Chapter 945: Chapter 945 Hypocrite

Nelson had a meeting in the afternoon. As soon as he came out, he noticed that it was raining outside.

Richard held the umbrella for him and whispered to him.

He told Nelson in a low voice, “You can get in the car first. I’ll take care of the rest…”

However, before his voice could die away, he noticed that Nelson’s eyes were fixed in a certain direction.

Richard followed his line of sight.

He asked curiously, “Isn’t that Miss George? Is she sick?”

When Nelson stayed quiet, Richard said, “Sir, you’re really shrewd and smart enough to anticipate that we’ll run into Miss George here today!”

In the next second, Nelson snatched the umbrella away from his hand.

“Do you think that I’m some kind of god who knows everything?”

Richard choked for a moment, and then he watched as Nelson ran towards Naomi.

Richard was confused. Hadn’t they agreed that Naomi was only a pawn for them? If so, why was Nelson running towards her so quickly?

The chauffeur was behind Richard.

He asked, “Richard, what should…”

Richard said, “Are you daft? Hurry up and drive the car to Mr. Nelson’s side!”

“Oh!” The chauffeur hurriedly nodded and acted accordingly.

At the moment, Naomi had fainted and her clothes had been soaked by the rain. The chauffeur drove the car to their side and got out of it.

“Sir, let me carry…”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands to carry Naomi. However, he held back when Nelson cast a cold gaze at him.

Richard inwardly chuckled and instructed the chauffeur, “Open the door!”

“Yes!” The chauffeur hastily opened the door of the car.

After Nelson placed Naomi in a comfortable position in the car, Richard went to sit in the front passenger seat.

“You’re going to the hospital, aren’t you? If so, then you can drop me off at the company when you pass by it later…”

Before he could finish his sentence, a file was thrown to him from the back seat.

“That’s out of my way. Go back by yourself!”

Richard was rendered speechless.

After getting out of the car with a sullen expression, Richard looked at the car that was driving away, baffled.

What the hell was Nelson trying to do?

…..

After Richard got out of the car, the chauffeur felt the heavy atmosphere worsen in the car.

He wanted to say something, but he didn’t dare to do so. As they were near an intersection, he still had no idea whether he should make a turn or not.

Therefore, he had no choice but to ask weakly, “Mr. Luther, where are we going?”

Nelson took a look at Naomi, and then at the chauffeur. Finally, he said in a low voice, “To the hotel!”

“Okay!” the chauffeur let out a sigh of relief.

After they arrived at the hotel, Nelson immediately went upstairs with Naomi in his arms.

Before leaving, he gave the chauffeur another order, “Call the doctor.”

In the room, the doctor soon arrived.

After giving Naomi a simple examination, the doctor prescribed some medicine and said, “The patient is just suffering from a fever due to fatigue and cold. For the time being, she doesn’t need an IV drip. Instead, external cooling methods will be enough, and she must remember to take her medicine. Contact me if you have any problems.”

After the doctor left, Nelson looked at the medicine left by the doctor. Then, he asked for some plain water from the hotel staff.

He dissolved the medicine tablets in a glass of water and walked over to the bedside.

“It’s time to have your medicine!”

Naomi was in a daze and most probably had successfully been woken up by him. However, she failed to become alert at all and she was totally oblivious of her surroundings.

Nelson was a little despondent. He loosened his tie around his neck before he bent down He called out to her, “Naomi, it’s time to eat your medicine!”

Her reaction remained the same.

Nelson closed his eyes and said, “Whatever!” After that, he placed the medicine on the bedside table.

Did she really think that he was in love with her? If it weren’t for the fact that he wanted to seek revenge, he wouldn’t have paid her any attention.

He was about to leave, but he then heard Naomi mumble, “My head hurts…”

Nelson tried to calm himself down and reminded himself, “Forget it, I’m taking advantage of her anyway. It’s now a good opportunity to get close to her!”

Nelson walked over to hold her up. Then, he fed her the medicine bit by bit.

Nelson had no idea if it was the effect of the medicine, but he then noticed Naomi, who had previously been unconscious, suddenly opened her eyes as he was about to leave after feeding her the medicine.

She smiled at him, innocence in her eyes. He remembered that smile. The recollections of the times when she had stood up for him when he was bullied at school came to his mind.

She had really been tough at that time, pulling him behind her and calmly glaring at the naughty kids in front of them.

“Don’t bully him, or I’ll tell the teacher!”

After those children left, she had smiled at him just like she currently was.

Then, she had told him, “Boys need to be brave! Don’t be afraid! If they bully you next time, come and look for me. I’ll protect you!”

Nelson let out a deep breath and shook off those strange memories. He lowered his head and looked at Naomi with a complacent smile.

“Are you awake? I saw you faint on the street, so…”

Before he could finish her words, Naomi had already closed her eyes.

Nelson was speechless.

It turned out that she had not been awake just now but just delirious due to the fever.

She began to mutter again, “It’s cold…”

Only then did Nelson realize that Naomi’s clothes were still wet. He wanted to call the staff again, but she called out a name all of a sudden, “Vincent.”

Nelson was astounded for a while before he curled his lips in disdain.

She called out, “Vincent, I’ll protect you!”

“I’m sorry, Vincent.”

“Vincent…”

Nelson clenched his fist and turned to glare at her, almost flying off the handle.

He thought inwardly, “You’re a hypocrite!”

“The Granger family are all hypocrites!”

Fortunately, he still managed to keep his head levelled, keeping his thoughts in.

Taking in a deep breath, he came back and unbuttoned Naomi’s clothes, then scattered them all over the floor.

…

The next day, Naomi felt much better when she woke up. As soon as she moved, she noticed that there seemed to be a warm body next to her.

Her heart skipped a beat as she opened her eyes to look at the person.

The next moment, she saw a familiar, handsome face.

She tried to clamber out of the bed in a rush. However, she heard Nelson speaking before she could get off the bed.

However, before she could get off the bed, she heard Nelson say, “You’re awake?”

Naomi froze as she stuttered, “I… you… we…”

Nelson frowned and explained, “You were sick last night, so I brought you back with me. Later, after you took the medicine, you said that you were cold and refused to let me go. So…”

“Then, our clothes…”

“They were all wet, but I’ve already asked someone to bring us new clothes! Don’t worry!”

Naomi looked down at the nightgown she was wearing, one that had been provided by the hotel.

Truth be told, she still wanted to ask who had changed her clothes. However, at this point, it seemed that her question was meaningless, hence she gave up.

After cooling off, she went to the bathroom to wash up.

When she came out of the bathroom after washing up, Richard happened to enter the room with a change of clothes.

After changing, Naomi turned around and looked at Nelson who was sitting on the sofa with his long legs stretched out before him.

In the end, she couldn’t hold it in anymore.

Thus, she asked softly, “Why did you save me?”

Truthfully, she wished that he would tell her it was because he liked her. Perhaps him doing so would give her a reason to strive for their love bravely.

To her disappointment, Nelson simply shook his head and said, “It’s no big deal. We’re still friends, aren’t we?”
