True Love Waits novel Chapter 1436

As a result, Sheffield felt very confused about his own body for some time. After all, he used to be a doctor. He was well aware of the changes inside his body—change in sleep, appetite, and blood circulation.

One day, Sheffield found that the Angelica Roots he had stored away were getting fewer and fewer in number, which made him suspicious.

Soon after, he caught his son red handed, secretly adding Angelica Root powder into his bowl of porridge. A misdeed, to which Godwin admitted full responsibility in the end.

Ever since, Sheffield couldn't help dreading the idea of his son switching Angelica Root to Datura when he was older. What if Godwin decided to add poisonous herbs instead to his food in the future?

As such, he decided to stop his son from learning about traditional Chinese medicine in its entirety.

Godwin, however, was passionate about traditional Chinese medicine. When Sheffield forbade him from learning about Chinese medicine, he snitched on him to his grandfather. Needless to say, Sheffield would never dare to speak over Carlos, so he had no choice but to turn a blind eye to Godwin's love for Chinese medicine.

Matthew couldn't stay calm anymore that afternoon when he watched Erica lying still in a coma. He paced around the ward in an irritable mood before he decided to pay the attending doctor a visit.

The man frowned and coldly asked, "Didn't you say that my wife would wake up today from her coma?"

The attending doctor wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said, "Mr. Huo, don't worry. Mrs. Huo will be awake before tomorrow morning."

Matthew cast a cold glance at the doctor, who was so frightened that he immediately shut his mouth.

The man warned him coldly, "If my wife doesn't wake up before tomorrow morning, I'll burn down this hospital!"

"Y-yes, Mr. Huo!" The doctor had no choice but to agree.

In the evening, Matthew, who had returned to Erica's ward from his son's ward, received a call from Owen. "Mr. Huo, she's here!"

"Okay, I'm coming now."

After hanging up the phone, Matthew walked to the bedside, kissed the forehead of the woman whose eyes were still closed, and softly whispered, "Rika, I'm going out for a while. When I come back, I want you out of bed, okay?"

The woman didn't respond. Stifling his sympathy, Matthew turned around and strode out of the ward.

The group of bodyguards that stood outside the ward all stood straight at once and saluted Matthew.

He nodded back at them and went to the opposite ward.

Inside the ward, Damian was leaning against the bed, attentively listening to Wesley telling him a story.

"Dad!"

Matthew felt a little better when he heard his son calling him. He walked over and touched the little boy's head. "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, Dad!"

"Well, just get some rest tonight. If you're feeling better tomorrow morning, you can go home." Luckily, Damian didn't suffer any serious injuries. He could have been discharged from the hospital that day, but Matthew didn't want to take any risk with his son's health. After all, he was attacked by an unknown animal, so Matthew made him stay in the hospital for close observation.

"Okay!" Damian was relieved to hear that he could be going back home tomorrow. "But, what about Mom?"

Matthew replied affirmatively, "Mom is fine. Sleep well tonight and she will be up tomorrow morning!"

"Okay!"

Matthew then greeted Wesley before leaving in a hurry.

As soon as he left, Carlos and Debbie came to the hospital to take care of the injured mother and son.

After leaving the hospital, Matthew went straight to a dock where a slightly old ship was parked near it.
