“Matthew found out that I was the one who sent you the roses, so I ended up like this." There was an unreadable emotion in Watkins’ eyes as he said those words.

But what he said was like a bomb that exploded in Erica's ears. Her body shivered as she asked cautiously, "Do you mean it was Matthew who did this to you?" ‘Why didn't I know anything?’ she wondered inwardly.

Before Watkins could answer, Paige came and quickly handed her the phone.

“Erica, Matthew wants to talk to you.”

She took the phone from Paige in a daze and reflexively said, "Hello?"

“Since you are done with your checkup, let Paige drive you home now.

Don't go somewhere else anymore." There was no emotion in Matthew's voice.

Erica first turned to Watkins, who had been beaten black and blue, before she said in a low voice, "I heard that Watkins is in this hospital too, so I came to check on him. I didn't expect that he is seriously injured."

"I did it," he admitted bluntly.

She bit her lower lip to suppress the anger that boiled up in her heart and asked, "Why did you do it? Just because he sent me those roses?"

“How can Matthew be this ruthless?' she thought angrily.

"Yes."

“You are so cruel!"

His eyes turned cold as ice when she called him cruel. He could even be more ruthless.

“Whoever dares to covet my wife must die," he said through clenched teeth.

She trembled at his words. This was her first time to discover his horrible side.

“Erica, you better stop arguing with me over an irrelevant man.

Otherwise, I might do something more savage to him."

Matthew spoke in his usual low voice, but it sounded cold and cruel to her ears.

As Watkins heard their conversation, he said in a trembling voice,

“Erica, you may Leave now. I want to have a good rest."

Erica hung up the phone and gave it back to Paige. The assistant said,

“Erica, Matthew told me to send you back home."

“Wait a moment," she answered. She then turned and walked towards the bed.

"Watkins, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault.”
