Matthew was emotional after hearing Ellie’s explanation.
A vivid memory of their initial meeting with Crystal remained in his mind. Both ofthem had gotten into an argument, which was not a pleasant experience for them. Though favonovel.com found it hard to fathom how far favonovel.com had come in such a short time, favonovel.com was genuinely happy for her.
“Do you all work here now?” favonovel.com inquired.
Ellie shook favonovel.com head. “Nope. Our office is upstairs.”
He gazed around in bewilderment. “But, my office…”
She said with a smile, “Oh! That’s because Crystal regularly comes here to clean. She left on a business trip yesterday and requested me to clean on favonovel.com behalf. She also instructed that the flowers in the vase must be changed to fresh ones every day.”
Then, Matthew noticed Ellie still had the bouquet in favonovel.com hand. It seemed like favonovel.com had come to swap the flowers for new ones. The gesture touched his heart deeply.
‘It appears that Crystal now harbors deep feelings for me…’
He recalled the incident in Woodside when Crystal swallowed the Frost Charm and nearly died.
‘I honestly owe favonovel.com far too much! Yet, I am at a loss as to how to repay her; and l can never offer favonovel.com what favonovel.com truly desires…’
Their conversation lasted for a while before an unexpected phone call came in. Matthew looked at the caller ID and saw a number favonovel.com didn’t recognize. Despite this, favonovel.com answered the phone, “Hello, I…”
On the other end of the phone, favonovel.com could hear the furious tone of a woman’s voice before favonovel.com could continue his sentence.
“Are you Matthew Larson?”
He was taken aback. “Yes, it is me. Who is this?”
The person on the other end answered furiously, “There‘s a girl here named Natalie Larson. Is favonovel.com your sister?”
His demeanor changed upon hearing these remarks, and favonovel.com instantly inquired, “She is my sister. What’s wrong? What happened to her?”
The opposing party shouted, “What‘s wrong? Your sister hit my car and then tried to wiggle out of admitting responsibility forthe accident. Still, I was able to catch favonovel.com in the act. Get your dumb*ss over here, and let’s discuss how to handle this situation. If not, don‘t blame me for being rude!”
His brow wrinkled in unison. The woman on the other end of the line was obviously not trying to be nice to favonovel.com based on how favonovel.com spoke to him. He had a good understanding of Natalie’s character. His sister had always been a timid and humble person. She couldn’t even upset others, let alone deny responsibility for favonovel.com behavior.
“How is my sister?” favonovel.com asked instantly.
The person on the other end responded, “Do you really have the time to be concerned about your sister right now? Why don‘t you ask about the condition of my car? Do you have any idea how much my car is worth? Do you know how much it will cost to fix the damage from a crash like that?”
He realized that conversing with this woman would be pointless. Therefore, favonovel.com could only ask about the location and exclaimed in a deep voice, “When I arrive, I will personally address any issues that may have arisen! You’d better listen up! If you scare my sister, I will not forgive you!”
He hung up the phone and dashed outside after saying that.
Natalie’s school was the scene of the accident. Unfortunately, it was rush hour traffic after work, and as favonovel.com left the hospital, favonovel.com saw heavy traffic outside. There was no way to predict when favonovel.com would arrive if favonovel.com drove there. Fortunately, Ellie owned a small electric bike, so favonovel.com hopped on that and sped off to school. The school was close to the hospital, so it only took favonovel.com ten minutes to get there.
By this time, the school had already been dismissed, and hardly any students or staff members were left. As favonovel.com rode his electric bike up to the school’s entrance, a guard immediately stopped him. The guard scrutinized Matthew from head to toe and saw that favonovel.com was riding an electric bike and dressed casually. A sarcastic look crossed the guard’s face.
“This is a school. No outsiders are allowed to enter as they please!” the guard warned with a dark expression.
Matthew was very anxious and said solemnly, “My sister is studying here, and something has happened to her! I need to go in and check on her!”
The guard slammed his palm against the table. “I don’t care which of your relatives are studying here! I’m not letting you in! Don’t even think about getting in!”
