Twisted Marriage: Secret Loves (Gale and Shawn)

"Wait." The bodyguard stopped the servant, "Mr. Wood only agreed to Mr. Yarn going in, as for him... He has to stay here."

Matthew laughed along with him, "This is my servant. She's just bringing food for Natalie to nourish her body. Besides, she won't even be there for ten minutes and will come out soon."

"No."

"Let it slide this once, please?"

Matthew took out a cheque while talking, and quietly stuffed it into the bodyguard's hand.

Turns out, the bodyguard became even more stern, "You are only allowed to go in alone, and you are not allowed to bring anything or anyone else. Ten minutes, no more than that. Start the timer now!" Matthew's smile slowly faded, and a look of annoyance flashed in his eyes.

He waved his hand to let the servant leave. He felt distraught as he stood at the door of the ward. He was lingering and was still unwilling to just walk in casually.

Just as he was racking his brains to think about how to bring a person in, a nurse came over with a tray.

"It's time to change the dressing." The nurse said, "Can I go in?"

The bodyguard replied, "Come back in ten minutes, now is not the time."

The nurse was about to nod when Matthew hurriedly said, "It's fine, go ahead!"

He acted resolutely and pulled the nurse to his side, "It's okay, you can go in and treat Natalie's wound. I'm just going to see her for a while. I'm frank and upright. There's nothing that can't be heard by others." The bodyguard hesitated.

Matthew had already pushed open the door of the ward to let the nurse in, "As a parent, I only want what's best for her, how can I bear to delay the time for her to take the medicine?"

The bodyguard peeked in through the crack of the door.

Natalie was lying on the hospital bed, motionless like a dead person, Matthew and the nurse walked towards her together.

Then, the door closed.

"Natalie?" Mathew walked to the hospital bed and shouted hastily, "Wake up!"

Natalie slowly opened her eyes, looked at the familiar person in front of her. It took a while for her to process the face.

"Dad..." she said weakly, "It's you... You, why are you here..."

"I'm here to see you! I managed to get ten minutes from Mr. Wood!"

Natalie's face turned pale, "Dad, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I brought a horrible disaster to the Yarn family..."

As she spoke, she struggled to sit up, "But don't worry, I won't implicate you and mom. Everything is because of me, and Aurum's attitude is very clear from the start, he wants to protect you. With him here, you will be fine, and the Yarn family will not go bankrupt."

"Even after all this, you're still worrying about us instead of yourself..."

Natalie looked at him, "I'm the one who brought trouble to this family. Shouldn't I be to blame?"

"Does it look like the problem will be solved if I keep blaming you? Lie down, you need to be resting." Matthew said, "The nurse needs to give you medicine!"

Natalie twitched the corners of her mouth, "What's the point of the medicine? It's better to just let me die. Dad, it's only in Shawn's hands that I realize that wanting to die is such a difficult thing!"

Matthew had a hesitant expression, and finally said nothing, waving for the nurse to come over.

Natalie's wound was on her chest.

The scar on her finger was bloody and bruised; it was wrapped in a piece of gauze to protect bacteria from infecting the cut.

When the nurse removed the gauze, Natalie gasped in pain because the scab was sticking to it.

Mathew watched from the side feeling very distressed, and kept scolding the nurse, "Take it easy, slow down! It's like you're trying to torture her!"

Tears flowed down Natalie's eyes.

"Look at what you did!" Matthew became even more angry, "You've made my daughter cry!"

The nurse was scolded so badly that she didn't know what to do for a while.

"Dad, I'm not crying because it hurts, I'm crying because I feel bad..."
