Selina felt as if her heart was being twisted.
Cecilia knew everything now.
"Mom, let me explain it to you outside," Selina pleaded.
"You'd better give me a clear explanation," Cecilia refused to leave the ward.
"Madam," Matthew spoke again.
However, just after saying that, he suddenly bent forward and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing that smear of blood, Selina's world was spinning.
When she was about to rush over, she realised that Saoirse was already wiping Matthew's lips.
"William, please don't scare me. I don't want anything to happen to you. You should just ignore that vicious woman," Saoirse was crying as she wiped Matthew's lips.
"Who are you calling a vicious woman?!" Cecilia said angrily.
"Is that not you? William was already getting better. William was so provoked by you that he was spitting blood," Saoirse shouted at Cecilia.
Hearing Saoirse arguing with Cecilia, Selina was seeing stars.
Her legs went numb, and she was about to fall, but Tobias held her steady.
Selina looked at Tobias, and her eyes turned red. "Tobias, I'm going crazy; I'm going to go nuts."
Tobias supported her out and got her to sit on the bench. "Sit here. I'll ask Mom to come out. We can tackle one problem at a time. Don't be anxious. The more you panic, the more chaotic it will be."
In the ward, Saoirse and Cecilia were still arguing with each other.
Matthew wanted to stop them, but he could do nothing. It was like that was something entangled in his head, and it made it hard for him to even breathe.
Tobias strode in. "Have you guys had enough? Matthew is already in such a state. Both you arguing would trigger him even more."
Saoirse and Cecilia suddenly stopped arguing.
Saoirse looked at Matthew and saw that his expression had changed.
She panicked, "William, are you okay?"
Tobias said in a cold voice, "If you want to let Matthew live a little longer, it's better for you to come out. Don't disturb him."
After a moment of hesitation, Saoirse finally walked out of the room.
Cecilia also came out.
Tobias's gaze fell on Saoirse.
This was the first time he was meeting Saoirse in person.
Saoirse was gorgeous, indescribably beautiful. Tobias suddenly understood why Selina would worry that much.
"Miss Saoirse," Tobias called her name, "Is this what you want? Eight years ago, you made Matthew marry you when he wasn't in a state to control his own decisions. Yet, now you're still messing his whole life up. Is this what you want?"
Saoirse was startled.
Tobias's eyes were locked onto Saoirse, and his gaze was like it was going to stab right through Saoirse.
His gaze made Saoirse feel exposed.
She suddenly wanted to escape. She had never been a strong woman. Under such a powerful gaze, she subconsciously thought of wanting to escape.
Right at that moment, she lowered her eyes, and she suddenly stopped short.
Caroline's words appeared in her head.
Why should she try to escape?
She was never in the wrong.
