Matthew helped Cillian onto his wheelchair and pushed him out of the ward. As they left, Matthew did not forget to smile and playfully joke with Lucy, “Wifey, I’m taking Cillian out for a walk. You should get some rest and don’t overexert yourself. It’s not good for your recovery.”
Meanwhile, Cillian had a deadpan expression on his face in the wheelchair.
What the hell was this guy saying?
What did he mean by talking Cillian out for a walk? Matthew made it sound like he was taking a dog out for a walk.
Cillian was burning with anger, but at the thought of Spades, he had no choice but to endure it.
If it were not for Lucy’s situation, he would have settled things with this guy today.
In the ward, Lucy was bewildered. Why could they not discuss whatever they wanted to discuss here? Why did Matthew have to push a grown man out?
She simply could not understand it, so she decided not to dwell on it. Instead, she lay down, covered herself with a blanket, and closed her eyes.
Perhaps it was just men talk. She was somewhat familiar with Cillian, her class representative, but as for Matthew…
After pondering for a while, Lucy drifted off into a deep sleep.
…
However, it was strange that Matthew did not know about them. Cillian rolled his eyes and mocked him, “Why is it that even someone of your caliber is unaware of Spades' background? It seems like you should retire from being the world’s top businessman.”
Matthew was not pleased to hear that. “What do you mean by that? At least I know something. What about you? You don’t know anything at all.”
This hit a nerve with Cillian. He did not know how to retort, so he decided to change the subject. “Let’s not talk about the organization for now. Do you have any way to protect Lucy from harm?”
Matthew pursed his lips, and his eyes were filled with frustration. “I can reinforce the security around my wife, but it’s impossible to guarantee absolute safety. There'll always be some loopholes. Plus, this organization is notorious for being like hunting wolves. They can wait patiently for their target for up to ten years before delivering a final attack.”
Cillian rolled his eyes. “After all that talk, you’re basically saying you have no solution to this.”
