Chapter 169: Chapter 171

Chapter 171 Deal With Aurelia “Mr. Zeller’s photography skills are on par with a professional photographer. We had just finished discussing tomorrow’s itinerary.

He mentioned a palm forest that is particularly beautiful for taking photos. I’m already looking forward to tomorrow’s journey.”

Upon seeing Matthew inspecting the camera, Aurelia immediately spoke up.

Matthew raised an eyebrow. Are they leaving me out? The itinerary is quite wonderful, and the photos taken are impressive. It’s just that I’m being distinctly left out.

“Is there something wrong?” Aurelia asked, her confusion apparent as she regarded Matthew’s stern profile.

Matthew’s emotional fluctuations over the past couple of days were truly baffling.

“It’s nothing,” Matthew replied in a cool and distant voice.

Aurelia refrained from asking any more questions.

In her opinion, nothing was as crucial as first indulging in a delicious meal to satisfy one’s hunger. As for the rest, it could be dealt with after finishing her meal.

Twenty minutes later, after finishing their meal, the two of them settled into a business vehicle.

On the journey, Matthew was rather reserved, not speaking much.

Aurelia also knew how to read the room and didn’t take the initiative to say anything.

The number of orders on Amazon was high, and coupled with the orders from last night that she hadn’t managed to process, she had no choice but to deal with them all now.

While halfway through the task, she suddenly felt waves of pain emanating from her stomach.

The pain was so intense that she immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Matthew keenly noticed something unusual about Aurelia. “Are you not feeling well?”

“My stomach hurts. I need to use the bathroom.” Aurelia was in so much pain that her voice trembled. Is it possible that I’m not acclimatized to the local conditions and am suffering from diarrhea? I’m afraid my fear is realized.

She was in dire need of a restroom at that moment.

Matthew instructed his driver to stop in front of a hotel, where he promptly checked into a room.

After entering the restroom, Aurelia found herself stuck to the toilet bowl.

Half an hour later, she emerged from the restroom, her face as pale as a ghost and her entire body seeming drained of all strength..

“Let’s go. We’re heading to the hospital.” Matthew came over and supported Aurelia. He had 1/4 already made arrangements with the hospital.

Aurelia weakly nodded in agreement.

She felt like she had a fever, her head heavy and her feet light.

An hour later, Aurelia found herself lying on a hospital bed, receiving an IV drip.

She felt somewhat groggy due to the fever and diarrhea.

Looking at Matthew standing guard by her side, Aurelia felt a pang of guilt. “I can manage on my own. It’s already eleven at night. You should head back to the hotel and rest.”

Matthew studied her steadily as if he were scrutinizing something.

“No need. I can rest here.” Matthew’s voice was cool, but his actions were surprisingly heartwarming.

He sat on the couch, making it appear even tinier. Due to his tall stature, his legs appeared out of place.

There weren’t many large hospitals in Kenfort, and this one was considered to have quite impressive facilities.

Aurelia weakly expressed her thanks.

She left the rest of her words unsaid. Since Matthew took care of her that day, she would return the favor by caring for him when he got sick in the future.

While Aurelia groggily dozed off, she seemed to have heard Matthew’s phone ringing.

Presumably, to avoid disturbing her, he stepped outside to take the call.

Aurelia vaguely heard him conversing on the phone. “It’s not me, it’s my wife. Don’t worry. She’s resting... Come back tomorrow.”

As she listened, she fell asleep once more. Hearing Matthew refer to her as his wife, Aurelia felt her heart race a little..

After ending the call, Matthew returned to the hospital room. He looked at Aurelia, her face devoid of color. His expression darkened. She has been on an IV drip for over half an hour, yet why is her complexion still so pale?

Once again, he stepped out of the ward, seeking the doctor. “Her condition isn’t looking too good. Get your head of department over here.”

The on–duty doctor immediately went to call the chief physician.

The chief physician hurried to the ward for an inspection. Finding that Aurelia had already fallen into a deep sleep and was in a stable condition, he turned to Matthew and said, “Her condition. isn’t serious. She’s currently on an IV drip and should be able to be discharged by tomorrow. Her 2/4 Chapter some indigestible food. She just needs to be mindful of her diet in the future.”

Matthew frowned. Although the doctor had assured him there were no issues, he felt that Aurelia’s condition hadn’t shown much improvement.

“Do we need to conduct any other tests?” he asked.

The chief physician was somewhat helpless. “For now, it’s not necessary. What the patient needs most at this moment is proper rest. Only with ample rest can the patient recover her health at the quickest pace.”

Just then, Gordon came rushing over.

He lingered at the entrance of the ward, not hurrying in.

When Gordon saw Matthew engaged in a serious conversation with the doctor, he was terror- stricken.

He had dined at that restaurant numerous times and had never heard of anyone suffering from diarrhea.

That day, while out and about, they had eaten a few things, but the food was all quite ordinary.

After the doctor left, Matthew glanced at Gordon, who was standing by the door.

Gordon’s heart palpitated. “Is Ms. Shaw all right? Did the doctor mention what caused her fever and diarrhea?”

“She’s not acclimatized to the local conditions, and she’s suffering from acute gastroenteritis,” Matthew said in a deep voice.

“That serious?” ordon peered inside, catching sight of Aurelia’s pale face. He felt a pang of remorse. “I should’ve scheduled today’s itinerary a bit lighter.”

Matthew looked up and glanced at Gordon. “You’re quite good at taking photos. Have any training?”

you had Gordon was candid. “Back in college, I had a girlfriend who was really into photography. I learned it specifically to win her over.”

“Your photography skills are impressive but don’t take any more photos in the future.” Matthew’s voice was slightly cold.

Gordon widened his eyes. Then, belatedly, he gained clarity. Boss is jealous!

“Your command is my wish. I shan’t take any more photos in the future,” he immediately replied subserviently.

With a dismissive wave of his hand, Matthew said, “Get lost.”

“Of course!” Gordon responded. Fortunately, Boss is highly perceptive and doesn’t blame me for Ms.

A.L 3/4 101 PM Chapter 171 Deal With Aurelia After Gordon left, Matthew leaned back on the couch, his gaze falling on Aurelia.

She was in deep slumber and undisturbed by the doctor or Matthew’s arrival.

+5 Pearls Matthew found Aurelia, who usually appeared so resilient, seemed extraordinarily vulnerable at that moment.

Suddenly, Aurelia’s phone rang.

Matthew immediately walked over, picked up her phone, and glanced at the unidentified number. displayed on the screen. He furrowed his brows and walked outward to answer the call.

“Aurelia, if you don’t come over, don’t blame me for disregarding our sibling bond! Do you think you can avoid this? It’s not too late to come back now. If you refuse to comply willingly, I’ll make sure you regret it deeply. By then, don’t blame me for being ruthless and targeting my own little sister!”

Spencer’s threats and arrogant words poured out from the phone’s speaker, causing Matthew to clearly discern Spencer’s obvious haughtiness.

“How do you plan to deal with Aurelia?” Matthew coldly retorted with a question. Can the Leedon family really afford to manage all these affairs now?

“Who are you? Are you the boy toy Aurelia found?” Spencer asked.
