Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 35

The sound of Matthew hitting the ground echoed in the house. He had fallen fainted on the ground of the first floor with his body covered by blood when Ada realized what just happened.

Ada turned pale. She quickly looked around and ran back to the bedroom before the servants came. She pretended that she didn’t know what happened and walked to the bed,

taking off her clothes.

Soon, the servants started shouting anxiously. “Matthew fell down the stairs.” “Call the ambulance!” “Where is Mr. Wright?” “We should immediately tell Mr. Wright!”

“Mr. Wright.” The door of the bedroom was pushed open with a bang. The maid immediately turned pale when she saw the two people on the bed. Her words stuck in her throat.

Ada suddenly screamed in a high pitch and quickly pulled the sheet to cover her body.

Wayne was startled out of his sleep. He opened his eyes and frowned. He suddenly sobered up when he saw Ada who was lying beside him half-naked. He asked unpleasantly, “Why are you here?”

Ada was so aggrieved that tears almost fell from her eyes. She said with a red face,“ Wayne, you, you were drunk. You made me…I…”

Wayne touched his forehead in a headache and was not able to remember what happened before. Then he asked the maid impatiently, “What are you doing here then?”

The maid finally remembered what she came here for and said anxiously, “Matthew… Matthew fell down the stairs and bled a lot.”

“What?” Wayne suddenly raised his head. His face was as dark as the cloudy sky. He immediately jumped out of bed and strode out without putting on his shoes. Ada also put her clothes on in a hurry

and followed him.

Matthew was rushed to the hospital, still in a coma. It wasn’t before long that Wayne’s grandfather knew about it.

“How did it happen?” The old man stood at the door of the operation room and asked Wayne anxiously, “How did he fall downstairs? Did any of those servants take care of him at all?”

Wayne sat silently on a sofa in the doorway, covered by the smell of alcohol.

“How much wine did you drink?” The old man was extremely angry now, “Look at yourself. How can you be a good dad this way?”

“Sir, Mr. Wright has to socialize with other people.” The butler explained for Wayne. “It was a dinner party held by the Chamber of Commerce of Birmingham. I had to go.”

When they were talking, the door of the operation room suddenly opened, and the doctor walked outside.

Wayne quickly stood up, “Doctor, how is my son?”

“His right forearm fractured, and his left arm was dislocated. There are some wounds on his skin. Fortunately, his head wasn’t hurt. Basically, there is nothing serious. Kids can recover at a fast speed.”

Despite the doctor’s words, the old man still felt that his heart was broken. After the doctors and nurses pushed Matthew outside the operation room and sent him to the ward, he sighed in front of Matthew’s bed, “Matthew has suffered a lot since he was born. He’s so little, but he has to stand so much pain. A broken bone. Oh, how painful must he be!”

Wayne twisted his eyebrows. Seeing that Matthew was sleeping soundly, he was finally relieved.

He asked the butler of his house in Kingsford neighborhood, “What happened today? How did he fall down the stairs?”

Normally, he should be sleeping in his own room at that time.

The butler also had no idea, “I was checking the doors and windows in the house. Suddenly a maid shouted that Matthew fell down. When I went to the living room, I saw Matthew lying on the ground of the first floor, covered by blood. I asked all the people, and they all said that they weren’t staying with Matthew when it happened. He probably slipped

and fell down.”

Wayne became more and more gloomy, “Fire the servants who should’ve taken care of Matthew today. Go find some more responsible people. I don’t want this to happen ever

again.”

The butler quickly nodded, “Yes, Mr. Wright.”

Meanwhile, Anna was having a good sleep. Tammy suddenly opened her bedroom door and ran to her. She crawled onto the bed and lifted Anna’s blanket.

“Mommy, mommy. Something bad happened.”

“What?” Anna turned around and struggled to open her eyes to look at Tammy, “Aren’t you here with me, safe and sound?”

“Not me. It’s my brother. My brother is injured.”

“What brother? When did you have a brother?” Anna was first surprised and then closed her eyes. She pulled her blanket back and murmured, “You must have a bad dream.”

Tammy pulled Anna’s arm and tried to get her out of bed. She shouted anxiously, “It’s Matthew! Matthew fell down the stairs and hurt himself!”

“That’s impossible.” Anna couldn’t keep her eyes open. She weakly pushed Tammy’s little hands and begged her, “Mommy’s really sleepy. Let me sleep, OK? It’s just a dream.” Matthew falling off the stairs at midnight? What is she thinking?

Tammy stamped her feet angrily because Anna wouldn’t believe her, “Mommy, if you won’t go with me, I’ll go by myself. There are a lot of bad people out there at night. If you don’t worry about me, you can go back to sleep.”

Then she ran out of the room.

At first, Anna thought she was only joking. Then she walked out of the bed and saw that Tammy was really packing her school bag and putting on clothes.

“Are you really going outside? Do you know what time it is now?” Anna ruffled her hair and looked at the clock, “God, it’s two o’clock in the morning. Where are you going?”

“The hospital.”

Tammy angrily put on the socks, “Mommy, you have no empathy. I don’t want to talk to you.”

Speechless, Anna supported herself with one hand on the door and put the other on her waist, “What empathy? You only have a bad dream. I’ll be crazy if I go to the hospital with you only because of a dream.”

“It’s not a dream. Matthew really fell down the stairs. It’s true.”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“OK.” Anna didn’t know what to say, “Even if Matthew really fell down the stairs, why are you so anxious? He’s not your real brother. Look at yourself. All panic.”

“Mommy, you’re in my way.” Tammy got dressed and carried her school bag, standing in front of Anna. She pushed away Anna’s hand and walked out of her bedroom.

“Wait, are you really going?” Anna finally realized that Tammy was serious when she saw Tammy putting on her shoes at the door.

“OK, OK. Wait a minute. Let me put on some clothes. I’ll go with you.”

After they finally caught a taxi on the street, Anna hesitantly asked Tammy, “Which hospital are we going?”

“Birmingham Hospital for Special Surgery.” Tammy’s cute voice echoed in the car and sounded quite serious.

So she knows which hospital Matthew is in? Anna felt confused and asked, “Are you sure it isn’t a bad dream? How do know Matthew is staying in hospital? Who told you that?”

Tammy pouted, “I just know.”

“What? This is pure madness.” Anna was totally at a loss. Once again, she felt that it was completely crazy to go outside without sleeping and rush to a hospital with her daughter at midnight.
