Pursuing My Ex Wife in Full Blooming Spring novel (Naomi) novel Chapter 294

The moment he left the plane, he dialed Wendy's number. "Mom, I've arrived in San Angelino."

"That's great, Charles. You're just in time. Grandma just came out of surgery. The surgery was a success. She's fine now." Charles could tell that Wendy was relieved.

Charles smiled. He felt as though the weight had been lifted off his shoulders. "That's great news, Mom. I'll come over right now. I'm forty minutes away."

"Okay, Charles. Take your time. There's no rush. Grandma is in the ICU now. She needs to be kept under observation for a few days."

"Alright."

With that, he hung up and quickly checked his messages. There were two: one from Naomi and one from Sean.

He smiled and clicked on Naomi's message.

[Naomi: I will, Charles. Try to get some rest too. Don't worry about rushing back here. I can settle Olivia's lawyers by myself.]

Charles knew she would say that.

Fortunately, his grandmother's surgery was a success, so he would be able to return to Herland the next morning after all.

Charles was just about to reply when something occurred to him. He glanced at the time. It was already almost 2 p.m. Naomi was probably asleep by now.

He decided not to disturb her and instead clicked on Sean's message.

[Sean: Hey, Charles, Amelia's in San Angelino, and Naomi's headed there too. She's probably going to arrive a little later than you are. You didn't know, did you?]

It sounded like Sean was teasing him, as though he was making fun of Charles for not knowing Naomi was where he was.

Charles froze.
