Selina had no idea what to do.
Matthew stretched out his hand and helped the waiter up.
"Men do not kneel easily." His voice was gentle.
The waiter trembled while standing up, and he looked like he was about to cry.
Matthew patted the waiter's shoulder and said, "It's okay, young man."
After that, he looked at Selina. "Selina, let's go."
Selina followed Matthew out of the restaurant.
As soon as they stepped outside, Matthew frowned, which brought Selina back to reality.
She pulled Matthew into the car.
She drove the car as she thought that it would be too painful for him to drive when she saw the look on his face.
She drove to the hospital nearby.
The doctor treated the burn marks on Matthew's leg.
"The burns are very severe. Fortunately, you made it here in time. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable," said the doctor.
Hearing this, Selina was scared.
She knew that Matthew had been seriously burned, but she really didn't expect it to be so serious.
On the contrary, it was Matthew who tried to comfort her. "It's fine. There's no need to worry. Just treat the wound and it'll be fine."
She glared at him with teary eyes. "It's not okay. You might have been disabled if we were late."
Matthew couldn't help laughing. "It's not that serious."
"It's so serious!" She stomped her feet and said, "And you can still play around. Aren't you worried about it at all?"
Seeing how angry she was, Matthew felt warm in his heart.
He knew that Selina was worrying about him.
Matthew couldn't help but stand up. He embraced her and said, "Silly girl, I am just afraid that you will worry about me more."
When she saw Matthew stand up, she was shocked.
"Why are you getting up? Sit down quickly."
"I'm fine. The wound can still be treated while standing."
"No, sit down quickly." She was getting anxious.
"If you stop being mad at me, I will sit down."
"Fine. I'm not angry with you anymore," She said.
Only then did Matthew sit down. The doctor continued kneeling down to treat his wound.
Although she said that she was not angry anymore, she couldn't help but look at Matthew reproachfully, "It was clearly so serious, but you still said to the waiter that it was okay."
Matthew said in a deep voice, "He didn't do it on purpose. And to me, it is nothing more than a temporary pain. But for him, it may be a disaster."
Selina froze.
She understood what Matthew meant.
Matthew was not an ordinary person. If he wanted to make a scene out of it, it might ruin the waiter's life.
Her mind was racing.
She had always known that Matthew was a good person. At this moment, she was even more aware of how great Matthew was.
Although he was in the upper class, he still cared for those in the lower class. There was no one else who could do the same but Matthew.
Selina couldn't help but mutter, "How can you be so kind, Matthew?"
Matthew smiled and said, "The world involves countless people and we are a whole. Being good to others also brings benefit to ourselves."
Selina couldn't fully understand.
She said, "I just know you are a good person, a very good one."
After the doctor applied the medicine to Matthew's wound, he said that there was still a possibility of infection. He recommended an injection, and an IV drip after that.
At first, they decided to spend time chatting during the process of waiting for the IV drip.
However, it happened that the drip contained substances that would induce sleep. Matthew became drowsy.
"Why don't you rest for a bit? I'll be right beside you," said Selina.
Matthew fought the drowsiness and said, "I'll chat with you."
Selina would not let him do it, as he was obviously sleepy.
"But I want to scroll through social media. I don't want to chat with you anymore," She said deliberately.
