HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 989

Naomi could no longer hold back her emotions. Tears slowly streamed down her cheeks. She gently shook her head with a smile, trying to steady her trembling voice.

"Thank you."

One by one, the members of the Devereux family approached her. Some gave her shoulder a warm pat, some took her hand, while others simply nodded and expressed their gratitude that she had returned. Strangely, not a single person asked how she had been held captive. No one mentioned Silas. No one brought up the horrifying nights that had nearly claimed her life.

It was as though the entire family had reached an unspoken agreement.

The past would remain in the past.

Chris then pulled a chair closer to the sofa and carefully helped Naomi sit down. "The doctor said you still need plenty of rest," he said softly.

Naomi nodded as she wiped away the remaining tears on her cheeks.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Cale, who had been standing beside Lydia the whole time, watched everything for a few seconds before clearing his throat softly.

"All right," he said, looking around the room. "Now that everyone's finished making Naomi cry again."

Several people immediately let out soft chuckles.

"Now it's time to show the real reason you all came."

His words instantly lightened the mood.

Mr. Adam, one of the Devereux family's elders, was the first to stand, carrying a medium-sized wooden box. Traditional carvings decorated its surface, and a subtle herbal fragrance began to fill the air as he set the box on the table.

"This isn't an extravagant gift," he said with a gentle smile. "Just some herbal remedies that have been passed down through our family for generations. I hope your body recovers quickly and your strength returns soon."

Naomi accepted it with both hands. "Thank you, Mr. Adam."

Before she could set the box aside, Mr. Dean stepped forward carrying a brown paper bag.
