BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1247 Show Off
After the late lunch, Erica slowly made her way toward her car. Even though her legs were sore, she intended to visit the hospital.
At the hospital
Since the Su family members had just left, Phoebe, who was exhausted, closed her eyes, and the maid tasked with caring for her, settled in a chair.
Erica pushed the door and entered without knocking.
Surprised by the unannounced visitor, the maid jumped from her seat and asked, "Who are you?"
A charming smile lit up Erica's face as she pointed at the woman in the bed. "I'm here to see your lady."
"Oh!" the maid nodded. She glanced at the young woman again. Why did she feel as though this woman was familiar?
'Isn't she here to see a patient? Why did she come empty-handed?' the maid wondered.
Erica ignored the maid's puzzled gaze and sat on the chair beside the bed. As she was in no hurry to wake Phoebe, she quietly observed the woman.
Phoebe's face had lost its pink hue because of the blood loss and the surgery. Her eyes were closed, her breath was weak, and her lips were pale.
She was dressed in a hospital gown, and her slender arms, dull like her complexion, rested by her side. Her manicured fingers indicated that she was indeed from a wealthy family.
The sleeping woman woke, perhaps because she sensed someone's intent gaze. As soon as Phoebe turned, she saw Erica sitting by her side.
Her eyes flew wide open, and she became attentive. A trace of suspicion shone in her gaze as she questioned, "What are you doing here?"
"What am I doing?" Erica pouted so that Phoebe's attention would be drawn to her red lips. Before she came to the hospital, she asked a makeup artist to apply light makeup. Then, she contrasted it with tomato-red lip gloss. Her smile made her look more radiant.
In fact, she didn't know how she managed to walk into the hospital after getting out of the car. Thanks to Matthew, her legs were still trembling, and it was difficult for her to walk straight.
Irrespective of her discomfort, she had to share the news with Phoebe. Even if she had been unable to walk, she would have come in a wheelchair to show off to this woman!
Erica untied the silk scarf around her neck, fanned her hand as though it were hot, and said,
t hint of emotion.
"Did you have something else planned for me?"
Erica shook her head and tried to suppress the bitterness in her heart. "No, I'm leaving now!" What else could she say? Erica didn't think that she could ask him not to stay with Phoebe. After all, she didn't believe that she was that important to Matthew.
She turned and took a step away from her husband.
Matthew cocked his head to the side when he noticed how strangely Erica was walking.
It then dawned on him that she was just pretending to be strong.
A mischievous smile added a boyish charm to his handsome face. In a few giant strides, he caught up to her. Before Erica could process what was happening, Matthew had scooped her up in his arms.
Clueless as to what caused the change in her husband, Erica's mouth hung open. The shock from his actions left her feeling parched. She quickly wrapped her arms around Matthew's neck and said, "Y-you... Aren't you going to stay here with Phoebe?"
"No, I just remembered I have something more important to do. I'll come to her again when I'm free." Matthew was not in a hurry to question Phoebe about her miscarriage. Now, the most important thing was his little wife, who couldn't walk because of him.
Blood rushed to Erica's face when she saw the curious expressions on the passersby. She buried her face in his chest. "Put me down. I can walk by myself..."
"You can walk by yourself? Are you sure? It seemed like..." The man lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "I really need to work harder tonight."
What Matthew felt when he had sex with Erica was so addictive and wonderful that he found himself even more enamored with her.
