Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 65 The Reasons Behind Their Breakup

Erin had not gotten a chance to explain everything to Chandler before Matthew’s gaze fell upon her. Earlier, he had been too preoccupied with trying to avoid Chandler and had overlooked her. After all, his concert was swiftly approaching. He absolutely could not have any injuries on his face!

That was his responsibility as a celebrity to the public.

Now that he caught sight of the woman he loved on the ground, a twinge of pain shot through his chest. Matthew immediately walked over and got down on one knee. Nervously, he asked, “Erin, are you okay? Are you hurt?”

“I’m fine…”

Erin’s heart was cold. Even if Chandler hadn’t used his full force when he pushed her just now, it was enough to hurt her. It was

only when Matthew had helped her up that she realized the scrape on her knee..

“Don’t say you’re fine. Look, your knee is injured! I’ll take you to the hospital straight away.” Matthew exclaimed as he

effortlessly.

“I’ll send her to the hospital.” He swept a cold gaze over Erin.

Erin didn’t resist. Instead, she chose to remain silent in Chandler’s embrace. She didn’t want to tell Matthew that she was
