Chapter 399 No Matter What The Result Is, I Can Take It
The man's words caused Roseane to frown slightly.
She was indeed worried about Matthew.
But now, seeing him lying on the hospital bed proudly saying that she still cared about him, she did not want to admit it.
She took a deep breath and turned her head directly to look at Xander beside her. She pretended to be worried about Xander.
"It's been so long. Are you just wasting time here?"
"I thought something happened to you!"
After that, she glanced at Matthew indifferently. "What's wrong with you?"
Matthew curled his lips and looked at her indifferently. "Are you in such a hurry to come here just to find Xander?"
"Nonsense."
Roseane rolled her eyes at him. "Do you really think that I'm worried about you and came to see you?"
Matthew smiled and looked at the woman in front of him indifferently.
"You used to be the movie queen. Why are your acting skills getting worse and worse now?"
His eyes fell on her sweaty hair.
"I came to this town in order to pay for your mother's medical expenses. I'm injured and you came to visit me. There's nothing to feel embarrassed about."
"I won't laugh at you."
The man's words made Roseane feel embarrassed and helpless.
She curled her lips and knew that her acts had been seen through, so she decided not to pretend.
Roseane walked over and lifted the quilt covering Matthew.
"How are you?"
"It's near the hospital. How could there be a robbery?"
Matthew was naked.
As soon as Roseane lifted the quilt, the man's abdominal muscles and wounds wrapped in gauze were all exposed in the air.
Xander glanced at them and could not help exclaiming,
"Brother-in-law's figure is really good..."
Roseane frowned and glanced at Matthew's abdominal muscles indifferently.
Was this considered 'good'?
Matthew had not exercised for a long time because of his illness. The lines of his abdominal muscles were obviously not as good-looking as before.
How could this even make Xander shocked?
He had never seen Matthew before.
She couldn't help blushing whenever she wiped Matthew's body every day when he was injured...
But now, she had been immune to Matthew's abdominal muscles for a long time.
She pursed her lips and raised her hand to remove the gauze from Matthew's abdomen.
She wanted to know the extent of his injury.
But as soon as her fingers touched the edge of the gauze, they were held down by Matthew.
Matthew's rough and dry big hand gently pressed against Roseane's small hand.
"Don't move."
Roseane rolled her eyes at him. "I'm not trying to take advantage of you."
She just wanted to see how long and deep his wound was.
Otherwise, how could she take care of him in the future?
Wasn't it the same in the past when they were at home?"
Why did he become reserved in front of her now?
Matthew smiled. "I know you're not taking advantage of me, but it's not easy for me to show you."
After that, he held her hand with both hands on his chest. "Do you feel my heartbeat?"
"You can rest assured that I'm still alive."
The warmth of Matthew's big hand, the toughness of his chest, as well as his deep and affectionate voice and gaze, made Roseane seem as if her entire person had been scalded as she pulled her hand back.
She rolled her eyes at him. "Narcissist."
"Your life or death has nothing to do with me."
After that, she glanced at the number on Matthew's bedside and turned to leave.
"Xander, since there's no problem with him, don't stay here for too long. Mom and Dad are worried about you."
After saying that, she lifted her leg and walked out of the room.
Matthew sighed deeply as he watched her leave.
He did not allow her to look at his wound because there was nothing under the gauze.
However, there would be one in a few days.
Matthew just wanted to do something for Roseane, but he didn't want her to be grateful for a kidney.
Although he really hoped that Roseane would turn around to look at him and give him another chance...
However, he did not want Roseane to forgive him and be with him because of his kidneys.
Eliza was right. Love was not a bargaining chip for trade.
His kidneys were the same as well.
Therefore, after he found out that his kidney could be implanted into Mariam's body, he asked the doctor to set up such a scene for him.
He pretended that he had encountered a robber and that he had been stabbed.
This way, when Mariam had an operation a few days later and he was also injured at the same time, the Comtois family would not think of him.
"Doctor, how is Matthew?"
Coming out of the ward, Roseane went to the nurse station. After asking about Matthew's attending doctor's office, she directly knocked on the door and went in.
She was still worried about him.
Back then, for the sake of Beau, Matthew had fought against his uncle, Elias, alone. He had already been badly injured.
Matthew had been lectured by Mr. Williams last night.
He suffered another knife wound today...
She was really worried about Matthew's health.
Hearing Roseane's voice, the doctor who was writing the medical records raised his head.
Roseane was shocked to find that Matthew's attending doctor was actually the same person as her mother's attending doctor!
How could this be?
Roseane's mind went blank for a moment.
Matthew was suffering from external injuries, his mother was suffering from internal injuries, and the doctor was in charge of the treatment of his mother's kidney.
How could he be responsible for the trauma of Matthew after taking care of his mother's kidney?
Unless...
Unless Matthew's wound had already hurt his internal organs!
Thinking of this, she rushed over anxiously.
"Doctor, is Matthew's kidney hurt by the robbers?"
The doctor paused and then coughed softly. "No, no."
Faced with the doctor's perfunctory attitude, Roseane did not believe him at all.
"If Matthew's kidney is not injured, why are you his attending doctor?"
"This doesn't make sense at all!"
She nervously grabbed the doctor's arm.
"Tell me, what happened to his kidney?"
The doctor paused. He didn't expect Roseane to be so concerned about Matthew.
Why did Matthew say earlier that... Roseane was his ex-wife?
Would there be an ex-wife who's concerned about her ex-husband?
However, when he thought about it, he felt that it was understandable.
After all, Matthew, her ex-husband, was able to donate her kidney for her ex-wife, Roseane.
Since both of them cared about each other so much, why did they divorce?
Seeing that the doctor did not speak, Roseane became even more nervous.
"Please tell me, what happened to Matthew?"
"No matter what the result is, I can take it!"
The doctor paused and glanced at Roseane. "You can accept any result?"
Roseane nodded seriously.
She just needed to take care of Matthew, right?
She had taken care of him before!
The doctor cleared his throat.
