Had it not been for the clothes she was wearing, he would have thought she had deliberately come downstairs again to seduce him.

“All right.”

Aurelia nodded slightly and headed upstairs. She was truly exhausted.

Matthew watched as Aurelia ascended the stairs, then he settled back down on the couch.

His gaze fell upon the blanket on the floor.

There was milk in the refrigerator, so she heated it up, fried some eggs and ham, and made a sandwich with toast.

While it was being done, Matthew, dressed in casual attire, descended the stairs.

An hour later, the two of them showed up at the hospital.
