Wronged and Defiant: The Ex-Wife's Struggle novel Chapter 7

I told her to take deep breaths and control her emotions to avoid getting too agitated.

I wanted to call the police, but I didn't have the strength.

Soon after, loud knocking sounded from outside the room.

I pressed my hand on her arm, signaling her not to move.

The noise outside grew more impatient as if the person wouldn't leave until we opened the door.

Her trembling hands were just about to dial the police when the door was suddenly kicked open.

The intruder was wearing a mask and a hat, making it impossible to see his face.

But the intense anger radiating from him was palpable.

The moment he saw me, he shouted angrily:

"Homewreckers deserve to die!"

As soon as he spoke, Matthew's mother clutched her heart and collapsed from the side of the bed to the floor.

The hospital security arrived just in time to drag him away before he could reach me.

She was rushed to the operating room for emergency treatment.

I was so worried that I painfully dragged my injured body to the door of the operating room.

When Matthew arrived at the hospital, he was on the verge of breaking down, his hands gripping his hair in despair.

I had never seen him so vulnerable.

"It was those people from the livestream... they were angry and wanted to get revenge for Caroline Clark..."

"I'm sorry... I couldn't protect you."

I wanted to stay and comfort him, to wait together for his mother's surgery to end, but he forcibly took me back to the hospital room.

Fortunately, the surgery was successful, and Matthew's mother was saved.

Matthew arranged for us to stay in the same hospital room.
