Chapter 1045: Chapter 1045 Have You Gotten Any Results?

In the hospital.

Many people gathered outside of Emma’s ward. This was because she had woken up.

When Naomi arrived, most of her colleagues had finished paying her a visit. Therefore, they all simply said hello to Naomi and let her in.

Emma was sitting on the bed. The bandages on her head had been removed, but she still seemed absent-minded.

Meanwhile, Cynthia was holding her hand and asking her various questions about the accident.

“Do you still remember what happened to the supplier?”

Nelson was petrified when he heard that.

Naomi took two quick steps forward, but she was suddenly held back by Nelson’s outstretched hand.

She turned around and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

Nelson pursed his lips tightly. In truth, he didn’t want her to go over.

However, he couldn’t say it out loud.

“No, it’s nothing!”

Only then did Naomi turn around and walked over, asking, “Emma, how do you feel?”

Emma looked up at her and said, “Naomi, you’re here!”

Naomi nodded, “It’s great that you’re alright! We can talk about the rest later!”

Emma shook her head and explained, “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you now. I just… I can’t remember!”

Naomi was bewildered upon hearing that.

Cynthia was taken aback as well, “Why can’t you remember it? Don’t you know us? Who am I?”

“You are Madam Leon!”

“Yes, that’s true. This is Naomi! Don’t you know us all? Why are you saying that you can’t remember it?”

“I do know you guys, but I really can’t remember anything about the case you’re talking about. Whenever I try to recall it, I can feel this terrible pain in my head!”

With that, Emma started knocking at her head. Seeing this, Naomi quickly held her down.

“Just stop thinking about it for the time being. Your thoughts may still be jumbled up since you have just woken up. Rest up first!”

Nelson, who was standing behind Naomi, became relieved upon hearing that.

After going out, Naomi went to seek the doctor to ask about Emma’s condition. The doctor then informed her that Emma could have lost some of her memories due to the impact to her head.

As for what memories were lost, it was difficult to tell for sure!

Naomi frowned and asked, “Can she still remember it afterwards?”

The doctor shook his head as a reply, “Theoretically, it should be possible! However, I’m unable to guarantee that her memories will return for sure. It all still depends on the patient’s state of recovery.”

Naomi let out a sigh, “Alright then.”

On their way back, Nelson patted Naomi on the shoulder.

“Why are you so down in the dumps? Come on, cheer up!”

Naomi furrowed her brows and replied, “No, I’m just a little worried about Emma.”

Nelson asked curiously, “I thought you were sad because she couldn’t remember anything about the incident.”

“Of course I’m worried about that too. However, the company’s affairs are already in such a mess, so it’s no use crying over it. Emma is so affable, but she ended up injured because of my matters. I feel very sorry towards her. If I was there from the beginning, things would be different for her!”

Nelson felt complicated upon hearing Naomi’s dejected mutters.

This was the girl he liked. Although she wasn’t as pretty or as elegant as the other noble ladies, she had a kind soul.

He now understood why Leslie chose her as his heir.

She was ambitious, courageous, and most importantly, kind hearted.

Leslie must have believed that under Naomi’s leadership, she would be able to manage the affairs perfectly.

On the other hand, Nelson was also perturbed. She kept thinking about others without considering her own wellbeing.

After hearing what Naomi had to say, Nelson pursed his lips and said, “No, you shouldn’t be like this.”

“Eh?” Naomi was surprised.

“You shouldn’t always think about others. Try to think about yourself first! If you really get hurt, I will be saddened for sure!”

Naomi looked up at him and assured him, “Relax! I won’t get hurt. I can protect myself.”

“That won’t do either! Try your best to stay away from such dangerous matters in the future. If there’s anything you need to deal with, leave it to me!”

Naomi teased him, “Won’t I become a useless person then?”

She had always been with Leslie since she was a child. She was brought up equally, with no discrimination between boy or girl.

In many cases, she was expected to perform better than males!

Hence, she had never thought about relying on others.

Nelson was almost speechless and asked, “Why is that so?”

Naomi shook her head and said, “Why isn’t it so? If I needed someone else to do everything for me, then what else am I supposed to do? Nothing? Of course not!”

“It’s not just that. You can be my princess or my queen. You can go shopping, traveling, and many other things that you’d want to do!”

He regarded her as his princess and as his queen.

Those were some real sweet words.

Naomi was quite moved, but she still couldn’t help teasing him.

“Have you said something like this to others before? You seem pretty experienced.”

Nelson shook his head and denied it, “Of course not! I’ve only said it to you!”

Seeing that he was so nervous, Naomi burst into laughter.

“I’m not saying I don’t trust you, so why are you so nervous? Fine, I’ll listen to you. I’ll certainly look for you if I need your help in the future. You will be my prince and my king too!”

…

After sending Naomi home, Nelson headed home, only to see Richard waiting at the door.

Upon seeing that, he had a rough idea of what was going on.

As he was unlocking his front door with his fingerprints, he asked Richard.

“Why didn’t you call me before you came?”

Richard answered, “It’s okay. I expected you to be home around this hour, so I didn’t really wait for long.”

The two of them soon entered the house. Nelson loosened his tie and sat down on the sofa.

“Have you gotten any results?”

Nelson’s voice was shaking slightly upon asking this question.

The upcoming reveal had him on the edge of his seat.

He was afraid that Tiffany had lied to him. Even more so, he was afraid that Amos was truly the evil person he had heard of. If that was the case, his relationship with Naomi was most likely not to end well.

He was distressed at the thought of that.

Nelson blinked and looked at Richard, asking again, “You’ve gotten the results, haven’t you?”

Richard nodded, “Yes!”

However, he took a deep breath before continuing.

“Mr. Luther, please don’t be too sad.”

Nelson frowned. From the looks of it, no matter what answer he was given, he was bound to be disappointed.

“I’m fine!”

“According to my intel, the information that you were told may be false. In other words, you’re being used!”

Nelson was stunned. Some time later, he quickly followed up, “What do you mean?”

“Here are my findings. It shows that the relationship between your mother and your father was fake. All those years, your mother had her mind set on the Granger family’s money, so she tried hard to marry Amos’s eldest brother. However, she didn’t expect that the previous head of the Granger family to be an obstinate old man. No matter what, he didn’t agree to accept her as their daughter-in-law. Moreover, Amos’ brother was quite fainthearted and didn’t dare to fight against his father’s wishes.”

“For this reason, your mother had already planned to break up with him, and she eventually chose to be with your father…”

“My father?” It was the first time Nelson had heard about him.

“What kind of person is he?”

Richard answered hesitatingly, “He… He’s just a normal street thug…”
