This injury left Lauren in a coma for a whole week. During this week, Matthew had been in inch by inch guarding Lauren's bedside, his face still had no expression, only the occasional flash of hurt under his eyes still gave away his true feelings for Lauren.
"Sir, you go take a rest, I'll just take care of Miss Li here."
Seeing the always spirited Matthew, now with a tired face, Cindy hurriedly walked to his side and said softly.
"You go down and rest, I'll just watch from here."
Matthew's eyes had been locked tightly on Lauren's overly pale face.
Although Lauren's condition was somewhat relieved, and the wound on her foot would not affect her walking in the future, Matthew would never forget the way she looked when she was unconscious for the rest of his life.
"Ah, mmm."
Lauren, in the hospital bed, slowly opened her eyes, too painful for her body to even have the strength to speak.
When she saw Matthew lying beside her bed, her heart burst into panic, she couldn't forget the image of Matthew making Coco torture her, she couldn't forget the image of Matthew making her kneel down and apologize to a woman.
Perhaps it was Matthew's insubstantial sleep, or perhaps it was the sound of Lauren's soft sigh that woke him up, and he jumped up from the side of the bed at once. When he saw Lauren, who had opened her eyes and was looking at him. A smile lifted up on his face.
"You're finally awake, I asked Cindy to come over and take care of you."
Without waiting for any reaction from Lauren, Matthew directly walked out of the ward.
After a while, Cindy walked into the ward with a smile on her face and came directly to Lauren's front.
"Miss Li, you're finally awake, you know? It's been scaring us to death this week."
The concern on Cindy's face caused a weak smile to appear on Lauren's face.
"Cindy, thank you for your concern. I'm much better now, you should go back to rest too."
Cindy shook her head.
"Miss Li, I'm not tired, and it's been Mr. who has been taking care of you for this week. You don't know how nervous Mister is about you. In order to avenge you and punish that Coco, sir directly acquired the shares of her company, and now her company no longer exists."
"Cindy, are you telling the truth?"
Lauren was taken aback; she was a little confused. Why Matthew would do such a thing for her. Was he in love with her, or did he hate her?
"Of course it's true, look, I've kept all these newspapers. It has a lot of things about Mr. acquiring her company's stock."
Cindy picked up the newspaper that was placed on the bedside.
When reading what was on it, Lauren was really surprised, but she really wasn't sure what Matthew's intentions were.
"Is he out there?"
Cindy shook her head.
"No, just now after you woke up sir left the hospital, probably back to work at the company? Miss Li, you'd better take a good rest, the wound on your foot is no longer any problem, the doctor said that after resting for some more time, your foot will be able to walk freely."
Cindy took the doctor's examination results and told Lauren.
"Sir, are you sure that if you say that, Miss Li will believe it?"
Cindy was getting confused and didn't understand what the gentleman was trying to do.
"You are hired by me, only obey my orders, or I will let you go anytime, understand? If I find out that you're contacting other people behind my back, I'll make sure you can't get a decent job again, understand?"
The devilishly cold words came out of Matthew's mouth. His dark obsidian eyes burst into a fierce flame.
"Cindy will do as she is told, sir."
Matthew nodded with satisfaction. Through the glass of the ward, he could clearly see Lauren lying on the hospital bed with a pale face. Her originally large watery eyes were now very blank.
When Cindy walked into the ward again, Lauren hurriedly opened her eyes.
"Cindy, did you find Emily?"
Cindy was slightly hesitant, but still followed Matthew's instructions and told Lauren all the things he had handed down.
Lauren looked disappointed, it seems to rely on Cindy, it is impossible to get in touch with the people outside.
"I know, you tell Matthew that I won't have any more contact with people outside, and tell him not to threaten you to lie anymore."
"Miss Li, you know?"
Cindy really admired Lauren's intelligence and calmness somewhat. An ordinary woman would definitely go crazy when she encountered such a situation, but she was so calm, so calm that it was scary. Her reaction also made Matthew, who was in front of the computer, feel a wave of fear that could not put people at ease.
