Chapter 199
The employee at Leon Corporation had just been hung up on and was feeling unsure. Should she tell Mr. Leon about the call? The man on the other end had warned that if the CEO did not hear about this and the news turned out to be true, there would be trouble.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
The woman took a deep breath and dialed the CEO's private line. This number was usually only dialed by the supervisors. Even though everyone knew it, no one else ever dared to dial it.
This was her first time making such a call, and she was really nervous.
The call was answered quickly, and Matthew's clear voice came through. "What is it?"
The sound of the CEO's cold voice made the employee worry even more. She wondered if she might lose her job for sharing this news.
With her heart pounding, she said to the CEO, "I just got a call. A man named Cillian said he and your wife got into a car accident. They're at the First People's Hospital now, and he said you should come fast."
There was a brief silence on the line, then the sound of things being moved around. Matthew's voice was filled with worry as he said, "What did you just say? She's been in an accident?"
The employee felt a chill run down her spine, but she had to say it again for Matthew. "Yes, the man who called, Cillian, said he was with your wife when it happened..."
She was still talking when suddenly, the phone went dead. The receptionist looked up to see Matthew rushing out the door. He was only wearing a white shirt. He had forgotten his suit jacket and tie in his haste.
Cillian was peeling an orange, bored out of his mind. He kept stealing glances at Lucy's calm face. He wanted to enjoy the view before Matthew showed up and ruined it.
He had just popped half an orange into his mouth when the hospital ward door flew open with a loud bang.
Without much surprise, Cillian saw Matthew and greeted him coolly, "Oh, you're here."
Matthew did not even glance at
Cillian. He walked straight to Lucy's bedside, his heart sinking at the sight of her pale lips. "How did Lulu end
up like this? She was just fine."
"You dare to feel sorry for her?" Cillian snapped. "This wouldn't have happened if it weren't for you."
Matthew's eyes were icy as he
stared at Cillian. "What are you talking about? Why was she in an accident and with you? What did you mean by that?"
Cillian was not scared. He knew this man had hurt the woman he loved. Annoyed, he explained, "Lucy and I were out having fun when a big truck crashed into us.
"There was a spade symbol at the scene. Looks like it was an assassination attempt by the Spade Organization, doesn't it?"
Cillian was upset again. "I left Lucy in your care. Is this how you're supposed to look after her?
"You didn't keep her safe, and now she's in a heap of trouble."
"Be quiet!" Matthew snapped, giving him a frosty look.
"Lucy's your wife; your weak spot, right?"
