Daddy’s Doting Addiction

Chapter 78

Anger washed over Jack‘s face upon hearing Naomi‘s words. The things he wanted to say turned into a scornful scolding.

“Weren‘t you invincible? Why did I have to be responsible for cleaning up your mess? You‘re an embarrassment to the Hough family!” Naomi had initially felt a sense of gratitude towards Jack, but his mocking tone pushed her over the edge. “I do apologize for constantly letting the Houghs down. You‘re better off divorcing me and finding yourself a deserving wife!” “Great! That‘s just perfect!” Jack replied with a smirk that did not quite reach his eyes.

Every word he said was cold enough to freeze someone solid!

Those were not the words he wanted to hear from her after a long, sleepless night,

“Sir! The doctor has something urgent to discuss with you!”

At that moment, Sean suddenly burst into the room with a frantic expression on his face, effectively breaking the tense atmosphere between the couple.

Jack got up, glanced coldly at Naomi, then stomped out of the room

Sean trailed closely behind him and let out a long sigh

Once the room door closed behind them, Naomi let out a long sigh of relief herself

Did Mister Long Legs save her, or was it Jack?

She began to feel confused.

Naomi tried her best to recall the events of the night before, but she could not remember anything apart from the young man with the umbrella, nor could she recall it Jack was even at the scene. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Her phone, which was wrecked beyond recognition, suddenly started ringing. It was Susan,

“Hello? Susan?” “My god! You finally answered! I was worried to death! Where are you right now? I‘m coming over!”

“I‘m resting at the hospital. It‘s nothing serious. It‘s late, so you don‘t have to come.”

Susan‘s caring words made Naomi feel a sense of warmth. It felt amazing to finally have someone dote on her and ask how she felt after all she had gone through. “What happened? What exactly did you get yourself into?” “This was all Clarissa‘s doing. I never expected her to go to these lengths.”

Naomi‘s eyes turned cold as she explained everything that happened that day to Susan. “I‘ll remember what she did to me, Susan. I‘ll send a recording to you later. Hold on to this evidence for me so I can use it later on!”

Back at the warehouse, Naomi had held a knife to the red–headed man‘s neck. He confessed everything while she recorded it on her phone.

She would make Clarissa pay tenfold for everything that happened that day!

“Alright! Leave the rest to me. Thank goodness you‘re alright!” Susan said with relief. Naomi hesitated but ended up telling Susan about the young man anyway. “Susan, I think I saw that boy. Every time I‘m in danger, he just appears out of nowhere and saves me!” “Really?”

“Of course! I‘d recognize him even if he turned to ash!” “Could you have been hallucinating under all of that stress? Didn‘t you say you were out of it? “Susan asked with a hint of suspicion in her voice.

“Besides, if what you‘re saying is true, he must have taken really good care of himself! How could he still look so young ten years later?”

“Well...”

Naomi was speechless. She almost got thrown off by Susan. “I don‘t think I imagined things. Also, I have a feeling that I‘ll be seeing him again very soon!” “I hope so. It‘s a good thing Jack got there in time. Otherwise, I can‘t imagine what would have happened!” Naomi raised her brows. “Jack?” “Didn‘t you know? I couldn‘t reach you, so I called Jack. When he heard that you were missing, he used all of his connections to find out where you were. How else could he have found you so

soon?”

“He was the one who found me?”

Naomi suddenly felt a pang of guilt in her heart.

“Of course it was him. You have no idea how worried he was. If you hadn‘t been complaining about him this whole time, I would have suspected that he liked you!”

“He was worried?” Naomi‘s eyes widened in shock, and she felt a tingle at a tiny corner of her heart.
