Boomerang Love

"Balley, it smells amazing! I love you to death," Ronald exclaimed as soon as he stepped into the house and caught a whiff of Bailey's soup.

Balley saw Ronald lunging toward her and kicked him away. "Get lost. Don't even think about it."

Hearing Bailey's rejection, Ronald turned to Naomi with a pitiful look.

"Naomi, can you believe this? She's so heartless. I've been working hard these past few days and even drove for hours to come back. But she won't even pity me."

Upon hearing Ronald's complaint, Naomi took off her coat slowly. Then, she rolled up her sleeves and cracked her knuckles.

"Maybe I can offer you some 'comfort"."

Ronald turned pale. "No, it's okay."

After chatting with Bailey and Ronald, Naomi went to her room to take a shower, When she came out, she saw Ronald was done with his shower and lying on the couch in pajamas while Bailey was giving him a massage.

The three of them looked just like they did when they were in school.

After a while, as they sat down to eat, Ronald told Bailey about Brendan returning to Ashburgh overnight. Bailey was red with anger by the end of Ronald's retelling.

She slammed her hand on the table. "Naomi, I know it's normal to have conflict in a relationship. But Brendan is not worth it! I think you should call it off."

Ronald chimed in, "Exactly! There's plenty of fish in the sea. Why cling to Brendan? He doesn't even appreciate you. He's not worthy of you."Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

At the same time, Brendan was in the hospital. He stood with his hands in his pockets. While he watched Caleb, who had just returned to the ward, he suddenly sneezed.

Brendan tossed the tissue into the trash can and calmly shrugged. "Caleb is young, so he'll recover quickly. As long as he eats healthy, it won't affect his growth."

"Got it!" Chloe nodded, then turned to Caleb, who lay in the hospital bed. "Caleb, hurry up and thank Brendan."

*Thank you, Brendan. Caleb obediently followed Chloe's Instructions. "I'll listen to my sister and take good care of my injured foot. I won't cause her any trouble."

"Don't neglect your studies either. Jason will arrange a tutor for you tomorrow." Brendan nodded.

After Caleb thanked Brendan, Chloe turned to Brendan again. "Brendan, it's getting late. You should go back and get some rest!"

She added, "The weather is getting colder. I saw you sneezing earlier. Remember to put on thicker clothes."
