Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 687

The board members were left astounded as they watched Matthias disappear from their sight without any explanation. Such a situation had never occurred before.

Lara gripped the ballpen tightly as she watched Matthias leave in a hurry. There was only one person in this world that could make Matthias be as flustered as he was now—that person was Heather.

Lara’s hate for the woman named Heather was gradually increasing. She couldn’t understand what exactly was so good about Heather that could make Matthias behave this inferior. In fact, she might not abhor Heather that much if Heather and Matthias came out as a couple, but she had witnessed over and over again how mean Heather was to Matthias.

No one could withstand the person of their dreams being fooled around as such by another woman. Lara thought Matthias was out of Heather’s league, and she was determined to teach Heather a lesson.

In order to reach the hospital in the shortest time, Matthias dashed out and hailed a cab. Being a bundle of nerves, he didn’t want to waste any more time to get his car from the basement.

Matthias loosened his tie in the cab as he felt like he couldn’t catch his breath. He was distressed at the thought that Heather was lying alone in the hospital at this instant. She was always a healthy person, so why would she be admitted to the hospital by an ambulance all of a sudden?

Matthias was dying to be able to fly to the hospital in the blink of an eye. He resented himself for suppressing his feelings and being in a cold war with Heather for the past few days. It was merely a few days since he stopped contacting Heather, yet such a big incident had happened.

Looking flustered, Matthias had completely lost his usual resolute and domineering stance. All that was in his mind was Heather—he couldn’t even think straight right now. At this point, he didn’t even doubt the authenticity of the message.

Matthias pressured the driver all the way. If it wasn’t for his compelling aura, the driver might have started a quarrel with him already.

“Overtake that car!” Matthias took out all the cash he had and passed them directly to the driver. “Bring me to the hospital in the shortest time possible.” Matthias believed that no one could resist money.

True enough, the driver panicked when the pile of cash was passed to him all of a sudden. He didn’t know whether to accept the money; he only knew that he had bumped into a rich lunatic today.

Seeing the driver hesitate, Matthias directly put the money in front of him. “Get to the hospital in 10 minutes and this money is all yours.” Matthias couldn’t wait for a second longer. The hospital was actually not too far, but he felt as if it was a galaxy away.

“Sir, there’s a traffic jam as it’s peak hours now. We won’t even be able to arrive in half an hour, let alone 10 minutes,” the driver said in resignation. As much as he would like to earn the money, he had to admit that he didn’t have the ability to take it.

“How much would you like? Just tell me.” Can’t such a simple matter be resolved with money?

“Sir, this really isn’t about money.” The driver was an honest man, and Matthias’ actions started to make him uncomfortable.

“Cut the crap and get going.” Matthias’ tone became sullen. With that, the driver didn’t dare to talk to Matthias anymore because his gloomy expression was too terrifying.

He couldn’t care less and sped all the way. On the other hand, Matthias was unsettled in the back seat as he regretted not getting his own car in order to save time.

Given their current speed, it would take another 15 minutes before they could arrive at the hospital. Every minute was like torture to Matthias, and he had never felt time move so slow before. Every second seemed to be lengthened. He was almost driven crazy as he had no idea what was happening with Heather.

It was only when the car finally arrived at the hospital’s entrance did Matthias stop being anxious. He quickly got out of the car without collecting the money which he left in the passenger seat earlier.

“Sir, your money!” the driver yelled at Matthias, but the latter had already left. In Matthias’ eyes, that amount of cash meant nothing to him. With that, the driver shook his head as Matthias disappeared from his sight.

Matthias ran into the hospital as he didn’t want to waste another second. At this moment, he only wanted to be at Heather’s side immediately and had completely lost his rationality. Panting heavily, he opened the ward’s door. He looked at Heather only to find that she had already regained consciousness while Leon was sitting by her with a gentle smile.

Leon smiled friendly at Matthias when he saw him. He didn’t particularly hate Matthias. In fact, he liked him sometimes, and they might have been close friends if they weren’t love rivals.

Heather, on the other hand, wore an indifferent look when she saw Matthias. She thought it was ironic that Leon was the first one she saw upon waking up as she expected Matthias to rush over first.

It seemed like even God was teasing them. Staring at Matthias, Heather thought they were indeed not meant to be together. To a certain extent, they were the same kind of people—the kind that would even lie to themselves. Heather was feeling rather complicated the moment she saw Matthias again.

“Hey, Matthias,” Leon greeted Matthias endearingly. Even Heather didn’t know they were actually on a first-name basis already.

“Hi, Leon,” Matthias answered in a cold and hostile manner as he seemed to have sensed the ambiguous atmosphere.

“Why are you here?” Heather asked unkindly.

Having witnessed her tone of speech, even Leon was taken aback. Neither did Matthias expect Heather to say that the moment they met. He smiled hastily, perceiving that he was given a cold shoulder.
