Chapter 111: Chapter 111

“Matthew, did you just hear something?”

Ada’s voice was soft yet somewhat eerie, like a ghost. Her voice seemed to trigger the deepest fear in Matthew’s heart, making him pale, start sweating, and even almost faint.

He just shook his head.

Ada raised her hand and touched him on the head, and said, “Very good, good boy. You really didn’t hear anything just now. If you tell your dad the real cause of your sickness, I’d be mad. If you make me angry, you know what I’ll do to you.”

She ran her hand over Matthew’s head, causing him to shudder in horror. He was so shocked that tears almost fell from his eyes, and at that moment, it was as if he remembered something that had happened a long time ago. His eyes widened, and he opened his mouth several times but couldn’t make a sound.

Ada seemed to be satisfied with his frightened expression. She looked at the weak creature, sneered disdainfully, and said, “Don’t worry, little Matthew. If I become your mommy, I will be good to you. Don’t be afraid.”

After leaving work that afternoon, Wayne immediately went to the hospital to discharge Matthew and take him home. Ada, who had been at the hospital with Matthew all day, also got in the car.

“The doctor said Matthew’s digestive system is not good. So, he can’t eat at some small restaurants with low hygiene standard.”

Ada’s voice echoed in the car.

Lying in Wayne’s arms, Matthew secretly clenched his tiny fists but did not dare to speak.

Wayne nodded his head and said politely, “I know. Thank you.” “It’s okay. I really like Matthew, and I’d be sad if he gets sick.”

Wayne listened to her absentmindedly and kept looking out the window.

After he said some unpleasant words to Anna in the morning, she didn’t come back to the hospital anymore. He thought maybe he had been too mean to her.

Two days later, it was Saturday. Wayne stayed at home to take care of Matthew.

Matthew had stopped throwing up and having diarrhea, but he was still suffering from a fever. Therefore, Wayne did not let him go out but rest at home.

Matthew was an energetic child. Even though he was sick, he kept begging Wayne to take him to visit Anna and Tammy When Matthew first said this, Wayne didn’t care.

Later, because Matthew had said it too many times, Wayne had trouble sleeping at night and had insomnia for several days, Wayne was coaxing Matthew to eat breakfast when he heard a doorbell come from the door The sound echoed through the house, The maid hurried to open the door. Wayne then heard the maid’s startled voice coming from the door “Tammy?” “Hello, good morning!”

Tammy greeted the maid politely and then followed her into the house. “Mr. Wright, Matthew, Tammy is here.” “Uncle, good morning.”

Tammy C****d her head, looked at Matthew behind Wayne, and said, “Matthew, good morning.”

Wayne nodded and smiled at her.

Tammy waved her hand, then rested the large, insulated lunchbox in her hand on the steps. She sat down, took a deep breath, and said, “It’s so hot outside. I’m exhausted!”

Matthew immediately jumped out of his chair and rushed to Tammy’s side, gesturing at her.

Tammy blinked and thought before she understood and explained to him, “My mommy is home. She made a lot of desserts last night and asked me to bring them to you. Look, here you are.”

Tammy sat down and opened the big lunch box. There were four layers of compartments inside the lunchbox, and each layer contained a kind of pastry, all of which looked very delicious.

“Well, since I’ve given you the things, then I’ll leave.” She said as she stood up and was about to leave.

Matthew hurriedly pulled her sleeve and turned his head to look at Wayne, looking very anxious.

Wayne came over, bent down, looked down at Tammy, and asked, “Did you come by yourself?”

Tammy looked guilty but nodded anyway and said, “Yes.”

“Then, let me have someone take you back, okay? It’s not safe for you to go back by yourself.”

“No, thanks. I can go home by myself.”

Tammy looked deeply at Wayne, looked suddenly serious, and said, “But before I go, I want to explain something to you.”

“What?”

“That day at the barbecue, I ate a lot and Matthew ate very little. Yet, I was totally fine. You can’t hate my mommy because of this, and if you do, then I will dislike you.”

Wayne froze. Although he knew she was joking, it made him feel somewhat scared, as if he was really going to lose something in the next moment.

After Tammy left, Matthew gave Wayne a stern look and left with a box of snacks without leaving him a single piece.

Tammy walked out of the villa and looked around after pretending to be melancholy for a long time. After noticing that no one was looking at her, she ran up and walked to a car.

As soon as she got in, she gave a high five to the young man in the car. Tammy said happily “Ryan I’ve done my idh!”

The young man in the car raised his eyebrows and complimented, “Tammy, you’re great.”

“But, will that make mommy happy?”

“He will have apologize to your mom if he isn’t so stupid. In this way, your mom won’t be sad.”

“And what if he doesn’t apologize?” “Do you want a man who never apologizes to be your father?”

Tammy shook her head without hesitation and said, “No way! ” She knew that her mother would be devastated if Mr. Wright was really that kind of man.

Ryan patted her on the shoulder and said, “Right! I’m giving him this chance because your mother has been taking care of me and Matthew is sick. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have cared about him. There are plenty of men in the world.”

“Mommy didn’t do it for him, she did it because of Matthew.”

Hearing this, Ryan froze and asked, “Do you know why your mommy is so attached to that little guy? It’s not like he’s her own child. Even if it’s because she has a crush on Wayne, she doesn’t have to be so concerned about him.”

“That’s just because Matthew is of the same age as my brother!”

After Tammy accidentally blurted out, she covered her mouth. Her eyes widened, and she said in a muffled voice, “I didn’t say anything.”

Ryan stared at Tammy for a long time and asked, “I heard you. Do you have a brother?” “No.”

“Well, then, I’m going to ask Anna myself. And, I’m going to tell her that you told me about this.”

Tammy pouted and immediately tugged on Ryan’s sleeve. She acted as if she was afraid he would ask in the next minute and looked very nervous. She said, “Mommy cries every time she mentions my brother, so please don’t ask her about him.”

“You really have a brother, huh?” Tammy had to tell the truth. She said sadly, “It’s complicated.”
