Chapter 36
Valerie was also being pressured by her family, nearly marrying a man in his thirties who was
divorced, so she could fully understand Katherine’s refusal to marry. And from the current situation,
Caleb was indeed quite good to Katherine. So, Valerie thought Katherine and Caleb could take their
own course.
“You know what, sometimes I think you’re very nice, just like my sister. No one understands me but
only you do,” Katherine hugged Valerie’s arm and said in a cute way.
Valerie smiled. “You can treat me like your sister.”
When Matthew came back, Katherine was gone and Valerie had showered, and was sitting on the
couch squirming as she applied medicine to herself. When she saw Matthew return, she
subconsciously tried to gather up the medications scattered all over the table. “Mr. Grant, sorry. I’ll
clean it up in a minute.”
Matthew frowned and simply stepped forward, sping her wrist. “You’re afraid of me?”
For some reason, although he was already used to others being afraid of him, just like her friend
who was so scared and guarded against him as if he was a bad guy just now, watching her being
afraid of him like others now made him feel bad inside. He actually appreciated the fact that she
dared to look into his eyes every time she spoke.
Valerie felt her cheeks get a little hot and shook her head. “No, Mr. Grant. Could you let go of me
first?”
Actually, Matthew misunderstood her. She just felt embarrassed. When they were outside earlier,
she hadn’t felt embarrassed because someone else was present, but now that she had just taken aThis content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .
shower, she couldn’t help but think aboutst night’s incident as soon as she saw him, making her
instantly feel awkward.
“If you’re not afraid of me, what’s there to hide?” Matthew’s eyes nced over her elbow and simply
took the swab stick from her right hand, only to see her still standing stiffly in ce. He couldn’t help
but lower his voice. “Sit down.”
His words had the power of amand, and Valerie froze before realizing he was nning to apply
medicine to her wound. Without thinking, her body had involuntarily and obediently sat down.
“Raise your hand.” Matthew’s words were simple but powerful.
Valerie raised her arm, and Matthew’s brow furrowed. He saw a thin patch of small cuts on her arm,
interspersed with two deep incisions, but that wasn’t the worst of it. The worst was that her wound
was clearly rinsed with water, and blood gradually seeped out from the wound.
Does she have anymon sense at all? She shouldn’t even get water on a wound like this until
it’s healed.‘ Matthew was angry. “You’re injured like this and you’re taking a shower directly?”
Valerie was startled by his low, deep tone and hesitated for a moment before whispering, “I forgot.”
She’d been chatting with Katherine so much that she’d forgotten she had wounds on her arm. She’d
taken a shower straight after walking Katherine away, and only remembered about the wounds
halfway through the shower when she felt the pain in her arm.
Matthew was speechless at her answer. ‘She looks pretty smart, but howe she’s so stupid in
her actions?‘
Matthew angrily dipped some potion to wipe her wound and asked her, “How did it hurt?”
Although Valerie was a bit embarrassed. Seeing that Matthew was really serious about applying the
medicine to her, a smile appeared on her face again. She thought secretly, ‘Although he always
looks cold, he is indeed a warm–hearted and good person.
She told him about the morning when she saved the olddy. “The olddy is so poor. Her family
doesn’t pay any attention to her and they actually just let her out there alone. It’s really
irresponsible. What if that car really hit her? It would be toote for them to regret it.”
“Indeed, this kind of offspring is not very responsible.” Matthew frowned. His grandmother was old
too and he was very contemptuous of those ungrateful descendants who didn’t disregard the
elderly.
