Boomerang Love



Naomi looked up. When she saw the familiar outline of a certain someone, she smiled and asked, "Why have you come over?"

She continued with a smirk, "If you're here to catch me cheating, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."

Brendan pinched her cheeks and teased, "Aren't you going to invite me to look for him?"

He'd asked her this because he'd recalled the time she had hidden Ronald in her room. She'd helped him look for a supposed "adulterer".

Naomi replied, "In your dreams."

She hadn't expected Brendan to come up to look for her.

When she took the lift down with Brendan, she checked her phone to find he had called her multiple times. She hadn't heard her phone ring. Whenever she was working, her ears ceased to exist.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

When Brendan took Naomi to eat at the restaurant they used to visit frequently, they both reflected on themselves.

They hadn't eaten outside for a long while, just the two of them.

When the waiter served their dishes, nausea bubbled in Naomi's stomach when she smelled the fishy odor emanating from fish. Mind you, she usually enjoyed fish.

She drank water in an attempt to suppress the nausea. However, it only seemed to worsen.

The problem was that she wanted to vomit but couldn't do so.

Opposite her, Brendan saw that her expression was off and her right hand was clutching her chest. He asked, "You're feeling ill?"

Naomi glanced up at him and sipped at her juice. She replied, "It might be gastroenteritis."

They'd eaten something outside in the afternoon. Perhaps the food had been unclean.

Upon seeing her condition, Brendan got her a bowl of soup. After swallowing a few gulps of mushroom soup, the nausea she had been feeling gradually dissipated.

However, when she tried to spear a piece of fish with her fork, the nausea surged again. She felt so disgusted that she hastily spit the fish she had put into her mouth.

In the end, this meal made her extremely uncomfortable. Thus, on the way home, she became limp and placid.

She turned to look at Brendan and mocked, "Brendan, my physical reaction to you is rather severe."

Whenever she saw him, she wanted to vomit. Brendan glared at her.

Naomi was tickled by his displeasure. She asked, "You're not happy?"

Brendan pinched her chin with his right hand and said, "Nothing good ever comes out of your mouth."

He continued, "Tomorrow, you should get a detailed check-up at the hospital. Don't contract these problems early on in life."

Right!

Without Brendan's reminder, Naomi would have nearly forgotten that she was still a young woman. She wasn't even 24 years old yet.

After experiencing her marriage with Brendan and the serious nature of her work, she felt as though she was nearly 40 years old.

After a while, when they got home, Nausea felt the nausea rear its head, feeling even more strongly than it did when she'd been eating.

She had just stepped into the house when she clapped a hand on her mouth and dashed to the bathroom.
