Chapter 322
Charles snapped back to reality. Subconsciously, his gaze met hers, capturing the playful spark in Amelia's eyes. It was then that he realized how he looked.
Charles, feeling suddenly embarrassed, retracted his gaze and clenched his fist against his lips, clearing his throat gently.
"Her current situation is stable," he said.
Trying to regain composure, he could not afford any more confusion. Otherwise, Naomi might be alarmed. Offering a chair to Charles, Naomi said, "Sit, Charles, there's a chair." Charles replied, "It's alright, I'm fine standing."
Naomi pouted. "Charles, just sit."
With that, she went to pour a glass of water for Charles. He accepted it with a nod, saying, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, Charles."
Naomi brought a chair from the dining table and sat on the other side. Charles observed silently, settling into his seat. Turning to Amelia, he inquired, "How do you feel?"
Amelia raised her hand. "Charles, look at me, what do you think?"
Laughing, Charles replied, "I'd say your recovery looks good."
"Well, there you have it. I've always had a remarkable recovery ability. I'll be fine soon, so don't worry about me."
Amelia exuded confidence, but Naomi could not help but caution, "No matter how good your recovery is, you still need to take care of yourself. If you don't take care of your health, it won't last in the long run." Her remark pointed to Amelia's tendency to prioritize work over her own well-being. A habit that, if continued, would not bode well for her health.

to be careless. Amelia quickly adopted a serious expression, nodding solemnly. "Naomi is right After this incident, I can never joke about my own health again. will absolutely take good care of my body! Absolutely!"
Seeing her earnest expression, Naomi could not help but shake her head in resignation. She knew that Amelia could not neglect her work and she understood that. However, Naomi would not say much. Some things were left better unsaid, even for the best of friends.
Charles also knew Amelia's temperament. After all, when Amelia and Sean were together before, they often hung out, and he had a certain understanding of her. Charles said, "Sean will arrive in the country today."
It had been several hours since Sean boarded the plane, and Charles kept count of the time. Sean would arrive in the country around four or five in the afternoon.
As soon as Amelia heard the name 'Sean', her expression instantly dropped. "Charles, can we not talk about that annoying person?"
Seeing Amelia's appearance, Naomi could not help but laugh. So did Charles.
Charles arrived and talked to Amelia along with Naomi. Then, the doctor came to examine Amelia while a nurse administered an IV drip.
Naomi asked the doctor about Amelia's condition. The doctor mentioned that it was fortunate she was brought to the hospital quickly. Otherwise, Amelia's condition could have been much more severe. Naomi felt uneasy upon hearing the doctor's words.
Amelia wanted to say that she was fine, but seeing Naomi's serious expression, she dared not speak. She obediently lay on the bed, choosing not to say anything.
Naomi asked the doctor about
Amelia's current condition. The doctor mentioned that her recovery was going well. However, she still needed to stay in the hospital for a few days. Amelia had
gastrointestinal injuries, and extra care was needed for her diet in the future.
Naomi nodded in understanding.
The doctor said everything that needed to be said and offered all the advice. Naomi carefully noted it down. Then, she escorted the doctor out of the ward. Amelia leaned against the bedhead, looking at Naomi standing by the door. She was feeling quite nervous.
