Crack! A crisp slap sounded.
Mary, who has always been known for being gentle and considerate, actually slapped Matthew in the face!
She is a virtuous housemate who everyone in the circle of noble ladies in the country highly praises. She would respect him wherever she goes!
She has been elegant and calm all her life. She was born into a scholarly family, highly educated and emotionally intelligent, and never quarrels with others!
However, how painful and sad she must be to slap her husband so resolutely in front of so many people… A heavy slap in the face!
"Speak up! Who the hell is Natalie! What did you do behind my back!" Mary shouted hoarsely.
"I..."
Mary's body trembled violently as if she would fall down anytime and anywhere.
Gale wanted to go forward but was stopped by Shawn and pulled back into his arms.
"What are you going to do?"
"It can't go on like this… Mary will faint again! What if... if there is a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, what should I do?" Gale said.
She had been through this situation.
Back then, Wendy was so anxious when she heard the news that Peter was in prison that she passed out and went into a coma.
Gale was very scared that history would repeat itself!
She stared at Mary without blinking, and her palms were sweaty.
Shawn deeply understood her concerns.
He looked at the bodyguard. "Take Mary back to the ward and let the doctor come for a physical examination."
"Yes, Mr. Wood."
Shawn lowered his voice again, "When necessary...give her sleeping pills and let her have a good sleep."
The bodyguard nodded. "Understood."
