Chapter 209
Lucy was sleeping soundly in the ward until the sound of the door opening startled her awake. Usually, such a slight noise would not disturb her, but it was probably due to her feeling uneasy.
As soon as she heard the familiar voices, her eyes were wide open. She found it strange that she could not fall back asleep after waking up. Closing her eyes did not help either, so she decided to sit up. Cillian and Matthew did not notice Lucy at first. They assumed that she was still sleeping until they saw her sitting up, wide awake. Matthew looked at her with concern, "Wifey, why don't you sleep a little longer? Did we wake you up by opening the door?"
Listening to how Matthew called her 'wifey', Lucy blushed in embarrassment. She shook her head and said, "No, it's not that. The door wasn't that loud.
"By the way, have you two finished your discussion?"
Before Matthew could respond, Lucy interrupted him by asking him a question first. To be frank, she did not have any memories with Matthew at the moment.
Perhaps, she would slowly regain her memories in the future, but she was still not used to Matthew's attitude toward her. Whether it be his concern for her or him calling her 'wifey', it just made her uncomfortable. It was not that she disliked it, but it just made her feel shy.
Unaware of his wife's thoughts, Matthew just sensed her embarrassment. Perhaps she was rejecting his term of endearment because she did not like him very much.
His expression darkened a little, but he quickly recomposed himself. Although his previous efforts seemed to have been reset, he had no problem starting over.
After quietly reassuring himself in his mind, he calmly said to Lucy, "Yup, we're done.
"But we need your help. Lulu, can you follow everything I tell you to do?"
Matthew wanted to call her 'wifey', but after sensing how uncomfortable she was, he opted to call her 'Lulu' instead.
Lucy sighed in relief after hearing him call her 'Lulu'.
'Lulu' was much better than being called 'wifey', but after seeing Matthew's poker face, Lucy could not help but feel that the man in front of her might be a little angry-perhaps even a little sad.
She was not sure where this feeling came from, but she was somehow able to read his mind. Lucy cautiously asked him, "Matthew, have I upset you?"
Matthew was startled. He considered himself an expert at hiding his emotions, so how did his wife notice? No, he could not show any flaws if he wanted to help her. He shook his head and said, "No, I'm fine. Anyway, about what happened earlier..."
Lucy was relieved to hear that he was fine.
Her face relaxed, and she asked, "What are your plans?"
Matthew's expression turned serious. "Cillian might have already told you earlier, but you ended up in the hospital because of a car accident. I'm here to tell you that it wasn't just an accident but an attempted murder.
"Someone paid an assassin organization to take your life, so I plan to have you leave the country for a while to lay low."
Upon hearing Matthew's words, Lucy felt a mix of bewilderment and fear.
Why would an assassin organization target her? She was just an ordinary woman.
