Daddy’s Doting Addiction
Chapter 253
When Naomi left the ward, Uncle Zach was already waiting for her downstairs.
âMiss Green, after last night, the old clients Scott scared off have all returned. Weâve been signing
contracts since morning that made our arms sore!â
At the mention of Langdon being successful, Uncle Zach looked excited.
âUncle Zach, donât get too complacent. Our path-â âI know, I know! The skyâs the limit!â Uncle Zach smiled
and replied.
âHmm. Langdon will go national in the future!â
Naomi looked serious. It was a promise she made to her mother. Next, she had to fulfill another promise.
She had to take back her motherâs old mansion!
Naomi soon arrived at the Green Residence. âMiss Green, Iâve changed all the locks here-inside and
outside. The servants have all been changed too. We have arranged for new guards as well. Without
your permission, no one is allowed to enter!â Uncle Zach exclaimed while opening the car door. âGo have
a look at where else you need to renovate. Iâll get someone to do it immediately.â
âOkay.â
Naomi nodded and headed to an old tree in the middle of the courtyard. She reached out and gently
touched the rough bark of the tree. Lilian had changed everything her mother had left behind in the
courtyard, except the huge tree. It was worth a lot, so the greedy Lilian left it untouched.
âOncle Zach, bring me a shovel!â
âWhat? Miss Green, are you planning to dig the tree up?â
âPfft, no. Let me be alone for a while.â
Naomi smiled helplessly.
âOkay.â
Uncle Zach soon found her a shovel and waited for her outside. Naomi started digging up by the side of
the tree. Soon, the shovel hit something hard.
âAs expected. Itâs still here!â
Naomi was delighted. She quickly dug deep with her hands, and a tin box could be seen. She pried the
tin box open with her hands. There were three colored â paper cranes. Two larger ones and one smaller
one.
The paper cranes immediately brought her back to her rather happy childhood. That year, her father
deliberately gave the tree to her mother as her birthday present. The three of them even made a wish
under this tree. Then, they folded their wishes into a paper crane and buried it under the tree.
How time flew by and how things had changed. Naomi unfolded the smaller paper crane. It was her
childish handwriting
(Naomi would like to be with Dad and Mom, happy together forever.)
Under her writing was a house she drew with crayons, and they were in the house.
Drip!
Naomiâs tears fell on the paper, wetting a corner of it. Although she finally sought revenge, she was not
happy at all! If she could turn back time, she only hoped that her childhood wish could be fulfilled.
However, at that moment, she could only hide under the tree alone and secretly cry. âMom, I miss youâ¦â
Naomi sniffled. She unfolded her motherâs paper crane.
IS ON
[I am inspired to devote myself to medicine to pass on my traditional medicine skills. I wish that the world
will be free of disease and pain!]
Looking at her motherâs great wish, Naomi felt a surge of emotions overwhelming her. She had to
continue her motherâs legacy! In the end, she unfolded Scottâs paper crane. [1 pledge my life to the
country and wish for peace for the people!) Looking at the words, it did not sit well with Naomi.Was it
truly the wish made by Scott, who murdered his wife and abused his daughter?
