BXBX NOVEL Chapter 336: False Affections
Matthew’s stomach really was in extreme discomfort and he was struggling to hide the pain on his face.
“Chief Daniel Marshall, let’s take a break. I need to use the restroom.”
Daniel’s deep gaze made Matthew feel nervous, causing his eyes to constrict involuntarily, “I’m sorry. I didn’t do this on purpose. I had too much seafood last night and I thought I’d be fine after taking some medication, but it seems I haven’t completely recovered yet.”
Daniel lit a cigarette and began smoking, his eyes colder than ever as he examined Matthew, “So, your stomach is upset? You’re feeling quite uncomfortable? Fine, we’ll continue this discussion another time. You can go now. ”
As soon as Daniel finished speaking, Matthew sprinted out of the CEOs office.
On this floor, there was a restroom near the conference room. Matthew ran to it only to find a sign on the door indicating that it was out of service.
Matthew, his face twisted in pain, pounded his fist on the locked door. His stomach hurt so badly that he had to hunch over as he ran towards the stairs.
When he reached the elevator, he found all of them had descended. In a panic, he ran to take the stairs instead.
By the time he got back to the floor where the President’s Office was, he had already rushed into the men’s room, but it was too late. He couldn’t hold it anymore and soiled his pants.
In the depth of his despair, he hid in the restroom. His humiliation bubbled over into silent, uncontrollable sobs. His heart was filled with rage and resentment.
He would never forget this day. He swore to himself that he would make Daniel pay.
Hearing that her son had been rushed to the hospital, Bella Thompson hurried to RenewalCare Hospital, escorted by Orion Smith. She was guided to a VIP room in the gastroenterology department.
Bella saw not only Michael Marshall, but also Daniel Marshall.
Bella, who had been worried sick, suddenly restrained her surging emotions, her heartache concealed behind a careful facade as she looked at her incredibly pale son.
Matthew didn’t want his father to know about the dirty tricks he had been playing, so he lied, “Mum, I just overate seafood last night and it upset my stomach. The doctor said I lost too much fluid from diarrhea and I need an IV to restore my electrolytes.”
Daniel chimed in, “The doctor just said that it’s acute gastroenteritis. He needs to rest well.”
Bella glanced at Daniel, the corner of her mouth twitching involuntarily.
Matthew sounded weak as he said, “Dad, Daniel, you guys can go back to work now. Now that Mum’s here, she’ll take care of me.”
Daniel nodded slightly, his eyes dark and deep, “Alright, I’ll leave then. You rest well.”
Michael noticed the bandages on Bella’s face, but he only gave her a quick glance without inquiring further.
Feeling frustrated, Michael followed Daniel out of the room.
In the elevator, Michael coldly asked, “Does Matthew really have gastroenteritis?”
Daniel’s handsome face remained expressionless, his gaze cold as he stared at the elevator doors. “This is RenewalCare Hospital, and it is even a family business. Dad, if you don’t believe it, you can ask the doctor, or you can ask
Matthew. I’m not a doctor; I don’t know anything about medical conditions.”
Michael’s face hardened as he warned in a stern voice, “I hope you’re not playing any tricks! I hope you know what you’re doing!”
Daniel chuckled coldly, a scornful look in his eyes, “Dad, do you know what you’re doing? Slandering your daughter-in-law and spreading rumors. If this gets out, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at? Do you want to take this to court? If someone wants to kill me or push me around, do you think I shouldn’t fight back? Or would you rather watch me die?”
Michael’s face turned dark and terrifying, his eyes bore into Daniel like a fierce beast, “That slut is only pretending to care about you.. She doesn’t love you at all!”
