Chapter 2

In the past, I would argue and explain things to him, but now, I had no desire to talk to him at all.

He could do whatever he thought, I was tired.

"Of course not, so I'm leaving."

I turned around and left. Behind me, Blake looked at my back with a stunned expression.

This was the first time that I left calmly without crying or making a fuss for him being with Zara.

For the first time ever, Blake left Zara behind and caught up with me.

"Why haven't you contacted me for so many days? How is your mom?"

In the days when I had been blocking Blake, he would have realized something was wrong if he sent me one message, but he didn't. At this moment, he still wanted to take the initiative and accuse me from the moral high ground as usual.

"If you really care about me, why didn't you contact me?"

I was indifferent.

"I...I've been working overtime and haven't had time yet."

Perhaps he didn't expect that I, who always spoke softly and humbly to him, would talk to him like this. Blake was stunned for a moment, and the explanation he blurted out was also full of loopholes.

I didn't want to waste time with him anymore. So I brushed past him.

He immediately grabbed my wrist.

"I didn't think things through this time. I will definitely tell you everything I do next time. Don't make any fuss, okay?"

He probably thought I was still mad at him for abandoning me, so he lowered himself for the first time to coax me.

Under normal circumstances, I would definitely be comforted immediately, hug him and be cute, saying that I had a bad temper and took the blame on myself.

But now, I didn't say anything. I used my other hand to break open his fingers and tried to leave.

Blake finally lost his patience, his tone turned cold, and he lowered his voice, fearing that Zara would hear it.

"Naomi, you are already my fiancée, why are you always fighting with a patient?"

Zara had a mental illness which relapses from time to time. Blake and Zara are childhood sweethearts and had been inseparable since they were young. Both the Scott and Gilbert families felt that it was natural for Blake to take care of Zara.

I just found it funny.

Love is not about who is sick and who is right. Zara was sick, but what did it have to do with me?

Seeing that I didn't speak, Blake's tone became colder.

"I've already apologized, what else do you want?"

"I don't want anything, I'm just a little tired and want to go home and rest."

"Naomi, Zara and I are just friends. She has been in a bad state recently, so her parents asked me to take care of her. Can you be a little reasonable?"

"Blake, my mom also asked you to take care of me before she got into ICU."

I looked at Blake calmly.

Blake was silent for a moment.

I took the opportunity to shake off his hand and walked away.

Blake looked at my back and felt like there was something he could no longer hold. He frowned and called his assistant.

"Leo, contact the best oncologist in the country for consultation and perform surgery on Naomi's mom."
