Pursuing My Ex Wife in Full Blooming Spring novel (Naomi) novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26 

Naomi returned to her room, and it was only just past opm by the time she finished showering

Although it was still early, she wanted to call it a night since she was exhausted from the hikes. She closed her eyes and, as she thought about all the tasks she waited for her, shumber crept up on her and began to envelop her in its warm embrace 

You want to leave, don’t you? to your dreams, Kirk!” 

What do you want to do? Hit me? Come hit me with your best shot!” 

Smack

Is that all you got? Watch this!” 

The vague voices of the arguing couple ripped through the comfortable silence. Naomi was rather annoyed by it, but she was so exhausted from the hike that afternoon that the noises barely even stirred her

The voices were interspersed with sounds of clattering items, but as the night engulfed her, the noises grew softer and softer until gradually they disappeared

Naomi drifted off to sleep

However, after some time, she was jerked awake by the smell of smoke

Naomi’s eyelids flew open

Her entire room was enveloped in thick heavy smoke that invaded her airway and made her choke. She clutched her nose and glanced around the room in panic

Nothing was on fire, but- 

Naomi noticed that the smoke was seeping in from underneath her door, so she put on her robe, flung the door open, and sprinted to the room next door, where the smoke was coming from

The door was wide open, exposing the inside of the room. The room was engulfed in fiery flames that were eating at the wall between this room and hers. The woman she encountered at dinner that night was slumped on the ground, unconscious, with blood seeping out from a wound on her forehead

The color drained from Naomi’s face. Thankfully, she was able to keep her head on and shouted for help, Help, help! Fire! This girl’s hurt! Someone come help!” 

As she shouted, she sprinted into the room, knelt before the woman, and tried to feel if she was still breathing

She was

Thank God

Naomi let out a sigh of relief, then glanced first at the fire, and then at the bleeding woman. She did 

not know where the woman got hurt and did not dare to move her for fear of causing even more damage. She had no choice but to continue shouting, Help! Fire! Someone is hurt! Can someone hear me? Help!” 

She glanced around the room but did not see the man whom she encountered at dinner with the 

woman

Naomi ran back out of the room and called the police

It was the middle of the night and everybody was sound asleep, but Charles’s room was just next to Naomi’s, so he woke when he heard her shouting

He put on a robe and went running
