Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

Coral thought for a moment, “Around six o’clock.”

She didn’t look at the time back then. It was five o’clock when Matthew called her to come over, and it took her about half an hour to pack up and come to the hospital. Matthew had then explained some things to her and sat at Dolores’s bedside for a while before leaving.

Dolores looked out the window. She couldn’t go out in this condition, and Matthew hadn’t shown up for a day, so it must be that the matter was difficult to handle.

She was feeling a little scared inside actually, after all, this was a situation that seemed practically unsolvable.

“What are you thinking about? Why do you look unhappy?” Coral asked worriedly, and then added, “You can’t exhaust your mind with your current physical condition.”

Dolores knew about her own condition. No matter how worried she was, she wasn’t of any help, so the only thing that she could do was to not cause trouble for Matthew.

She closed her eyes, “Coral, turn off the light. I’m taking a nap.”

The light was too bright, she couldn’t calm down.

Coral said okay then turned off the lights, and soon the lighting in the room dimmed.

Coral sat on a chair beside, “You go ahead and sleep. Call me if you don’t feel well. I’ll be here watching you.”

“I’m fine, Coral. You go take a rest.”

They got this floor to themselves. The room next door could be used for resting.

Coral didn’t feel comfortable for Dolores to be alone, “No, you just sleep, don’t worry about me. I’ll take a nap on the sofa when I’m sleepy.”

Coral was doing that out of concern and Dolores knew that she did it for her own good, so she didn’t say anything more and closed her eyes to sleep.

She wasn’t sleepy actually. She had already slept for a little while during the day, so she had little sleepiness. But then probably because she had been lying down for quite some time, she fell asleep unconsciously.

By the time Matthew came back, it was already close to twelve o’clock. The room was dark, and he turned on the light next to the door. Coral slept light, so she woke up when she heard the movement.

She stood up, “You’re back?”

Matthew gave out a light humph and walked straight to the bedside. Dolores was sleeping deeply and didn’t wake up.

He unbuttoned his collar, his gaze was looking at Dolores, but his words were asking Coral, “How does she feel today?”

nodded. He reached out to caress her cheek, a goose-egg like small face, white and delicate. Perhaps she was tickled by Matthew’s touch, Dolores moved a little and her eyelashes trembled slightly. She then slowly opened her eyes, and in a haze, she saw Matthew standing by the bed. She moved her body wanting to sit up, and Matthew wrapped his arm around her to help her and stuffed a pillow behind her, then softly asked, “Did I
