Chapter 1245 Deration Of War
''If I tell her now that the baby was not mine, would she still be willing to have sex with me?'' Matthew
wondered.
Erica''s thought processes were different from that of normal people. Just in case she refused to have a
baby with him, Matthew chose not to correct her assumptions about Phoebe''s baby.
But... He couldn''t give himself away either. So, he pulled her arms off his neck and asked calmly, "You
thought that I would dly ept yourpensation, didn''t you? Get some rest first. I''ll think about it."
''Huh? He needs to think about it?'' Erica grumbled to herself.
Matthew had always said that she didn''t love him, but right now, it was he who didn''t love her at all! She
was tantly open about her intentions, almost blurting out, "Please sleep with me!" But he had to think
about it?
But she calmed down quickly when she remembered that he had just lost his unborn child. This was
not the time to argue or fight with him.
Matthew went into the bathroom. Erica was feeling sleepy and dozed off before he came out.
The next day, instead of going to school, Erica went to the hospital to see Phoebe.
Before she arrived at the hospital, she was mentally prepared to see Matthew and Phoebe together in
the ward. However, when she opened the door, she was slightly surprised to see that only Phoebe and
her father were inside.
They weren''t expecting her visit either, so they were obviously stunned.
Phoebe was visibly upset at the sight of Erica. She red at the girl and yelled, "What are you doing
here? You killed my child! How dare you show your face here?"
Lyman was a little embarrassed by his daughter''s resentful attitude. "Mrs. Huo, I''m sorry. Phoebe hasn''t
recovered yet. Could youe backter?"
Erica smiled and said politely, "Mr. Su, I''m sorry. I have to talk privately with Phoebe. Could you
please...?"
Lyman understood. He couldn''t afford to offend Matthew''s wife. So, he took out a cigarette from his
pocket and told them, "I''m going out for a smoke. You girls talk."
"Thank you, Mr. Su."
He nodded with a smile and left the ward.
Phoebe had no need to pretend anymore since they were left alone now. She stared at Erica
indifferently.
Sitting in the chair next to the bed, Erica supported her chin with one hand and asked in a low voice,
"Do you think I can''t prove my innocence without the surveince video? Or are you dreaming that I
would lose my title as Mrs. Huo because you lost this child? You are too naive, Phoebe."
"What do you mean?" ''Does she have a witness for the ident?'' Phoebe thought grimly.
Erica scoffed. The smile at the corners of her mouth became wider. "Even if I really had pushed you
down and caused your miscarriage, Matthew won''t leave me. Last night, he told me that the loss of
your baby had nothing to do with us. We can just have another baby anytime."
Yes, Erica had deliberatelye here to provoke Phoebe.
This wicked woman had been so bold in framing her. Erica would have asked the hospital staff to throw
her out of the ward if it weren''t for Matthew.
As expected, Phoebe was pissed; her face turned pale. Her lips trembled, but she couldn''t say a word.
After a while, she retorted angrily, "I don''t believe it! Matthew loved our child very much!" He did value
the unborn child. It was the only child of Nathan. Matthew had been very considerate and he always
sent someone to apany her to the regr examinations.
She had assumed that the loss of the baby would make Matthew mad with Erica and that he might
even divorce her. It seemed that she had underestimated his love for Erica.
Erica stood up, straightened her clothes and dered arrogantly, "I don''t care whether you believe it or
not. I''m only here to tell you, Phoebe Su, that I''m dering war on you. The position of Mrs. Huo will
forever be mine! I know that you want it so badly, but you will never have it!"
"Erica Li, you bitch..."
Pak! Erica gave one p across Phoebe''s pale cheek.
Phoebe covered her aching face and stared at the girl nkly. "You!" she screamed amid the shock.
"How dare you hit me!"
Erica snorted at the woman''s abashed face. "Did you really think that I would just stand here and let
you swear at me? Others may not know the truth, but I know that you were the one who killed your own
child. You''re a monster! How dare you frame me for your heinous crime! You are only still lying in this
hospital bed because I wanted you to get some rest after the miscarriage. I hope you recover to your
best shape soon, so that I can send you to the slum where you belong!"
Erica had shown no mercy towards Tessie in the end. Phoebe was ten thousand times worse than
Tessie. She would do anything in her power to make sure that Matthew sent Phoebe to the slum, even
if she had to beg him for it.
She wanted to far more than just p this woman. She was determined to be Erica Niugulu to
teach this vicious woman a hard lesson!
"Damn you, Erica! You just wait and see!" Phoebe snarled. The p mark on her face was quite

obvious. It was the best evidence to present to Matthew.
"Oh, I will wait. You think I''m afraid of you? You can tell on me to Matthew, I don''t care. I''m on my way
to visit my parents-inw now to keep thempany for a while. Let''s see if Matthew would dare
mention divorce in front of his parents."
Phoebe was going crazy listening to her every backsh. She was so close to pulling out the needle on
her wrist to p the arrogant girl in front of her.
But Erica had no ns to give her that satisfaction. She turned around and left the room with her head
held high. Her straight, unflinching back looked like that of a noble princess.
As soon as she walked out of the in-patient department, the arrogant expression on Erica''s face faded.
She immediately dialed Matthew''s number on her phone. "Hello, are you busy?"
Matthew silently stopped the department manager, who was in the middle of giving his report. He stood
up and walked to the window before replying, "No."
"So, here''s the thing. I came to the hospital for a visit and ended up pping Mistress Su. Half her face
is swollen like an apple. I''m going to your parents'' house now. If you want a divorce, I won''t object. But
you have toe to the manor and talk to them yourself." Erica had to tell him the truth. She was
afraid that Phoebe wouldin to him and that she would exaggerate and nder her. So, it was
best that Erica informed him first.
''Mistress Su?'' Matthew was amused by her words. He adjusted his emotions and asked in a low voice,
"Why are you so damn arrogant after pping her?"
"She deserves it! If she ever got pregnant with your baby again, I would dly push her and make her
have a miscarriage again!" ''That bitch used me of killing her baby! I might as well just do it!'' she
thought angrily.
"You wouldn''t dare."
"Yes, I would!"
''Very good, '' Matthew thought with a smile. He gave her a thumbs up in his mind.
There was a hint of coldness in the man''s voice when he spoke again. "You don''t have to go see Dad
and Mom. I don''t have time to care about silly trifles between women."
Erica breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, good for you! I don''t want to disturb you. Bye, Mr. Huo."
Matthew sighed inwardly. Wasn''t there anything else she wanted to talk to him about other than
Phoebe?
But before he could ask, the woman hung up on him.
Looking at his phone helplessly, Matthew went back to his desk and asked the department manager to
continue with his report.
A few minutester, his phone vibrated again. It was Phoebe.
He frowned and put the phone aside, letting it vibrate on his desk.
Phoebe called him twice. She figured he was busy since he didn''t pick her call. She sent him a
message instead.
"Matthew, Erica has gone too far! I''m at the hospital to recuperate. She came here, and instead of
apologizing, she pped me in the face! My face is swollen because of her!"
