The Woman From Hell

Chapter 330

"Wanda!" Matthew heard the door open. He ran out of the bedroom with an anxious face. "Wherehave 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 thatyou weren't home. I was worried sick. I called you but you didn't bring your phone with you. Ithought 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 onewho’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 blank expression. This was the first time I realized his feelings for me hadchanged.

"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 cameback 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 firstaid kit."

I could not help but be amazed by how attentive he was. I did not expect him to replace out so quicklythat m y feet were abraded.

Matthew carried the first aid kit over. He took my feet and put them on his lap. Then, he dressed thewounds 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 ofdarkness, I was greedy for the warmth that others gave to me-even if it was just a little. Otherwise, Iwas 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 youtaking 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 unhappyexpression.

I pursed my lips and said, "We should keep a distance from each other. I'm a married woman, afterall. If there are rumors going on about something happening between the two of us, it'll betroublesome 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 placidly, "Ifyou're worried about this, I can keep my distance from you. But with one condition. There must besomeone beside you to keep you company. 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 tosee through everything. I lowered my gaze. I could not confidently say that I could take good care ofmyself.

Matthew stood up and walked in front of me. He bent down a little. "I'll not regret it once I've set mymind. And I never do things halfway.”

His words were too vague, and I gave him a confused look.

Matthew had no intention to explain himself. He just smiled faintly. "Stop overthinking. I’m part of theZimmer family. I'd naturally avoid getting into trouble." 2
