Camille's hand fell weakly. She took a deep breath while tears kept falling down the corners of her eyes. Shaking her head, she said in a frail voice, "I'm sorry. It just hurts a lot. If I have known it earlier, I shouldn't have blocked my body to take those bullets for you."

Matthew could understand the regret in her eyes, so he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he just put his hands in his pockets without saying anything. He was looking forward to washing his hands immediately.

ALL of a sudden, the door burst open.

The loud noise made the three people inside the ward turn their heads in an instant.

Erica stood at the door with a cold expression on her face, followed by a bodyguard behind her.

As soon as Matthew saw her, his first reaction was to greet her,

"Rika." His voice was full of tenderness, totally different from the tone he used to Camille just now.

However, Erica just ignored him and walked up straight to the bedside.

Without minding the nurse who was still putting the dressing, she raised her hand and slapped Camille's face heavily.

Pak!

It happened so suddenly that neither Camille nor the nurse was able to move. Even Matthew was stunned for a moment.

“Erica, what did you just do?" someone yelled from behind. The voice didn't come from any of the three people inside the ward. It came from

Fanya, who had just arrived.

She came in just in time to see how Erica had slapped her daughter.

Erica turned to her and gave her the coldest stare that Matthew had never seen before. She wasn't afraid of facing Fanya at all. She replied with a sneer, “What do you think I just did? The Campbell family has indeed raised three hypocritical bitches. Since you, as their mother, failed to raise them properly, I will help you teach them a lesson. Otherwise, they will continue to destroy other families in this country."

Fanya and Camille were both stunned at her words. They didn't expect that Erica was that plucky. But since Matthew was there, Fanya didn't dare to ignore his presence. She reluctantly nodded at him before coming over beside Camille's bed.

She then said to Erica, “Erica, how can you be so ungrateful? Camille took two bullets for Matthew, and you didn't even thank her. Instead, you hit and scolded her. Do you really think that the members of the

Campbell family are easy to bully?”

It was only now that Erica found out the reason why Camille was hurt.

But even so, she didn't give a damn.

"So, do you think being hurt because of my husband gives her all the right to hold his hand, not wanting to let go?" she blurted. She was so furious, especially when she remembered that Matthew also didn't even shake off Camille's hand.

She would definitely settle accounts with him later as well.

“The nurse is applying medicine to my wound and changing the dressing.

Do you know how painful it is without anesthesia? Why don’t you try it yourself?" Camille said calmly.

Erica seemed to be a different person today. Fanya and Camille didn't make her panic at all. Looking at the mark of her fingers on Camille's face, she retorted, "Don't blame my husband for your pain! Besides, no one told you to take those bullets for him. And my husband cares so much for me that he surely won't Let that happen to me. If it happened to be me on the scene, I'm sure that he would protect me. I don't need to be like a pest and take the bullets for him as you did."
