Chapter 118: The ravages of the ward
After sleeping for several hours, Lauren slowly opened her eyes.
After a brief nce around, Lauren could be sure that she was once again back in the ce that made
her sick.
However, Lauren''s heart was still a bit stunned when she saw Shen Ping''er lying in front of her bed.
"Shen Ping''er, why are you here?"
Lauren gently nudged Shen Ping''er
"Lauren, you''re awake? Great, aren''t you a little hungry, I asked Wang Ma to make some congee for
you."
Seeing Lauren open her eyes, Shen Ping''er''s face lifted up into a smile and hurriedly picked up the
insted lunch box beside her, poured out the fragrant porridge inside and ced it in front of Lauren.
"Why are you here and where is Matthew?"
Without the answer she wanted to get, even though her stomach was already making hungry noises,
she still didn''t have the heart to eat the porridge in front of her.
"It was me and Brother Matthew who took you to the hospital, you were passed out in the guest room,
but Brother Matthew had some business to take care of, so he went back first, but he said he would

intentioned lie
Lauren grunted and the corners of her mouth lifted in a cold smile without any temperature.
"Shen Ping''er, for you to send me to the hospital, I am really grateful, but you don''t need to lie to me,
that demon Matthew, how could hee over to see me and take care of me? Maybe right now he is
tangling with which woman in bed?"
Lauren''s words are full of sarcasm towards Matthew.
Shen Ping''er sighed softly, she knew there were too many misunderstandings between the two, which
could not be exined for a while.
"Sister Lauren, you''d better eat something, the doctor said you need to get more nutrition, just by taking
nutrition shots, you can''t give your body the necessary nutrition."
Shen Ping''er blew the porridge cold and put it by Lauren''s mouth.
"Shen Ping''er, are you really not jealous of Matthew and that woman named Ling Xue''er at all?"
In order to take care of her body, Lauren still ate the porridge that was brought to her mouth.
"Sister Lauren, you really misunderstand my rtionship with brother Matthew. Although brother
Matthew has many women, but I can assure you that I will never be his woman, and in my heart, I have
long had a beloved man."
When mentioning her beloved man, Shen Ping''er''s pink little face showed a shy expression.
"You''re really not Matthew''s girl?"
Shen Ping''er nodded.
"I just treat Brother Matthew as my big brother, and because I was really bored in a foreign country,
plus there were many people who knew me and made me lose my freedom, that''s why I came to
Brother Matthew''s ce for a swim. But it didn''t ur to me that it made sister Lauren misunderstand,
I''m sorry, sister Lauren."
The sincerity on Shen Ping''er''s face made Lauren believe her words.
Through chatting, Lauren truly fell in love with this simple girl.
"Sister Lauren, you just need a few more days of rest before you can go home, but what are your ns
for when you get home?"
Shen Ping''er asked Lauren worriedly.
Through the ss of the ward, Lauren could clearly see that there were several bodyguards standing
outside the ward.
"Appleseed, can you do me a favor?"
Lauren put all her hopes on Shen Ping''er. She believed that with Shen Ping''er''s rtionship with
Matthew, she would be able to help herself and not be chastised by Matthew.
"Sister Lauren, are you trying to get me to let you go? Leave Brother Matthew?"
The clever Shen Ping''er, guessed Lauren''s heart.
Lauren nodded impatiently and pulled Shen Ping''er''s hands with both of hers. The eyes were full of
expectation.
Shen Ping''er sighed softly.
"The bodyguards outside are not only responsible for monitoring you, but also for monitoring me. If I
have other ideas, I may not be able to appear in front of you next time. ."
All of Lauren''s hopes were dashed at once, and her body leaned back against the hospital bed in
dismay.
"Sister Lauren, I''m really sorry I can''t help you, but I''ll try my best to keep you from being tortured by
Matthew''s brother."
Lauren nodded her head. Although Shen Ping''er could not help herself, but Lauren was still grateful to
this girl who always took care of her.
"Looks like you guys had a good chat."
With the sound of a door opening, Matthew''s ice-cold voice rang in the ears of the two.
"Brother Matthew, are you done with your official business?"
Fearing that Lauren will be tortured by Matthew again. Shen Ping''er hurriedly put down the porridge in
her hand. Came to Matthew''s front, not letting him near Lauren.
