Matthew Morgan looked at her and sighed softly, "Co here."
Chloe Grant, who had her head down, swayed slightly, then slowly lifted her head to look at him standing there.
"Co here."
He repeated.
Chloe Grant didn’t move, just looked at him.
Her eyes, already turning red.
Matthew Morgan frowned.
Before he could speak, Chloe Grant directly spoke up, "Ralph Koch told that what you hate most is when I feel moved by everything you’ve done for , feel guilty, and that’s why I want to get close to you."
As she spoke, Chloe Grant smiled, "Actually, before today, I always felt a sense of unreality about what you once did for .
That’s why I felt unable to get close to you.
Instinctively respecting you, fearing you, dreading you..."
At this mont, Chloe Grant’s mind was filled with mories of being thoroughly protected in the darkness.
Even in such dangerous situations, she remained unscathed.
"It wasn’t until after that life-and-death experience that I suddenly felt a sense of reality."
She looked at him, her eyes incredibly red.
"Matthew Morgan, I want to get close to you, not because of so so-called guilt. I just... feel empathetic towards you."
Just want to hug you.
Once, Chloe Grant had talked with Lily Grant about love.
Chloe Grant still rembered saying, "What I want most from love is to have sothing to look forward to every day. I look forward to seeing him, and when I see him, I want to hug him.
That’s it."
Chloe Grant slowly walked toward him.
When she was about half a ter away from Matthew Morgan, he suddenly reached out and pulled her directly into his arms.
His large hand cupped the back of her head, pressing her face into his chest.
Thump, thump, thump!
Chloe Grant could feel his heartbeat very clearly.
She slowly extended her hand...
Initially just gripping Matthew Morgan’s coat, she finally moved her hands inch by inch toward his back, wrapping them around his slender waist.
Hugging him tightly!
Matthew Morgan lowered his head slightly, his lips brushing lightly against her earlobe.
Just a pure touch, then he lifted his head and tightened his embrace around her.
Neither of them said a word.
It seed...
that any words at this mont were superfluous.
The silent hug, feeling each other’s warmth, breathing, and heartbeat... was the most beautiful.
The moonlight outside bore witness to their embrace.
The gaze of soone outside carried a sense of relief, whispering "finally."
Ralph Koch moved swiftly and jumped up to the window on the upper floor.
He patted the dust off his body.
Suddenly he paused, thinking about the people downstairs who seed to have been embracing for an eternity, his face naturally broke into a smile.
When he’s fierce, he’s sowhat frightening, cold.
But when he smiles, the distinct laugh lines by his mouth give his smile a purity others don’t have.
...
That night, Matthew Morgan was set to be discharged from the hospital.
Though Isabella Gray strongly opposed it, she couldn’t argue with Matthew Morgan and eventually could only agree.
Letting Matthew return to the family estate so she could take good care of him.
But Matthew Morgan refused as well.
This series of actions almost made Isabella Gray sever ties of care with Matthew Morgan.
"Grandma, I’ll take care of Uncle Morgan..." Chloe Grant walked beside Isabella Gray.
Listening to her nagging for quite a while, she finally spoke shyly.
Since Chloe Grant was no longer legally connected to the Morgan family, she hadn’t called Isabella "Grandma" for an entire year.
Once, when Chloe called her "Ms. Gray," Isabella got furious and scolded Chloe for a long ti before she started calling her "Grandma" again.
