''If I tell her now that the baby was not mine, would she still be willing to have sex with me?'' Matthew wondered.


    Erica''s thought processes were different from that of normal people. Just in case she refused to have a baby with him, Matthew chose not to correct her assumptions about Phoebe''s baby.


    But... He couldn''t give himself away either. So, he pulled her arms off his neck and asked calmly, "You thought that I would dly ept yourpensation, didn''t you? Get some rest first. I''ll think about it."


    ''Huh? He needs to think about it?'' Erica grumbled to herself.


    Matthew had always said that she didn''t love him, but right now, it was he who didn''t love her at all! She was tantly open about her intentions, almost blurting out, "Please sleep with me!" But he had to think about it?


    But she calmed down quickly when she remembered that he had just lost his unborn child. This was not the time to argue or fight with him.


    Matthew went into the bathroom. Erica was feeling sleepy and dozed off before he came out.


    The next day, instead of going to school, Erica went to the hospital to see Phoebe.


    Before she arrived at the hospital, she was mentally prepared to see Matthew and Phoebe together in the ward. However, when she opened the door, she was slightly surprised to see that only Phoebe and her father were inside.


    They weren''t expecting her visit either, so they were obviously stunned.


    Phoebe was visibly upset at the sight of Erica. She red at the girl and yelled, "What are you doing here? You killed my child! How dare you show your face here?"


    Lyman was a little embarrassed by his daughter''s resentful attitude. "Mrs. Huo, I''m sorry. Phoebe hasn''t recovered yet. Could youe backter?"


    Erica smiled and said politely, "Mr. Su, I''m sorry. I have to talk privately with Phoebe. Could you please...?"


    Lyman understood. He couldn''t afford to offend Matthew''s wife. So, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and told them, "I''m going out for a smoke. You girls talk."


    "Thank you, Mr. Su."


    He nodded with a smile and left the ward.


    Phoebe had no need to pretend anymore since they were left alone now. She stared at Erica indifferently.


    Sitting in the chair next to the bed, Erica supported her chin with one hand and asked in a low voice, "Do you think I can''t prove my innocence without the surveince video? Or are you dr


    in to him and that she would exaggerate and nder her. So, it was best that Erica informed him first.


    ''Mistress Su?'' Matthew was amused by her words. He adjusted his emotions and asked in a low voice, "Why are you so damn arrogant after pping her?"


    "She deserves it! If she ever got pregnant with your baby again, I would dly push her and make her have a miscarriage again!" ''That bitch used me of killing her baby! I might as well just do it!'' she thought angrily.


    "You wouldn''t dare."


    "Yes, I would!"


    ''Very good, '' Matthew thought with a smile. He gave her a thumbs up in his mind.


    There was a hint of coldness in the man''s voice when he spoke again. "You don''t have to go see Dad and Mom. I don''t have time to care about silly trifles between women."


    Erica breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, good for you! I don''t want to disturb you. Bye, Mr. Huo."


    Matthew sighed inwardly. Wasn''t there anything else she wanted to talk to him about other than Phoebe?


    But before he could ask, the woman hung up on him.


    Looking at his phone helplessly, Matthew went back to his desk and asked the department manager to continue with his report.


    A few minutester, his phone vibrated again. It was Phoebe.


    He frowned and put the phone aside, letting it vibrate on his desk.


    Phoebe called him twice. She figured he was busy since he didn''t pick her call. She sent him a message instead.


    "Matthew, Erica has gone too far! I''m at the hospital to recuperate. She came here, and instead of apologizing, she pped me in the face! My face is swollen because of her!"
