Dolores Flores sat down next to Matthew Nelson. Jeffery Harris kept talking about Jolene Harris’s past
matter, “At that time, Jolene didn’t really want to marry your father. She agreed because it was for the
sake of the Harris family. At that time, I saw that Jayden Nelson looked smart and talented and he was
also very capable. I thought that they could nurture their relationship after they married. However, I was
wrong.”
Jeffery was regretful and upset.
His look didn’t show any of the slightest of insincerity. If there was a chance to reset the time, he
wouldn’t let his sister marry him.
Although Dolores was in the living room, she was paying attention to Marina.
She saw that Marina put the tableware that Matthew had used in a separate place.
Luckily, she had swapped it before. Otherwise…
She only hoped that she could slip by.
She had done everything she could and she could only accept fate.
After a while, when Marina came out and heard that Jeffery was still talking about the matter about
Jolene, she walked towards him and stopped him, “Are you drunk?”
Jeffery shook off her hand, “I am not drunk. How could I be drunk when I only drank a glass of wine.”
“Then why are you talking so much today?”
“I feel bad in my heart. Am I not allowed to drink and talk?” Jeffery glared. The strained atmosphere felt
a bit less tense.
Marina smiled and said to Matthew, “You could go back first if you are busy. I think he will not finish
talking in a while.”
Matthew didn’t know about Marina’s intention. However, Dolores knew that Marina definitely wanted to
take the samples from the tableware that Matthew had used.
This time she had found out that and she had a chance to swap it. However, if they hadn’t done it
successfully this time, they still had to find another chance to get the samples.
She held Matthew’s arm, “Let’s go back first. I still have things to do.”
“Then, I will not ask you to stay longer.” Marina asked them to look at Jeffery as she showed a helpless
face.”
Matthew stood up and looked at Jeffery, “I will leave first.”
Jeffery was in deep grief and he didn’t hear Matthew’s voice. Marina replied, “Okay. You could leave
first. I will take care of him.”
Matthew looked at Marina. He noticed Marina’s abnormality today.
It seemed like she wanted him to leave. In the past, she used to ask him to stay longer.
Dolores pulled his sleeve and smiled as she said, “Samuel and Simona are still waiting for us.”
Matthew had some thought to find out the reason as he turned.
Marina held Jeffery as she said, “I will not send you off.”
Dolores waved to her, “You don’t have to send us off. We will leave now.”
When they walked out of the door, Dolores’s hands that were holding Matthew's arm slightly loosened.
Matthew lowered his eyes and looked at her calmly, “Is something bothering you?”
Today, Dolores seemed to be a little abnormal.
Dolores was stunned. She thought for a moment and replied, “I promised Samuel and Simona to go
home earlier.”
“Is this the matter that bothers you?” Matthew raised his eyebrows.
Dolores tilted her head and leaned in his hug while acting like a spoiled girl, “It is. Can’t it be?”
Matthew liked her to act like a spoiled girl in front of him. He reached out his hands and hugged her. He
buried his head in her neck, “Okay. Everything you say is right. I will listen to you.”
The hot air that he exhaled touched her skin. It was itchy. She pushed him, “Okay, don’t do this.”
Matthew kissed her lips and he smiled as if a vague feeling could be felt, “I should go back earlier.”
After he said that, he didn’t give any chance for Dolores to react and reject as he pulled her into the car.
On the way back, Dolores looked through her phone to watch the video that Samuel Flores had sent.
She noticed that Central TV Network had responded to this video and it stated that they would let the
department investigate the incident.
Dolores suddenly looked serious. She turned her head and looked at Matthew, “You son…”
“Yes?”
Matthew turned his head.
Dolores passed her phone to him.
Matthew didn’t feel that this was a serious matter. Innocent people wouldn’t be afraid to be
investigated.
If he didn’t behave well, he deserved to be investigated.
Anyway, his son did a great job.
Dolores kept her phone. She took a deep breath. She hoped that the fact that this video was spread by
Samuel would not be known by the others.
Matthew knew what she was worried about. He gave her an assurance, “No one will know.”
When he knew what Samuel was going to do, he had already asked someone to clear every trace.
No one would find out that the video was spread by Samuel.
Dolores was relieved. At that moment, the phone in her pocket rang. It was a call from the nurse from
the hospital. Dolores had left her phone number to the nurse who was taking care of Theresa Gordon
so that she could call her if something happened.
“According to the doctor in charge, the patient could be transferred to a normal ward. However, the
patient is not willing to be transferred.”
Dolores said, “Okay, I understand. I will go there now.”
After hanging up the phone, Dolores said, “You might have to send me to the hospital.”
Although Matthew didn’t ask her, he knew why she wanted to go to the hospital. He made a turn at the
intersection in front.
Soon, the car stopped at the car park of the hospital.
Dolores and Matthew got out of the car and walked into the lobby. They took a lift to the 21st floor
where the ICU was.
In the corridor, Armand Bernie was disturbing the nurse, “Please let me go in to say a few words to her.
Only a few words.”
“It is not that I do not allow you to go in. The patient doesn’t want to see you. I have no choice. The
patient’s condition is unique as she couldn’t be stimulated. So please calm down and wait until the
patient recovers. After that, it doesn’t matter if you meet her or talk to her. Now, please don’t make it
difficult for me.” The nurse tried her best to convince him.
When Dolores saw this scene, she knew why Theresa was not willing to be transferred to the normal
ward.
She walked fast towards them, “Armand.”
Armand turned and looked at Dolores who rushed towards him. He let go of the nurse, “Dolores…”
“Do you know where you are? You are at the hospital.” Dolores said with a stern voice.
Armand clearly knew what this place was. He felt bad in his heart and he wanted to have a look at
Theresa.
“I can’t control myself.”
“Do you want to apologize to her or do you want to repent?” Dolores’s words were harsh and sharp.
“Do you know what’s her condition now? Disfigurement, miscarriage. Do you know how hard it is for a
woman when she lost her child and she was disfigured? If you still have a heart, stop disturbing her. Let
her stay quietly, calm down and get well, okay?”
Armand understood all these, “I only want to have a look at her, okay?”
“She wouldn’t want you to see her at her current state.” Dolores took a deep breath, “I will not hide
anything from you. I have found another hospital for her. I will bring her away. When she had gotten
better, I will tell you the address. At that time, you could talk together. However, during the time when
she hasn’t recovered, you don’t come to disturb her.”
Upon hearing this, Armand was in a panic. ‘Did she want to bring Theresa away?’
“Dolores…”
“This is Theresa’s intention.” Dolores stopped him.
Armand looked at Matthew for help, “Matthew…”
“I can’t help you.” Matthew rejected him decisively. He listened to his wife.
He also felt that Armand and Theresa should both calm down for a while. They couldn’t solve the
problem in their hearts even if they met now.
Armand was in deep grief. “I only want to have a look at her. Why are you all rejecting me?”
“Is it necessary for you to have a look at her? Have you thought about Theresa’s feelings? She is
disfigured. What kind of mentality do you want her to have when she faces you? How could you be so
selfish? Why are you only thinking of yourself but not her?”
