Chapter 60 Bad intentions
A long day passed, while Matida returned home to rest after a day of caring for Arthur in the hospital, Blance was still chatting on the phone with a man near the hospital corridor.
Perhaps Blance is not very interested in taking care of Arthur, she is constantly laughing, playing with her new lover, so she neglects to take care of Arthur, leading to not taking care of him carefully. , she left him alone and let him take care of himself in his room. When he felt too cramped and bored and went out of the room to go for a walk, the check-up nurse rushed to find him when she did not see him in the room.
Part of them were afraid that he would have complications of amnesia because Arthur was also old and had a history of neurological disorders when he was heavily addicted to alcohol in the past. So the nurse took the initiative to contact Blance and Matida because she didn’t know who was in the hospital right now.
Blance is quite indifferent, she does not care much about Arthur’s illness after all, he is just her ex-husband after a long time not seeing each other. She and the nurse went to look for Arthur but only acted with a superficial responsibility of a caretaker, because in Blance’s mind now only images and longing for her new lover.
When the nurse called, it accidentally woke Matida while she was resting at home, Matida was very worried when she received a notification that Arthur was missing, she quickly asked the driver to take her to the hospital right away to find Arthur.
On the way to the hospital, Matida received a call from the company, the staff informed that there were some documents that Arthur needed to sign urgently today. With Mr. Arthur’s current status, she will be the legal person to sign and settle everything because Mr. Arthur has trusted and empowered her to decide. The person who should have stood in place of Arthur was Oswat, but he was still in the learning and trial period. He still prioritized his studies and let his current wife decide everything. Matida answered by phone after hearing her staff say:
“Okay, I’ll come to the office when I’m done with my work. As for other problems, you can email me information. I’ll watch it tonight, bad terms I’ll report back to Melen. She is my effective secretary at the company, she will take care of it for me.”
The person on the phone politely replied:
“Yes, I understand, ma’am.”
Matida hung up the phone, she sighed, said to herself:
“After I find Arthur, I will go to the company to process the file.”
About twenty minutes later, Matida was also at the hospital and that was when the nurse found Arthur while he was picking flowers in a small flowerbed near the patient’s walking area. When she saw Arthur sitting on the hospital bed in the room with the nurse and Blance, Matida breathed a sigh of relief, she hugged Arthur and said:
“Fortunately, you’re still here, you’ve made everyone worry.”
Arthur said nothing, he quietly hugged Matida back, he gave her the beautiful flowers that he had just picked in the garden. Matida took it with a smile, both of them looking at each other happily. Arthur suddenly said:
“I thought you would like it so I picked them for you.”
Matida looked at the flowers and praised:
“Thanks Arthur, they’re beautiful.”
As for Blance, she only smiled wryly and somewhat derisively because he had given Matida flowers as soon as he returned to his room. A few minutes later, a nurse entered the room to inject some medicine for the patient, and in order to see Lady Matida privately, she made a gesture with her eyes to Matida who wished to speak with her privately. Matida suddenly understood, she pretended to go out to answer the phone and let Blance sit and take care of Arthur when he was fast asleep. Everything was done, the two of them went out to talk privately. The nurse looked shyly at Matida and said:
“This is a personal matter for the patient, after all, I shouldn’t have intervened, but I was forced to speak as the situation just now happened.”
Matida stared at the nurse and waited for her to continue. The nurse looked around and whispered in Matida’s ear:
“As for Sir Arthur’s illness, I don’t think he should be left to Lady Blance’s care. Because she’s a bit mindless and just focuses on talking on the phone with her acquaintances.”
When the nurse said that, Matida did not seem surprised much, she nodded in understanding and did not forget to thank the kind girl who warned her. And that afternoon, while Arthur was still asleep, Matida and Blance had a conversation near the hospital corridor. Matida opened the conversation with her own words:
“Blance, we were friends in high school, even though we weren’t close. I just know that you are Arthur’s classmate and I don’t know about the process of you two falling in love. It wasn’t until after graduation, when I received Arthur’s wedding invitation, that I knew the wife he wanted to marry was you.”
Blance only smiled lightly when Matida talked about it, she nodded while examining Oswat’s stepmother. Matida continued to ask:
“Do you still love your husband?”
Blance was not surprised to hear a blunt question from Matida, she calmly replied:
“Before we had Oswat, I think yes, but now no.”
Matida asked in surprise:Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“Then why did you come here to take care of Arthur? When the two of you have been disconnected for a long time.”
Blance glanced at the time on her phone and replied nonchalantly:
“You might think I’m a rather leisurely person, for example. Or it’s pity, or rather I want to know how the person I heartlessly abandoned lives after he had an accident and temporarily lost his memory. And with Arthur’s current condition, I hope to make some money from him. Since he is much richer now than before, he should help his ex-wife.”
Matida felt anger in her chest when she heard Blance’s bitter words. She wanted to curse vehemently at the frivolous, shameless and vile woman standing before her. But Matida did not act like that, she tried to suppress the anger in her chest, calmly making a suggestion to Blance:
“Yes. Thank you for making it clear to me what I wanted to know. Blance, you are a very honest woman, I am grateful for that. But you should understand the situation now, you are no longer a woman. Arthur’s wife anymore and he has no right or obligation to pay you. And your presence here has no value or necessity while my current wife is taking care of him. Your game is over, even redundant”.
Blance glanced at Matida as she continued:
“But anyway, you are also Arthur’s ex-wife, the woman he used to love very much, moreover, if you have the heart to come visit Arthur, you can’t leave him, so it’s up to you, I will I have a small suggestion for you.” That is, I will give you some money and in return you should leave Arthur, never see him again, because you cannot give your love to take care of him and the important thing is that you are no longer a wife of Arthur, love you again as before. I am a very respectful person but today a bad situation happened and you are the cause of it. That’s why I was forced to interfere in your relationship. ”
Blance smiled wryly and said:
“Matida, you haven’t changed at all, still a beautiful, polite and rich lady. And that makes me jealous, because I can’t have your good qualities.”
The message came from Blance’s phone, she glanced at it, took out her purse, took out a small postcard, gave it to Matida, and continued:
“Okay, I have already wasted too much time here. On the back of my postcard is my bank account number, please do as you said.”
Matida received the postcard and made an online transfer on her phone. Blance after receiving the money, she happily left, not forgetting to wave goodbye to Matida, she talked excitedly on the phone as she went:
“Honey, I’ll tell you where I’ve been these past few days, my luck has come after months of bad luck. I’ve got money for us.”
Matida shook her head thoughtfully, she was about to go back in and ask the nurse to take care of Arthur so that she could go to the company to handle the case, when a strange phone call came, Matida picked up the phone:
“Hello madam, I am Robert’s colleague, we have captured Wade and will interrogate him now. Can you go to the police station?”
Jane’s mother was overjoyed, she suppressed her joy, looked at the time on her phone and replied to the police:
“Okay, I’ll be there in a few minutes.”
Matida phoned her secretary, saying:
“Melen, the documents need me to sign, please bring them all to Arthur’s office at the company and related documents. I will come to the company when I have solved the problem here”.
Melen obediently replied:
“Yes, madam.”
