Chapter 156
Naomi instinctively pulled back, but Scott grabbed her by the calf and said in a low voice, "Hold me if it hurts."
His tone was not his usual emotionless tone. On the contrary, he sounded like he was warning her.
Naomi did not dare to move.
Scott used to be reasonable and easy to communicate with. He would never lose his temper or be angry at her. It could be said that they had pleasant communication for the past three years of their marriage.
He never spoke to her like this or behaved the way he did when they were married.
Upon closer thought, it was not only that night. It seemed that ever since the incident with Sasha, he had changed. He became ill-tempered and unreasonable. No one knew what he was thinking.
She did not know when it started, but she had to tread lightly around him, afraid that anything she said might offend him.
Naomi thought that it must be because they were divorced. She always thought that no matter what happened, he would always calmly solve the problem. No one or nothing could affect him. He was always on a straight, narrow path. He would never go astray. The Scott she met that night at the pub was a stark contrast to this.
He was only human. He had his desires and wishes. He was with emotions. He just did not care enough for her.
Naturally, there would not be any emotions in the past three years.
Coming to terms with that, Naomi was not disappointed. She felt a little sorry, even. If she knew that he had someone that he liked, she would not have married him. They had wasted three years of their lives. This should not have happened.
Scott was careful with his actions, but it still hurt her. Naomi no longer backed away. She held onto the couch and bore with the pain, though she sweated even more. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Scott carefully placed her high heels that he took off her aside before picking her up and walking out the door.
Naomi did not know what he was trying to do and subconsciously resisted. When she saw that he was taking her out the door, she knew he was taking her to the hospital.
She got hurt because he pulled her. A responsible person like him would take her to the hospital.
Naomi looked at his darkened expression as if because her injury had disrupted his work. She thought about how the moment he appeared that night, he looked off as if something had happened. Her getting hurt only worsened his mood.
Thus, Naomi thought for a while before saying, "Let the chauffeur take me to the hospital. Carry on with whatever you were doing."
To Scott, it sounded like she wanted to be as far away from him as possible. The further, the better.
He looked forward emotionlessly, as if whatever Naomi said next would not affect him at all.
He continued walking forward, and his grip on Naomi got even tighter. Too tight, in fact.
Naomi sensed it. She looked at his emotionless face and no longer dared to say a single word.
Scott was truly unreasonable at this moment.
The car stopped right in front of the hospital. Someone was already there waiting.
When he saw the car, he immediately rushed over. "What happened? Who's unwell? We just saw each other just now."
It was Dylan. He immediately bombarded them with questions. On the way there, Scott made a phone call, but he only said to arrange for a doctor before hanging up.
That was why Naomi did not know that Scott had called Dylan. She was surprised to see him.
Scott ignored him and carried Naomi out of the car.
Dylan immediately moved out of the way. When he saw Naomi, he was stunned. "Jonas was right! It really is Naomi! He can see the future! Naomi, what happened to you? Are you feeling unwell? You —mmph, mmh!"
