Chapter 294 The Affectionate Look in His Eyes
"Mat..." Melisa lowered her voice. "I understand your intentions, but our mother would be sad if she knew you lied to her."
Mathew was also worried.
Looking up, he sighed and said, "I know the truth will come out eventually, but our mother is not recovering yet. I'll tell her the truth when she's feeling better."
"Okay. I hope our mother won't be too sad when she finds out the truth."
"Well. Mum will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. When she goes back home, I'll take some time off to spend more time with her," said Mathew.
Melisa nodded her head and said, "Mat, as long as you stay with Mum, I'm sure she'll recover quickly."
"Thanks to Professor Greer. Our mother is recovering. Norah was the one who got Professor Greer, and not only did Norah promise to be my fake girlfriend, but she did our mother a huge favor. Now think about it. Don't you think what you said to her was too much?"
Mathew mentioned Norah in a roundabout way.
"Mat, I feel a bit sorry for her, but it's not all my fault. I didn't even know you guys were a fake couple. I'd assumed she was my future sister-in-law."
"Think about it! As your sister, it was calm enough for me to be like this after I bumped into my future sister-in-law cheating on you."
"What about now? Now that you already know the truth, shouldn't you go and apologize to her?"
Melisa immediately lowered her head. She remained silent after a long time.
She had said so many harsh words. She and Norah had pretty much fallen out. She was too proud to apologize to Norah even if her brother told her to.
"You don't want to go and apologize to her?" Mathew asked patiently, seeing through her.
"It's not that I don't want to go. I just feel awkward. It's so embarrassing."
Mathew patted her on the shoulder and said carefully, "Melisa, Norah is not an unreasonable person. Before I came here, Norah didn't explain even though she was very aggrieved. And she didn't even fight back against you."
"All she needs is an apology from you. Trust me. She'll accept it."
"Really?"
"Well, I promise."
"Okay then, Mat. I'll go apologize to her, but will you accompany me?"
"Okay."
After Mathew and Melisa had a discussion, they walked towards the stairway.
Not far away, Kaitlyn slowly made her way back to the ward with her haggard body propped up.
Thinking about the scene she had just seen, she suddenly gasped for air. Her heart ached.
She had just had surgery not long ago. Her heartache was not a good sign.
Holding on to her breath, she immediately pressed the emergency button.
Janet had just reached the door moments before she heard the alarm. It scared her so much that she frantically ran towards the ward on her heels.
She was extremely scared.
"Mum, what's wrong?" Janet asked as she dropped her handbag and ran frantically to Kaitlyn.
Kaitlyn's face was pale. She was breathing heavily.
Although Janet was always calm, she was so anxious that her palms were sweating.
Luckily, the doctor arrived just in time. After giving her a physical examination, the doctor installed an oxygen bottle for Kaitlyn to let her breathe oxygen for a while.
After a few minutes, Kaitlyn's breathing became normal. Her heartbeat also returned to normal.
"Mum, the doctor said all your vital signs returned to normal. How are you feeling? Does your heart still ache?" Janet bent down and asked in a gentle voice.
