The Woman From Hell

Chapter 1275

My mind was full of the image of Matthew covered in blood. | did not care that Theo and | were still at odds. |

asked a little anxiously, “How's Matthew?"

Theo's slightly good-natured face was instantly dark after what | said

His eyes were encased in ice that could not be melted, and even his voice was icy.” You're really worried about

him, huh?" I ignored his sarcastic remark and asked again, “Which ward is he in? Is someone there to take care

of him?"

"You!"

Theo's gaze was even more terrifying now. He did not know what to say.

He looked deeply atbefore leaving the ward

His gaze was filled with disappointment, and there seemed to be hints of absurdity too.

| knew he was angry, but even if | knew he was going to get angry, I still had to ask. How could | not ask

anything when Matthew was hurt so badly trying to save me?

As he refused to tellMatthew's condition, | grew very worried. Ignoring the fact that | was still on an IV drip, |

got up and was ready to pull out the needle and go see Matthew.

At this moment, someone approached the ward. Keith saw that | was going to pull out the needle and quickly

dashed over to stop me. “You're very weak right now. Mrs. Grant. You must finish this IV drip.

| pursed my lips. "Can you see how Matthew is doing for me, then? I'm really worried. Also, is there anyone there

to take care of him? If not, can you hire a caregiver for him?”

Keith sighed and said a little helplessly,” Mrs. Grant, are you actually clueless, or are you pretending to be

clueless? Mr. Zimmer got hurt trying to protect you. How could Mr. Grant not help him?

"You're Mr. Grant's wife, and he loves you very much. He rushed over the first instant he learned about your

accident and made arrangements to hangle everything. You were covered in blood and sat in front of the

emergency room, anxious for another man. You took no notice of anyone around you. You didn't even hear Mr.

Grant when he talked to you

"When you passed out, he was so worried about you that even a grown man like him cried. He knew you were

worried about Mr. Zimmer, so he found the best doctor in the city to operate on him. When you asked about Mr.

Zimmer the first thing you woke up, even though he knows that it's normal for you to behave like that after Mr.

Zimmer saved you, Mr. Grant is still very heartbroken by it. After all, he’s your husband.

"Mrs. Grant, no matter how tough Mr. Grant is, he’s still very fragile in front of his loved ones. When he saw how

lost you were because of another man. how can he not feel hurt?

Keith was a man of few words just like Theo. Now that he had said so much to me, it was obvious that he felt

genuinely sorry for Theo. | looked at him in a daze, not knowing what to say.

Keith sighed again. "Mr. Zimmer is not in any danger anymore, Mrs. Grant. But he'll only wake up after the

effects of the anesthetic wear off. There are doctors and nurses around him. You really don't have to worry. What

you need now is plenty of rest to recover."

He helpedto lie back down on the bed after saying that. | replayed our conversation in my head and felt a

little bad. | had indeed failed to notice Theo's feelings on this matter.

When the IV drip was done, the nurse cto remove the needle. After asking her whether | could get out of

bed and walk around, | planned to go see Matthew.

When the nurse broughtthere, Matthew was still not awake. His head was wrapped in thick bandages. It

turned out that he had a head injury too. | looked at the nurse and asked, "How are his injuries?”

"The doctor said that he'd sustained a head injury and suffered a concussion. We'll only know the side effects

after he wakes up. His left rib was pierced by a steel pipe, and although it didn’t hurt any vital organs, the injury

is serious enough. His other injuries aren't very serious. Such injuries require him to be hospitalized for a period

of time.”

His rib was pierced by a steel pipe. My heart quivered.

| was buried under, and Matthew's blood had flowed to my abdomen, which terrified

me. Where exactly was the wound and how serious was it to cause him to bleed so much? Knowing that it was

his rib that was pierced now. my eyes welled up in tears.

Just how much pain was he in at the time?

| sat down on the chair and looked at him with a complicated face.

If he had not shielded me, then | would be the one with a pierced rib now.

He saved my life twice and almost got himself killed this time.

Humans had feelings. How could | remain unmoved?

Knowing that | was notin good =~ health, the nurse advisedto go back. "You should go back ancrest now.

Ms. Lane. Someone willbe het® to take care of Mr. Zinimer.

Don't worry.”

| refused. ‘f'm fine now. | won't be ~~ able to rest with peace of mind ifr go back now, so | might as well Stay

here-You should go ahead and do your work. Don’t worry about me."

Seeing that | could not be persuaded, she did not try again.

"I'll go attend to my work now, Ms. Lane. | won't be too far away. Callif you need anything.” | nodded and

looked at her, asking, "What's your name?"

“You can callLaney, Ms. Lane.”

| smiled. "Okay."

When Laney left, | looked at Matthew and was lost in thoughts.

| would be lying if | said that | was not moved. | had been avoiding him all these years. Not only him but also

Theo and Tyler.

| would feel burdened if they were slightly nice to me. | felt | did not deserve their kindness, so | chose to hide.

| was too timid and cowardly, trying. to find evidence from the littlest < detailsthat they did not love me>1|

wastoo afraid to admit that [they loved me. .to 7

Therefore, | would often think that they were probably being nice tobecause | was of use. | refused to believe

that their love forwas pure. Subconsciously, | did not believe that | deserved to be loved.

However, no matter how | tried to avoid it, they would prove tothat they lovedwith actual action time

and again.

| did not know if | was the only one like that or if all women were the same

In fact, | had always known the answer to this question.

Whether it was Shannon or Cassey or other ladies | knew, none of them had the sthoughts as me. | was the

strange one.

A psychiatrist once toldthat | was so concerned about my parents abandoningthat I always thought that

no one would chooseor love me. It was okay if | did not yearn for it because once | started yearning for it, |

would start acting strange.

| stayed with Matthew for a night, during which Laney cin and persuadedto go back to my ward to rest.

However, | still refused

She could not force me, so she had no choice but te leave.

In the morning, the sun shone into the ward. Matthew woke up.

When he opened his eyes and saw that | was unscathed, he was overjoyed. "I'm so glad you're okay.”
