The matter of disinfecting Watkins' wound absorbed Erica's attention entirely. When she heard the front door open and then shut, she thought nothing of it, supposing the driver had gone out.
Little did she know that she was wrong; in fact, it was her husband coming in.
As soon as Matthew had finished his business trip, he'd rushed straight home without even visiting the office.
He was unpleasantly surprised when he opened the door, for the first thing he saw was his wife, squatting in front of a strange man and dealing with his wound.
Matthew's face darkened at this eyesore. When he was in a mood like this, he seemed to give off an uncanny aura that lowered the temperature in the room.
The driver, who was still inside the house, turned at the sound of the door. Seeing Matthew approach, he nodded respectfully. "Mr. Huo!"
Only then did Erica realize that her husband was back.
Joy flashed through her eyes, but when she saw the man's cold expression, her memory of the unhappiness between them a few days ago came rushing back. Sobered at once, she silently went back to spraying Watkins' wound with the disinfectant.
Just steps away, Matthew came to a stop and took in the exceptionally unhappy scene before him.
When the two men's eyes met, Watkins spoke first and awkwardly extended his hand, smiling. "Hello."
He was quite embarrassed when Matthew ignored him entirely, neither responding nor shaking his hand.
Erica left off with the disinfectant and said, "Well, it's no good to spray any more. Your wound is too deep, and you really need to go to the hospital."
"Well, thanks anyway." As soon as Watkins said this, his phone rang and he answered it. "Hello? Yeah, I'm here. Yes, I'm on my way now."
With that, he put the phone away and got up. "Erica, thank you very much," he said emphatically. "I'm sure you've saved my life, and I will repay you someday. But my friend is here, so I'll be going now."
Erica waved her hand. "You don't need to repay me. Just get going. And please, don't delay in going to the hospital."
"All right."
Saying this, Watkins turned toward the door, but just then a spasm went through him, and his knees wobbled. Without thinking, Erica caught him by the arm. "Are you okay?"
The atmosphere in the living room was thick with awkwardness as Matthew stood by, silent and ignored.
Despite doing nothing, his presence was enough to put a lot of pressure on Watkins.
The injured man quickly freed himself from Erica's grip, his face frozen in a nervous parody of a smile. "I'll be fine. I'm sorry to disturb you at this late hour. Goodbye!"
With a perfunctory nod at Matthew, he gritted his teeth and marched out toward the gate of the villa. In his haste, he left his coat behind, though neither of his hosts noticed this.
Matthew's voice stopped him. "Wait!"
Even more on edge than before, Watkins stopped in the doorway and turned.
As Erica watched uneasily, her husband went on, "My wife saved your life today, but you don't have to pay her back in the future. It's just a small favor. And for that matter, you don't need to see her in the future, either."
Watkins' smile splintered and fell in ruins. There was no mistaking the man's hostility to him now. "Yes, I got it. Thank you, sir and madam. I'm leaving now."
Matthew watched him go, and Erica went to pack up the first aid kit.
At the first sight of Matthew, the driver had sensed that something was wrong with him. Now that he had the chance to leave, he immediately took Watkins' coat and followed him out of the villa.
