Chapter 158 Arrest This Vicious Woman!
Mary shoved Cindy aside and stormed in.
"You can't go in!" Cindy tried to grab her, but Shirley stepped in. "What are you doing? Trying to push me? I'll sue you if I fall!"
Cindy's eyes widened. "You're being ridiculous!"
Shirley lifted her chin, keeping a wary eye on Cindy.
Inside the room, Richard, Linda, and Herman anxiously watched Matthew on the bed.
Matthew slowly opened his eyes, his handsome face pale and sickly.
"Matthew, thank God you're awake! You scared me!" Richard sighed in relief.
Herman asked, "How do you feel?"
Matthew furrowed his brows, his voice muffled through the oxygen mask. "I'm fine."
Linda chimed in, "Matthew, it's such a relief you're okay. You have no idea how worried your dad was when you got poisoned. Mary stood outside the ward all night. But how did you get poisoned? What did you eat?"
As Linda spoke, the room's atmosphere grew tense.
Matthew's dark eyes flashed coldly, his voice hoarse. "Where's Mary?"
"Matthew." Mary rushed in, tears streaming down her face. She threw herself by his bedside. "You're awake? Are you okay? Any discomfort?"
Seeing him awake, Mary's long-held tension finally eased. She clutched his hand tightly, seeking warmth.
"Who let her in?" Richard's face darkened.
Linda quickly said, "Honey, Mary is his wife. Now that he's awake, they need to talk." She tried to pull Richard away.
But Matthew's hoarse voice cut through the tension. "Mary, do you hate me that much?"
Linda's eyebrows shot up in surprise while Richard's expression grew even grimmer, and Herman's brows knitted tightly.
Mary was stunned. "What... what do you mean?"
Did he really think she poisoned him?
Matthew yanked his hand away, looking at her with disappointment. "I misjudged you."
Mary's face went even paler. She struggled to stay calm, her fingers curling up. "Matthew, are you out of your mind? Listen to yourself!"
"I don't want to see you," Matthew weakly said, closing his eyes.
"Matthew!" Mary's emotions were almost out of control, her eyes filled with unbearable bitterness as she tried to hold back tears. "Explain yourself! Do you really think I'm that malicious? Do you think I would harm you?"
"Get her out, now!" Richard's voice was icy. "Matthew is so weak, and you shouting at him like this, now I believe it was you who poisoned him. Call the police, arrest this vicious woman!"
