Chapter 14: Punishment for insult


    "Anne, did you do that on purpose?"


    Matthew lifted his head as he looked at Anne, his sure tone of voice surface he had guessed


    everything.


    Anne faced Matthew''s eyes that knew everything, she was a little weak, but she didn''t have any fear,


    she knew Matthew wouldn''t do anything bad to her.


    "Matthew, how could I have done it on purpose? You know, since I lost any sensation in my legs to


    save you a few years ago. The doctor also said that my hands have not fully recovered yet either, that''s


    why I didn''t have the strength to hold this cup of coffee just now, I didn''t do it on purpose. Does this


    woman hold a very important ce in your heart? So important that you have begun to have doubts


    about your fiancée?"


    Anne''s expression was very cold, making him unable to see any emotion.


    "Lily, take me back to my room, I don''t want to stay here to be annoying." Anne instructed Lily, the maid


    who had been taking care of her, to have Lily push her wheelchair and escort her out of the living room.


    "Go to your room." Matthew''s icy voice rang out and was apanied by amanding presence


    that made people obey.


    Lauren froze, the pain in her hand making her temporarily forget to react in any way, and her reaction


    to this filled Matthew''s face with helplessness.


    He stood up, took Lauren''s wrist and walked towards his room. Although his action was rude, he was


    careful to avoid the blood blisters on the back of Lauren''s hand.


    "Why don''t you duck?"


    He went back to his room and he pushed Lauren straight down on the big bed as he questioned


    seriously.


    "I could have ducked this time, but what about next time? The next time I may be punished more


    severely. If there will be greater painter, you might as well give up your resistance now."


    Lauren''s tone was very calm, and her face was devoid of any expression.


    "Do you mean to say that you deliberately did not dodge away today?"


    Lauren''s words caused Yin Matthew''s face to change dramatically. He stared at her with icy eyes, then


    his fingers suddenly pressed towards the blood bubble on the back of Lauren''s hand.


    ''''Ahh''''


    Lauren let out a scream from the pain.


    "You know it hurts? I''ll make you hurt more next."


    Lauren''s attitude of not dodging caused the anger Matthew had been suppressing to ignite instantly.


    His eyes were filled with anger and his powerful aura made her feel a sense of oppression.


    He hooked Lauren''s chin with his hand and forced her to look at him. She was forced to look into


    Matthew''s murderous eyes, her eyes shed with sadness, clear tears who ran down the corners of


    her eyes.


    The blood on the back of her hand kept dripping down onto the white sheets, forming kes of blood on


    top of the sheets. But Matthew''s eyes did not have any heartache and pity. His eyes became even


    colder.


    Lauren forced herself to forget the pain on the back of her hand as she tried to squeeze out a smile.


    "Matthew, when you decided to let mee to the vi to take care of that woman, I was already ready


    to be punished. Why do you need to be so angry?"


    The calmness on Lauren''s face made Matthew''s anger more apparent, his face''s appeared without a


    warm smile, his eyes turned deeper.


    "Take off, take off your clothes."


    "I don''t ......"


    Lauren shook her head, but her action made Matthew even more cruel. Matthew''s hand on her chin


    increased in strength, making Lauren feel as if her chin was about to be crushed.


    Unlike Anne''s treatment, Matthew''s cruelty filled Lauren''s heart with coldness, leaving her with a feeling


    of pain that made her unable to breathe. The corners of her mouth curved out in a cold arc.


    With a ''hiss'', Matthew ripped the clothes off Lauren''s body with one hand. The coolness on her body


    made Lauren notice her situation, she kept waving her hands, she struggled, her legs kept kicking at


    Matthew''s body.


    His strong body was instantly on top of Lauren''s, and the corners of Lauren''s mouth lifted in another


    helpless smile.


    "Matthew, does it make your heart happy and joyful to treat me cruelly? Would it make you feel rxed


    to have your mark on me? Matthew, is it only when I die that you will give up all the hatred in your heart


    and spare my mother?"


    "Die?"


    Matthew suddenlyughed out loud.


    "Do you think you have a chance to die? Lauren, let me tell you, even if you die, I will make your


    mother worse than life and death, if you choose to die, I will immediately make your mother worse than


    life and death. And I will treat her twice as badly and make her pay a cruel price for what she once did."


    His long, slender hands gently trailed down to Lauren''s slender neck.


    "Want to die? I''ll give you a taste of what it''s like when deathes first." A devilish smile lifted


    Matthew''s face.


    His face smiled, but his hands tightened around Lauren''s neck and slowly increased the force.


    The choking sensation made Lauren put her hands between her and Matthew. She tried to push him


    away with all her strength, but Matthew''s hands were getting harder and harder.


    "Let go ..... Let go ......"


    The feeling of suffocation made Lauren have some difficulty in breathing. The thin air made her really


    feel the approaching death.


    "Feel the feeling of death and forgetting? Don''t worry, I won''t let you die right away, I''m going to make


    you struggle to the edge of death and make your life worse than death."


    Matthew violently let go of his hand. The fresh air made Lauren keep breathing heavily. It took a


    moment for blood toe to her pale face.


    Her beautiful eyes were now filled with despair.


    "Apply the medicine and don''t let me see a scar on your body, or I''ll make your mother''s body have one


    more scar, too."


    A pang of fear came over Lauren, it was as if she was seeing the devil, her eyes widened and she


    looked at Matthew in horror.


    "Remember what I said, prepare dinner for me tonight, I want to have a Chinese dinner."


    "Chinese dinner?" Lauren fought back the pain in the back of her hand and struggled to get up from the

    bed.


    "You know I hurt my hand? And you want to have a Chinese dinner? You know there''s a lot of Chinese


    dinner that requires the use of a knife."


    A wry smile appeared at the corner of Matthew''s mouth.


    "This is my punishment for you." His voice was very calm but it made her feel very scared. After he


    finished he turned and walked out of the room, leaving a tearful Lauren, sitting frozen on the floor.
