Chapter 330
"Wanda!" Matthew heard the door open. He ran out of the bedroom with an anxious face. "Where
have you been?"
I pursed my lips tight and did not answer him.
He came over and hugged me. "After I finished handling my work, I came back and realized that
you weren''t home. I was worried sick. I called you but you didn''t bring your phone with you. I
thought you, I thought you..."

He did not say the rest of the sentence, but I knew what he wanted to say.
"I''m sorry for making you worried." My voice was slightly sour.
Matthew let go of me. That was when I realized his eyes were slightly red. "Wanda, I''m the one
who’s supposed to apologize. I shouldn''t have left you alone. I promise I won''t do that next time."
I looked at him with a nk expression. This was the first time I realized his feelings for me had
changed.
"Why did you go out alone in the middle of the night?" Matthew asked me worriedly.
"There was thunder and I was afraid to be alone. I was hallucinating, so I ran out. When I came
back to my
senses, I hurried back here." I did not mention Theo.
I refused to mention him, and I was unwilling to.
Matthew let out a long sigh of relief. He embraced me once again. "Thank God you''re alright.
Otherwise, I would never be able to forgive myself. Don''t worry, I won''t leave you alone in the
future.”
I struggled a little in his arms.
Matthew realized that and let go of me. Then, he carried me to the sofa. "I''m going to get the first
aid kit."
I could not help but be amazed by how attentive he was. I did not expect him to find out so quickly
that m y feet were abraded.
Matthew carried the first aid kit over. He took my feet and put them on hisp. Then, he dressed the
wounds on my feet. He was doing it very gently.
I stared at him, and my heart was thrown into turmoil.
I knew long ago I should not get too deeply involved with Matthew. It was just that during this time of
darkness, I was greedy for the warmth that others gave to me-even if it was just a little. Otherwise, I
was afraid I could not get through this alone.
"Matthew..." I should not be that selfish anymore. I should not continue to hurt him. "I appreciate you
taking care of me all this time. But I can''t continue to trouble you anymore.” "What do you mean?"
Matthew''s hand that was dressing my wounds paused. He looked at me with an unhappy
expression.
I pursed my lips and said, "We should keep a distance from each other. I''m a married woman, after
all. If there are rumors going on about something happening between the two of us, it''ll be
troublesome for the Zimmer and Grant families."
I did not want to cause him any trouble, so I had to be straightforward and say these words.
Matthew remained silent for some time. After a while, he continued to dress the wounds on my feet.
After he finished dressing the wounds, he put the things back i n the first aid kit and said cidly, "If
you''re worried about this, I can keep my distance from you. But with one condition. There must be
someone beside you to keep youpany. Otherwise, I won''t let you live alone."
"I''ll take good care of myself," I replied hurriedly.
"Do you really think you can take good care of yourself?" It was as if Matthew’s eyes were able to
see through everything. I lowered my gaze. I could not confidently say that I could take good care of
myself.
Matthew stood up and walked in front of me. He bent down a little. "I''ll not regret it once I''ve set my
mind. And I never do things halfway.”
His words were too vague, and I gave him a confused look.
Matthew had no intention to exin himself. He just smiled faintly. "Stop overthinking. I’m part of the
Zimmer family. I''d naturally avoid getting into trouble." 2
