Boomerang Love (Naomi and Brendan) novel Chapter 234

Chapter 234 

1/2 

Naomi handed Melanie a few tissues and comforted her. “Let’s go to the hospital to check on Jessica’s 

condition. Then, we’ll search for some clues to see what charges to press.” 

“Thank you, Naomi.” Melanie stared at Naomi as if she were hope and justice personified. 

Naomi’s breakthrough in Charles‘ case was all over the news. So, her acquaintances and past classmates 

held her on a pedestal, proud to have such a classmate. 

Naomi had always been popular in school for her beauty. Now, all the schools she attended took pride in 

her, especially Ashburgh University. 

Naomi was still young, with a bright future ahead. She would only go up from here. They were sure she 

would come to handle more major cases and even make international news. 

She was even as famous internationally as Brendan. Of course, those were stories for later. 

After accompanying Melanie to the hospital to see Jessica and reviewing some photos provided by 

Melanie, Naomi could tell that Jessica had indeed been abused. 

A more detailed examination would likely reveal more old injuries. 

The photos Melanie had taken of Jessica back when the latter had first been taken to the hospital even 

showed a visible bruise on her neck. 

Therefore, it definitely wasn’t a simple couple quarrel that had driven Jessica to jump from the building. 

Who knew how she had managed to get over the railings to begin with? 

Back at her desk, Naomi studied the evidence before her with a heavy heart. Memories of Brendan’s push 

occasionally flashed across her mind. 

Just then, the bedroom door opened. But Naomi was clueless and didn’t realize that Brendan had entered. 

Brendan walked over with a cup of hot milk. When he saw her in her glasses, fully immersed in her work, he placed the milk in front of her. “Did you take on a new case again?” 

Charles‘ case had just ended, and Naomi hadn’t gotten much rest after that. Yet she was busying herself 

with work again. 

Naomi didn’t look up from her work. “Yes! It’s a case from one of my high school classmates. They 

suspect their sister was being domestically abused, and the other party even attempted murder recently.” 

Brendan grew alert at this. “Is your classmate a man or a woman?” 

Naomi chuckled, temporarily pausing her work to face Brendan. “It’s a man.” 

She added, “And there’s something between us too.” 

Seeing Brendan’s dark look, Naomi quickly explained, “It’s a woman! What were you thinking about?” 

With that, Naomi continued to organize the evidence. 

After visiting Jessica in the hospital that day, Naomi planned to take on the case. But she was still deciding on the charges. She wasn’t ruling out the possibility of attempted murder, either. 

Seeing Naomi’s seriousness, Brendan decided to let her be. He took a book and put on his glasses, lying on the bed to read. 

Midnight came, and Brendan was about to remind Naomi to go to bed when he saw her stretch lazily, preparing to call it a night.
