Chapter 312
As he thought about how Naomi brought nothing with her for the trip, they wandered around Herland last night. After that, she hurriedly came to San Angelino. She had not even freshened up and needed to change her close-fitting clothes.
However, he could not go buy them himself. So, he roughly explained Naomi's situation to his mother's friend and asked if the store had any close-fitting women's clothing. The friend, understanding the situation, confirmed they did, and went to fetch them for him.
She presented several sets for him to choose from. Feeling embarrassed, he said, "Just pick whichever suits her best."
His mother's friend, a savvy businesswoman, could read people well. Seeing his demeanor, she selected an outfit and put it in a bag for him. He paid without lingering and went to a 24-hour convenience store to buy toiletries.
By the time he had everything and delivered it to the hospital, it was already seven o'clock, and she still did not wake up. He did not disturb her or linger. He just left after placing the items down, going upstairs to check on his grandmother.
The doctor arrived early, examined his grandmother, and everyone gathered, mostly waiting outside, leaving only one or two to enter.
Charles was in as well.
Half an hour later, the doctor emerged, and Charles followed suit.
At this point, everyone was watching the doctor, awaiting news about the old lady's condition. The doctor tucked his pen into the pocket of his white coat and addressed the group, "The situation with the old lady last night remained stable. However, due to her advanced age, we need to observe her for a few more days before transferring her to a regular ward once everything is settled."
Nolan nodded. "Alright."
The doctor provided some brief information about the follow-up, things to be cautious about, and the treatment plan. Everyone listened intently, gradually easing their anxieties. Overall, the old lady's condition seemed promising.
Once the doctor left, it was nearly eight o'clock. With the doctor's reassurance, everyone relaxed. Charles also let go of his worries. He checked the time on his phone, contemplating a visit to Naomi. He wanted to see if she awakened.
"Charles, when can we meet your girlfriend?" suddenly, the lively cousin asked.
In an instant, everyone's gaze shifted toward them.
Charles paused, his ears turning slightly red as he replied, "She's not my girlfriend yet."
By now, everyone was aware that
Charles had feelings for a girl, andet

They all wanted to meet the girl Charles liked.
Nolan looked at the faint
embarrassment on Charles's face, gently patting his shoulder and saying,
"Your grandmother oftennet
mentions it. Since we have the chance, bring her to let the old lady have a look."
In everyone's eyes, Naomi was already Charles's girlfriend.
With Nolan's words, the siblings and peers of Charles immediately clamored, "Yes, bring her to show us."
"Our Charles is so handsome and good; his girlfriend must be beautiful and outstanding!"
"Absolutely!"
With each remark, Charles's ears turned even redder.
"I'll go check on her. She didn't rest much last night. Once she's rested, I'll bring her here."
Everyone exclaimed, "Hurry, go! What are you waiting for?"
"That's right, go quickly. We can't wait!"
They pushed Charles into the elevator, and soon the doors closed.
