Chapter 69

Naomi needed some equipment from the medical room and also required some medication to go with it, so she had to go in

She had thought she was more special than Cheryl, but now it didn’t seem entirely that way.

First love was always unforgettable, and in her previous life, she perished at the hands of her first love.

Mr. Fischer, I’m back, Naomi said respectfully I found the herb

Shawn finally withdrew his gaze from Cheryl’s face and stared at Naomi for quite a while. Though she had only been gone for a short three days. she seemed to have lost weight

In his eyes. Naomi was malnourished. Shawn only felt that the few morsels of flesh he had managed to put on her had now vanished.

shawn’s gaze was too direct and discontented, making Naomi somewhat nervous. She wondered if it was inappropriate for her to come in at

time.

But she couldn’t delay dealing with the herb any longer.

Naomi steadied herself and said, “Mr. Fischer, I need to use the medical room for no more than half an hour?

“Alright” Shawn withdrew his gaze and stared at Cheryl again.

When Cheryl used to be by his side, she often sought attention, but he never really paid her much notice. He remembered her bring timid and pleasing in front of him, but he also heard she would be domineering and bully others behind his back, using her status as his woman,

He believed women had two faces.

Cheryl was like that, and so was Naomi.

nd left the medical room.

Shawn took his gaze away and left

After he left, the tension in the medical room gradually dissipated, and cautiously, Derek approached Naomi from behind.

“Dr. Edwards, are you okay?” he asked.

Naomi raised her finger. “Why do you ask?”

“My sister and Mr. Fischer… they have no relationship now Derek explained cautiously. “My sister came here to give you the reward, but she hasn’t been feeling well lately, so she fainted. Chandler didn’t dare carry her to the villa, so he brought her here instead.

e to check on her, and once my sister wakes up. Mr. Fischer will ask her to leave

“Just now, the family doctor came to

Naomi had now regained her composure. She handled the herbs she had dug up meticulously, carefully setting the roots and soil in a glass bottle Once she finished with the herbs, she was diff to the laboratory for the next step.

“Dr. Edwards, are you upset?” he asked again.

Derek i tone dropped a bit. “My sister isai’t a bad person”

“Mr. Larson, you’re bothering me,” Naomi said coldly. “What your sister is like has nothing to do with me. Whatever happened between her and Mr. Fischer in the past and now has nothing to do with me. Tiu just Mr. Fischer’s personal assistant, I’m just working for him.

– Tarson, don’t make muleading remarks in the future, whether intentional or not.

After finishing with the herb, Naomi picked up her things and left.

Mr. Larson, Lake good care of your sister,” she said.

The effects of this particular herb were the most crucial, so she had to watch attentively throughout

She was so caught up in her work that it went on word the next morning,

She didn’t even go for

dinner.

When Carla brought her food. Naomi didn’t leave the laboratory Carla had no choice but to take the meal back.

Shawn, upon learning this, had an extremely unpleasant expression.

Is it really necessary for Naomi to push herself so hard for Derek? It’s one thing not to eat while outside, but coming back and still not eating–does she truly think her body is made of iron? he thought.

Boss, is Ms. Edwards always this focused on everything she does?” Carla tried to divert his attention by speaking to him when she noticed his bad

mood

Shawn glanced at Carla before forcefully cutting into a steak, the utensils clattering against the plate, creating a jarring sound.

Carla shuddered. “The stove is still on. I’ll go to the kitchen”

Carla was a servant who came with Shawn’s mother and had taken care of him since he was young. needed to maintain a certam distance from him.

Naomi was always focused on anything she did, including when sleeping with him.

So, when he said to make her a personal assistant, she really treated it just as a job.

Just like when she treated Derek’s burns.

Shawn i wouldn’t get mad at Carla, but she also

Thinking of this, Shawn set down his utensils, Eating alone didn’t bother him before, but in these three days without Naomi’s company, food fell

Lasteles to him

He suddenly missed the days when she kept him company during meals.

The next morning, Naomi emerged from the laboratory at ten o’clock. In between, she only drank some water and didn’t eat anything else. Her stomach was now empty, making her feel very uncomfortable.

But fortunately, the ointment was ready

Returning to the villa, Carla greeted fier, “Ms. Edwards, come and have breakfast”

I’ll go take a shower and change my clothes first. I smell really bad,” Naomi said.

“Naomi, come here” A deep, cold voice sounded, causing Nami to halt her steps, and then she walked into the dining room.
