Chapter 678
Ashlyn rushed to the hospital after receiving the call. When she arrived, she saw the young woman sitting on the
edge of the bed, ready to put on slippers and get out of bed.
“Naomi, are you all right?”
Ashlyn dashed toward the bed and held Naomi. “Do you feel any discomfort?”
However, it took a long time for Naomi to respond and smile back at her. “Ashlyn, you're here!”
“Naomi?” Feeling perplexed, Ashlyn frowned at her.
Why aren't you answering my question?
“Ashlyn, I-I can't hear what you're saying.” Looking at the woman in front of her, Naomi saw her red lips moving,
but there was no sound in her world.
The dead silence was terrifying.
She could not hear anything whatsoever.
Realization dawned on Naomi that she had lost her sense of hearing.
She could only see Ashlyn's moving lips without hearing a single word the latter said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWorse, Naomi could not even hear her own voice.
Ashlyn's heart ached terribly, as though she was being stabbed repeatedly.
In a split second, she came to the realization that something had gone wrong with Naomi.
Naomi can't hear anything. Judging by her reactions, she's now deaf. I'm the cause of all her suffering.
Originally, Helena wanted to spike Ashlyn's drink, but Naomi ended up ingesting the poison.
“Ashlyn, I need to go to the bathroom,” she muttered in a raspy voice.
Ashlyn quickly helped her to the bathroom.
Naomi walked to the bathroom door with Ashlyn's assistance and entered by herself.
After they waited in the ward for a while, Jonathan returned with some items. He also bought nutritious soup for
Naomi.
As soon as the lid was lifted, the aroma of the soup permeated the room.
The tantalizing smell would whet most people's appetite.
Nevertheless, Naomi remained unresponsive.
Ashlyn scooped up a spoonful of the delicious soup, intending to feed her. Shaking her head, Naomi pushed it away
with her hand.
She wanted to persuade Naomi to take a sip or two of the soup. However, she decided against it when she recalled
Naomi could not hear anything.
In the end, she tried to feed Naomi another spoonful.
Unfortunately, the latter felt nauseous at the smell of the soup and quickly reached out to push the bowl away.
Not feeling annoyed, Ashlyn put down the bowl.
The moment Ashlyn looked up, she saw Naomi biting her lip and glancing at her cautiously.
On the other hand, Jonathan was annoyed. “I went out early in the morning just to buy this soup for you.”
“Let her be if she doesn't want to eat. Thank you for your hard work.” Ashlyn looked at the handsome young man
and added, “Give me the pen and paper.”
Nodding, Jonathan brought those items from the side table to Ashlyn. She immediately picked up the pen and
started writing: You might have lost your sense of hearing. However, these symptoms are temporary.
Naomi did not eat anything, and there was not much strength left in her. Holding the pen unsteadily, she tried
writing several times. Eventually, she had to speak again in a voice that she could not even hear. ”Don't lie to me,
Ashlyn. Are these the effects of being poisoned?”
A sudden pang of pain hit Ashlyn's chest, and she forced a smile, trying to hide her agony.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen she wrote: No. These symptoms are temporary. You'll recover soon. Don't think too much about it.
Naomi curled her lips as she finished reading the words, but she was not smiling at all. ”Ashlyn, I may not be able to
continue filming anymore. You have to find another female lead.”
Listening to Naomi's hoarse voice brought a lump to Ashlyn's throat.
She wrote again: It's okay. We'll resume filming when you recover.
Staring at those words, Naomi got lost in thought. It's unknown whether I can make a full recovery or not.
Shaking her head, Naomi persuaded, “There's no need for that, Ashlyn. If there's any suitable actress—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Ashlyn held her hands tightly.
Ashlyn stared at Naomi, who pretended to be nonchalant about her predicament.
Feeling a bit heartbroken, she wrote: We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Right then, someone knocked on the door.
“Come in,” said Ashlyn.
A nurse walked in carrying a thermal lunch box. “Ms. Nolan, this is the breakfast sent by Mr. Nolan.”
Unfortunately, Naomi could not hear a single word uttered by the nurse.
Hence, she glanced at Ashlyn curiously.
