“No, of course not.” Rose shook her head in earnest and waved her had in front of her face.
Elizabeth narrowed her eyes and studied her for a moment, before finally looking away with a smile. “Good. If you betray me Like Elin did, I’ll be sure to make the rest of your life a living hell.”
All the color drained from Rose’s face, and she trembled where she stood.
“You may leave Seamarsh for the time being,” Elizabeth said without even looking at Rose. “Don’t come back without my permission.”
“Okay…”
Inside the emergency department of a hospital in North city, Breck finally caught sight of Matthew being pushed out on a stretcher.
Matthew’s face was ghostly pale, a clear sign of too much blood loss.
It was a sight Breck had never seen before. Matthew looked so fragile. It scared him. Quickly, he approached the doctor, asking, “Doctor, how is he doing?”
“The wound required 23 stitches. Luckily, his internal organs were unharmed. With proper rest, he should recover well.”

“Thank God. I’m relieved to hear he’s going to be okay.” Breck rushed to Matthew’s side. To his surprise, Matthew was fully conscious, which startled him again. Turning to the doctor, he asked, “Didn’t you use general anesthesia?”
The doctor shook his head. “He refused general anesthesia.”
“Breck,” Matthew called out.
“What can I do for you, Mr. Clark?”
“Just be quiet,” Matthew barely whispered, eyes shut.

Breck realized then that they were still in the hallway. He apologized and helped the nurse move Matthew into his room.
The doctor gave them a brief rundown of what to do and what not to do before leaving.
The room fell into such silence one could hear a pin drop. Matthew seemed to drift off with his eyes closed.
Breck remained motionless by the bed, afraid to disturb the quiet.
“Breck.” Matthew’s voice broke the silence.
Breck moved quickly and paid close attention to what he was saying.
Even though someone had taken good care of Matthew’s injury and the cut was cleaned up, it was still pretty long. Talking might have just made it worse.
He paused for a bit, then said, “Get me a ticket back to Seamarsh immediately.”
Stella had called, sounding alright, but he couldn’t shake off his worry.
Since he could receive the email without knowing who it was from, the sender could send it to Stella.
