Blind Date Turned Proposal

Chapter 40

Josie rushed to the hospital as fast as she could, attracting a lot of curious stares.

“Dr. Sander! She pushed through the crowd and grabbed Matthew’s arm. “What’s going on?”

Matthews raised his eyebrows gently and traced his finger along her face. “Your makeup…”

Josie looked embarrassed, “I’m sorry. I was in such a hurry that I didn’t have time to remove it. Where is she?”

“The security just brought her away. Don’t worry. I didn’t return her the balance.”

Josie was relieved to hear that. She patted her chest. “Great. Thank you so much.”

“My stepmother… is a little blinded by money. I’m really sorry for causing the hospital trouble. Sorry.”

“You don’t have to apologize for that. Although I’m not your father’s doctor now, I know you and your family well. You don’t have to feel embarrassed in front of me.”

Matthew patted her shoulder gently.

At that moment, Josie sat on the chair along the corridor. She spoke to Matthew gratefully. “Luckily, you were here today. No, luckily, you were here all these years. I love listening to you. You have always given me strength, unlike some other people…”

Mathew smiled as he looked at Josie. She still looked cute to him, although she was wearing a ghost’s makeup.

“Well, do you want to go see your stepmother?”

Josie got up from her chair, exhausted. After taking a few steps, she realized that Matthew was following her.

“Dr. Sander, are you not at work?”

“I changed my slots with a colleague before you arrived. Don’t worry.”

Josie felt relieved to have a man accompany her. She was grateful to Matthew.

At this moment, Jenny was being scolded by security in the surveillance room. “Do you think that the hospital is your home? That you can do whatever you want here?”

Jenny raised her head and saw two people walking into the room. She quickly shouted out loud, “Josie!”

“Sir, this is my daughter. Please let me go!”

The security turned around and saw a woman in weird makeup. “Are you her daughter?”

“Stepdaughter.” Josie corrected him.

“Well, even if you were adopted, I took care of you all these years. You ungrateful wrench! How could you tell us you have no money for your brother’s wedding when you can pay two hundred thousand for this dying man? If I knew you would be so ungrateful, I would have starved you to death back then!”

Josie watched the woman go crazy.

She remembered Paul telling her that it was an arranged marriage. But how could there be no feelings between them after having been married for so many years? Jenny even thought of giving up her husband’s life so that her son could get married.

Such cruelty.

“Enough!” Josie shouted. “Let me tell you the truth. That two hundred thousand does not belong to me. I do not have any money. I only have my life if you want it.”

Jenny suddenly became anxious. She quickly rushed up to Josie and scratched her face. “Whose money is it if not yours? Oh, is it the doctor’s? Did you marry him so he could support your father’s medical bills? Did you sleep with him to save that dying man?”

‘Slap!’

The slap was so hard Jenny’s face turned to one side. She held her cheek in her hand and gaped at the man in the white robe beside Josie with disbelief.

Josie was shocked too. She had known Matthew to be the gentlest man on Earth. He had never hit anyone before. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Dr. Sander…”

“How dare you hit me!”

“The slap was for Josie. I did it since she did not dare to. You can call the police to report me. Let’s see if the police will charge you for false accusations!”

Jenny widened her eyes. She was at a loss for words.

Josie felt so much better. Her lips curled up into a smile as she added, “Do you want to continue to stay here, or do you want to stay at the station? You choose.”
