Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 1453 - Untying the Knot

It was actually quite a bad thing.

In the past Matthew was afraid of fire, and the moment he saw some fire he remembered all those things from his past, so that day that she had a fire was a really difficult point for him to overcome. But in the end, thanks to her, he overcame his fear of fire.

But to his surprise, Anna ended up getting hit.

Is this a test from God for the two of them?

But no matter how great the trials were, as long as they were not life and death trials, he could accept them and overcome them.

But he had to keep her safe.

Anna kept trying to run away after hearing Matthew's words, but she kept her hand well guarded.

"Don't run away and don't be afraid, listen to me, the danger has been eliminated, we are all safe now, as long as you and the baby are safe we can live like this for the rest of our lives, but what if something happens to you, what about the baby? What about me?"

"Don't go on like this, promise me."

Anna continued not to say a word, even though water was beading her eyelashes.

"Do you know why I never had birthdays? Because, as a child, I had my father buried in a fire to celebrate my birthday, and ever since then I have a deep shadow over my birthday and the firelight. So that day when you celebrated my birthday, the sight I saw in my head was all memories of the past. Including when I went to rescue you and rushed into the fire, I was thinking about it. I was afraid that I couldn't leave, but I was even more afraid that you would be buried in the fire like my father, so how could I dwell on my shadow and not worry about your life? So in a way you saved me, you pulled me out of the shadows so that I was no longer afraid of that and could go and face them bravely, but now you have the shadows and that's not how I want it to end."

As he said more and more, Anna's eyelids blinked harder and harder.

The touch of her heart was at first because of the child. Then it was because Matthew had come forward and confessed the birthday incident to her, even though it had happened then and after the two had made up Anna had said she didn't care anymore.

And she did not want to reopen her wounds.

But now she had chosen to tell herself the truth.

It was the equivalent. She had opened his wounds once again.

Hearing him say that his closest relatives had died in the fire, again on his birthday, Anna felt she could even imagine in her head the tangle and uncertainty Matthew felt as he rushed into the fire that day. She knew he was afraid of the fire, but he had rushed in anyway, against all odds.

If anything had gone wrong, he would have been buried in the fire. So for Matthew it should be more important than his life.

Tears were streaming down his face. Anna had not shed a single tear since she had fainted in the fire, but she had spent the whole day in a nightmare, emotionally disturbed.

But now, after hearing Matthew's words, her tears were like beads that had detached themselves from the strands and fell uncontrollably onto the back of Matthew's hand.

Her heart ached as if something was digging into her heart. But then it was as if some emotion had escaped from her chest?

Only when Matthew encircled her with his arms and embraced her did Anna finally break down and burst into tears.

"Oooh, I'm so scared, so scared, seeing you come running through the fire, I thought all three of us would die in there."

"No, I won't die and I won't let my baby die."

Matteo could only do his best to calm his emotions.

Anna was crying so hard that Matthew could feel a big wet spot on his shoulder, but his mood was not depressed at all, but much more relaxed.

Because with Anna crying, the knot in his heart could have been evacuated. Their sister was still a big girl, women still knew women, and in the future, if there was something they could not understand, they still had to ask Serena for more advice.

From the initial breaking down and crying to the subsequent whimpering, she finally fell asleep without words in Matthew's arms.

It was only because she had cried so much before that her body still trembled and sobbed a little when she fell asleep.

Matthew felt great pain again, but the thought of her waking up and going back to normal made him think it would be good to let her shed a few more tears.

He carried Anna to bed, tucked her in, and left the house.

As soon as he opened the door he ran into his in-laws who were eavesdropping outside the door.

Meeting Matthew's eyes, Amelia and Giancarlo were obviously a little embarrassed as well.

But Amelia was quick to react and immediately asked, "What's going on? Why did I hear Anna crying so loudly, is she still in the same condition as before? Matteo, why don't we take Anna to the hospital? It's not a good idea to keep dragging it out like this, the baby can't eat or sleep well lately.

Even if Amelia's words were misspoken, they were all possible.

"Mom, don't worry, I think the matter has been resolved, but we have to give Anna some more time, don't push too hard, she is tired now and resting, she should be fine by the time she wakes up again." Amelia was a little different: "She will be fine when she wakes up again, really?"

Matthew smiled faintly, "Probably, even if it's not good I will keep an eye on it and do my best to help her get better."

Her son-in-law was so positive and so caring that there was absolutely nothing for her, the mother, to do.

Amelia did not know what to say for a moment, the old couple had wanted to come and take care of Anna since they had arrived, but they ended up staying here the past few days with people eating and drinking and entertaining them, but the couple could not help, the most they could do was to say a few words to their daughter, but as they did so the daughter began to break down emotionally again. "Mom and dad don't worry, you stay here, I will take care of Anna," she said.

"You've had a hard time lately, you should also take care of your health, if you just can't stand it let mom and dad come, you and Anna are already married, no need to be so polite, we are all family." Amelia also felt distressed when she saw that he was mentally exhausted and had very thick dark circles under his eyes.

He also did not feel that she, as a mother, had been so attentive to Anna.

Giancarlo nodded, "That's right, you have to take care of yourself to take care of Anna, so it's time to rest or rest, eat when you can, and when you can't, let me and your mother know, okay?"

"Mmm."

From the change of mind produced some, so this time the sleep actually lasted 5 hours, she slept very deeply and never talked in her sleep or had nightmares.

Amelia was simply amazed as she kept an eye on her.

After some more time, Amelia realized that Anna was still stable, so she said to Matthew, "Go and rest for a while, Anna seems quite stable at the moment, I will just take care of her." Matteo also turned his head to look at Anna, half-closed his lips and thought about Giancarlo's words.

You have to take care of yourself before you can take care of Anna.

He, who had not closed his eyes for days and whose eyes were bloodshot, should really rest.

"Well, I'll go get some sleep then, I'll leave it to mom here."

"Go, go, sleep some more, no need to rush."

After that Matthew left the room, but he did not go back to his room, instead he took the keys and went out.

His gaze was bloodshot, but his eyes were as cold as ice, "How did you replace out?"
