Billionaire's Stubborn Slave Wife
Chapter 68: Restricted Freedom

This injury left Lauren in a coma for a whole week. During this week, Matthew had been in inch by inch guarding Lauren's bedside, his face still had no expression, only the occasional flash of hurt under his

eyes still gave away his true feelings for Lauren.

"Sir, you go take a rest, I'll just take care of Miss Li here."

Seeing the always spirited Matthew, now with a tired face, Cindy hurriedly walked to his side and said softly.

"You go down and rest, I'll just watch from here."

Matthew's eyes had been locked tightly on Lauren's overly pale face.

Although Lauren's condition was somewhat relieved, and the wound on her foot would not affect her walking in the future, Matthew would never forget the way she looked when she was unconscious for the rest of his life.

"Ah, mmm."

Lauren, in the hospital bed, slowly opened her eyes, too painful for her body to even have the strength to speak.

When she saw Matthew lying beside her bed, her heart burst into panic, she couldn't forget the image of Matthew making Coco torture her, she couldn't forget the image of Matthew making her kneel down and apologize to a woman.

Perhaps it was Matthew's insubstantial sleep, or perhaps it was the sound of Lauren's soft sigh that woke him up, and he jumped up from the side of the bed at once. When he saw Lauren, who had opened he eyes and was looking at him. A smile lifted up on his face.

"You're finally awake, I asked Cindy to come over and take care of you."

Without waiting for any reaction from Lauren, Matthew directly walked out of the ward.

After a while, Cindy walked into the ward with a smile on her face and came directly to Lauren's front.

"Miss Li, you're finally awake, you know? It's been scaring us to death this week."

The concern on Cindy's face caused a weak smile to appear on Lauren's face.

"Cindy, thank you for your concern. I'm much better now, you should go back to rest too."

Cindy shook her head.

"Miss Li, I'm not tired, and it's been Mr. who has been taking care of you for this week. You don't know how nervous Mister is about you. In order to avenge you and punish that Coco, sir directly acquired the shares of her company, and now her company no longer exists."

"Cindy, are you telling the truth?"

Lauren was taken aback; she was a little confused. Why Matthew would do such a thing for her. Was he in love with her, or did he hate her?

"Of course it's true, look, I've kept all these newspapers. It has a lot of things about Mr. acquiring her company's stock."

Cindy picked up the newspaper that was placed on the bedside.

When reading what was on it, Lauren was really surprised, but she really wasn't sure what Matthew's intentions were.

"Is he out there?"

Cindy shook her head.

"No, just now after you woke up sir left the hospital, probably back to work at the company? Miss Li, you'd better take a good rest, the wound on your foot is no longer any problem, the doctor said that after resting for some more time, your foot will be able to walk freely."

Cindy took the doctor's examination results and told Lauren.

"Cindy, tell me, is this silver ring to be carried on my foot for the rest of my life?"

Lauren pointed to the silver ring on her ankle.

Cindy nodded gently.

"Because it is directly penetrated into the bone, so unless it is operated, this silver ring can not be removed, and if operated, the success rate of this operation will not be very high, because when the gentleman penetrated the silver ring, he injected a kind of potion that even the doctor does not know, so the doctor said that if operated, there is only a twenty percent hope, and the other percent and eighty percent would mean the leg would be ruined."

Lauren nodded gently.

"I knew that Matthew would never let me out of his sight in this life, Cindy, when we talk like this now, is it possible that his end can see clearly and hear the conversation between us." Cindy nodded.

"Yes. When the doctor was examining it, he had found that the silver ring was filled with surveillance equipment that is not even listed now. So every move is under Sir's control."

Lauren took a few deep breaths before she could calm herself to accept this fact. She waved her hand at Cindy.

"Cindy, you call this person for me, I want to see her now."

Lauren took Emily's phone number and told Cindy. Cindy nodded understandingly and turned to walk out of the ward.

Cindy had just walked out of the ward when she was startled by Matthew standing in the doorway.

"Sir, aren't you...... you gone?"

Matthew did not speak, just put his hand in front of Cindy, Cindy immediately understood his meaning, the phone number that Lauren just handed him, told Matthew.

"You go back and tell her that you called, just that the other party said that they have a lot of work right now and don't have time to come over to see her, and that they will come over to see her after they are busy for a while."

"Sir, are you sure that if you say that, Miss Li will believe it?"

Cindy was getting confused and didn't understand what the gentleman was trying to do.

"You are hired by me, only obey my orders, or I will let you go anytime, understand? If I replace out that you're contacting other people behind my back, I'll make sure you can't get a decent job again, understand?" The devilishly cold words came out of Matthew's mouth. His dark obsidian eyes burst into a fierce flame.

"Cindy will do as she is told, sir."

Matthew nodded with satisfaction. Through the glass of the ward, he could clearly see Lauren lying on the hospital bed with a pale face. Her originally large watery eyes were now very blank.

When Cindy walked into the ward again, Lauren hurriedly opened her eyes.

"Cindy, did you replace Emily?"

Cindy was slightly hesitant, but still followed Matthew's instructions and told Lauren all the things he had handed down.

Lauren looked disappointed, it seems to rely on Cindy, it is impossible to get in touch with the people outside.

"I know, you tell Matthew that I won't have any more contact with people outside, and tell him not to threaten you to lie anymore."

"Miss Li, you know?"

Cindy really admired Lauren's intelligence and calmness somewhat. An ordinary woman would definitely go crazy when she encountered such a situation, but she was so calm, so calm that it was scary. Her reaction also made Matthew, who was in front of the computer, feel a wave of fear that could not put people at ease.
