However, in the next moment, her expression darkened when she saw the marks on the man's neck.

“How could they do this to me?!

Did they both come here to show off and hurt me?' Bitter thoughts and envy filled the woman.

Erica's heart skipped a beat as well. She hadn't expected Matthew to visit the hospital. Did he come here to protect Phoebe?

“Why aren't you resting at home?" he asked calmly.

"How can she have the energy to come to the hospital? It seems that she's fine, ' he deduced.

Erica felt as though he was questioning her. So, she stood and snorted,

“Humph!" Then, she turned and stalked out of the ward.

Matthew followed her to the hallway outside, grabbed her wrist, spun her around, and said, "It seems that I failed Last night."

Puzzled, she asked, "Failed at what?"

Their eyes met. The man answered expressionlessly, "You had the strength to Leave the house. I need to work harder in bed."

It was then that he noticed that she had worn makeup today. While the tomato-red colored gloss added a mesmerizing shine to her lips, the slightly raised black eyeliner made her appear more mature. Matthew couldn't take his eyes off his wife!

A frown appeared on his forehead when he wondered why she needed makeup for a hospital visit.

He was sure that Erica had come here alone. Did she make this effort for Phoebe?

When he learned that she was going to the hospital, Matthew worried that Phoebe would make her suffer. And so, he had hurried over from the

Theo Group.

‘Work harder in bed? Oh, no! Does he have any idea of how difficult it was for me to come to the hospital? I may really have to use a wheelchair if he worked harder in bed!* “I'm going home now." Now that she had achieved her goal, Erica just wanted to catch up on sleep.

“Okay. I'll ask Owen to drive you home." Matthew didn't ask her to stay. After all, she should be resting at home.

“Ask Owen to drive me home?' Erica was unhappy with his proposal.

“Are you going to stay with Phoebe?" Envy laced her voice as she searched his face for the slightest hint of emotion.

“Did you have something else planned for me?"

Erica shook her head and tried to suppress the bitterness in her heart.

“No, I'm leaving now!" What else could she say? Erica didn't think that she could ask him not to stay with Phoebe. After all, she didn't believe that she was that important to Matthew.

She turned and took a step away from her husband.

Matthew cocked his head to the side when he noticed how strangely Erica was walking.
