Chapter 251
Brendan chuckled..
essed his lips onto Naomi's forehead and allowed her to go to sleep.
Naomi was late to the law firm the next morning, which was a rare occurrence.
Sitting at her desk, she couldn't help but ponder on how sex was such a major distraction.
However, Brendan was indeed a capable man. He'd only known to use brute force the first few times due to his unfamiliarity.
Toward the end, he'd made her feel extremely good. It looked like he had been doing his research.
Naomi had to admit that their bodies were highly compatible, despite any conflicts they might've had. It was rare for men and women to be so in sync. Every glance and touch was passionate and electrifying.
Perhaps this was the only plus point God had gifted their marriage. At least it gave them the chance to sleep together.
"Naomi, write a closing report summarising your experience in the last case and share it with everyone."
"Alright," Naomi agreed. "Mr. Symth, can I submit it tomorrow? Jessica's case opens in court soon, and I need to drop by the hospital in the afternoon."
"As long as you produce the report before Monday, it's fine."
"No problem."
After she replied to Michael, Naomi continued working. In the afternoon, she ate some takeout and drove to the hospital.
When Naomi arrived at the ward, Melanie was already there. Her eyes were rimmed red. It was evident that she'd been crying.
"Naomi." Upon seeing Naomi, Melanie greeted her hurriedly and poured her a glass of water.
Naomi accepted the glass Melanie handed to her. She glanced at Jessica on the bed and asked, "She still hasn't woken up yet?"
Melanie shook her head and responded weakly, "Not yet."
She continued, "She's still so young, She doesn't even have children yet." When she said that, she wiped away her tears.
Naomi patted her back in consolation. She said, "She'll wake up. Everything will be fine."
Melanie calmed herself down. She turned to ask Naomi, "Naomi, we will successfully convict my Ivan, right?"
Melanie's exhausted eyes brimmed with hope: Naomi took a deep breath and held it.
Melanie had told her before that Jessica had kept surveillance cameras in the house.
Last week, she'd wanted to survey Jessica's house to gather some evidence. In the end, Ivan hadn't let her in. He'd even called security to chase her out.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
She'd tried to pick up some information from the neighbors, but they all insisted they had no idea what had happened.
The neighbors' reactions were clearly highly unusual, as though they were scared of getting into trouble. However, if they weren't willing to provide any leads or stand as witnesses, Naomi could do nothing.
Naomi looked at Melanie for a while.
Then, she said seriously, "If he'd "If he'd done it, then it is certain that we will win the case. He won't be able to escape the clutches of the law."
Melanie nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah! The law won't let the bad guys slip through their cracks. I believe you, Naomi."
Melanie was entirely confident in her old friend. She knew that Naomi would do her best to help them.
As Melanie spoke, she turned to look at her unconscious sister. Her eyes filled with tears again.
She said, "Since Jessica got into the accident, I can count the number of times Ivan visited her with his family on one hand.
"My mom has also fallen sick at home. She keeps regretting agreeing to their marriage in the first place."
She grasped Naomi's hands and continued, "Naomi, as a woman, have to be careful when choosing a man to marry. Everything else is secondary. His personality has to be your primary consideration.
"It would be better to spend the rest of your life alone rather than marry a bad man. At least you'd be safe."
A few days ago, she had asked the doctor to carry out a full-body m check-up for Jessica. She'd found out that Jessica had multiple old scars. She'd even broken a rib once.
She didn't dare tell her parents about these findings in detail. She was terrified they wouldn't be able to bear it.
Because of this, she was almost 100% sure that Jessica had been a victim of domestic violence.
