Pursuing My Ex Wife in Full Blooming Spring

Chapter 210

Scott looked at Naomi, who was in his arms.

Naomi looked away nervously. As her emotions changed, her clutch on his shirt also tightened.

Scott looked at her frantic gaze, then at her clutch on his shirt. The moment he placed her on the bed, the clutch on his shirt was released. Naomi immediately cowered as if trying to escape a foul beast.

Scott looked at her and slowly blushed. He stood by the side of the bed, not leaving.

Naomi got in bed and put the covers on her. She then lay down and faced the wall instead of Scott. She shut her eyes.

He had drunk quite a lot of alcohol. She would have asked about it in the past, but she would no longer do that. After all, it had nothing to do with her. She would keep her question to herself instead.

Scott watched as her hair spread out on the pillow, her eyes shut. If mere behaviors could speak, hers said, 'We're divorced. Let's just stay in our lanes.'

He looked at her with a complicated gaze. Then, he turned and headed to the bathroom.

Naomi felt her nerves relaxing when she heard the bathroom door closing and the water running. She knew he was by the side of the bed looking at her, but she did not know why. The way he stared at her when he carried her…was just as confusing.

Even if she was safe in bed, thinking about it made Naomi nervous. Something was off with him, but she could not pinpoint it. She was a little afraid, frankly. She wanted to stay far away from him.

Naomi's eyebrows furrowed.

She never felt this before, and it confused her why she felt this way. Worse still, she did not know where the problem was.

The room still reeked a little alcohol, breaking the initially calm and peaceful air. It made one rather anxious.

Naomi could not understand, neither did she want to continue thinking about it. It was already past 10 p.m., and she needed to sleep.

Looking at the night getting darker. Naomi closed her eyes. The sounds of the water running slowly lulled her to sleep.

…

Scott came out of the shower with a wave of hot air around him. He instantly disrupted the calmness of the room.

He looked at Naomi, her brow relaxed. lying in bed. The aloof expression she had was gone, and so did her nervousness. At that moment, she was calmly asleep.

He wiped his hair dry and set his phone on silent. He threw the towel on the couch and walked over to the bed to lie down. The unsuspecting Naomi had no idea this was happening.

Scott did not do anything. He lay in bed quietly, just like when they used to share a bed. He did not even cover himself with the covers.

The room quieted down. Listening to her calm and steady breathing, he closed his eyes.

The sensor-activated lights turned off.

…

At that moment, at Herland City Hospital. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The hospital during the day was bustling with people, but it was empty at night—perhaps even chilly.

Olivia was still awake in the VIP ward. She was leaning by the bed, dealing with work on her phone. Although she was in Herland, she never stopped working. She still did what she needed to do.

The caretaker had been in the room the whole day, looking after her.

Suddenly, there was a calm knock on the door.
