"What happened to Rika? How is she now?" Gifford asked anxiously.
Through the glass window of the ward, Matthew gazed at the sleeping girl in the hospital bed and said in a low voice, "Some people bullied her on campus. She has a high fever. She just fell asleep."
"Bullied on campus?" There was a trace of disbelief in Gifford's voice. 'How dare someone treat Rika violently! Did they do this realizing who she was?' he wondered angrily.
"Don't worry. I will look into it." Matthew wasn't going to rest until he punished all those who were involved in this incident.
"Okay. Call me if you need any help."

At Li family residence in A Country
As soon as Gifford hung up the phone, his father asked, "Did Rika bully someone?" Wesley had heard Gifford say something about bullying. He just assumed that Erica was up to no good again.
Gifford sighed and answered, "She was bullied."
Blair gasped and Wesley froze. He gritted his teeth and snarled, "She was such an arrogant brat when she was with us. And yet, she has become a victim of bullying in Y City. Who had the audacity to touch my daughter?" Grumbling something seemingly dangerous under his breath, he started to head upstairs.
Blair grabbed his arm and asked, "Where are you going?"
"To get my weapon and kill the bastards who hurt my daughter!" Wesley doted on his daughter. He wanted nothing more than to beat the shit out of those who had bullied his precious girl.
"Dad, relax. Do you think Matthew will just sit by and let them go?" Gifford said calmly. Matthew Huo was not a man to be trifled with. He wouldn't sit by and watch after something like this happened to his wife.
Wesley calmed down and told Gifford, "Tell Matthew not to go easy on those assholes. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens!"
Gifford stood up from his chair and said, "You don't have to take any responsibility. If Matthew can't handle even this, why did you marry Rika to him? Just stay with Mom and take care of Ethan. Although she was bullied, I'm guessing your daughter wouldn't have suffered much, judging from her character."
Saying that, he whistled at the little guy in Chantel's arms. The boy immediately giggled and called out in a cheerful voice, "Un...cle..."
ne so much for me, but I have done nothing for you." Ever since her marriage to Matthew, he had done everything in his power to keep her happy, and she had been enjoying every second of it.
The man was stunned. He touched her smooth forehead to make sure that her fever had gone down. "Don't worry about it. I have only done my duties as your husband."
With Erica by his side, his life had become so much more colorful.

Erica sighed. The word "husband" had a strange effect on her. But when she heard his words, she realized once again how wonderful it was to have a husband like Matthew.
After a moment of silence, Matthew asked her again, "Are you hungry?"
Before Erica could nod, her body responded promptly.
A low rumble resonated from her stomach, and both of them stared at each other in astonishment. Blushing, Erica cursed her belly for betraying her.
With a smile in his eyes, Matthew smoothed her long hair and said, "I'll get some food for you. Sit up."
Erica nodded and leaned against the bed with his help. She watched the man as he heated up the food which his men bought on his orders.
Soon, four particularly exquisite vegetables and a pot of soup were placed on the table in front of her. action
Matthew sat on the edge of the bed. He picked up the soup, blew on it and raised it to her lips. "Have some."
Erica was starving. She ate most of the soup before having the vegetables.
