One Night Stand With That Beggar

Outside of the ward, Eudora told Amos about the situation that had just occurred.

“Naomi has fallen head over heels for him. I don’t know how to persuade her. I think we should let her slowly calm down first!”

Amos furrowed his brow and said, “Okay!”

Soon after, he reached out to hold Eudora, “When you came out of the house just now, you were wearing very thin clothes. It’s raining and cold outside, so I’ll take you home!”

Eudora glanced in the direction of the ward and asked, “What about Naomi?”

“Let her cool off. I’m afraid we’ll end up in an awkward situation if we force her to leave now.”

Eudora nodded her agreement, “Alright then!”

In the evening, Amos called Clint again after Eudora fell asleep.

“Go and investigate secretly what happened in the car accident.”

Clint said, “You also think it was too coincidental, don’t you? However, it indeed happened by chance!”

“What do you mean?” Amos was suspicious.

“I’ve already investigated the matter after your call this afternoon, including the driver who collided with him. There was nothing amiss with him at all. The accident was an utmost coincidence!”

Amos thought the results were dubious, therefore he asked again, “Is it really a coincidence?”

“Perhaps, this time, it really is!”NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

…

In the hospital, after Naomi packed up everything, she asked the nurse to help her find a pen and a paper.

Then, she began to draw on that piece of paper.

When Nelson woke up, he saw that Naomi was almost done drawing,

He asked out of curiosity, “What are you drawing?”

Naomi turned around and smiled, “Shooting targets! When we were young, I told you that I would practise shooting in order to protect you. Do you still remember that? I’m good at shooting now. When you get better, I’ll use this to show you how skillful I am!”

Nelson couldn’t help but reminisce about the past upon hearing her words.

Back then, his mother had been taken away, and he had been detained with the Granger family. Everyone had reckoned that he was leading an enjoyable life in the Granger family. On the contrary, he had felt that being in the Granger family had brought him nothing but misery.

Harry’s family had merely been using him. They had let him and his mother enter the Granger family because they wanted to gain some benefits from them.

Later on, when the benefits were gone, they were naturally no longer nice to him.

Bethany had been rather nice to him, but in her heart, he was just a tool for venting her anger!

Whenever she was in a good mood, she would cuddle him and say that he was her dearest grandson.

Whenever she was in a bad mood, she would either beat or scold him. The situation worsened after Bethany found out that he was not her grandson.

Fortunately, in such a life, he still had Naomi!

At that time, she was still called Juju. Truth be told, she was neither as naïve as other children, nor as warm as sunshine, bringing warmth to people around her.

On the contrary, she had been an incredibly strong-willed little girl. It was probably because she had to protect Eudora ever since she was a child.

Upon seeing him getting bullied, Naomi would stand up for him. However, she would keep scolding him afterwards, reproving him for not protecting himself and crying.

As a result, he no longer dared to cry after being scolded by her.

In reality, he had been thinking of those words that she had uttered ever since they had parted with each other.

Nelson came back to his senses, wondering why he would become so soft-hearted as soon as he thought of his past.

He took a deep breath and suppressed all the thoughts in his heart.

After that, he replied, “Sure!”

Naomi stared at him for a while before answering, “You don’t look too happy.”

Nelson shook his head and denied, “No, I’m just tired. I want to rest!”

“Then, just take a rest! We’ll talk when you feel better.”

Nelson nodded and laid down again. He said, “You should go back too! There will be other people that’ll take care of me at night. You don’t have to stay here!”

Naomi wanted to say that she was capable of staying back.

However, Nelson had already closed his eyes. Naomi stood by his bed for a while before she turned around and left.

It was not until she left that Nelson sat up again.

He felt a little annoyed for some reason. He took a glass of water and drank it. When he was about to put down the glass, the door was pushed open from outside.

Nelson called out in relief, “Juju?”

The person who had entered was stunned for a moment before whispering, “Mr. Luther, it’s me.”

Richard stood at the doorway, motionless. He asked, “So, should I come in, or go out?”

Nelson regained his composure and said calmly, “Come in!”

Only then did Richard come in with some things in his hands. He complained, “I’ve been waiting outside for a few hours. If Miss George hadn’t left, I would have gone back myself already! Luckily, she’s finally gone! It looks like you two are making good progress in your relationship?”

Nelson frowned and said, “Don’t be such a busybody! What do you need me for?”

Richard shook his head and said, “Of course, it’s about something important. You didn’t inform me beforehand about your arrangement for today’s act. I thought you really were going to die. You scared the wits out of me!”

Nelson replied coolly, “I didn’t know that this would happen either.”

“What?” Richard looked at him disbelievingly.

Nelson leaned against the pillow and explained, “I saw a car going out of control at the last minute. All I did was tell the driver not to dodge it!”

Richard was filled with panic and cried, “You’re crazy! Do you know that you could’ve almost lost your life?”

“So what? It’s not like I’ve never been on the edge of death before. People who have been so close to death will be more direct when doing things. It’s either victory or death for us! If I don’t have this kind of determination, how could I compete with someone like Amos?”

“If I’m not mistaken, he must have sent someone to investigate me immediately after the accident! If it was deliberately arranged by us, then we would be more miserable now!”

Richard had nothing to refute, thus he said, “Maybe you’re right. This also proves that you’re leading a charmed life!”

“Thank you!” Nelson replied.

“What are you going to do in the future? You’ve already revealed your identity, so what’s next?”

“What’s wrong with that? Now, I have an even bigger chance to get close to the Granger family! If I knew that that stupid woman still had feelings for me, I should have used this trick a long time ago!”

Richard raised his eyebrows and asked, “Feelings? To be honest, I’m quite interested to know what will happen between you two lovebirds.”

Nelson rolled his eyes at him and said, “Maybe it’s not love, but just some kind of remorse. That’s enough for me! though As long as we can get close to the Granger family, we can leave here and go abroad to start a new life after I take revenge on them.”

Richard nodded and said, “Okay, let’s hope that we’ll succeed as soon as possible! However, we should work on the premise that you must be on my side throughout the plan. You’ve been acting too capriciously recently, and I almost can’t catch up to you! I hope that you can inform me in advance if there are any changes in our plans next time.”

“Don’t always tell me to play it by the ear. Even if I’m a genius, I might still make a mistake!, alright?”

Nelson shrugged and came to terms with Richard’s conditions, “Fine, I’ll think about it!”

After that, the two of them looked at each other and laughed. Richard turned around and said, “I’m leaving. Shall I send you breakfast tomorrow? What would you like to eat?”

Nelson stayed silent

Then, Richard spoke again, “Oh, I’ve almost forgotten that you have a girlfriend to prepare breakfast for you now!”

“Get lost!”
