Chapter 1448: Chapter 1448: Is This You Caring About Me?

Scarlett Yates seemed to see a small dog abandoned in the corner of the wall, looking at Knox Simmons with his pitiful look, she couldn’t help but laugh and nodded at him: "Mm, I will go."

Once more assured, Knox Simmons felt a little relieved, his thin lips curled up as he smiled at her: "Then let’s meet again."

"Okay, let’s meet again."

--

Richmond Hotel.

While waiting for the dishes to be served.

Matthew Saxon covered his lips and coughed a few times, noticing Scarlett Yates was watching him, he coughed more vigorously, watching her face discreetly as he coughed.

"Why don’t you let the doctor give you a thorough check-up?"

Scarlett was initially indifferent, but seeing him cough more and more severely, her eyebrows furrowed involuntarily, eyes showing a trace of unrecognized worry.

But Matthew noticed.

He coughed a couple more times, pretending to be very tired, rubbed his brow for a while, then said hoarsely: "There’s nothing wrong, why check."

He’s said this many times before.

Hearing him say it again, Scarlett suddenly got angry, her face fell as she spoke coldly: "You haven’t had a proper check-up, how do you know there’s nothing wrong? Like you said, Knox couldn’t be that strong, he can’t knock you down with one punch; if it’s not because of him, then it’s your health that’s the issue, and without a thorough check-up, how would you know what’s wrong?"

Actually, Matthew didn’t need to pretend.

He genuinely felt tired and weary, his complexion always poor, even now, he was pale.

Just now when he coughed for such a long time, besides some pretending, he was indeed coughing for a period.

Although being yelled at by Scarlett, he wasn’t angry at all, instead, he felt relieved.

She still cares about him.

As long as he can confirm this, he doesn’t have to worry about her asking for a divorce.

Or even if she does bring it up, he might be able to keep her.

So after Scarlett yelled at him, Matthew seemed rather in a good mood as he smiled: "Is this you showing concern for me?"

Scarlett was startled, sneered: "Do you need my concern?"

"Why not need it." He replied quickly, his eyes fixed on her, "Scarlett, there are some things I must explain to you."

"Oh? Explain what?"

Scarlett detests her current self.

Because she found out, no matter how indifferent she acts, she truly worries about Matthew Saxon.

Whenever he coughed, her heart tightened.

Seeing him cough so painfully, she couldn’t ignore him or treat him as she initially intended.

Because Matthew’s condition appeared genuinely poor.

Matthew went silent for a few seconds, then slowly spoke: "I haven’t slept with that woman."

"I did bring her home, but nothing happened between us."

Scarlett’s face slightly turned, directing her gaze elsewhere, as if the window attracted her attention: "Oh, really? Why are you telling me this?"

"Because I don’t want you to misunderstand." Matthew stated directly, feeling his throat dry and itchy, paused, then gulped a large cup of hot water before slowly saying, "Also... I apologize for what happened that night."
