Nelson had a meeting in the afternoon. As soon as he came out, he noticed that it was raining outside.
Richard held the umbrella for him and whispered to him.
He told Nelson in a low voice, "You can get in the car first. I'll take care of the rest..."
However, before his voice could die away, he noticed that Nelson's eyes were fixed in a certain direction.
Richard followed his line of sight.
He asked curiously, "Isn't that Miss George? Is she sick?"
When Nelson stayed quiet, Richard said, "Sir, you're really shrewd and smart enough to anticipate that we'll run into Miss George here today!"
In the next second, Nelson snatched the umbrella away from his hand.
"Do you think that I'm some kind of god who knows everything?"
Richard choked for a moment, and then he watched as Nelson ran towards Naomi.
Richard was confused. Hadn't they agreed that Naomi was only a pawn for them? If so, why was Nelson running towards her so quickly?
The chauffeur was behind Richard.
He asked, "Richard, what should..."
Richard said, "Are you daft? Hurry up and drive the car to Mr. Nelson's side!"
"Oh!" The chauffeur hurriedly nodded and acted accordingly.
At the moment, Naomi had fainted and her clothes had been soaked by the rain. The chauffeur drove the car to their side and got out of it.
"Sir, let me carry..."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hands to carry Naomi. However, he held back when Nelson cast a cold gaze at him.
Richard inwardly chuckled and instructed the chauffeur, "Open the door!"
"Yes!" The chauffeur hastily opened the door of the car.
After Nelson placed Naomi in a comfortable position in the car, Richard went to sit in the front passenger seat.
"You're going to the hospital, aren't you? If so, then you can drop me off at the company when you pass by it later..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a file was thrown to him from the back seat.
"That's out of my way. Go back by yourself!"
Richard was rendered speechless.
After getting out of the car with a sullen expression, Richard looked at the car that was driving away, baffled.
What the hell was Nelson trying to do?
After Richard got out of the car, the chauffeur felt the heavy atmosphere worsen in the car.
He wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to do so. As they were near an intersection, he still had no idea whether he should make a turn or not.
Therefore, he had no choice but to ask weakly, "Mr. Luther, where are we going?"
Nelson took a look at Naomi, and then at the chauffeur. Finally, he said in a low voice, "To the hotel!"
"Okay!" the chauffeur let out a sigh of relief.
After they arrived at the hotel, Nelson immediately went upstairs with Naomi in his arms.
Before leaving, he gave the chauffeur another order, "Call the doctor."
In the room, the doctor soon arrived.
After giving Naomi a simple examination, the doctor prescribed some medicine and said, "The patient is just suffering from a fever due to fatigue and cold. For the time being, she doesn't need an IV drip. Instead, external cooling methods will be enough, and she must remember to take her medicine. Contact me if you have any problems."
After the doctor left, Nelson looked at the medicine left by the doctor. Then, he asked for some plain water from the hotel staff.
He dissolved the medicine tablets in a glass of water and walked over to the bedside.
"It's time to have your medicine!"
Naomi was in a daze and most probably had successfully been woken up by him. However, she failed to become alert at all and she was totally oblivious of her surroundings.
Nelson was a little despondent. He loosened his tie around his neck before he bent down
He called out to her, "Naomi, it's time to eat your medicine!"
Her reaction remained the same.
Nelson closed his eyes and said, "Whatever!" After that, he placed the medicine on the bedside table.
