Chapter 938: Chapter 938 Boyfriend

At the foot of the mountain.

After Eudora and Amos arrived, they asked the staff at the hotel and confirmed that Naomi was staying there.

However, Naomi had already gone out to participate in an event.

The two of them rushed to the scene of the event but they failed to see Naomi again.

Eudora hurriedly went to ask the other people that were around. Someone told her that there had indeed been a girl and her boyfriend who went up the mountain just a while ago.

Eudora and Amos instantly looked at each other.

“Boyfriend!”

Sure enough!

Amos frowned and said, “Wait for me in the hotel. I’ll go up the mountain!”

“I can’t wait any longer, so let’s go up the mountain together!”

Then, the two of them got ready to go up the mountain. Not long after that, they saw a figure coming down in a hurry from the mountain while carrying a person on their back.

“Everyone, please save him!” the person, who turned out to be Naomi, shouted.

Eudora was mystified and asked, “Naomi, what’s going on?”

Naomi appeared to be all in a fluster due to her tiredness from running and her worry for Nelson. Eudora was shocked by her state.

“Did he bully you?”

As he was speaking, Amos turned to look at Nelson fiercely.

Nelson had already passed out at the moment. Therefore, he was unable to feel any pressure either.

Naomi shook her head and said, “No, it’s him who saved me. Hurry up and look for a doctor. He got hit by a beam and his life is in danger!”

Only then did everyone come to their senses and anxiously began to call for a doctor.

…

After Nelson was sent into the emergency room in the hospital, Eudora took a tissue and slowly wiped the dust on Naomi’s face.

“What’s going on?”

Naomi shook her head and said, “We went up to see the design of the building. Then, one of the beams that supported the roof suddenly collapsed on top of me. He saved me from it.”

Eudora pursed her lips and said, “When are you going to tell me the truth? Is he just a client? I’ve already heard about it, you two are…”

Naomi nodded and replied, “Yes, he’s my boyfriend!”

Eudora was taken aback as she replied, “You’re only twenty years old…”

Naomi nodded and said, “Yes, Mom, I’m indeed already 20 years old! According to the law, I can already decide my own life. I don’t want to go against you, but I really like him!”

It was rare for Naomi to be so direct, and her bluntness astounded Eudora.

“You haven’t known each other for a long time, have you?”

Naomi nodded and said, “Yes, I’ve only met him three or four times! However, Mom, aren’t you and Dad in a relationship too? You two, out of all people, should know that how long a relationship lasts doesn’t depend on how long the two have known each other!”

Eudora understood Naomi’s words, but she was just worried that she would get hurt if she started dating from such a young age.

After all, Naomi was still young. Although she had always been quite mature since childhood, she was still an inexperienced girl when it came to feelings.

No matter how strong her self-awareness was, there were still some tricks that she failed to comprehend.

Eudora recalled about her three-year marriage with Felix. She realized that she had been too naïve, leading her to be deceived. She should have divorced him earlier on.

Surprisingly, she had managed to endure through their marriage for three years.

Naomi turned to look at Amos and asked, “Dad, can you understand what I’m saying?”

Amos pursed his lips and said, “I’ll investigate this matter first!”

Naomi shook her head and replied, “Dad, according to Uncle Clint, you’ve said before that trust is the key to a relationship. Hence, you’ve never investigated Mom even if you had many doubts before. Why can’t you respect me now? I want to know more about Nelson myself, rather than through the information in your hands. Can you understand where I’m coming from?”

Amos furrowed his brow and said, “Naomi…”

Eudora tried to smooth things over by saying, “Let’s not talk about this for now. We’ll talk about it later when we head back!”

After that, Eudora went to hold Amos’s hand and shook her head silently.

She knew her daughter the best. Although she was considerate, she could be very obstinate at times.

In the past, she had been easy to convince because she did not insist on anything. Now that she was adamant about dating Nelson, it was useless for them to say anything more.

They might as well not say anything for the time being.

After Eudora placated Amos, she came back and continued to wipe Naomi’s face. She said, “If anything happens in the future, just tell us directly. Don’t keep it from us, or else we’ll be worried!”

Naomi nodded and realized that she had been a little too impulsive this time.

“I’m sorry, Mom!”

It was not until they had calmed down that the door of the emergency room opened.

The doctor said with a smile, “Fortunately, the beam didn’t hurt his vital organs. However, it still caused a minor spinal injury and the wound will take a period of time to recover. You should pay more attention to his daily life and it would be better for him to take additional health supplements to make up for the nutrients he has lost!”

Naomi let out a sigh of relief and rushed over towards him in a hurry.

Nelson had not woken up yet. After Naomi sent him to the ward, she prepared to pick up some things for him.

Eudora held her down and said, “Your father has already asked people to prepare the necessities. We’ll hire a caretaker too. You should come back with us to have a rest!”

Naomi refused her offer and insisted, “No, I’m not tired, so I’ll stay here. As for you guys, you should go back and rest first!”

Eudora failed to persuade her into going back, thus she had to go back with only Amos.

As she left the hospital, she couldn’t help but sigh, “Our dearest Naomi has grown up! At first, I didn’t think that I’m already old. Now that I’m seeing her date someone, I’m starting to feel my age!”

Amos stayed quiet as he was still thinking about Nelson.

“Naomi won’t let me investigate him, so it’s not breaking the rules for me to talk to him more right? I’d like to see what kind of person he is to be able to steal my daughter’s heart!”

Eudora nodded and said, “I’d also like to find out!”

…

In the hospital.

After Eudora and the others left, Naomi simply cleaned up their belongings in the ward. The caretaker hired by her father had arrived as well.

Naomi was relieved. She found a chair and sat down beside the sickbed.

Nelson, who was lying on the hospital bed, had his eyes closed as she quietly stared at him. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that she had met him before.

All of a sudden, she heard him say, “Why are you looking at me so intensely?”

Naomi was startled to find out that his eyes had already opened.

“Is it because I’m good-looking?”

Naomi quickly turned her head away and changed the topic, “You’re awake? Do you need some water?”

He nodded and allowed Naomi to bring him some water. He stretched out his hand to take the glass of water over and said, “I’ll do it myself!”

Naomi continued to hold the glass and said, “You’d better stop moving. I’ll feed you!”

Nelson pursed his lips and refused, “That’s not a good idea! I’ll do it myself!”

“Why is it a bad idea? Haven’t you already confessed your feelings to me? Since I’ve agreed to your request, it’s a deal. It’s too late for you to go back on your words!”

Her frankness stunned Nelson, and he failed to garner a response.

After a long time, he smiled.

He asked, “So you’re saying that you’ve agreed to be my girlfriend?”

Naomi turned her head away and said, “If you don’t understand what I’m trying to convey, then forget it!”

Nelson stretched his hand out and grabbed hold of her, “I understand! I understand it really well!”

Naomi turned back, placed the glass of water near to his mouth. She even placed a straw inside to make it easier for him to drink the water.

“Have some water, my dear boyfriend!”
