Chapter 680
Not long after Ashlyn left, Naomi rushed into the bathroom and began to vomit like mad.
She threw up all the spaghetti bolognese that she had just eaten.
Naomi wanted to eat, but her weak stomach could not tolerate any food, to her dismay. A wave of nausea engulfed
her every time she tried to eat.
Nevertheless, she did not want Ashlyn, Jonathan, and other people to worry about her.
Ashlyn has been very kind to me. I don't want to make her sad and feel concerned about me.
Tears began to trickle down Naomi's cheeks as she thought of the people dearest to her.
After vomiting, Naomi went back to the bed and lay down again, dozing off after some time.
When Naomi woke up, she found a man standing inside the room.
The sudden appearance startled her. Taking a closer look, Naomi noticed it was her elder brother, Lucas. Only then
did she sigh in relief.
“Lucas, why didn't you wake me up?”
Her voice was still rough. Naomi was afraid that if she did not speak now, she might not get another chance to talk
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe following day, even though she could not hear a single word she said.
Lucas' heart sank when he recalled the doctor's words.
His sister had become deaf; she could not hear anymore.
Walking to the door, Lucas turned on the light.
Staring at her quietly for a while, Lucas asked, “Are you hungry?”
Only then did he realize she could not hear his question.
Grabbing the pen and a piece of paper, he wrote: Are you hungry? I can ask Spencer to bring the soup made by the
maid.
Naomi shook her head. Despite her empty stomach and discomfort, she had no appetite whatsoever.
Shaking her head, Naomi grabbed Lucas' hands.
Even though they were siblings, they had never been this close before.
For the first time, Lucas did not push her away.
“Lucas, I think I'm dying soon. I don't want to die,” Naomi remarked hoarsely.
I'm too young to leave this world! I still have tons of things to do in my life.
Looking compassionately at her, Lucas picked up the pen and wrote: You'll be fine.
Lucas' handwriting was firm, just like his resolute personality.
“Lucas, can you do me a favor? You must promise me one thing. Otherwise, I won't die in peace.”
Naomi tugged on Lucas' sleeve. She glanced at him with misty tears, making it impossible to refuse her wish.
He wrote: What is it?
“Can you please remarry Ashlyn, Lucas? Both of you shouldn't be separated anymore. Please?” Naomi looked at
him with a sorrowful expression.
She cared deeply for Ashlyn. A wave of mixed feelings flooded Naomi's heart at that moment. It was indescribable
for her.
Naomi was terrified that one day when she passed away, she would just be a stranger who had no relationship with
Ashlyn.
I want to become Ashlyn's family.
Her voice was croaky and weak. Still, Lucas heard her plead crystal clear.
The man's thin lips moved, but he did not know how to respond to her request.
When Lucas found out from the doctor that Naomi might be deaf forever, he thought the doctor had misdiagnosed
her condition.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe doctor comes from First Hospital, though. How could there be a mistake?
“Lucas, I can barely speak right now. Maybe in a few more days, I won't be able to talk anymore. They say if
someone loses their hearing for too long, the person will forget how to speak, eventually.”
Does it mean that one day I will also become mute?
Naomi's heart throbbed as she thought of that scenario.
Unless they were in her shoes, no one could understand Naomi's feelings at that moment
“Lucas, why aren't you answering me?” Naomi stared intently at Lucas' handsome face. She knew how powerful
her elder brother was in the whole of Lake City.
Is it beyond his reach to win Ashlyn back?
Unbeknownst to Naomi, it was indeed a daunting task for him.
Lucas' expression darkened as he looked at Naomi. He eventually replied to her, even though he knew she could
not hear his answer. His low voice echoed through the ward.
“It's not that I don't want to reconcile with Ashlyn. I want her back. However, it's not possible for the time being. Our
parents- I have to bide my time and wait until I'm stronger than both of them. Only then can I win Ashlyn back. I
need to be more powerful and become invincible!”
