We did not talk much after that. When she was done feeding the baby, I did not take the jacket back. "It's cold today. You're wearing too few layers. Take this jacket with you.”
"What are you going to wear?"
"I'm going back to get some clothes. The temperature is dropping too fast these days. I need to go back and get more thick clothes."
Liz nodded. “Okay."
Before I left, she suddenly asked me," What's your relationship with Matthew?"
"We're just friends," I replied very quickly." I have a husband and a son. Don't treat me like your rival. I hope your family will
remain happy and harmonious."
Liz breathed a long sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her face. "Thanks."
“You don't have to thank me. I owe him too much, so I hope he'll be happy. I believe you can give him that happiness."
After walking out of the hospital, I took a cab home.
There was a stifling sensation in my chest. Was Matthew so obsessed with me? Was he so obsessed that he would even ignore his wife and child?
After going home, I found several warm clothes and put them in a bag. I then went to the kitchen to make several light dishes. I planned to share them with Liz and Matthew in the hospital.
When I arrived at the hospital and got to the ward, I heard the cries of a woman and an infant. Matthew's furious roars intermingled with them.
"I made a mistake. I shouldn't have come. Why did I come when I know you hate me so much? I'll leave with the child right now," Liz sobbed and screamed.
I frowned and pushed open the door of the ward.
