waking

Chapter 168

Shawn suddenly found himself the same as when he was eight years old. He ran desperately towards that clear figure with a gentle smile and a doting face.

As long as he kept his mother and didn’t let her and his father get the cake, there wouldn’t be an accident.

“Mom..” Shawn heard his childish voice when he was eight years old.

“Mommy, don’t go.” Little Shawn threw himself into his mother’s arms and hugged her tightly. “Mommy, promise me not to go out today, okay!

“I want you to stay with me at home. Mommy, can you make a cake for me?”

Shawn looked at the little voice he made and trembled violently. God knew how scared he was at that moment,

He was really afraid that he couldn’t keep his mother.

“Mommy, ask Daddy to stay here too. You can spend the whole day with me. Don’t go anywhere today, okay? begged Shawn

Leora Fischer smiled gently and stroked Shawn’s head. “Shawn, I’ve been collecting ingredients for the cake I ordered for you a month ago. I will come back soon after going to get it with your dad today. Wait for us at home. If you want to go with me. I can take you there. Okay?”

The little Shawn cried out loud and didn’t want Leona to leave. But after a while, Gilbert Fischer came over. He frowned and picked Shawn up

Gilbert said. “Shawn, what did I teach you? Real men don’t shed tears. You’re just separated from us for a while and you cry like this. How can you take on great responsibilities in the future?)

“Shawn, you are a man, not a baby. Leona, don’t spoil him‘

“Dad, don’t go. Don’t go, Shawn wanted to say that if they went out, there would be a car accident. But in the dream, he was still a child and he failed to say that there would be a car accident no matter how hard he tried.

It was as if he had been cast a spell

He could only keep repeating the words “Don’t go

But how could Gilbert listen to himne Gilbert took him back to the villa and asked Mike, the butler, to bring him toys and food. Then Gilbert left with his wife.

When Leona left, she looked back and smiled at Shawn.

She said, “Shawn, I’ll bring you a birthday cake!

“You will love it

“Mommy, don’t go Please.. Shawn begged.

He shouted beanbrokenly. The next second, the luxury car in which Gilbert and Leona were riding was suddenly hit by an overloaded truck. It broke through the guardrail, turned over in the air, and then fell heavily into the river.

Shawn sat up abruptly from the bed. He was covered in cold sweat and gasped for breath. It had been years since he dreamed of this scene

“Shawn, are you okay!” Naomi’s worried voice sounded in the darkness, and then she reached out to turn on the bedside lamp

Shawn suddenly reached out to block the light and said in a hoarse voice. “Don’t turn on the lamp

“Okay.” Naomi immediately turned off the lamp. “What’s wrong? Did you have nightmares?”

Naomi carefully reached out and hugged him, then patted his back gently. “Don’t be afraid! I’m here.”

Her words and subconscious coaxing made Shawn freeze for a moment, and then he relaxed. After a while, he turned on the bedside lamp again.

“Go back to sleep!” said Shawn

Shawn lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Naomi watched him walk into the bathroom with long legs, and soon there was a sound of water splashing in the bathroom.

Naomi stared thoughtfully at the place where Shawn was lying. The pillow had been completely wet. It was the first time she saw Shawn having a nightmare since she came to him.

And he kept saying. “Don’t go. Don’t go Did he mean he didnt want to go somewhere?

Chapter 168

When Naomi was still pondering. Shawn came out of the bathroom. He recovered in a short time

Taking advantage of this time, Naomi quickly came back to hersenses and changed a new pillow for him. Looking at Shawn’s bedsheet, which was also soaked, Naomi simply changed the sheet and quilt

“Don’t change it. Let’s sleep in your room on the second floor, Shawn stepped forward and grabbed her hand. “Let Carla do it tomorrow.”

“It doesn’t matter. I’m almost done,” Naomi said and soon finished making the whole bed.

Shawn frowned and went back to bed without saying anything

Naomi hugged Shawn and asked, “Shawn, did you have a nightmare?”

Shawn didn’t say anything but took a deep breath.

As soon as he closed his eyes, the scene where the car was knocked out, turned over in the air, and finally fell beavily into the turbulent river came into his mind.

Barbara sent countless people to search, mobilized numerous rescue teams, and the salvage teams went down to the water one after another, but

there was no news.