"Appleseed, is this you standing by her side?"
Looking at Shen Ping''er, who had been blocking his own front and not allowing himself to get close to
Lauren, Matthew''s dark eyes, shed a touch of indifference.
"Brother Matthew, Sister Lauren''s fever has just gone down, and now her body is slightly better, so you
should stop torturing her, her body is too weak to withstand any punishment from you."
The pink little face was filled with prayer.
Matthew sighed softly, since the day he met Shen Ping''er, Matthew could not refuse any request from
this innocent girl.
"Apple, don''t worry, I''m not here to punish her today, I just want her to see one thing. I believe that after
she has seen it, her body will recover quickly."
"Are you telling the truth? Not trying to irritate Sister Lauren?"
Matthew''s huge change made Shen Ping''er''s small face full of foxes.
"I''m telling you the truth, if you don''t believe me, just give her the stuff directly, I guarantee she''ll be
happy after she reads it."
Shen Ping''er half-heartedly took what Matthew sent up, and then put it in Lauren''s hand.
"Sister Lauren, do you want to see it?"
Lauren stretched out her weak hands and opened the file. When he saw what was inside, a smile
finally appeared on the little face that had been sad.
"As long as you get well enough to attend the party with me in a week''s time, I promise to keep you
informed every day about the progress of the treatment your little one is receiving."
Matthew''s words were full of temptation, and Lauren, who was eager to know how her little one was
doing, epted his offer without any doubt.
"Appleseed, go back and get some rest, I''ll take care of her here."
Seeing that there was no more saber rattling between the two, Shen Ping''er left the ward with relief.
Shen Ping''er''s departure restored the room to an eerie atmosphere.
Matthew walks directly to Lauren''s face. Raising his right hand ......
Lauren closed her eyes in fear, fearing that her body, once again, would leave Matthew''s mark.
"Open your eyes, and I won''t hit you again."
Matthew''s right hand, gentlynding on Lauren''s already bandaged right ankle, was full of tenderness
in his tone.
The rare tenderness made Lauren''s heart even more uneasy and her little face was filled with rm.
"Matthew, what are you going to do again? You''d better kill me all at once, or in time, I''ll make sure you
get youreuppance."
Injured legs can not move, Lauren can only lean on the hospital bed. But a pair of phoenix eyes are still
full of stubbornness.
"Well, eat the fruit,"
For the sake of his n, Matthew patiently peeled an apple for Lauren.
Looking at the apple ced in her hand, Lauren''s phoenix eyes raised a wry smile.
"Matthew, do you think I would eat the fruit you peel? The sight of you only makes me sick."
Lauren put the apple in her hand in disgust and threw it hard on the ground.
"You ......"
Seeing the apple that rolled several times on the ground before stopping, Matthew''s face, turned
somewhat iron blue. Hands tightly clenched together. Above the bruises.
"What? Want to hit me again?"
Looking at Matthew''s hands clenched into fists, Lauren''s face, full of mockery.
For half a second, Matthew''s face was only slightly calmer, slowly releasing the hands that had been
clenched into fists and staring at Lauren with a smile.
"You should really be d that you have wounds on your body now, or I wouldn''t have let you go."
Despite the understatement, Lauren heard the warning in the words.
"Matthew, don''t you forget who caused the wounds on my body? You''re pretending to be nice to me
now, tell me, what are you up to again?"
Lauren will never believe in Matthew''s tenderness for her again. Time and again, the torture and pain
had made her forget Matthew''s goodness, and all she could think about was her hatred for him and his
cruelty to her.
"You''ll find out in a few days. I promise you it will be a surprise."
The corners of Matthew''s mouth, raised an intriguing arc.
"Matthew, what are you trying to do to me again?"
The evil smile at the corner of Matthew''s mouth gave Lauren an uneasy feeling, and it was getting
stronger.
Matthew closed in on Lauren, lifted her chin, and with cold lips, kissed Lauren directly on her overly
pale cherry lips.
Knowing that the wounds on her body would not allow her to move half as much, Matthew used only
one hand. Then he confined Lauren in his arms.
Although she wanted to resist and did not want to ept Matthew''s touch, the wound on her ankle
made Lauren unable to resist at all, and she could only nestle helplessly in Matthew''s arms and let him
ravage her cherry lips.
