Chapter 1053: Chapter 1053 I Can Be Your Admirer

Benedict said, “I’m telling the truth.”

“I’ve thought it through. Perhaps it’s because I’ve died once, but instead of wasting my life to pursue someone who can’t put me in their eye, it’s better to devote my time to other meaningful commitments. I have been in poor health since I was a child. If it weren’t for my parents, who kept on saving me again and again, I would have truly died.”

“I noticed that Mom has seemed to age a lot when I woke up just now. I feel extremely guilty for that. Therefore, I’m sorry!”

“Naomi, I said that I would love you forever, but I might now need to quit that mission early!”

Although his words were not pleasant to the ear, Naomi was overjoyed for him from the bottom of her heart.

Naomi gave him a sincere grin while saying, “It’s okay! No matter where you go, I hope you’ll always be happy and able to make your wishes come true!”

Benedict nodded and replied, “Alright, you too!”

“Yes, I will!”

“So, when do you want to marry Nelson?”

Naomi was taken aback for a while before saying, “Uh, we’re still planning things out for the time being. We might have an engagement before the marriage. However, we will only do that when all the matters have settled and after we get my parents’ blessings.”

Benedict pursed his lips and said, “Well, I wish you a happy engagement. I might not be able to attend your wedding since I’m going to Country M after I’ve recovered. There’s a very famous medical university there, and I might go there to study medicine.”

Naomi was gobsmacked.

“You’re going to study medicine?!” He had not shown any intentions of learning medicine since he was a child.

Benedict said with a faint smile, “Are you that surprised? Truth be told, the answer is rather simple. I’ve wanted to learn it since I was a child because I wanted to know more about my own body. It would be best if I could cure myself so that my parents wouldn’t have to worry about me. It’s just that later onwards, I…”

He glanced at Naomi and instantly turned away.

“I gradually forgot about my original goals due to a lot of incidents. Now that I’m ready to live for myself, I should do what I like.”

Naomi nodded and said, “Okay! Then, I hope that one day, you can become a world-renowned doctor. When I consult you in the future, remember to give me a discount!”

“You’d better not come! I don’t want you to get sick because of a discount.”

Naomi was baffled for a second before she let out a laugh.

“You’re right!”

The sun shone in through the big window on the other side of the bed. Naomi and Benedict looked at each other and laughed.

It seemed that ever since their relationship had changed, they hadn’t genuinely beamed at each other as they were doing at that moment.

Naomi really cherished the moment, and she also wished the best for him.

Benedict, on the other hand, finally decided to get over Naomi and move on. Seeing how elated Naomi was, he eventually let go of his worries.

He would have his own life in the future.

May God bless them.

…

Thea waited restlessly outside the ward as Eudora and Tina were accompanying her.

She asked nervously, “What are they talking about?”

She was a bundle of nerves.

Benedict had just woken up. She was afraid that Naomi would say something unpleasant and irritate him.

She liked Naomi a lot, but Benedict was her own son nonetheless.

Eudora comforted her, “It’ll be fine. Naomi will know what to do.”

“That’s right! Benedict isn’t a presumptuous guy either. Don’t worry about them!”

Thea still seemed troubled as she said, “But…”

In the end, it was Harley’s words that soothed her nerves. He said, “It would be better for the young ones to let them resolve their matters by themselves. We should believe in Benedict!”

Looking at Harley’s reassuring smile, she felt a little at ease at last.

“Alright then!”

However, an absurd situation took place a few moments later.

Thea kept looking inside as the other parents, who had consoled her, did the same too.

They were all stretching their heads out to peek in from time to time. In the end, everyone in the corridor thought that there was something good in the position over there.

Those who passed by, all craned their necks to look in that direction.

When Naomi opened the door and came out, she was greeted with inquiring gazes from everyone.

She was so puzzled that she thought she had a wardrobe malfunction. She quickly checked her outfit once and found that nothing was wrong with it.

Then, she looked at the crowd and asked, “What’s happening?”

Everyone turned to look at Eudora, Tina and Thea. Eudora was the first to come to her senses and turned her head away while saying.

Eudora was the first to come to her senses and turned her head away while saying, “Nothing! We’re just chatting, aren’t we?”

Tina agreed by saying, “Yes, there’s nothing wrong here.”

Seeing the situation, the other passersby left awkwardly.

Thea hurriedly asked, “How is it? Is Benedict okay?”

Naomi replied, “He is alright. He said that he’s hungry, so I’m going to buy him something to eat.”

Thea was surprised, she asked, “What? He’s hungry? Did he really say that?”

“Yeah, he did!”

“I’ll go and buy it, I’ll go!”

Harley grabbed her by the arm and said, “Thea, don’t you understand? He wants to eat something that has been bought by Naomi!”

Only then did Thea reply, “Oh, well then, Naomi, I’ll leave it to you.”

After that, Thea went into the ward.

Eudora caught up with Naomi and asked, “What did you say to Benedict?”

She was perturbed that Naomi would lie to Benedict. Although she might do so with good intentions, it would be a problem for her later.

Naomi told Eudora the truth, but she omitted the part about her engagement to Nelson.

“That’s right, Benedict has figured it out himself!”

“Is that really the case?”

“Yes! It’s great that Benedict has thought it through. He can do whatever he likes in the future. Well, I’ll go and buy the food.”

Watching Naomi leave, Eudora couldn’t help but sigh.

“My silly girl.”

That was to say, Benedict obviously knew that she liked Nelson, hence he had made up an excuse to quit the battle for her heart.

Amos saw that she was frowning, thus he held her hand fast.

“What’s wrong? What are you thinking about?”

“Nothing much. It’s just that I feel sorry for Benedict. He’s a good child, but it’s a pity that destiny never brought Naomi and him together. I really don’t understand children nowadays. By the way, why didn’t I have such a decent guy so in love with me when I was young?”

Hearing that, Amos became annoyed.

Only then did Eudora realize that she had stepped on a landmine.

“I didn’t say anything!”

Amos knitted his brows and said, “I’ve heard it! You want an admirer, don’t you? Let’s see how I’ll deal with you!”

As he was speaking, he approached her step-by-step and drove Eudora into the corner.

She looked around and found that there would be people passing by every so often. Then, she asked with a note of resistance in her voice.

Then, she asked with a note of resistance in her voice, “What are you doing? This is a public place.”

The next second, Amos lowered his head and smiled gently at Eudora, as if he was a completely different person.

“Miss George, I’m Amos No. 2, and I like you very much.”

Eudora was flummoxed.

“Didn’t you say you want an admirer? I’m your admirer now. Do you like it?”
