Chapter 1024
Naomi cursed herself silently in her heart for being soft-hearted.
Then, she turned her head away, "That''s enough!"
Nelson took 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, Nelson had 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 your
Naomi interjected, "There''s no need for that. I have a very important meeting today."
Her tone was light.
Nelson frowned. 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 to
prepare many 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 the unfamiliar scenery 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
with Nelson, she had forgotten to charge her 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?"
"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 that she 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 hugged Nelson and asked, "Why are you here?"
Nelson said 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?" Nelson asked.
"Of course! How could I lie to you?"
"Then, I''m fine!" Nelson got up with a smile. However, Naomi pushed him away while saying, "You lied
to me!"
"Ouch!" Nelson covered his chest. "It really hurts!"
Naomi snorted. However, in the next second, she saw blood all over her hand, and she became
anxious again.
