Chapter 320
As if dealing with the person taking her photo, she could only tolerate their childish behavior. Warmth overflowed in Charles' smile. He clicked 'save' once again, storing this photo in the album. Finally, he tapped the video.
At that moment, his features softened. In the video, Naomi sat at a small table by the window, with a breakfast he sent, showcasing local specialties from San Angelino.
She arranged everything neatly, sitting upright in the chair, back straight. With chopsticks in hand, she ate breakfast with small, meticulous bites. Quiet and refined, her lips moved as she chewed, occasionally glancing at the sunshine outside. Sometimes a gentle breeze would blow in, tousling the stray strands of hair near her temples, which she would delicately tuck behind her ear.
Everything appeared natural and ordinary, yet in his eyes, it was as if he beheld the most beautiful scene in the world, making him reluctant to look away. He wanted to keep watching forever.
Inside the hospital room, Amelia leaned against the bedside, scrolling through her phone, reading the messages she sent to Charles. After sending the messages, Charles did not reply. She knew he already went to her social media feed to view the photos and videos of Naomi.
Feeling triumphant, she was confident that Charles would be more captivated after seeing them. She wanted him to know how wonderful Naomi was. Moreover, she wanted everyone else to know that even after the divorce, Naomi continued to thrive.
This was why Amelia did not send the photos and videos directly to Charles but shared them on her social media. Naomi did not use social media, so she remained unaware of what others might be saying about her. However, Amelia knew.
Divorce was not a glamorous affair, and even if others did not voice it openly, there would be whispers behind closed doors. She aimed to tell everyone that Naomi was exceptional and deserving of happiness even after parting ways.
Naomi returned after washing the thermos, only to find Amelia holding her phone, smiling happily. She wondered what delightful thing her friend did, but seeing Amelia's smile also brought joy to Naomi. She hoped her friend could be happy, forever wearing that carefree smile. Placing the thermos on the table, she took a tissue, wiped the water off the thermos, and then put it in the bag.
Amelia heard the commotion and looked over, asking, "Is it cleaned?"
"Yeah, all done," Naomi replied with a warm

Thinking about Charles, Naomi checked the sky outside.

It was already bright, it should be around eight or nine o'clock. She took out her phone to check the time and realized there was something else she needed to do - make a phone call.
As she took out her phone, she discovered it had no battery. Remembering that her phone almost died last night after reaching San Angelino, she forgot about it when she got to the hospital engrossed in thoughts about Amelia.
Naomi said, "Amelia, do you have a charger?"
Amelia was a bit obsessed with capturing Naomi's moments. As Naomi returned, wiping the thermos, Amelia resumed capturing the scene.
Hearing Naomi's question, she paused, then turned her head, saying, "Yes, in the drawer."
"Your phone is out of battery?" Amelia looked at Naomi's phone, and Naomi nodded with a smile.
"Yeah, I forgot to charge it last night." Naomi walked over, plugged in her phone to charge, and then turned it on.
Amelia asked, "By the way, coming to my place all of a sudden, is it okay for your work?"
