True Love Waits

Chapter 1314 I'm married

That was what Paige said before she left the company.

"Did you just say the eldest daughter of the Su family? Camille Su?" Erica felt a bit confused upon

hearing it. 'When did it happen? Why didn't Matthew tell me?' she wondered.

"Yes, Mrs. Huo," the assistant replied with a nod.

Erica stood still for a moment, deep in thought. Then she asked, "Do you know which hospital they

were going to?"

The assistant immediately told her the name of the hospital.

"Thank you," she said before leaving. Thinking about Matthew going to the hospital to visit Camille

made Erica forget about lunch, but she subconsciously brought the lunch box with her to the hospital.

She had only come back to her senses and realized that she had been holding it

when she was already at the entrance of the hospital.

Since Matthew couldn't have lunch at the hospital, she went back to the car and left the lunch box there

before going inside the hospital together with the bodyguard that Carlos sent for her.

Inside the ward on the ninth floor, Matthew was standing beside the bed. When a nurse came in to

change Camille's dressing, he turned and was about to leave.

But before he could take a step forward, a cold hand grabbed his arm. He frowned and looked at the

pale woman in bed.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, but please let me hold your hand for a moment. Changing the dressing hurts," she

said in a weak voice.

"Paige," he called out. He wanted Paige to come over and replace him, but he suddenly remembered

that he asked her to get some medicine in the pharmacy.

However, he still refused Camille's request, and withdrew his hand coldly. "I'm sorry, I'm married." He

then turned his back on her and looked out of the window. When Paige came back, he would leave

immediately.

Camille couldn't do anything but gnash her teeth silently while the nurse was changing her dressing.

But all of a sudden, the nurse screamed, "Ahhh! Miss Su, don't grab me. It hurts."

Camille immediately released the nurse's arm and apologized weakly, "I'm sorry."

"Miss Su, please hold on a little longer. I'll be as gentle as I can. Don't touch your wound because it

might get infected. Sir, can you help me control the patient, please? I can't apply the medicine to her

wound if she's like this," the nurse told Matthew helplessly.

After hesitating for a while, he eventually returned to Camille's bedside. Looking at her bleeding

shoulder, he reached out his hand to hold her arm.

Perhaps it was really painful because tears started to well up in Camille's eyes. To avoid letting out a

shriek, she bit her lips and endured the pain in silence.

When the nurse pulled off the bloody gauze, she squeezed Matthew's hand with all her might.

He wanted to withdraw his hand again and stay away from her. But since the nurse was beside him

and carefully applying the medicine, he restrained the urge to shake her hand off.

Meanwhile, Erica had already found Camille's ward number. She stood outside, watching the scene

through the glass pane. She was about to open the door, but her hand froze in midair.

While the nurse was applying medicine to Camille's wound, Matthew was holding her with his left hand

while his right hand was in his pocket.

Watching the scene made her feel like her heart was being clenched tightly by a giant hand. The sharp

pain made her difficult to breathe.

She held her chest and sat down on the bench beside the door, trying to ease her mood.

Since she got pregnant, she had become short-tempered. Right at this moment, all she wanted to do

was rush over and strangle Camille to death.

To control her emotion, she closed her eyes tightly and kept reminding herself inwardly, 'Calm down,

Erica. Think of the babies inside your belly.'

Inside the ward, Matthew couldn't take it anymore.

He ruthlessly shook off Camille's hand that was still holding him firmly. He then said mercilessly, "Miss

Su, let me remind you again. I am already married."

Camille's hand fell weakly. She took a deep breath while tears kept falling down the corners of her

eyes. Shaking her head, she said in a frail voice, "I'm sorry. It just hurts a lot. If I have known it earlier, I

shouldn't have blocked my body to take those bullets for you."

Matthew could understand the regret in her eyes, so he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he just put his

hands in his pockets without saying anything. He was looking forward to washing his hands

immediately.

All of a sudden, the door burst open.

The loud noise made the three people inside the ward turn their heads in an instant.

Erica stood at the door with a cold expression on her face, followed by a bodyguard behind her.

As soon as Matthew saw her, his first reaction was to greet her, "Rika." His voice was full of

tenderness, totally different from the tone he used to Camille just now.

However, Erica just ignored him and walked up straight to the bedside. Without minding the nurse who

was still putting the dressing, she raised her hand and slapped Camille's face heavily.

Pak!

It happened so suddenly that neither Camille nor the nurse was able to move. Even Matthew was

stunned for a moment.

"Erica Li, what did you just do?" someone yelled from behind. The voice didn't come from any of the

three people inside the ward. It came from Fanya, who had just arrived.

She came in just in time to see how Erica had slapped her daughter.

Erica turned to her and gave her the coldest stare that Matthew had never seen before. She wasn't

afraid of facing Fanya at all. She replied with a sneer, "What do you think I just did? The Su family has

indeed raised three hypocritical bitches. Since you, as their mother, failed to raise them properly, I will

help you teach them a lesson. Otherwise, they will continue to destroy other families in this country." Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Fanya and Camille were both stunned at her words. They didn't expect that Erica was that plucky. But

since Matthew was there, Fanya didn't dare to ignore his presence. She reluctantly nodded at him

before coming over beside Camille's bed.

She then said to Erica, "Mrs. Huo, how can you be so ungrateful? Camille took two bullets for Mr. Huo,

and you didn't even thank her. Instead, you hit and scolded her. Do you really think that the members of

the Su family are easy to bully?"

It was only now that Erica found out the reason why Camille was hurt. But even so, she didn't give a

damn. "So, do you think being hurt because of my husband gives her all the right to hold his hand, not

wanting to let go?" she blurted. She was so furious, especially when she remembered that Matthew

also didn't even shake off Camille's hand.

She would definitely settle accounts with him later as well.

"The nurse is applying medicine to my wound and changing the dressing. Do you know how painful it is

without anesthesia? Why don't you try it yourself?" Camille said calmly.

Erica seemed to be a different person today. Fanya and Camille didn't make her panic at all. Looking at

the mark of her fingers on Camille's face, she retorted, "Don't blame my husband for your pain!

Besides, no one told you to take those bullets for him. And my husband cares so much for me that he

surely won't let that happen to me. If it happened to be me on the scene, I'm sure that he would protect

me. I don't need to be like a pest and take the bullets for him as you did."

First, she called Camille a bitch. Now, she likened her to a pest who kept on pestering her husband.

These words angered both Fanya and Camille that they couldn't hide the darkness on their faces

anymore.

Matthew didn't do anything to stop Erica. He just went to the bathroom to wash his hands, then sat on

the sofa. He was only waiting for her to finish dealing with the mother and daughter of the Su family.

Erica had always been a glib talker in front of him. Now that she was faced with Fanya and Camille,

who had images to protect in public, he strongly believed that she wouldn't lose.
