Chapter 48
Sean’s family background was on par with Charles‘, as well as the Lawson family. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
However, unlike the Lawsons, Sean was not compelled to seek a match of equal social standing. They did not approve of Amelia, who had a stubborn personality, Consequently, although they had feelings for each other, they never progressed to that final step.
“No, we’re talking about your matter now, not mine. Don’t try to change the subject,” Amelia retorted. “I’m telling you, I’ve booked a flight and will arrive in Horizon City early tomorrow morning. I don’t care! This time, I’m here to help Charles. That’s settled, then. See you tomorrow!”
Click! The call ended, and the screen went black.
Naomi sighed defeatedly, but there was no denying the twinkle of amusement she felt. Amelia was not overly concerned about her own affairs, yet she always cared deeply about Naomi’s.
Unconsciously, Naomi remembered a sentence Amelia once said. ‘Both of us deserve to be happy. If that’s not possible, it’s okay if you find happiness for me.‘
At that time, Amelia decided to break up with Sean. She had drunk a lot and shed many tears. Recalling those past events, Naomi’s heart twinged slightly. She wished happiness for Amelia, but she felt powerless.
Looking at the sky outside, Naomi’s brow furrowed lightly.
Charles, is that really what y
mean?‘
Early the next morning, Charles and Dean arrived together. They needed to process the transfer paperwork and obtain the family’s signature. Before eight o’clock, all the necessary documents were
delivered.
Dean and Donna did not need to go through the hassle. Someone brought the paperwork to them, and they just had to sign.
The hospital Naomi was transferring to was the well–established hospital in Horizon City. It was the hospital Charles arranged yesterday; the only difference was the attending physician.
Charles was in contact with an expert in burn injuries. For Scott, Jasper would oversee his conditions. Charles stood next to Dean, watching him sign and examining some details on the documents. He did not know the person in question, but the decisive and efficient manner of handling things made him truly feel the person’s dominance for the first time.
Everything was arranged flawlessly with no room for him to intervene.
“Is this satisfactory?”
“Yes.”

“We’ve already prepared the car. The family and the patient can go together.”
Donna looked at Charles, then quickly said, “No need. We’ll go on our own.”
Dean added, “Yes. Since the formalities are all set, we can go to the hospital with the documents. You
don’t need to bother.”
The person in charge looked at the elderly couple, politely smiling. “That’s true. If you go with us, you’ll have to run around with the documents, delaying Ms. Naomi’s treatment.”
“We can take you there directly, and the attending physician can see Ms. Naomi right away, saving a lot of time.”
Charles said, “Dean, Donna, just take their car. I’ll follow in my own car.”
What else could Donna and Dean say since Charles had spoken?
The elderly couple nodded. “Alright.”
Everyone packed up and left. At that moment, Charles‘ phone rang.
“I need to take this call,” he said.
Donna replied, “Go ahead.”
Charles nodded and left the ward while Donna and Dean continued packing.
Naomi also wanted to help, but she could not do so with her injured hands.
The person in charge checked the time and said, “Someone will pack up and send things to you. Let’s go downstairs first.“.
Donna and Dean were stunned. Everything was already arranged?

Naomi muttered, “Then, what about us…
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door.
“Did I go to the wrong place?”
