Chapter 1274


    After saying that, I opened the lunch box and started eating.


    Matthew sat down beside me without a word. It was only until I had finished my food did he say, "Now that we''re done with the checks, you should go


    back and catch up on sleep. Don''t stay upte in the future or it''ll be bad for your skin and health.”


    I nodded. "I know.”


    Matthew pursed his lips and asked a little hesitantly, "Did you and Theo quarrel?”


    I stopped drinking water for a moment, then took a sip and said with a smile, "It''s normal for couples to fight. We''ll be fine after a few days." "Why did


    you fight?’ I screwed on the mineral water bottle cap and asked tly, "Are you trying to be a counselor?" "How can I?"


    Matthewughed. "I just noticed you''re in a bad mood and want to ask what''s going on. I want tofort you."


    "Couples usually quarrel about the mest insignificant things.”


    I changed the subject. "It''s going to be Regata Storica soon. Are you going back to Whaldorf City too?”


    Matthew nodded. "I''m going back. Why?"


    "Nothing. Just asking.”


    We did not say anything else after that


    It was a sunny day with a cloudless sky. The sun felt warm on the skin.


    Matthew told me to take a nap in the office, but I wanted to go home and take a nap. Hence, I nned to take in the sun outside for a while.


    Gradually, my stomach started hurting.


    Matthew noticed me clutching my stomach and asked a little nervously, "Does your stomach hurt?”


    I nodded. "I may have caught a cold. It''s no big deal."


    "If you don''t feel well, then go to the hospital and get it checked."


    Matthew got up and said, "Let''s go. I''ll take you to the hospital.”


    "Forget it.”


    I did a mental calction. My period must be approaching, and that was why it hurt.


    Matthew furrowed his brows and grabbed my arm, wanting to take me to the hospital by force.


    I was just about to refuse when I noticed the shed ceiling above his head move. A bad feeling surged in my heart.


    When I realized what was going on, Matthew sensed danger as well and dragged me up from the chair. We rushed out of the shed.


    My stomach was hurting even more now. After running two steps, I was already covered in a cold sweat.


    Seeing that the shed was about to crash, I shook Matthew''s hand off and shouted anxiously, “Run! Don''t worry about me.”


    With my running speed, I could never run out of the shed in time. However, Matthew could. I must not drag him down.


    However, Matthew did not want to leave


    me behind.


    He grabbed my arm again and yanked me into his arms.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Then, the shed crashed down.


    The huge impact crashed both of us to the ground. Matthew''s muffled grunt entered my ears.


    I did not feel any pain because Matthew had taken the hit for me.


    I cried out to him in a trembling voice, "Are you okay, Matthew?"


    “Don''t worry, I''m fine." His voice was very weak. “Someone wille and save us very soon. Are you hurt?"


    "I''m not hurt at all.” I wanted to cry.


    "d to hear that."


    I felt a deep sense of fear, and my body


    would not stop trembling


    Perhaps it was my instinct as a woman, I knew that Matthew was not okay.


    I heard someone screaming. Someone was here to save us.


    I felt warmth on my stomach. Sensing something, I asked with great fear, “Are you hurt anywhere, Matthew?"


    "I''m okay." His voice sounded even weaker than before as though he was trying hard not to fall asleep


    "Can anyone hear me?” I was extremely anxious and screamed frantically," Someone, save us!"


    "They''re here.”


    My screams helped the guys locate us. I heard a lot of people running in our direction.


    I spoke to Matthew, but he made no reply this time


    Sensing more and more liquid on my tummy, I cried out in fear, "Please don’t sleep, Matthew. I''m scared. Can you talk to me?"


    "We''ll start the rescue operation right now, Ms. Lane. Hold on.” Someone outsideforted me.


    “Hurry up and save him." I was already inconsble


    Unsure how long it had been, I finally saw the sunlight.


    Theo bent his body and shielded me underneath him.


    Krayden and another employee tried to lift Matthew, but when they touched his body, they both retracted their hands at the same time.


    "Don''t touch him first. How long before the ambnce arrives?"


    Clearly, Matthew was in a bad condition.


    My body was stiff, and my breathing becameborious.


    When the ambnce arrived, the paramedics lifted Matthew into the ambnce.


    Krayden helped me up. Looking at the blood on my body and on the ground, my mind turned nk. I was too stunned to speak


    I did not even know how I got to the hospital.


    It was quiet alkaround. I sat on a


    chair in fronttef the emergency room


    and watched as doctors and nurses


    walked it iand out. I really wanted:to


    stop them and ask about Matthew''s


    condition, but I was so weak tc could


    notmove at all. Content beléngs ike)


    4


    Someone came to take me somewhere, but I refused to.


    That person gave up. I sat there without moving until the emergency room’s light turned off. I could not sit straight anymore as if I had lost my


    strength.


    The emergency room door opened. The doctor walked out and removed his face mask.


    I braced myself and stood up, wanting to ask about Matthew’s condition only to realize that I was stuttering. I could not form aplete sentence.


    The doctor looked at me and frowned a little. "Are you okay?”


    I shook my head. "W-Why isn''t :


    h-he..." The doctor looked behind: ~


    me. "Take her to the surgical ~


    department and psychiatry fora


    cheek’ up. She''s in a very bad’state


    right now.”


    “


    I looked down and found myself covered in blood. My white blouse was stained with blood, which looked extremely frightening.


    I turned around and found Keith and two other bodyguards standing behind me. I did not know when they had arrived


    Keith nodded to the doctor and looked at me, saying, "Mr. Zimmer is fine now, Mrs. Grant. Can youe with me to get yourself checked?”


    Hearing that Matthew was fine, my nerves rxedpletely and I passed out.


    When I woke up, I was already lying on the hospital bed.


    The nurse was administering an IV


    drip to me, saying while she did so,


    The patientwas overly frightened.


    She only dost consciousness ?


    because her nerves suddenly ~~


    rxed) after overstressing them.


    An ndcoupled with her periodgShe’ s


    now very weak. She should be fine


    after the drip and after she eats


    something."


    Obviously, she was not talking to me. There were others in the ward


    My eyes searched the ward, and I saw Theo and Keith


    The nurse left after administering the IV drip for me.


    When Theo saw that I was awake, there was not much of an expression on his face. He quickly shifted his gaze away.
