Chapter 160 Eavesdropping On His Phone Calls
As Matthew said, the maids were only summoned when needed.
In the afternoon, she saw a few other figures, maids, black and white maid outfits, they looked short,
but their movements were quick and neat.
Before waiting for an hour, the table was filled with her favourite dishes, healthy and light meals.
This feeling of being served everything is quite unreal when you think of it sometimes.
"How does it taste?"
Matthew was sitting right in front of her, he didn't move his chopsticks, his appetite was small, he just
watched her eat quietly.
"It's pretty good." Sarah grabbed another spinach for herself, spinach was high in calcium, suitable for
babies.
"That's good."
He looked relieved, loosing up his thin tight lips upon hearing her words.
It wasn't long before Sarah ate her fill. The man in front of her suddenly moved and took out his phone,
"Hello?"
Sarah was chewing rice grains slowly in her mouth but never swallowed, both sides of her mouth were
filled with round balls of food, making her look like a greedy little squirrel.
"Yes?" The man gazed at her, his tone light and calm.
"..."
"Since it's useless, throw it away." He was unperturbed.
The phone hung up after a couple of sentences, and the look on his face was nothing out of the
ordinary.
"Who is it?"
She wanted to know what was so useless that could be thrown away, can’t it be kept for recycling?
"Rubbish." Matthew lightly spat out two words, the lady swallowed all the rice in that instance.
The dishes that evening might be a little too much and the salt intake was pretty much too, so she
quietly opened the door and went downstairs to have a sip of water.
In case she might get up again in the middle of the night, Sarah also took a cup of water upstairs just in
case.
Just before entering the door, a voice came from the next room. She stopped her footsteps and walked
over to the door to place an ear on the door.
"Not suspicious? Are you sure?"
"..."
"You'd better keep an eye on it, have the doctor to come in tomorrow, latest by the day after tomorrow, I
want zero chance of errors or mistakes."
"..."
"On Andrew's side, you keep an eye on the people, if there's an accident, I can't guarantee that you'll
still be as safe as you are now."
That name caused Sarah's heart to stand still. No wonder she could not help but stop her footsteps.
Andrew… how long had she
Not mentioned this name.
It seemed that as soon as she heard that name, her heart will beat inexplicably.
Upon hearing Matthew's last sentence on the phone, it sent the man’s spine a chill as he immediately
swore, "Mr Scott, I promise you that they won't notice, the lady will always be by your side."
"I don't need you to remind me, she is already mine." Matthew was unhappy.
The man didn't dare to say anything else.
"Suspicion is bound to come sooner or later, but I will never allow this place to be discovered by them,
do you hear me?"
"Understood!"
"This is our world. I hate it when anyone else enters. No one can come near this place without my
permission, and I will not be soft on you if you disobey me."
The man had realized what Matthew really wanted to say, and underneath his heart, he felt icy cold.
Sarah was anxious, and from what Matthew had mentioned in his last cold words, she would sense
something strange even if she was stupid.
Besides, she wasn't stupid.
So, Andrew had been searching for her all this time?
But no matter how hard he searched, this was a lonely island. Even until now, she hadn't seen any
signs of communicating devices.
Cell phones, telephones, not even a television...
The only exception was that he was the only one who had these things on him.
According to Matthew's temper, it is only normal to not give her these things.
No wonder he will avoid her occasionally when he received a call or two. He will not answer them in
front of her eyes, except for the one this afternoon.
Hearing the harsh words by Matthew, Sarah felt her heart cramping bit by bit, contracting sharply.
She was suddenly so worried if Andrew never gave up searching. If he decided to challenge Matthew, it
would be a crazy dangerous thing! She'd rather he didn't come!
The consequences of being injured is a responsibility she would have to bear, she just can't imagine ...
Her heart was in turmoil, like ants gnawing, peeling blood from the outer layer of her heart.
"Clang-"
The glass in her hand fell to the floor, and the sound instantly reverberated through the air loud and
clear.
Water spilt all over the floor. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Sarah was scaring herself, her heart was racing and palpitating as fast as she could imagine, just when
she bent down, the door opened, Matthew instantly hugged her, "What happened?"
The way he embraced her was like grabbing a precarious object, his voice panicked and felt uneasy. It
was an instinctive subconscious reaction.
Sarah's breath was anxious, and Matthew was holding her from behind, her face still fresh with anxiety.
For about three seconds.
"Nothing, I went downstairs to have a glass of water. I just thought of bringing you a glass as well, but
just as I arrived at the door, my foot slipped."
The man's panting was no lighter than hers, afraid that she would disappear, his posture still
maintained.
"Why don't I go and pour you another glass, it's broken."
She couldn't see the expression on his face behind her, so she could only guess.
"Don't move."
Matthew ordered her to keep breathing beside her ear, his hands still in the same position of not letting
go, "I'm not thirsty, no need to do this for me. Although I'm happy, I can't bear to let you do it. I'll do it."
Sarah bit her lower lip unconsciously when she heard this.
It was a complete lie at that moment just now, she couldn't tell him that she heard all those words, to
confront Andrew head-on, how should she continue the conversation?
Pouring him water was the best reason to do it.
"I'll carry you to bed."
Without waiting for her agreement, he hugged her tightly and opened the door to enter.
Sarah subconsciously tightened her body, her eyes guarded tightly in defence.
"I'll send someone to clean up the glass on the floor. If you feel thirsty in the evening, call me, and I'll
get you some water."
"How am I supposed to call? Should I knock on your door?"
"There's an alarm on the bedside table." Matthew pointed.
"..."
"Do you need me to watch you sleep before you go out?"
"No, you can get out now."
She immediately turned her back on him, grabbing and dragging the blanket tightly in her hands.
Sarah tossed and turned with the difficulty of sleeping.
In the back of her mind, she kept thinking of what Matthew said.
It was like a whirlpool, the images formed in her mind poured all her consciousness into a bottomless
pit.
The inability to get in touch with the outside world was what she was most anxious about. For a long
time, she felt like she was living in another universe, without the freedom of ordinary people. What was
she supposed to do?
