Naomi cursed herself silently in her heart for being soft-hearted.


    Then, she turned her head away,“That’s enough!”


    Nelsontook a towel and wrapped her feet in his arms. After he carefully wiped them dry, he said.


    After he carefully wiped them dry, he said,“I’ve helped you to take your pajamas. You can change into them.”


    When Nelson came out, Naomi had already curled up in the corner of the bed and fallen asleep! Nelson slowly stretched out his hand, wanting to hug her.


    However, in the end, he gave up on the notion.


    He turned over and stared at the ceiling with his eyes wide open.


    His mind was in a mess!


    He had no idea what he was doing! He only knew that he was ying with fire, and that it was the kind of fire that would burn him to ashes if he was not careful.


    However, he clearly knew that things would end miserably. The best way for him was to draw a clear line between Naomi and himself as soon as possible.


    However, seeing her putting a strong front despite obviously feeling sad, made him reluctant to do so! She had obviously been trembling, but she had still stood up straight to maintain her self-esteem.


    He was sick!


    He had contracted an incurable disease!


    …


    The next day, when Naomi got up,Nelsonhad already finished preparing breakfast.


    Spotting Naomiing downstairs, he smiled and said, “Your legs are in bad shape now, so don’t go to work for the time being! I will ask your colleague to apply for leaves on your behalf when I pass by yourpanyter…”


    Naomi interjected, “There’s no need for that. I have a very important meeting today.”


    Her tone was light.


    Nelsonfrowned. He knew her stubbornness, therefore hepromised.


    “Then, I’ll give you a ride!”


    “There’s no need for that either. I’ve booked a car online!”


    After that, she limped out of the house. Nelson let out a sigh as he watched her back.


    In the car, Naomi sat down and forced herself to take out the files in her hand.


    She had a meeting that morning. The previous night, due to Nelson’s sudden return, she had failed topreparemany things.


    After she looked at the files for a while, she looked up, and felt that something was amiss.


    “This isn’t the way to mypany, is it?”


    Naomi looked at theunfamiliarscenery outside the window and had no idea where she was going. She was in apletely unfamiliar and remote ce.


    The driver in front ignored her and continued to drive forward.


    Naomi became nervous, but she tried her best to remain calm. She said to the driver, “This is not the correct route! It’s my fault for not telling you about the location clearly. If you follow this route back, I’ll pay you a greater amount. Also, I’ll pay you extra for the trouble…”


    At that time, she felt that she could not get too nervous. Being overly anxious could easily motivate the other party tomit sinful stuff. What if he had not nned to do something bad but identally had only taken the wrong route?


    The driver heard her words, and he turned his face to nce at her.


    “You’re rich?”


    His voice was a little gloomy. Due to the fact that Naomi had not looked at the driver when she got into the car,she just realized that the driver in front of her was not the same person as the one listed in the online application!


    That was to say, she had really encountered a bad guy this time around!


    Naomi took a deep breath, genuinely feeling a little nervous.


    “What do you mean by that? We’re all normal office workers,so how much money could we possibly make? Everyone is having a hard time earning money, right? I also know that your job isn’t easy, therefore we understand each other. It’s also hard for us to work, otherwise I wouldn’t have to go to work despite my feet being injured!”


    Upon hearing about her injury, the driver nced at her leg.


    Naomi deliberately looked for amon point of interest with the driver, for she might resonate with him and arouse hispassion.


    However, it turned out that Naomi was wrong.


    It seemed that the driver failed to have anypassion for her as he had already parked his car.


    It turned out that he had already prepared ropes, knives, and other things in his driver’s seat. He had been nning this scheme of his for a long time!


    Naomi subconsciously clenched the bag in her hand and secretly took out her phone.


    However, she found that her mobile phone had been turned off. The previous night, due to being angry withNelson, she had forgotten to chargeher mobile phone!


    Naomi took a deep breath, and thought about ways to save herself.


    If the current predicament happened in the past, the driver might not even be qualified to be her opponent. However, it was different now as her feet were injured. Even if she managed to escape, she could not run far!


    Moreover, she was in a deserted area, a dangerous ce!


    As she thought about it, the car door was opened by someone from the outside. The driver stood in front of Naomi with a cold face.


    “Get out of the car!”


    Instead of acting rashly, Naomi got out of the car obediently.


    “Sir, I don’t think that you’re a bad guy at all. Do you want money? I have some money here! I’ll give them all to you!”


    After that, Naomi poured out all of the money in her purse!


    “Here you are!”


    However, she did not carry much cash in her bag, therefore the driver was not too happy. He asked, “Are you kidding me? You dress so well and live in such a high-end ce. With so little money, do you think you can get rid of me just like that?”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    “I only have this much cash with me! Nowadays, everyone does online transactions, therefore I don’t carry much cash with me…”


    “Where’s your phone? Transfer your money to me!” the man ordered.


    Naomi shook her head and replied, “My phone is dead!”


    “You’re lying to me!”


    “I really am not. You can see for yourself!” With that, she limped forward with her eyes trained on the man’s leg.


    Just as the driver reached out to take her phone, Naomi grabbed his wrist and threw him over her shoulder with a backhand!


    The man was stunned by the fall, and Naomi kicked him again.


    Unfortunately, her kick was not strong enough because of the injury on her feet, so the man was able to dodge her kicks!


    Then, the man turned over, grabbed a dagger from his back, and held it as he rushed towards her.


    Naomi was anxious as it seemed thatshe would not be able to avoid his attack!


    At that critical moment, arge hand pulled her from behind. Then, Naomi saw Nelson standing in front of her with his eyes wide open.


    “Nelson!” Naomi screamed.


    The policemen behind him gathered around and arrested the man.


    “Nelson! Hurry up and call an ambnce!”


    Naomi huggedNelsonand asked, “Why are you here?”


    Nelsonsaid in a low voice, “Thank the heavens I followed you. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. I was scared to death just now. I called your mobile phone many times, but no one answered…”


    Blood spurted out from Nelson’s chest, and Naomi’s eyes started tearing up.


    “Stop talking. I’ll take you to the hospital.”


    “No, I want to say something. Naomi, that entire incident was all my fault. Could you please forgive me?”


    “Okay!” Naomi nodded and agreed.“I forgive you. I won’t argue with you anymore. Don’t say anything else. I’ll take you to the hospital right now!”


    “Really?”Nelsonasked.


    “Of course! How could I lie to you?”


    “Then, I’m fine!”Nelsongot up with a smile.However, Naomi pushed him away while saying, “You lied to me!”


    “Ouch!”Nelsoncovered his chest. “It really hurts!”


    Naomi snorted. However, in the next second, she saw blood all over her hand, and she became anxious again.
