Chapter 368Jack grabbed Naomi's shoulder and forced her to stare at him. "Our fate is only in our hands. Do you understand?" โShe originally wanted to listen to some auspicious words, but now the hunchbacked manโs words make her worried!โ Seeing Naomiโs scared face, he shook her shoulder and raised his voice. "Kid! Did you hear me?" "Ah... I heard that." Only then did Naomi come to her senses and respond slowly. "Mister Daddy, I'm a little tired. Let's go back." "Okay." Jack reached out and pulled her up. Then they walked away together. As soon as Naomi lifted her legs, she froze like a statue, feeling cold all over her body. "What's the matter?" Jack followed her gaze and saw the wishing fountain. Then he narrowed his eyes instantly, and his face turned gloomy and dark. A piece of ground next to the wishing fountain was wet and in the middle of it was a coin, which was different from the other coins in the fountain because it was from a small country. They just threw this
Chapter 369Queenie swallowed hard, and before the phone rang for the second time, she answered with a slight trembling.โMiss Miles, you made me suffer a great loss this time.โA chuckle sounded on the other end of the phone. Although the manโs voice was gentle, it sent a chill down her spine. It seemed that tens of thousands of sharp knives hid in his laughter!โI didnโt expect Naomiโs master to take such action! But don't worry, for I will kill Naomi to avenge you!โโNo, no, no.โThe man hurriedly stopped her, and then he said in a teasing tone.โItโs a pity to let her die like this. Iโve realized that Jack prefers her to you now. I canโt wait to meet this amazing girl!โโYou...โQueenieโs eyes turned red with anger. She couldnโt believe that even this man began to appreciate Naomi.โMiss Miles, you donโt have to be nervous. We are partners, and you are still valuable to me. But I wonโt allow such an incident to happen again!โWhen it came to the last sentence, the manโs
Chapter 370โMiss, I found the man who dug your motherโs grave in the cemetery last time!โNaomi raised her eyebrows and immediately asked, โWho is it?โโUh ...โโUncle Zach, donโt be mealy-mouthed about it. Please tell me quickly!โโWho dared to dig my motherโs grave? I canโt wait to give that person a good beating and bury him under the ground!โ she thought.But at the other end of the phone, Uncle Zachโs tone became very hesitant.โWe got the surveillance video, which clearly shows that only Shannonโs assistant, Evan, passed your mumโs grave at that time...โโEvan?โNaomi widened her eyes in disbelief, and she slumped down in her chair in a daze!โHow could this happen?โEvan was Shannonโs assistant, so he must have obeyed Shannonโs order!She always regarded Shannon as a good person!Why on earth had Shannon done this?Thinking of Shannonโs ignorance of her messages these days and the guilty look in his eyes that day, Naomi felt extremely uneasy. Had Shannon been lyin
Chapter 371โUncle Zach, if you donโt receive a message from me within half an hour, please call the police.โNaomi shut the door while secretly sending a message to Zhou Zach.There were so many mysteries about Shannon, so she had to guard against him.โUse this to wipe yourself clean.โNaomi handed Shannon a towel, went to the kitchen and poured him a cup of hot water.โThank you.โShannon took the towel and slowly dried his hair. Although he was in a mess, he still remained graceful.People could tell at first glance that he was a well-bred gentleman cultivated by a good family.Naomi narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Shannon in confusion.โWhy did such a man dig my motherโs grave?โ she thought.โSince you really have a good relationship with my mother, why did you dig my motherโs grave?"โBecause I donโt believe sheโs dead.โโWhat did you say?โNaomi was overwhelmed with astonishment. She straightened herself up and leaned closer to Shannon.โAs you can see, t
