

When Nelson saw her actions, he stretched his hand out and grabbed hers.

“Shall we move over there?”

Naomi shook her head and said, “Nelson, let’s get married, shall we?”

Nelson was stunned for a moment before he nodded. He replied, “Of course! However, why do you suddenly want to get married?”

Naomi sighed, “It’s just that after experiencing life and death, I suddenly feel that life is incredibly fragile. This time, I got lucky. If things were worse, I might not have woken up and we would have missed out on a lot. Nelson, I want to become Mrs. Luther. Let’s live our lives together from now on.”

“Okay! Of course I want the same too!”

He was even thinking about how their future house would look like and its interior and so on! Truth be told, he was also looking forward to it quite a lot.

“However, we will need to make preparations for the wedding! When you get discharged from the hospital, we will start preparing for it, okay?”

Naomi nodded and said, “Okay! When the time comes, we’ll plan for it together.”

They looked at each other and laughed.

After that, strong wind began to blow. Nelson stretched his hand out and wrapped it around Naomi’s shoulder. He said lovingly, “Let’s go. I’ll bring you back to your ward.”

The two of them walked to the elevator. When they turned around, they saw Arthur and Eunice looking at each other outside.

Back in the ward, Naomi was still thinking about Eunice.

“They are really pitiful.”

Nelson pressed his lips together and asked, “Perhaps you want to help her?”

Naomi nodded and said, “You really do understand me. I just think that in front of her lover, she is the most beautiful, right? I just saw her boyfriend’s attire and thought that he must have spent a lot of money on her treatment. I just want to give her a few sets of beautiful clothes.”

“That’s easy. I’ll help you arrange for that!”

“Alright!” Naomi said with a smile.

Nelson kept his word. On the next day, he brought over a lot of beautiful clothes. Not only that, but he had also helped Eunice by applying some medical funds for her from some charities.

Nelson handed everything to her as he said, “Give these to her!”

Naomi could not help but kiss Nelson on his cheek.

“You’re so awesome!”

Nelson pointed to the other side of his cheek and said, “I want more.”

Naomi rolled her eyes at him before saying, “How greedy!”

Then, she walked forward. After she took two steps forward, she turned back, and kissed Nelson on the other side of his cheek.

“Come with me!”

Soon, the two of them found Eunice’s ward and walked over.

The ICU ward was different from normal wards. Firstly, it was quiet, filled with frosty silence.

It was so silent that even a drop of a pin could be heard, its atmosphere gloomy. The air was also filled with the smell of disinfectant that was more intense than ordinary wards.

Naomi disliked the feeling, but since she had already come, she hoped to bring a little joy to Eunice.

“She’s up ahead!” Nelson pointed.

At the same time, Eunice’s boyfriend, Arthur, came out from inside. Naomi quickly walked up to him and said, “Hello, it’s good to see you. Are you here to invite your girlfriend, Eunice, for a movie? This is for you. I think she will like it!”

When Arthur heard this, he tightened his hold on the movie tickets in his hand instantly.

“Thank you, but there’s no need for that. She’s dying!”

Naomi’s heart skipped a beat as she asked in disbelief, “What did you say?”

“Her parents are inside. It’s all my fault! Why didn’t I take her to the cinema earlier? It’s all my fault!”

The clothes in Naomi’s hands suddenly weighed a thousand pounds. Naomi subconsciously took two steps forward and stood at the door of the ward.

The door of the ward opened, and a middle-aged woman who looked like Eunice appeared.

“Arthur, come quickly! Eunice wants to see you…”

Arthur hurriedly turned around and stumbled in. The door slammed shut again, and a low sob came from inside.

Naomi looked at the movie tickets that had fallen to the ground, and suddenly felt as if her heart had been pierced by a knife.

She knew that humans would die sooner or later.

However, seeing such a scene with her own eyes, a young life fading away like that, was devastating.

She thought that Arthur and Eunice would live to see better days, but life was so unpredictable.

How could she be so sure of that possibility?

“Can we help them?” Naomi suddenly asked.

Nelson nodded and immediately took out his phone to make a call.

As for Naomi, she went to talk with the hospital administrator. She wanted to see if they could allow Nelson to bring movie equipment into the hospital.

Fortunately, the hospital was kind towards terminally ill patients. Everything went smoothly. After half an hour, everything was brought to the hospital.

The conference room behind the hospital served as a temporary movie theater.

Naomi and the others watched the movie, entering the venue one by one. Then, the lights were turned off.

It was a movie about goodbyes. The whole event was a farewell bid to her life, and also a respect paid to Eunice.
