Chapter 2155

Yet she wasn’t ready to give up.

With a sense of defeat, she said, “Lately, when I close my eyes, I keep reliving that day.

And I don’t know these maids well.

I’m really scared…”

A flicker of impatience crossed Matthew’s eyes.

He stood abruptly and said sharply, “I have work to handle.

If you’re that frightened, you should ask your mother to come stay with you.

”

“But I…” Lindsay wanted to say something more.

But Matthew cut her off.

“I’m leaving now.

You need to rest properly.

Go to bed early.

I’ll come see you once I finish my work.

”

Then he turned and left the room.

When Matthew emerged from the apartment building, the car was already idling by the curb, the driver waiting patiently.

Sliding into the back seat, Matthew rubbed his forehead.

“Mr.

Clark, where to now?” the driver inquired with a respectful tone.

For a fleeting moment, Prosper Bay flashed through Matthew’s mind.

Shaking his head to dismiss the absurd notion, he responded in a deep, firm voice, “To the office.

”

No sooner had he spoken than his phone erupted into a shrill ring.

It was Erin.

Matthew’s brow furrowed at the sight of her name, and asked coldly, “What’s up?”

“Mr.

Clark, there’s been an incident.

Mrs.

Clark… she’s fainted,”

Erin stammered.

A visceral reaction clenched Matthew’s heart-an unseen hand gripping it tightly.

He fought to maintain his composure, replying sharply, “There’s no need to trouble me with such matters.

Call the family doctor.

”

He ended the call, but the lingering sense of unease grew stronger, impossible to ignore.

After a brief inner battle, he commanded, “Turn around.

Take me to Prosper Bay.

”

The driver, taken aback by the sudden change, complied without a word, swiftly rerouting their course.

Soon, the car pulled up to Prosper Bay.

Matthew ascended the stairs two at a time, unaware of the reasons fueling his urgency.

But now, he had no time to dwell on it.

As he reached the landing, he encountered the doctor and Erin.

Erin, surprised by his rapid arrival, greeted him hastily.

Matthew brushed past her, his gaze fixed on the doctor.

“How is she?” he demanded.
