Chapter 1018: Chapter 1019 Nelson Has Disappeared

“Naomi!” Nelson shouted.

Naomi turned around and looked at his worried expression. She asked, “What’s wrong?”

Nelson felt relieved and met Monique’s gaze with a faint smile. He realized that he had overcomplicated the situation!

“It’s nothing! I just saw the puppy, and…”

“You think I got scared?” Naomi smiled. “I’m not afraid of it!”

“You two are so affectionate with each other. I’m so envious!” Monique suddenly interrupted.

Nelson frowned slightly as Naomi finally came to her senses and began to introduce him to Monique.

“This is our neighbor. Do you remember that time when I dropped my things on the sidewalk? It was she who picked them up for me. This is quite the fateful encounter!”

Nelson replied, “Indeed!”

“I’m Monique Chilton!” Monique took the initiative to reach her hand out towards Nelson.

Nelson stretched his hand out in return with great difficulty. As soon as he held hers, he felt something like a piece of paper stuffed into his palm.

He looked at Naomi subconsciously. Naomi’s eyes were all on that puppy!

“What a cute little fella!”

He took a deep breath and stuffed the note into his pocket.

“I’m going to open the door!” Nelson said.

When Nelson left, Monique saw the groceries in Nelson’s hands.

“You two cook on your own? It’s great to be able to cook, unlike me who lives alone. If no one cooked for me, I’d starve to death!”

Due to the fact that she was not too familiar with Naomi, yet she had suddenly brought up such an intimate topic, Naomi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. However, since Monique had helped her the last time, she gave her a casual reply.

“I’m not very good at it. It’s my husband who does most of the job!”

“Husband? Are you two preparing to get married?” Monique’s expression was slightly frozen.

Naomi was used to calling him so. As someone was suddenly pointing it out, she felt a little embarrassed.

“Ah… Actually…”

Just as Naomi was panicking, Nelson opened the door.

“Come in!”

At last, her embarrassment was relieved a little. Naomi waved her hand at Monique, turned around and entered the house.

Monique looked at her back for a long time before she clenched her fists.

…

Inside the house, after Naomi entered, she poured herself a big glass of water and breathed a sigh of relief.

“It turns out that it’s so difficult to deceive others!”

Nelson raised his eyebrows and asked, “Did you deceive anyone?”

“It isn’t really a lie! As I was talking to our neighbor just now, I accidentally referred to you as my husband! It was a little embarrassing to do so!”

Nelson’s heart tightened as he said, “It’s better if we don’t interact with Monique too much in the future!”

Although Naomi rarely disliked someone, this time, it was rare for her to feel that what Nelson said was right.

“I feel that she’s quite a strange one as well! It’s like she’s always looking for something!”

Naomi could not help but look at Nelson. She half-jokingly asked, “Is she in love with you?”

Nelson was stunned. His expression instantly became serious.

“Don’t be ridiculous!”

Naomi was taken aback and said, “I was only joking! Are you angry?”

Nelson shook his head, but his tone was still a little stiff.

“No, I’m not!”

“You’re not? You’re even frowning now! You don’t look handsome at all like this!”

When she said this, she reached out and touched the spot between his eyebrows. She coaxed, “Alright, I won’t talk nonsense next time!”

She spoke so carefully that Nelson felt a little guilty in his heart.

He hugged her from behind and shook his head, saying, “I’m not blaming you! I just don’t like such jokes.”

“Okay! I won’t say that ever again in the future! I will stay away from her as well, okay?”

After that, Naomi suddenly remembered something.

“Right, I want to make a cake!”

A few days ago, when she had stayed in the resort, she had seen a well-made cake. Therefore, she had picked up some techniques from the chef there. After she finished speaking, she went into the kitchen.

It was not until Naomi left that Nelson took out the note in his pocket and unfolded it.

There were only three words written on it, ‘See you tonight!’

After Nelson looked at the note for a while, he tore it up and threw it into the trash can.

At night, after Naomi fell asleep, Nelson got up and went out.

The house next to the villa was not too far away. At the back of the house, the two houses were separated by a marble fence.

Monique was on the terrace next door, and she held a red wine glass in her hand.

She sipped on it slowly and said with a smile.

With a smile, she greeted him, “You’re here!”

“Why are you looking for me?”

Monique was not angry, but instead pointed to something on the table, “Don’t you recognize this thing?”

Nelson was stunned and said, “That belongs to my mother!”

“You still recognize it! That’s good!”

“What did you do to her? Didn’t I tell you before that she has nothing to do with this?!”

Monique raised her eyebrows slightly and replied, “If I said that I didn’t do anything to her, would you believe me?”

Nelson was puzzled. Monique handed him another piece of paper.

It was a medical report, and it stated that the patient was going through the final stage of terminal cancer!

The name of the patient was his mother, Tiffany Leon.

“Cancer? How is this possible?”

“Yes!” Monique nodded. “An illness like this is not something that I can fabricate…”

Before her voice had died away, Nelson had already grabbed Monique by the shoulder.

“Where is she? Where is Mom?”

“She’s abroad. I’ve arranged the best hospital for her. Do you want to visit her? I will arrange for a private jet immediately…”

…

Naomi had a dream. In it, she was getting married to Nelson!

She wore a white wedding dress and walked on the red carpet while holding Nelson’s hand. It was as though they were walking toward their future together, step by step.

However, for some reason, the red carpet suddenly disappeared.

With it, the beautiful future in front of them had turned into a dark one.

She subconsciously reached out to grab Nelson’s hand, only to find that the man beside her was gone.

Naomi woke up from her sleep as she mumbled, “Nelson…”

The space next to her was empty as well! There was no one there!

She got out of the bed barefooted, and searched for Nelson. However, he was nowhere to be seen. It was as if Nelson had suddenly disappeared.

Naomi called Nelson’s phone, but his phone was turned off.

She was no longer in the mood to go to work anymore, therefore she went to Inchee Company. However, the company told her that Nelson had not gone to work.

Naomi was on the verge of losing her mind. Why did she suddenly have such a dream? Why had Nelson suddenly disappeared?

She even reported his disappearance to the police, but the police officers said that since Nelson had not disappeared for more than twenty-four hours, she was unable to file a missing person’s report.

Naomi could only sit there and send messages to Nelson over and over again.

At the same time, Nelson and Monique had already arrived abroad.

After they got off the plane, Nelson rushed to the hospital as fast as he could.

The hospital specialized in oncology. Therefore, the costs of treatment were high, and their patients were relatively few.

Nelson went through the empty corridor, and after he ran in, he saw a familiar figure walking slowly along the corridor, leaning against the wall.

It had only been a few months since they had last seen each other, but Tiffany seemed to have completely changed into another person! Her whole body was thin and skinny.