Chapter 372โYes.โโIf thatโs the case, why hasnโt Mum mentioned you to me or brought you to see me in these years?โNaomi couldnโt help coming up with a lot of questions.โThere are many complicated reasons.โShannonโs expression became grim again.โMomโs original name is Lucas.โShannon dipped his index finger in the water stain on the table and wrote the name โLucasโ.His handwriting was neat and beautiful, just like the impression he gave others.โThe Shaw family has been known for its superb medical skills, but only men are allowed to inherit them. In our motherโs generation, only she has the talent to study medicine and inherit the will of our ancestors. So Grandpa always declared to others that Mom was a boy. Mom could no longer tolerate such rigid family rules, so she changed her name and left the Shaw family.โโMom did a good job!โNaomi banged on the table with excitement and couldnโt help parsing her mother.Shannon took a deep look at her sister, and he couldnโt
Chapter 373โAbout the truth of that accident...โShannon suddenly took out his mobile phone, opened a photo and handed his phone to Naomi.The photo showed nine different patterns, which were put together.โWhen the plane crashed, you were with Mom. Did you see these logos at that time? Even if it is one of them, please tell me.โNaomi took the phone over and saw the familiar dragon pattern in the center of the photo at a glance.โThis dragon pattern...โ Naomi said with hesitation.โHave you seen it before?โShannon narrowed his eyes and immediately asked.โYes. But Iโm not sure if itโs my illusion or my memory.โNaomi narrowed her eyes and tried to recall the past, but she couldnโt get a clear picture in her mind.โIt doesnโt matter. You were still a child at that time, and itโs understandable that you canโt remember what happened.โShannon comforted her in a soft voice, and in his heart, Naomi was still a little girl forever.โI remember I fell to the ground, and there
Chapter 374Shannon carried a faint herbal scent, which was so different from Jake's. Shannon smelled like Naomi's mom when Naomi was a little girl.ใใNaomi's panic-stricken heart immediately settled down.ใใA few seconds later, the lightning was over.ใใ"Were you scared?"ใใShannon held Naomi's shoulders and surveyed her with an anxious look on his face.ใใ"Pfft!" Naomi burst out laughing.ใใ"What are you laughing at?" A confused look flashed across Shannon's handsome face. Then something occurred to him, and his face immediately changed color. He hurriedly reached out and touched Naomi's forehead.ใใ"Are you freaked out?"ใใ"No, I'm not!"ใThe cozy atmosphere between the two was immediately gone.ใใNaomi sighed in silence. She slapped Shannon's hand away.ใใIt seemed Shannon was not good at being a brother on his first day on this โjobโ.ใใ"I'm just happy. I didn't expect I'd have a family besides my mom and dad."ใใShannon was stunned at Naomi's words. After a few seco
Chapter 375Watching Shannon's poker face, Naomi couldn't help but sigh. She walked up to Shannon, reached out her hand, and pushed the corners of his mouth upward with her fingers.ใใ"Brother, you need to smile more from now on. You have such a charming smile. If you always have this poker face, the audience will laugh at you for being a lame actor." Naomi deliberately warned.ใใHowever, Shannon wasn't worried at all. "Are you forgetting that I won the Best Actor Award?"ใใThey had just confirmed that they were siblings, and she was doubting his acting skills?ใใ"Since you entered show business, you've always played cool and domineering roles. Don't you dare play an affectionate role?" Naomi spat out her tongue and argued.ใใShannon's handsome face immediately showed a hint of gloom.ใใHe couldn't smile easily at strangers.ใใ"Looks like having a sister isn't so great." Shannon concluded, as if his enthusiasm had cooled a bit.ใใNaomi immediately regretted it. She played cute
