Matthew didn't like spicy food, so she naturally thought that Selina had finished up the peels.
On the other hand, Selina pointed at Matthew and said, "Erine, I only ate a little of it. Matthew ate the rest of it."
Erine was rendered speechless.
She opened her eyes wide.
Matthew ate all of it?
How was it possible? Master Perry never ate spicy food.
Erine couldn't help but said, "Master Perry, how did you eat so much of it? This is quite spicy. You've never liked spicy food, so you shouldn't have been able to stand it."
"I'm fine."
"This, this..." Erine was a little anxious.
The ingredient she put in the dish was a type of chili with a very strong after taste. She was really worried that Matthew would not be able to stand it.
At that moment, Matthew's handsome face suddenly froze.
He felt a throbbing pain spread in his stomach, faint beads of sweat could be seen on Matthew's forehead.
Matthew looked at Erine with a bitter smile, "I think there's really something wrong."
Matthew was sent to the hospital.
Fortunately, it was nothing serious. It was just because he ate too much spicy food in one sitting.
Although the situation wasn't serious, he still needed to have an IV drip. Moreover, due to Matthew's special identity, everything needed to be handled carefully, so he had to stay in the hospital for observation for a night.
Looking at Matthew lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, Selina didn't know why but she suddenly felt guilty.
She knew that Matthew couldn't eat spicy food, but she made him eat it on purpose. She had just wanted to torture Matthew.
However, she did not expect this man to be so lame that he had to go to the hospital instantly after that.
Looking at Matthew's situation, Selina started to think whether she had gone too far.
"Matthew, actually, you don't have to do this." Selina looked at Matthew's hand that was connected to the IV drip.
She bit her lip. Her voice was very light.
Matthew chuckled.
"Selina, it's not easy to touch a person's heart." The man's voice was low and attractive.
There was a flash of astonishment in Selina's eyes.
Her gaze fell upon Matthew's face.
Matthew continued, "How in the world could I touch your heart without going through all this suffering?"
Since the beginning, he had known Selina's intentions when she asked him to eat that dish.
"You wanted me to be touched..." Selina felt her eyelashes trembled heavily as she blinked.
Looking sincere and serious, Matthew replied, "Selina, it was my fault for what had happened that night. I've promised that I would compensate you for the rest of my life, so there's no need for you to feel guilty."
Selina recalled something in her mind instantly.
When Matthew mentioned that night's incident again, the guilt in her heart suddenly vanished completely.
Hah! She just remembered about what happened that night!
Matthew schemed with Dylan to bring her to his bed, and he had also drugged her.
What was there for Selina to feel guilty about? A despicable man like this?
All he did was just ate some spicy food which stimulated some stomach pain. Selina didn't have to feel guilty about that at all!
The harm that Matthew did to her was far too much compared to that!
She warned herself secretly, "You can't start being softhearted, you can't feel guilty, Selina."
She definitely couldn't.
Selina's eyes, initially a little blurry, suddenly became clear, to the point that only determination was left within her gaze.
Suddenly, she smiled and sneered slightly, "Actually, it's just a small matter. You just needed an IV drip, that's all."
Speaking of this, she rubbed her eyes and said, "By the way, I need to go back now. Take your time here."
"No, you can't." Matthew suddenly said.
Selina was stunned.
