Matthew followed the doctor out of the ward and Listened to his report.
“Mr. Matthew, Mrs. Hilton has a high fever right now. She has a slight bruise on her hand, but everything else is fine."
The gloom in Matthew's eyes didn't fade. He said lightly, “Thank you doctor."
"You're welcome, Mr. Matthew. Let Mrs. Hilton get some good rest. After the infusion, you can take her home if her fever goes down by then.”
“Alright ."
After the doctor turned around and left, Matthew's phone vibrated in his pocket. It was Gifford.
Matthew answered the phone.
"Gifford?"
“What happened to Rika? How is she now?" Gifford asked anxiously.
Through the glass window of the ward, Matthew gazed at the sleeping girl in the hospital bed and said in a low voice, “Some people bullied her on campus. She has a high fever. She just fell asleep."
“Bullied on campus?" There was a trace of disbelief in Gifford's voice.
“How dare someone treat Rika violently! Did they do this realizing who she was?' he wondered angrily.
“Don't worry. I will look into it." Matthew wasn't going to rest until he punished all those who were involved in this incident.
“Okay. Call me if you need any help.”
“I will."

Gifford sighed and answered, "She was bullied
Blair gasped and Wesley froze. He gritted his teeth and snarled, “She was such an arrogant brat when she was with us. And yet, she has become a victim of bullying in Alorith. Who had the audacity to touch my daughter?" Grumbling something seemingly dangerous under his breath, he started to head upstairs.
Blair grabbed his arm and asked, “Where are you going?"
“To get my weapon and kill the bastards who hurt my daughter!" Wesley doted on his daughter. He wanted nothing more than to beat the shit out of those who had bullied his precious girl
“Dad, relax. Do you think Matthew will just sit by and let them go?"
Gifford said calmly. Matthew was not a man to be trifled with. He wouldn't sit by and watch after something like this happened to his wife.
Wesley calmed down and told Gifford, "Tell Matthew not to go easy on those assholes. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens!"
Gifford stood up from his chair and said, “You don't have to take any responsibility. If Matthew can't handle even this, why did you marry
