After saying that, | opened the lunch box and started eating.
Matthew sat down besidewithout a word. It was only until I had finished my food did he say, "Now that we're
done with the checks, you should go back and catch up on sleep. Don't stay up late in the future or it'll be bad
for your skin and health.”
| nodded. "I know.” Matthew pursed his lips and asked a little hesitantly, "Did you and Theo quarrel?”
| stopped drinking water for a moment, then took a sip and said with a smile, "It's normal for couples to fight.
We'll be fine after a few days." "Why did you fight?’ | screwed on the mineral water bottle cap and asked flatly,
"Are you trying to be a counselor?" "How can I?"
Matthew laughed. "I just noticed you're in a bad mood and want to ask what's going on. | want to comfort you."
"Couples usually quarrel about the mest insignificant things.”
| changed the subject. "It's going to be Regata Storica soon. Are you going back to Whaldorf City too?”
Matthew nodded. "I'm going back. Why?"
"Nothing. Just asking.”
We did not say anything else after that
It was a sunny day with a cloudless sky. The sun felt warm on the skin.
Matthew toldto take a nap in the office, but | wanted to go hand take a nap. Hence, | planned to take in
the sun outside for a while. Gradually, my stomach started hurting.
Matthew noticedclutching my stomach and asked a little nervously, "Does your stomach hurt?”
| nodded. "I may have caught a cold. It's no big deal."
"If you don't feel well, then go to the hospital and get it checked."

Matthew got up and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to the hospital.”
"Forget it.”
| did a mental calculation. My period must be approaching, and that was why it hurt.
Matthew furrowed his brows and grabbed my arm, wanting to taketo the hospital by force.
| was just about to refuse when | noticed the shed ceiling above his head move. A bad feeling surged in my
heart. When | realized what was going on, Matthew sensed danger as well and draggedup from the chair. We
rushed out of the shed. My stomach was hurting even more now. After running two steps, | was already covered
in a cold sweat.
Seeing that the shed was about to crash, | shook Matthew's hand off and shouted anxiously, “Run! Don't worry
about me.” With my running speed, | could never run out of the shed in time. However, Matthew could. | must
not drag him down. However, Matthew did not want to leave
He grabbed my arm again and yankedinto his arms.
Then, the shed crashed down.
The huge impact crashed both of us to the ground. Matthew's muffled grunt entered my ears.
| did not feel any pain because Matthew had taken the hit for me.
| cried out to him in a trembling voice, "Are you okay, Matthew?"
“Don't worry, I'm fine." His voice was very weak. “Someone will cand save us very soon. Are you hurt?"
"I'm not hurt at all.” | wanted to cry.
"Glad to hear that."
| felt a deep sense of fear, and my body
would not stop trembling
Perhaps it was my instinct as a woman, | knew that Matthew was not okay.
| heard someone screaming. Someone was here to save us.
| felt warmth on my stomach. Sensing something, | asked with great fear, “Are you hurt anywhere, Matthew?"
"I'm okay." His voice sounded even weaker than before as though he was trying hard not to fall asleep
"Can anyone hear me?” | was extremely anxious and screamed frantically," Someone, save us!"
"They're here.”
My screams helped the guys locate us. | heard a lot of people running in our direction.
| spoke to Matthew, but he made no reply this time
Sensing more and more liquid on my tummy, | cried out in fear, "Please don’t sleep, Matthew. I'm scared. Can
you talk to me?" "We'll start the rescue operation right now, Ms. Lane. Hold on.” Someone outside comforted me.
“Hurry up and save him." | was already inconsolable
Unsure how long it had been, I finally saw the sunlight.
Theo bent his body and shieldedunderneath him.
Krayden and another employee tried to lift Matthew, but when they touched his body, they both retracted their
hands at the stime. "Don't touch him first. How long before the ambulance arrives?"
Clearly, Matthew was in a bad condition.
My body was stiff, and my breathing beclaborious.
When the ambulance arrived, the paramedics lifted Matthew into the ambulance.
Krayden helpedup. Looking at the blood on my body and on the ground, my mind turned blank. | was too
