Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 692

Matthias felt disappointed after hearing Heather’s question. It turned out that to Heather, his love for her wasn’t genuine. Since Heather thought of him as such, there was nothing else he would like to say either.

“Heather, it seems that I’ve overestimated myself,” Matthias said with a cold smile. He had overestimated Heather’s feelings toward him.

Should he have known that Heather’s feelings toward him were merely mediocre, he wouldn’t have kept having wishful thoughts. Staring at Heather, Matthias felt like he barely knew her.

Heather remained silent as she could perceive the disappointment in Matthias’ gaze. In fact, she was extremely disappointed in herself too. She felt as if she had been messing up her own life since a long time ago.

“If you insist that Leon will be able to bring you happiness, I wish you all the best in the future.” Matthias solemnly gave up. Since Heather had already driven him into a corner, there was no point for him to continue persisting anymore.

There was a slight change in Heather’s expression, but it quickly faded. Rendered speechless, she, too, thought it was sarcastic after hearing Matthias’ words. Seeing Matthias leave, Heather felt like she was never going to see him again. The door was closed with a bang before Matthias disappeared from her sight.

While walking along the corridor, Matthias bumped into Leon and gave him a cold stare. He knew Leon had nothing to do with this matter, and he had no right to blame him for this.

On the other hand, Leon forgot to greet him as he was taken aback by Matthias’ cold eye contact. As they brushed past each other, Leon felt uneasy being stared at by Matthias. When he turned around to look at Matthias, the latter was walking in the opposite direction in wide strides, and it was daunting to look at his upright figure.

This must’ve got to do with Heather. Leon opened the ward door carefully to find that Heather had already gotten out of the bed, so he quickly walked up to her as he was worried that she was throwing a tantrum again.

“Why did you get up, Heather?” Leon felt as if Heather didn’t acknowledge herself as a patient, so no wonder Matthias had to ‘educate’ her earlier on.

“I’m feeling much better. So why can’t I get up?” Heather refuted. She was in a bad mood currently, so she naturally wouldn’t speak kindly.

“A patient should stay in the bed and have more rest, Heather,” Leon said in dissatisfaction. At this moment, he wished Matthias was around because he was the only one who could control Heather.

“Who says a patient should always stay in bed. Patients need to do adequate exercises too. You can get even sicker by lying in bed the whole day,” Heather continued to rebuke Leon, having known some basic medical knowledge.

“Fine, fine. Whatever you say.” Leon didn’t intend to continue arguing with her.

Sure enough, Heather had a dominant personality but not Leon, so he would rather let Heather do as she pleased. From this perspective, Leon had always been doing a better job than Matthias because the latter would only insist on whatever he thought was right and would never compromise.

“What were you doing outside? What took you so long to come back?” Heather directed the topic toward Leon. She had been waiting for him to come back in and resolve the awkward situation, but he had been running away all the time.

“Nothing.” Leon smiled guiltily. Truth was, he was too bored in the corridor earlier, so he accosted one of the good-looking nurses. Leon liked pretty girls and he would never deliberately shy away from them. That was who he was, but this didn’t hinder him from having a secret crush on Heather.

“I want to be discharged as soon as possible. Please help me rush the doctor.” If it wasn’t that Heather was feeling weak, she would have gone to talk to the doctor on her own.

“Heather, the doctor has said that you can only be discharged after the examination reports are released.” This time, Leon didn’t go along with Heather. He couldn’t possibly allow her to be this willful.

“I don’t want to go for examinations anymore. The basic ones we did yesterday are enough. The examinations arranged by the doctor for today are unnecessary.” Heather didn’t want to waste more time in the hospital as she still had a lot of matters to attend to.

“You have to listen to the doctor, Heather,” Leon insisted. It was better to have Matthias around under the current situation because Leon was so used to submitting to Heather he couldn’t bring himself to go against her at all.

“You guys are annoying,” Heather said subconsciously as she was reminded of Matthias. She felt her heart squeezed. She thought Matthias would insist on staying just now, but little did she expect that he would just simply turn away and leave. The more Heather thought Matthias had not loved her as much as she had imagined, the more agonized she was.

Despite already making up her mind to marry Leon, deep down, she was actually hoping for something else. No matter what it was, she was yearning for Matthias to fight for her. Just then, she recalled the day when Matthias was at Myra’s wedding, she could tell a lot of emotions were hidden in his eyes.

That day, Heather thought that Matthias would do something––in the end, he didn’t. At this thought, she realized Matthias wasn’t that courageous either when it came to relationships. He turned into a coward at the most crucial point of time. Heather thought Matthias would change this time, but it seemed like she had overestimated Matthias and his feelings toward her.

“Heather, did you chase Matthias away?” Leon asked in curiosity while taking the opportunity to change the topic.
