Medical Genius's Unspeakable Marriage novel Chapter 983

Chapter 983 Life Must Be Hard for Her

Matthew countered gently, “Heidi, I think Helen would be a lot more devastated to know that you withheld something like this from her. The both of you are sisters, but do you really see her as family if you refuse to tell her anything? Now, just stay put and get the rest you need while I help you out with everything else. I’m a doctor here, after all.”

Heidi made to protest, but the nurses who restrained her wasted no time in escorting her back to the ward.

Presently, Crystal walked up to Matthew in a daze and asked, “My goodness, Matthew, I didn’t think you’d know her, and on a first-name basis, no less.”

Crystal’s eyes were as wide as saucers. “I can’t believe she’s actually a relative of yours. She’s the woman I was telling you about earlier! Her daughter came over and caused a whole scene, spewing nonsense about how she would starve to death and drop out of school. It was no wonder the woman was anxious to get back to work. Life must be hard for her!”

Matthew let out a quiet breath of resignation. He knew how headstrong Heidi was and that she would never intentionally ask for help, no matter how dire her situation was. For some reason, this only made her all the more admirable.

Now that Matthew was aware of her struggles, he couldn’t just sit by and do nothing. At first instance, he called Sasha, who in turn relayed the incident to Helen.

Barely half an hour had passed when Sasha and Helen showed up at the hospital, worried and anxious. As soon as they arrived, they immediately urged, “Matthew, which room is Heidi staying in right now? How is she coping?”

Without saying much, Matthew brought them over to Heidi’s ward.

“What?” she thundered. “L-Leia did all that? How could she? How did the girl turn out the way she did?”

Helen was equally belligerent after hearing the details. “What in the world is wrong with this child? What was she thinking? Her own mother was run down by some punk on a motorbike, and she didn’t even have the good sense of calling the police? Not to mention how she didn’t even show up to take care of Heidi! What is going on in that head of hers?”

“No, Helen, it wasn’t Leia’s fault,” Heidi interjected, hurrying to her daughter’s defense. “It really wasn’t. I was the one who embarrassed her in front of her friends. They were having a good time until I showed up and told her off without thinking. That was why her friends got angry; they were probably annoyed at my behavior.” With a sigh, she added guiltily, “This is all my fault.”

Helen could scarcely believe the words tumbling out of her sister’s mouth. Infuriated, she snapped, “What the hell are you talking about, Heidi? How is any of this your fault? What, do you actually think it’s sensible for a young girl like Leia to move in with some random punk? Besides, you’re her mother, so it was only right for you to tell her off like that. Even if your words came out wrong, she could have just argued with you or tried to speak up for herself. But for those guys to run you down with a motorbike? What the hell was that all about?”
