True Love Waits novel Chapter 1119

'Oh, so that's why!' Erica nodded and asked with concern, "I see. How is his friend now? Is he out of danger?"

Debbie heaved a long sigh. "I called Matthew this morning. He said Nathan's condition is severe. The doctor has already given a written notice of the patient's critical condition. All we can do is wait and see if he makes it through tonight."

"Is it that serious?" Erica was shocked. No wonder Matthew hadn't come back the whole night.

"Yes. By the way, Erica, have you read the news?"

Erica shook her head. She didn't have time to look through her phone. She didn't reply to Rhea's message either.

"I should give you a heads-up then. Last night, when Matthew left the house, his car was spotted by the paparazzi hiding near the entrance of the community. They followed him to the hospital and photographed him there, randomly writing some crap about him having an affair on his wedding night. The woman they photographed him with is actually Nathan's wife. She had only come out of the hospital to lead Matthew in. But the reporters uploaded their photo online and made up a story to go along with it. They have gone too far this time!" Debbie said, her nose flaring.

Carlos had already dealt with the reporters and the media outlets who had spread the rumor. But since the news had spread fast on the Internet, it was impossible to completely erase all traces of it. Debbie was worried that Erica might misunderstand. She thought it would be best to give the young girl a clear picture of what had actually happened.

That was why she had rushed to her early morning.

She knew that Erica didn't have feelings for Matthew yet, but as his wife, Erica had the right to know the truth.

'Oh!' Erica nodded understandingly. "Okay, Mom. I understand. Don't worry about it."

She didn't mind at all. Even if Matthew really had gone to see his goddess last night, she wouldn't have cared about it.

"Good. Have your breakfast. Let's go to the manor after that; it's more lively there. What do you think?"

"Sounds great!" Erica exclaimed. She was bored anyway.

After breakfast, she had time to browse the news, and finally saw the gossips about Matthew on the Internet Both Matthew's and her names were pasted all over the news.

Many eye-catching headlines had come out. "Matthew Huo Cheating on His Wife on their Wedding Night." "Erica Li, the Most Unfortunate Bride in the World."

"A Marriage Without Love; A Tragedy." "Grand Luxurious Wedding Ends In Disaster."

"Harlot Erica Finally Cuckolded by Matthew Huo."

"Matthew Huo Unwilling to be The Stepfather; Spends Wedding Night with Another Woman."

Erica scrolled down and found more and more of those headlines. News apps, Weibo news accounts, and WeChat official accounts were posting news about them and commenting below.

She had just finished reading the article—"Matthew Huo Unwilling to be The Stepfather; Spends Wedding Night with Another Woman." Just as she was about to comment on it, the article disappeared. She refreshed the web page; it showed that the page couldn't be found.

It was the same with the other articles. Even the accounts that had spread rumors about Matthew's affair started disappearing.

She checked the comments on her Weibo account. Again, most of them were curses and negative comments. But several netizens defended her as well.

For example, a user named "Can't Do Anything" commented, "Erica gave birth to her child before she was married to Matthew. She didn't cheat on her husband. It's the 21st century, and she's a grown-up. She isn't a harlot; she just met the wrong guy. Why are you all cursing her? Is there any guarantee that the man you meet in your life is the right one?"
