A Beauty with Multiple Masks novel Chapter 1735

For reasons unknown, Matthew reflexively wanted to turn Nancy down when he heard that she wanted a favor from him, but ultimately, he held himself back from uttering whatever he was on the cusp of saying.

“What is it?”

Matthew’s response was rather muted. He might be inclined to help if it was a modest request but reckoned that he might not be able to handle anything beyond that.

“I’ve been badly burned in the fire. That little bastard Aaron has stationed men at all the hospitals and clinics demanding to screen every person coming in to purchase medication for burns or receive treatment for it. So I…”

Matthew caught the gist of what she was trying to convey even before she was done talking.

Aaron’s maneuvers are intended to flush out her whereabouts. It would seem that that fire was set by her rescuers, who did not expect things to get so out of hand that Nancy herself had gotten hurt in the process.

“Got it. I’ll try to get you those meds.”

After he hung up, Matthew then wracked his brains trying to figure out how he might be able to get his hands on what she needed.

Must l burn myself in order to get that medication to send to her?

Two days later, Sonia was discharged from the ICU. She immediately burst into tears the second she caught sight of Harvey.

While she was bleeding out and close to death, the one person she could not bear to leave behind was neither her aged parents nor her newborn child, but that man whom she had dated for barely a few months prior.

“Why are you crying? Are you hurting somewhere?” Upon seeing her sniveling, Harvey used his fingers to brush away her tears before kissing her gently on her face.

“Where is the baby? How is he doing?” Sonia asked softly.

“He’s doing great. Eating well and sleeping soundly too.”

Harvey regarded her with affection in his eyes. “Thank you, Darling, for everything you had to go through to bear me a child.”

Following that, he placed a bouquet of fresh roses in her hands. Those roses she was presented with, coupled with hearing Harvey’s words, left Sonia profoundly moved.
