Chapter 290
Naomi did not intend to hide the truth from him, so she replied, "I was on the phone with Amelia just now when she suddenly had severe stomach pain. It sounded serious. I want to call Sean to inform him about it."
Charles understood. He could tell that Naomi was extremely worried, so he quickly said, "Alright. I'll send his number to you right now. Just stay calm."
"Okay."
Naomi hung up.
Charles immediately clicked into his messages and forwarded Sean's number to Naomi. He intended to do so while still on the call so that he could inquire further about Amelia's condition. However, the moment he put down his phone, the call ended.
He wanted to ask Naomi about Amelia's condition and call Sean himself. After all, it was his best friend's girlfriend, so he had to make sure he had his facts straight before telling him anything.
However, Naomi had hung up before he could even do so. Charles froze when he heard the dial tone, then smiled. He felt his anxiety lighten after this brief call.
Naomi knew he was busy and did not want to keep him occupied. That was why she had hung up so quickly.
Charles smiled but quickly resumed what he was doing. He forwarded Sean's number to Naomi, and her reply came quickly.
[Thank you.]
Charles' expression softened at this. It turned out Naomi wanted Sean and Amelia to be happy, after all.
Charles sent her a message asking her for more information but did not wait for her response. Instead, he quickly made his way to the boarding gate and boarded his flight.
At the same time, Naomi dialed Sean's number. She waited patiently as the call went through.
"Hello?"
"Sean. It's me, Naomi."
"Naomi?" Sean was rather surprised. He glanced at the screen to make sure he was not hearing things wrongly and asked, "What's wrong, Naomi?"
Naomi had always been cautious about keeping a distance from Sean. She had never saved Sean's number when he and Amelia were seeing each other and had never tried to contact him once.
Therefore, there must have been a reason for Naomi to call him out of the blue, not to mention at this hour. Sean had a feeling that something was wrong. His chest tightened as the image of Amelia's face materialized in his mind.
Sean's grip tightened around his phone.
Naomi was about to reply, but Sean's voice rang out again, "Did something happen to Amelia?"
He was nervous and worried.
Naomi replied, "I was on the phone with her when she suddenly had a severe stomachache. It sounded serious. wanted to tell you so that you could go check on her if you're in San Angelino. I'm in Herland right now. I'm on my way to San Angelino, but it'll be a few hours before I
arrive."
"San Angelino? I... I'm out of the country right now on a business trip. Amelia... Amelia is in San Angelino right now? Let me think for a
moment. Where is she? Which hotel is she staying at? Do you know her exact location? I'll send someone to check on her right now." Sean's mind was racing a hundred miles a
minute.
Naomi could not help feeling relieved when she realized how worried Sean was. He cared about her as much as she did for him.
"She's at the Holiday Inn Hotel. Room 1713. I've told her to call 911 and wait for the ambulance to come. I'm already on my way to the airport to fly out to San Angelino." "Alright, thanks. I'll make some calls and send someone out to check on her. Don't worry, Naomi. She'll be fine."
"Okay."
With that, Sean hung up. Naomi felt relief wash through her when she got out of the car.
She still believed in true love. She
had witnessed truly self-sacrificing
love from her parents and the people around her. Therefore, even though she herself had been
through an unfulfilling marriage, Naomi still firmly believed that true love existed.
She put down her phone and glanced out the window. The twinkling city lights reflected in her clear eyes.
At the same time, Charles boarded his plane. He glanced at the time, then decided to make a quick call to Sean.
