Pursuing My Ex Wife in Full Blooming Spring novel (Naomi) novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27 

Naomi caught sight of it out of the corner of her eye and with a quick push, managed to shove it aside out of Charles’s way

The pillar toppled in the opposite direction, landing on the ground with a deafening thud

The color drained from Charles’s face at this point. He glanced at Naomi’s hand. Naomi!” 

Get out of here!Naomi shouted, ignoring the excruciating pain from the burning flesh of her hand, and instead dragged Charles out of the burning inferno

By this time, all the guests staying on the same floor woke up from the commotion and emerged from their rooms to see what was going on. When they realized what happened, they all rushed forward to help. Some of them called the cops, some of them helped check on the unconscious woman, and the rest tried to put out the fire

It did not take long for the fire brigade, the police, and the ambulance to arrive

Since Naomi and Charles were the first witnesses to arrive at the scene, and since Naomi got herself burned when trying to push the pillar out of the way, she and Charles were then brought to the hospital in the ambulance along with the unconscious woman

As soon as they arrived, the woman was sent into the emergency department whereas Naomi was bussed aside to the wound treatment room

Thankfully, one of the guests who had medical experience treated Naomi’s wound before she was brought to the hospital. The doctor let out a sigh of relief when he saw Naomi’s burn. You’re lucky- the burn isn’t that deep, and fortunately someone treated your wound before coming here. If he or she didn’t do so, it’ll surely leave a scar. I know how much you youngsters care about your appearance 

a scar will be akin to torture for you girls.” 

Naomi was in such a state of shock that she did not even register the pain initially, but now, the pain from the burn was hitting her so hard her forehead was covered in beads of sweat. She forced out a smile and replied, It’s fine.” 

She did not think things through and instead acted on instinct when she reached out to push the burning pillar out of the way, but she did not regret it one bit

She did not regret doing this at all, even if it meant she would have a permanent scar on her hand

Meanwhile, Charles frowned as he stared at Naomi’s hand which was wrapped in thick layers of gauze. She got hurt because of him

He failed to protect her

The doctor gave them some instructions on how to care for Naomi’s wound and then left

Charles turned to Naomi. You wait here. I’ll go get your medicine from the pharmacy.”

2/2 

Although Naomi did not need to be admitted, she was prescribed some painkillers and needed to return to the hospital to get her dressing changed in a few days

During this time, she needed to take care of her wound so that it would not get infected

Naomi lifted her head to meet Charles’s gaze. His brows were furrowed from the moment he carried the unconscious woman out of the fire

She knew he was blaming himself for her injuryshe could feel his despair, so she said, I’m fine, Charles

Her expression was solemn

Charles felt as though he was carrying a weight on his shoulders. He felt suffocated by the heavy guilt that weighed on him. he blamed himself for failing to take care of Naomi as he promised

If only he heard her cries for help earlier

If only he showed up earlier