If only, if only he could stop them.

His eighth birthday became the anniversary of his parents‘ death.

Later, he grew older and knew that the car accident was not simple. He managed to find out who was behind it, but when he was looking for the last key piece of evidence, Barbara made a move.

Shawn held Naomi in his arms tightly and breathed harder. He rubbed her shoulder again and again, but there was no lust in his eyes

“Shawn, you can talk to me if you want, Naomi said in a low voice. “I don’t know if I can help you, but I can listen. If you speak it out, you will feel better.”

“No, it’s nothing serious” Shawn hugged her and said in a low and hoarse voice, “Go to sleep!”

“Okay,” said Naomi.

But in the following time, neither of them could fall asleep.

After a while, Naomi said gently, ‘Shawn, are you asleep??

Shawn answered, “No. What’s wrong!”

Seeing that he couldn’t fall asleep, Naomi simply nestled in his arms and chatted casually with him. “Do you want to hear what happened when I was a child at the orphanage?”

Shawn didn’t say anything.

Naomi continued, “Before I was ten years old, the condition of Safe Harbor Children’s Home was very poor. There was only Vera and another lady.

“Before I was ten years old, I rarely had a good meal. Later, Javier and Victoria came to the orphanage to find me. Vera told me that my parents had come to me. In the future, I would follow them home and live a good life.

“I thought I could have a good meal Naomi said calmly as if she was telling someone else’s story. “But I didn’t expect that the first thing they did after taking me away from the orphanage was to take me to the hospital for an examination and then give Rosalind a blood transfusion.

“Shawn, you know what? I was very scared at that time. The doctor said I was too young to have a blood transfusion, but I still remember how Javier and Victoria threatened the doctor.

They coaxed me first and then stared me. In order not to go back to the orphanage and have a good meal, I cried and asked the doctor to draw my blood.

Thadn’t told Vera that there was bullying in the orphanage

Naomi leaned her head against Shawn’s chest and hugged him tightly, greedily gaining a sense of security.

She continued. “When I was six years old, other children in the orphanage began to bully me. They beat me at midnight. If I didn’t give them food during the day, they would pee on my bed after Vera rested at night. They pulled my hair, slapped me in the face, and pinched my arms and

thighs.”

Naomi choked with sobs and hugged Shawn harder. “Then I went to the Edwards manor. Javier and Victoria also treated me badly, but in order to keep me for Rosalind’s blood transfusion, as long as I didn’t make mistakes, they wouldn’t bear me often.”

Chapter 108

They didn’t beat her often, but when the two of them were not happy, they would still beat her to vent their anger

“I didn’t have enough to eat at the orphanage. When I was in the Edwards manor, I couldn’t eat with them, and most of the time I are leftovers. Sometimes I even ate with maids. Maybe it was not as good as maids, but at least I could be full”

Shawn held her in his arms and felt suffocating

Naomi said, “Shawn, you know what? I’ve thought countless times that if only I hadn’t been born”

Naomi’s tears fell silently into Shawn’s pajamas, wetting his chest. “Since they didn’t want me, why did they give birth to me?

“A girl’s life is also valuable, isn’t Br

Shawn hugged her and gently patted her on the back. He had seen Naomi’s profile long ago, but it was completely different from hearing her say it in person.

What was more, there were some small details that Chandler didn’t investigate.

Naomi said, “Shawn, I know you have a secret. Just like me, I never told anyone about my past in the orphanage. I was scared of hunger, so when it comes to food, I am not picky about what I eat. I want to be full

I’m also quite afraid of being beaten and bullied, so when I was saved by you, I made up my mind to ride your coattails.

“The past in the orphanage was nothing compared to the days after she was given to that man by the Edwards family and Freddy

But she couldn’t tell Shawn about the rebirth thing, so she picked a way to say it

Shawn had his emotional pain, so she wouldn’t ask him directly. Instead, she told him her secret.

Naomi said, “Shawn, I’m actually scared

Tm desperate to make money. I just want to be able to decide for myself “

Naomi looked up as him. “Do you think I’m despicable

Shawn’s throat tightened. He just held her tightly and sabi, “No.”

“I didn’t dare to sleep for some time. Naomi hugged him. 5 didn’t fall asleep peacefully until I met you later.”
