"Please proceed to the payment counter with the slip."
Natasha looked at the payment slip and saw that it only included the cost of one medication. Everything else had already been paid for.
She tried to snap a photo to send to Zachary as she walked, and she eventually bumped into someone.
"Natasha? What a coincidence, huh? Are you seriously stalking me after you learn that Nicole and I are getting married?"
Natasha looked up to find Matthew's condescending look. She could not help but wonder how someone could grow up to be so utterly shameless.
"Don't flatter yourself. I couldn't care less even if you're marrying a stray dog."
She looked down and saw that she had accidentally sent the video to Zachary. She quickly tried to delete the message.
"Women never ever speak their mind, huh? It's too late for you to regret now, but if you're willing to talk to me politely, I might still invite you to the wedding."
The smug look on Matthew's face only left Natasha with a huge question. She could not comprehend how Matthew would think that all the women in the world revolved around him.
"You should be more careful, you know? You don't even realize that you're being tricked."
Natasha couldn't be bothered to argue with him any further. She finished making the payment and left the hospital.
Nicole approached Matthew and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Matthew? Why do you look so upset?"
The two were at the hospital for medical exams as part of the pre-wedding preparations.
They were busy with the marriage back then and had only managed to find the time for it now.
"Nothing. Just ran into someone I didn't want to see."
…
"You were just discharged and haven't fully recovered, so don't worry about coming in for work just yet."
