CHAPTER 103
Charles texted, [Are you asleep?]
Naomi looked at the time and noted that it was 9:37 p.m.; time sure did pass quickly.
She replied to Charles.
…
Charles had just reached home after a busy day. He had been in contact with her almost every day. He knew that she was busy, so she could not see him in person.
That was fine. If she could not come to him, he would go to her.
He would send her medicine or other things she could need. He always had a way to get closer to her.
As long as he wanted to.
He mostly visited her at night as she was not home during the day. She was out and about with Chandler and would return home only after dinner.
It was late into the night. He could only chat with her for a while before having to leave. Even so, he was more than happy to do that.
Naomi replied, [Not yet.]
Charles smiled when he saw her message.
[Charles: Are you free to chat now?]
Naomi looked at his message. She knew what he was thinking. She tapped into her contacts and called him straight away.
All this while, Charles has been asking her daily about the condition of her hands. He would send her medication from time to time, afraid that her hand would scar.
She would come home late every time. In turn, Charles would come around only for a while before leaving as he did not want her to head to bed too late.
This was quite troublesome for him.
The trip back and forth would take two hours for him. He would only see her for a few minutes before leaving. Naomi understood him well.
She would remember all the kind things Charles did for her.
Charles‘ face lit up as he saw her call. He answered the call while placing his key in the bowl by the side of the door.
He entered his house. “Have you reached home yet?”
“It’s late, and you’re out alone. I’m a little worried.” Indeed, Charles was a little worried. Anxious, even,
Naomi knew this, but she could not trouble him to fetch her so late at night. He had been working very hard every day, especially during this time when he would visit her at night.
“It’s fine. I’ll let you know when I’m home. Is that okay?” Naomi said gently. Her last three words were filled with indescribable closeness and understanding they had between each
other.
Charles‘ heart skipped a beat before it raced at an alarming pace.
She asked if it was ‘okay‘. That sounded like they were a couple.
She was concerned for him. She cared for him. She understood his worry.
His body suddenly felt hot, and his grip on his phone instinctively tightened.
