Chapter 12

“This is all your fault,” Kelsey’s husband, Owen, yelled at Naomi as soon as he saw her in the hospital corridor.

Naomi was so taken aback, she could only stand there in shocked disbelief. She’d just left Kelsey’s side and was stepping outside to handle some Brooks and Johnson business when Owen attacked.

“You’re the reason Kelsey’s in there.” He pointed to the hospital room behind him.

“Listen, Owen, I know you’re upset.”

“Upset?” His voice rose. “I’m furious. Kelsey had no business being at the office. You and I both know that the doctor told her to take it easy with this pregnancy after her two miscarriages and difficult pregnancy with Bella, but you just couldn’t let it rest, could you?” He circled around her, letting all of his anger and rage out on her.

Naomi was strong enough to take it, because she knew she’d done nothing wrong. She hadn’t asked Kelsey to come to the office. In fact, she’d advised her to leave, but Kelsey had a mind of her own and was going to do what she wanted to. But Naomi wasn’t about to tell Owen that—not when he was enraged.

“You had to get her all riled up when you reminisced about the past and how you both started the business. But things have changed, Naomi. It isn’t just you and Kelsey against the world anymore. Kelsey is a wife. She has a family and husband and people who need her. I know that might be hard for you to understand since you’ve always been alone, but—”

Owen never got to finish his sentence, because Lucius stepped in between them.

“Now wait just a darn minute,” Lucius said, facing the red-faced man who’d been bullying Naomi when he arrived on the maternity floor. He’d expected they’d be pulling together in a time of crisis, but instead the man was unleashing his hurt on Naomi. It wasn’t fair. But she was just standing there, taking it. It made him respect her even more, because she refused to kick a man when he was down. “This isn’t Naomi’s fault.”

“Isn’t it? She’s the reason my wife was in the lab because she was afraid to let go and allow Kelsey to sell her shares.”

“Naomi is not responsible for Kelsey’s condition. Now what you need to do is calm down and then go in there—” he pointed to the door “—and be with your wife.”

Owen huffed but didn’t speak another ill word to Naomi as he entered his wife’s room.

Lucius pulled Naomi aside and touched her arm. “Are you okay?” He searched her eyes for a sign that Owen had upset her.

“Y-yes, I’m fine.” She stared back at him. “But you, what are you doing here? How did you know?”

Lucius wasn’t about to tell Naomi that Adam was speaking with the Johnsons on his behalf. “I called your office and asked for you. Sophie told me you were in the hospital.”

Naomi nodded, accepting his answer. “Well, thank you for that.” She glanced at the door Owen had just disappeared behind.
