Chapter 972: Chapter 972 Cultivate Feelings

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, “I’ll 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.

It had destroyed the beauty of her perfect hands!

Nelson frowned and reached out his hand to pick up her finger.

Due to his touch, Naomi suddenly woke up.

She rubbed her eyes and looked at Nelson as she said drowsily, “You’re awake? Do you feel better?”

Nelson remained silent as his eyes were fixed on Naomi’s finger.

He asked, “What happened to your hand? Who hurt you?”

Naomi was stunned. It was a little amusing to see the anger on Nelson’s face. However, he was not in good condition now, therefore she did not want him to feel guilty.

So, she ignored his question casually, “It’s fine. I just accidentally hurt myself! Are you hungry? Richard must have made breakfast. I’ll get some for you!”

“No, it’s fine. You’ve been busy all night and you must be tired. Go and have a rest! Just let Richard take care of me.”

Naomi nodded and left.

As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Richard entering the room. Richard greeted Naomi with great respect, “Miss George, good morning!”

Naomi nodded and greeted him back, “Good morning.”

Upon hearing Richard’s voice, Nelson looked at Richard with curiosity.

It was only after Naomi had left that Nelson began to speak.

“Your acting is getting better and better!”

Richard was stunned and he placed the oatmeal on the table.

“Mr. Luther, why do you think that I’m acting?”

The corner of Nelson’s mouth twitched and he said, “Don’t you hate her the most? You always say that I’ll delay our plan because of her. So, I thought you hated her very much, but I saw you being very respectful to her just now!”

Richard pursed his lips tightly. Truth be told, he really wanted to tell Nelson that before this incident, he had really hated Naomi. However, after everything, he had seen how she had sacrificed herself to save Nelson, and that she even had been afraid that Nelson would hurt himself and let him bite her fingers. As a result, he really respected her after that.

However, when those words were about to come out of his mouth, he chose to swallow them down.

Nelson had already started to hesitate in their plans. If they really were unable to pull off their scheme, the consequences would be disastrous.

He said with a laugh, “Mr. Luther, your eyes are so sharp! You’re able to see through me!”

Nelson turned his head away and stayed silent.

However, he still could not help but ask, “Who bit her hand yesterday? Did you see who did it?”

Richard was stunned and replied, “Maybe it was one of those people who captured you!”

“Have they been arrested now?”

“Miss George’s men caught them and sent them to the police station! I’ve already made arrangements. We will not be involved…”

“We’ll be going too easy on them!” Nelson frowned. “Think of a way to get someone to cut off one of that person’s hands in jail!”

Richard was stunned and replied, “Mr. Luther, I’ll ask you this again. Do you really not have any personal agendas?”

Nelson snapped out of his rage and paused for a moment.

Then, he continued, “Will you believe me if I say I don’t have any? After all, I’m in a relationship with Naomi now. Since I’m being nice to her, doesn’t that mean that I’m trying to obtain Amos’ consent? Don’t you believe me?”

Richard shook his head and said, “I do, I do! Alright, I’ll arrange for it!”

After that, he picked up the oatmeal and said, “Let me feed you!”

“No, thanks. I can eat this by myself.”

Richard put down the oatmeal.

He reported to Nelson in a low voice, Concerning this matter, I might have spilled some of the beans in front of Miss George. Although she did not ask any questions, she might have some doubts in her heart. What do you think…”

“I will explain everything to her. You don’t have to worry about this. You can leave after this meal. I want to stay here for a while!”

Richard raised his eyebrows and said, “I think your condition has improved now, though.”

He had been placed in such terrible environments since childhood, so his body’s immune system was definitely good!

Nelson chuckled before saying, “What do you know about being in a relationship? Don’t you know about cultivating each other’s feelings for one another?”
