When they arrived at Lakeside Garden, Stanley was already done with all the arrangements. Matthew
took the key and entered the house with the patient. Crystal had wanted to enter as well, but he stopped
her from doing that. Left with no choice, she could only leave.
The patient was astounded as she didn’t expect that he would bring her to such a spacious and bright
place. Apparently, she had never seen such a luxurious villa.
Matthew uttered, “You’ll stay here for now and I’ll slowly treat you. By the way, you better not leave the
house. I’ll tell someone to place food at the door every day and you’ll get it yourself. After you’re done
with having the food, just put it outside the door and someone will take it away. Remember, don’t leave
the house no matter what happens. Got it?”
The patient gazed at him and dipped her head. Now, she could live in such a house and didn’t have to
worry about food, which was a much better life than when she was sleeping on the streets.
After showing her around the residence, he told her to choose a room. It was apparent that she still
didn’t feel safe, so she chose the smallest room, which was usually for the maids.
He didn’t mind her decision and waited for her to settle in before leaving. After stepping out of the villa,
he didn’t head home directly. Instead, he went to the villa area that his construction company was
developing. The lake in the center of the area had been purified as all the worm eggs had been
eliminated. After staring at the lake for a while, he asked gently, “It seems that the worms were not part of
the lake. Who on earth is looking for her?”
While he was deep in his thoughts, his phone suddenly started ringing. After the call was connected,
Helen’s flustered voice could be heard saying, “Matthew, how is it now? Is that person dead?”
Matthew was rendered speechless upon hearing that. “The patient is out of the woods now.”
In an instant, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness! Thank goodness!”
Then, she yelled at the people around her, “I told you there wouldn’t be any problem. Look, that person is
alive. Since that person isn’t dead, it means that this matter isn’t so serious. We’ll just compensate him
with some money. What’s the big deal? Come on. Let’s go home. Look at how anxious you are…”
As she murmured, she hung up the call.
With a helpless expression, Matthew drove back to The Grand Garden. Helen and the others had
already arrived home while Chloe and Jonah were seated in the living room.
When Matthew stepped into the room, Jonah could be heard yelling, “Helen, why were you so careless?
He doesn’t even have a driver’s license, so how could you lend him the car? He’s just a reckless young
man. By lending him the car, you’re basically destroying his future!”
Matthew was stunned. What the heck! His son crashed into someone, but he’s here to blame us for
lending his son the car.
James was seated in the living room with a furious expression as he bellowed, “Do you think we wanted
to lend him the car? He was the one who kept begging us to lend him the car. Helen only agreed to it
because she was left with no choice. Moreover, he told us that his girlfriend would drive, not him. So,
how can you blame us for this?”
Jonah refuted, “Did you just believe him when he said his girlfriend would drive? James, the car is yours.
If you didn’t want to lend it to him, could he have snatched it from you? It’s not that I want to blame you,
but he’s still young, so how could you let him do whatever he wants to do? Now that he’s in trouble, let’s
see how you’ll settle this.”
James was startled. “What do you mean? It’s your family’s affair, so why should I settle it for you?”
Jonah barked, “If you didn’t lend him the car, such a thing wouldn’t have happened. Shouldn’t you take
up the responsibility?”