Chapter 473"Of course not!" Naomi shook her head and answered firmly.ใใ"I'm a doctor. Trust me. I will cure you!"ใใNaomi then reached out to smooth Jack's furrowed brows.ใใ"Don't think about those horrible things. It's all in the past."ใใ"All right," Jack said as he grabbed Naomi's soft hand and rubbed it in his palm.ใใThe anger and fear in Jack's heart faded at a glimpse of Naomi.ใใJack's face eased up. He went on peacefully, "Luckily, then I met a girl. She saved me."ใใ"I see." Naomi responded, jealousy in her heart.ใใโObviously, that girl was Queenie.ใใโSpeaking of Queenie, Mister Daddy becomes so tender.ใใโAll right! Queenie will always be your angel!'ใใNaomi got angry when she remembered what Queenie and Jack's mother had done to her at the wedding.ใใโBut Mister Daddy trusts Queenie so much, and Mrs. Hough is his mother. Whose side will Stinky Daddy be on if conflict breaks out among us in the future?'ใใNaomi hung her head down. She had little confidenc
Chapter 472ใใSean was speechless. He scratched his hair.ใใProfessor Gregory sighed. He stood up and turned to go.ใใ"Maybe there is going to be another storm."It was cold at night.Naomi sat on the steps by the fountain at the Base. She clutched her legs in her arms. Jack draped his jacket over her shoulders.ใใ"It's cold."ใใ"You're the patient. You need it more than I do."ใใNaomi wanted to take the jacket off, but Jack stopped her and took her into his arms.ใใ"I'm all healed up."ใใ"Really?" Naomi looked at him suspiciously.ใใThen Jack grabbed Naomi's hand and slipped it under his shirt.ใใTouching his hot skin, immediately, Naomi blushed.ใใ"What are you doing? We're in a public place..."ใใ"I'm just letting you check me out." Jack replied calmly, innocence in his eyes.ใใ"All right," Naomi felt extremely embarrassed. She felt ashamed of her thoughts.ใใJack raised his eyebrows. He sensed her embarrassment. He deliberately leaned in and teased, "You want to d
Chapter 471Jack's eyes showed a glint of embarrassment, which meant he admitted it.ใใ"Sean said you couldnโt sleep well. I remember you always had to hold something while you slept..."ใใHe wanted to say that Naomi had to hold him to sleep well, but he swallowed it.ใใNaomi's eyes twinkled. Immediately, she felt something pinch her heart hard.ใใ"Since you don't like it, give it back to me.โ Jack was about to take the doll away.ใใ"No! You gave it to me. How can you take it back?"ใใNaomi hid the doll behind her back.ใใJust as Naomi was grabbing the doll, suddenly Jack opened his arms and took both her and the doll tightly in his arms.ใใJack's unique and fresh scent immediately enveloped her.ใใFalling into the familiar embrace, Naomi instantly got emotional. Her eyes welled up with tears. She quietly leaned into his arms, enjoying the moment.ใใJack held her tighter as if he was afraid she would run away again.ใใHe wanted to take it slow, but he couldn't hold it anymo
Chapter 470ใใA worried look flashed across Jack's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He averted his eyes.ใใIt was silent.ใใNaomi's lips quivered. So many words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't get them out.ใใ"Uh... Are all your wounds healed?"ใใ"Yes." Jack replied indifferently. He sounded aloof.ใใNaomi looked up at him, but he didn't look at her.ใใNaomi didnโt know how much effort Jack had used to refrain from looking at her. But still, he sneaked a peek at her out of the corner of his eye.ใใNaomi nervously gripped the doll with her fingers. She was looking for anything to say to Jack.ใใโThe doll... Right! 'ใใNaomi immediately held up the doll and asked, "Did you give me this doll and the fruit that appeared on my windowsill these days?"ใใ"No." Jack bluntly answered.ใใJack remembered that Sean had told him earlier that anything Jack sent to Naomi, she would throw it away.ใใโBut Naomi can't sleep well if she doesn't have a doll to cudd
Chapter 469"Shooting the ninth ring will pass. My master shot the bullโs eye. Why didn't he pass?" Paulo questioned angrily.ใใRobin also sneered at Jack, "Mr. Hough, you're not finding fault with Naom, are you?"ใใSnap!ใใJack closed the folder abruptly, and everyone was shocked. The range fell silent!ใใJack looked Naomi steadily in the eye and replied calmly, "Your elbow is in the wrong place. You're shooting impulsively. And your breathing is not steady."ใใNaomi blushed and lowered her eyes in embarrassment.ใThen Jack's low voice rang out above her head.ใใ"If you want to join the National Security Bureau, you have to do your best!"ใใImmediately, Naomi's eyes flickered. She looked up at Jack.ใใโMister Daddy knows what Iโm up to?'ใใTheir eyes met, and the look in Jack's eyes reassured her.ใใ"You're not good enough."ใใ"You're not fair." Saif spoke up angrily for Naomi. "In my opinion, it's you..."ใใ"Saif!" Naomi stopped Saif. The anger was gone from her face, a
