Chapter 1756
When Love Comes Late
Yet before the guard could even place the call, the ward door swung open and out stepped Neville and Matthew, one after the other.
Nevilleâs gaze fell on Flossie, and he instinctively moved to shield Matthew, but it was already too late.
Their eyes met, and both Nevilleâs and Matthewâs brows creased in a slight frown.
Flossieâs heart skipped a beat at the sight of Matthew.
Neville recovered first and snapped at the bodyguards, âWhatâs going on here? Havenât you taken my instructions seriously? Keep uninvited guests out.
Is that clear?â
Though he was scolding the bodyguards, the barb was meant for Flossie.
He hadnât taken the initiative to settle scores with her, yet she had the audacity to show her face here.
Flossie lowered her head, feeling the weight of Nevilleâs glare.
Now that Neville had seen her, he seemed unable to resist the urge to release his frustration.
His eyes were piercing as he spat out, âWhatâs wrong? Did you come here to ask about news on behalf of your boyfriend?â
Under Nevilleâs harsh stare, Flossieâs heart sank, leaving her speechless.
However, to Neville, her expression seemed insincere and disgusting.
âDonât look so miserable.
Without your boyfriendâs involvement, Matthew wouldnât be hurt like this.
Why are you pretending?â His gaze was accusing as he continued, âLook, I donât care whatâs going on between you and Benny, but if you dare share what youâve witnessed today, Iâll have to take action.
â
Misunderstood, Flossie quickly gestured with her hands and pleaded, âIâm sorry.
I was wrong before, but I promise, I wonât tell anyone about today.
I swear.
â
Neville wasnât interested in hearing her out.
He simply instructed the bodyguards, âGet her out.
Sheâs not welcome here.
â
The bodyguards moved to comply.
Powerless to stop them, Flossie still had one more plea.
âMr.
Clarkâ¦â she called out to Matthew with tears in her eyes.
âPlease, just give me a chance to make things right.
Hear me out! Itâs important.
Itâs about Benny!â
âMr.
Clark!â Flossie clung to the elevator door, refusing to enter.
Matthew glanced at her and gestured dismissively.
âLet her go.
â
The bodyguards released her immediately.
Neville scowled and warned, âYouâre not seriously considering listening to her, are you? This woman is aligned with Benny.
She deceived everyone, hiding the fact that Benny was still alive.
Itâs possible sheâs here to do his bidding again, coming to the hospital so eagerly to deceive us with fake sincerity.
â
âNo, Iâm truly not.
Please trust me.
I mean no harm to Mr.
Clark,â
