True Love Waits

Chapter 1430 A Similar Disaster

Erica said with a forced smile, "Matthew, promise me that you will marry the beautiful and gentle eldest princess of some rich family instead of the naughty youngest one that always causes trouble..." She

remembered her father himself once calling her his naughty little princess.

"In my eyes, there is no distinction between the eldest and the youngest princesses. Rika, you're the only princess in my heart," Matthew told her affectionately. No matter how naughty she was, he didn't mind. His wealth, spirit, and body could withstand any torture she might inflict on him.

With some difficulty, she forced another smile. 'Did I get burned in the back? It hurts!' she thought to herself. "Matthew, I once said I would love you in my own way. In this life, I only love you. You're my heaven and my destiny." And she would love him in her next life as well.

A long time ago, her mother told her and her sister what happened the year that Gifford was born. Back then, Blair had run into a group of gangsters, who had tried to kill Wesley at the gate of their house. Blair, who had been pregnant with Gifford, had got seriously injured in order to save Wesley. With her body bleeding and spitting blood out of her mouth, she didn't think she was going to survive at the time.

Many years later, it was Erica's turn to save her beloved from the fire and get seriously injured in the process as well.

Now, her whole body ached due to the burning beam that had hit her. She wanted to keep talking but spat out blood instead.

Ironically, fate had brought mother and daughter face to face with similar disasters.

In Blair's case, she had been in a coma in the hospital for a long time before she woke up.

But what about Erica? If she closed her eyes now, would she ever wake up to see Matthew and the kids again?

Gritting his teeth, Matthew tried to calm himself down and asked, "Rika, don't you want to hear me say that I love you? So, don't close your eyes. Hold on. When you recover, I'll tell you that I love you every day. Rika, I love you very much..."

At that instant, the sound of someone kicking the iron door came from outside, but Matthew didn't seem to hear it. Instead, he continued to confess his love to his girl, "You're my heart, my lungs... If it weren't for you, every organ in my body would collapse. How could I breathe again without my lungs? Do you have the heart to let me die with you like this?"

Blood kept flowing down from the corner of Erica's mouth. However, she managed to shake her head. She couldn't let Matthew die. There were still too many things he could do in his life. Unlike her, a useless person who could only eat, drink, and cause trouble; Matthew had a lot to accomplish.