Chapter 468ใใ"I'm sorry."ใใ"It's okay. Your nerves are too tight these days. You should relax a bit."ใใRobin showed a worried look in his eyes. He handed Naomi a bottle.ใใ"I made the tea. It helps you calm down. Try it."ใใ"Have you had lunch, Master? Have a piece of cake!" Paulo handed Naomi a piece of cake, and Saif took out a handkerchief to wipe Naomi's sweat.ใใFor a moment, Naomi felt warmed by the concern of so many people.ใใ"Thank you all."ใใ"Itโs OK. We are a team!"ใใ"Yeah, we're a team!"ใใThe four then burst out laughing at the same time.ใใNot far away, Jack cast his eyes on Naomi. Seeing Naomi so close to the other three, he felt jealous. He got angry and clenched the pencil in his hand so hard that it broke into two!ใใ"The pencil broke?" Lily asked in surprise.ใJack's face didn't change color. He picked up another pencil."The quality of the pencil is too bad."The test began. Everyone on each team had to hit the ninth ring, or the teamโโs score wo
Chapter 467Snap--ใJust after Sean finished, the banana in Naomi's hand hit the ground. It rolled a few inches and stopped next to the trash can.ใใNaomi felt like she was drenched by a bucket of ice water. She immediately came to her senses.ใใNaomi was like a drowned rat, so frustrated and pathetic.ใใSean resisted the urge to tell her the truth and told Naomi to leave.ใใ"Miss Naomi, excuse me."ใใ"I'm sorry." Naomi turned in dismay. โShe walked aimlessly forward like a ghost.ใใโI should forget about him, but why does my heart hurt so much?'ใใ"Naom!" Saif ran towards Naomi from not far away and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Your face looks awful. Do you want to go to the doctor?"ใใ"No, I'm fine, really!" Naomi shook her head.ใใ"Should I take you back to the dormitory to rest a bit?โ There's still some time before the shooting test."ใใSaif reached out to help Naomi, but once again Naomi refused, "We should go straight to the range."ใใHalf of the trai
Chapter 466ใใ"If they end up breaking up, I'm screwed!"ใใ"Don't worry!" Professor Gregory patted Sean's shoulder.ใใ"It took me only a month to win your momโs heart. I know women. Trust me! You won't regret it!"ใใ"OK. I trust you!"ใใSean scratched his hair. Then he went to report to Jack with suspicion in his heart.ใใAs soon as Sean got into Jackโs room, he immediately put on a timid face.ใใ"Sir, Mrs. Hough didn't take anything you asked me to send to her. She said..."ใใ"What did she say?"ใใ"She said she hates you and that she never wanted to see you again!" Sean made it up deliberately. He was tense inside.ใใJack, who was lying in bed, showed a gloomy look in his deep eyes.ใใSean panicked and hurriedly asked, "Should I send her the stuff again?"ใใ"Yes. But you need to do it secretly." Jack replied without hesitation.ใใ"Don't let her know it's me."ใใ"Then what's the point of that?" Sean wondered.ใใ"I just want her to be happy."

Chapter 465โOkay.โNaomiโs tone was rather calm, as if it had nothing to do with her.In fact, she was totally stunned. But since things had become like this, there was nothing she could do to change the past. Sean widened his eyes and looked at Naomi in disbelief."That's your answer?"Naomi looked away, bypassed Sean and went away."I got to go."After saying that, she left like a ghost.Seanโs heart sank and he heavily sighed."Mrs. Hough doesn't want to be with Mr. Hough anymore. Itโs doomed!โ"Donโt talk nonsense!โProfessor Gregory just returned back to the operating room. He stared at Naomi's back and said with a meaningful smile, "The two of them will get back together!โ "How can that be?
