Dolores was dumbfounded. There was no anesthetic in the first aid box. Even if there was, she wouldn’t know how to use it. She was unfamiliar with medication but she knew at least that anesthetic must be administered by a doctor.
So how will she stop the pain?
“Why, why don’t you go to the hospital? I see that your injury is rather serious…”
The hot and humid breath enveloped them. Her mouth was shut at the next moment and Dolores was stunned for a moment. She raised her hand but he grasped her hand before she could push him and prevented her from moving. His kiss was more intense than before. Dolores’ body tensed up and closed her eyes to savor the taste and wondered if it was the same as that night. At that moment, her heart pounded strongly as if it could jump out of her chest at any time.
She wanted to forget that night but yet clearly remembered the feeling. Compared to Matthew, she remembered it clearly but Matthew was in a daze. He was barely aware of the surroundings and unclear of the details of that night. He barely felt what was going on and only knew that he had sex with a woman and ruined her innocence. He was responsible for her.
The desires that Dolores gave him was perfect and something that Helen had never given him.
“Aren’t you scared?” His eyes were exceptionally attractive like it was full of water, sparkling and deep. He looked at her profoundly, “Don’t you know that it was very dangerous?”
He was very surprised that she would lunge over to him.
Dolores held her breath. Scared, how could she not be scared? Except in that situation, she did it without much consideration. If she had thought about it calmly for three seconds, perhaps she wouldn’t do it.
Now she was wondering about how Beulah could do something without considering the consequences. What triggered her to do these? Did something happen when Matthew visited to the Flores family with her the other day?
Matthew’s gaze looked towards her moist lips and although she still despised him, it was not as bad as the past. Was she getting used to his kiss?
“What’s on your mind?” Matthew took over the bandage and covered his wound.
Dolores was distracted and saw that he was bandaging his wound and said, “You have not cleaned the wound…”
“It’s okay.” He calmly said.
Dolores looked at his actions and said aloud her doubts, “Has Beulah lost her mind? To think that she dared to cause trouble over here...That day, did you touch…”
Matthew looked coldly and profoundly at her. What did she mean? Did she doubt him?
This was a mystery to Dolores for Beulah to cause so much trouble with no regard for her own safety. Definitely something big had happened otherwise she wouldn’t behave in such an insane manner.
“I didn’t!” He practically shouted. What did she take him for? Did she think that he’ll sleep with any woman?
“Then why was she here to cause trouble and seems to be after your life? Although what she did was very foolish, she wouldn’t have done something so insane if she had not been forced to the limit.”
Dolores couldn’t figure it out but Matthew knew that it must be involved with Randolph. His eyes darkened. Matthew didn’t say anything and Dolores thought that he didn’t know.
“It’s okay. I’ll go to do my work now.” She remained doubtful and packed up the first aid kit. Matthew acknowledged, thought about something, and reminded her, “Randolph might look for you in these couple of days.”
Dolores froze and turned to look at him, “How do you know?”
After she said, she seemed to realize something, “Were you involved in what happened to the Flores group?” She didn’t know the details but she was certain that it had something to do with Matthew. Otherwise, Beulah wouldn’t be so insane.
“Why did you do it?” Dolores did not pity Beulah nor Randolph but she didn’t understand Matthew’s actions.
Matthew scoffed, “You endured her abuses but don’t allow me to flex my muscles?”
Dolores took a deep breath and pondered about which night’s issue was this grudge based on? She thought about it quietly and then decided that this man cannot be offended.
Just as Dolores packed up the first aid kit and was about to leave the office, someone knocked on the door.
