Take My Breath Away

"Mr. Huo found out that I was the one who sent you the roses, so I ended up like this." There was an unreadable emotion in Watkins' eyes as he said those words.

But what he said was like a bomb that exploded in Erica's ears. Her body shivered as she asked cautiously, "Do you mean it was Matthew who did this to you?" 'Why didn't I know anything?' she wondered inwardly.

Before Watkins could answer, Paige came and quickly handed her the phone. "Mrs. Huo, Mr. Huo wants to talk to you."

She took the phone from Paige in a daze and reflexively said, "Hello?"

"Since you are done with your checkup, let Paige drive you home now. Don't go somewhere else anymore." There was no emotion in Matthew's voice.

Erica first turned to Watkins, who had been beaten black and blue, before she said in a low voice, "I heard that Watkins is in this hospital too, so I came to check on him. I didn't expect that he is seriously injured."

"I did it," he admitted bluntly.

She bit her lower lip to suppress the anger that boiled up in her heart and asked, "Why did you do it? Just because he sent me those roses?" 'How can Matthew be this ruthless?' she thought angrily.

"Yes."

"You are so cruel!"

His eyes turned cold as ice when she called him cruel. He could even be more ruthless. "Whoever dares to covet my wife must die," he said through clenched teeth.

She trembled at his words. This was her first time to discover his horrible side.

"Erica, you better stop arguing with me over an irrelevant man. Otherwise, I might do something more savage to him."

Matthew spoke in his usual low voice, but it sounded cold and cruel to her ears.

As Watkins heard their conversation, he said in a trembling voice, "Erica, you may leave now. I want to have a good rest."

Erica hung up the phone and gave it back to Paige. The assistant said, "Mrs. Huo, Mr. Huo told me to send you back home."

"Wait a moment," she answered. She then turned and walked towards the bed. "Watkins, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault."

Watkins shook his head and replied, "Don't blame yourself, Erica. You should go back home now."

She nodded. "Rest well. I'll visit you again some other day.

d her heart. She didn't know what to say anymore.

Before she got out of the car, her phone rang again. It was Rhea calling this time. Somehow, her mood had gotten a bit better. "Hello, my dear Rhea."

"Rika, your dear Rhea has just broken up with her boyfriend."

"What?" she exclaimed. She got a little confused, so she asked, "Didn't you just send me some screenshots of your chat history two days ago to show off your love?" Rhea had even sent her a voicemail full of laughter.

"He is dating four women at the same time," Rhea exclaimed.

Erica was so shocked to hear such news. "Oh, my God! Seriously? Four women? Is your boyfriend a beast?"

"I'm sure he is. And you know what? If I haven't accidentally joined a WeChat group and saw a woman's profile photo that looked exactly like mine, I wouldn't have discovered it." There was a hint of anger in Rhea's voice. Well, who would have thought that her boyfriend was such a jerk?

She had actually sent a friend request to that woman. At first, she thought that it was just a coincidence that they used the same profile photo, so she wanted to have a casual chat with her.

But to her surprise, while they were chatting, the woman sent her a photo of her boyfriend to show off that he was a soldier protecting the country.

She stared at the photo for a very long time. And she couldn't be mistaken. The man in the picture, who was smiling cheek to cheek with the woman, was her boyfriend.
