True Love Waits novel Chapter 1208

Erica wasn't going to talk about what happened this evening, and Matthew wasn't going to force the issue.

She wanted to go home, but he insisted she stay in the hospital overnight. He wanted to make sure she got a clean bill of health before they released her.

Erica was not happy about that. She'd gotten drenched in the heavy rain, and all she wanted was a hot shower and a soft bed. And she certainly didn't need to stay here. She needed to rest up, so she had enough energy for tomorrow. Tomorrow would be when she got her revenge. Someone had to pay for today's events!

The couple were fighting over this, and it looked like neither would relent.

The girl was forced to lie on the hospital bed. Looking at the man, she said in a pitiful voice, "All that's going to happen is that I won't get any sleep. You really want me glaring at you all night?"

"Don't worry. You'll fall asleep very soon." Matthew was sure of it, because she slept like a log every night. She was a pretty sound sleeper, and sometimes her eyes closed the moment her head hit the pillow.

"Aren't you afraid of the ghosts in the hospital?"

"No. I have you with me!" Besides, he was not a superstitious man. He didn't believe in ghosts.

The girl began to howl, "I want to go home, go home..."

"Not until tomorrow!"

Suddenly, something occurred to Erica. She looked at Matthew and demanded, "Let me see your phone for a minute."

She didn't forget that Matthew had been acting funny at lunch. She had to make sure that she wasn't just imagining things.

The man's expression changed when she asked him for his phone. After a moment of silence, he tried to distract her. "I changed my mind about the hospital. Let's get out of here."

Without saying another word, he picked up the girl from the bed and walked out of the ward.

That was really suspicious. Why would he all of a sudden take her out of the hospital when she asked about his phone? The more she thought about it, the more curious she became. What was he afraid of? The chat logs he had with another woman?

'He's hiding something. I know it! Is he having an affair? Is that it? It has to be!' Erica thought to herself.

Back at the villa, she took a hot shower. When she came out, she was sleepy, but her hair was still wet, so sleep would be denied her till she could dry it.

She had some regrets, coming back home at this hour. If she'd had more time to think about it, she would have stayed the night in the hospital. Right now, she could barely keep her sleepy eyes open, but she still had to dry her hair.

In the bedroom, when Matthew saw her come out of the bathroom, he put down the documents he was working on and said, "If you hadn't come out yet, I would have come in."

Erica's eyes widened. "Come in? Why would you do that?" 'Did he want to take a bath together?' she wondered. It was not that she didn't want, but that she hadn't been mentally prepared for that yet. She needed some more time to accept that kind of intimacy with him.

Matthew cast a cold glance at her, unsatisfied with her reaction. "You've been in there for an hour. I was wondering if you'd fallen asleep."

"Well...I see." She breathed a sigh of relief.

She couldn't help yawning and said, "Your turn to take a shower."

Matthew went straight into the bathroom and when he emerged a minute later, he was carrying a hair dryer. The girl sat at the vanity, going through her skin care routine.

He put the hair dryer aside and waited for her.

Realizing that he wasn't in the shower yet, Erica turned and asked curiously, "Aren't you going to take a shower?"

"No rush."

"Okay." She put on the face cream casually and stood up to grab the hair dryer.

But Matthew put out his arm to stop her. "Not now. Just lie on the bed."

Remembering that he had helped her blow dry her hair last time, Erica reacted quickly this time. "You going to dry my hair?"

The man glanced at her indifferently. "Of course! Why waste time with stupid questions?" He had the hair dryer in his hand. Wasn't his intention obvious?
