After a few seconds of intense staring, Matthew suddenly burst intoughter, as if he had heard a particrly amusing joke, though his expression remained grim.


    After a pause, he spoke slowly.


    “Ste, you rushed to mypany today just for Farris’ sake?” His voice was cold.


    Ste had already guessed the answer, her own tone turning cold as she responded, “So you did it? Matthew, can’t you let go of Farris?


    He’s an excellent doctor and a dear friend of mine.


    He shouldn’t have been suspended.


    ”


    Ste clenched her fists, her eyes fixed on him.


    Matthew didn’t expect her to be so serious.


    He looked at her indifferently and retorted in a stern tone, “Farris is inconsequential.


    He doesn’t deserve you to plead for him.


    ”


    Matthew was infuriated by Ste’s words.


    He couldn’t believe she would misunderstand him.Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    “Ste, I’m your husband.


    ” Matthew sighed, his anger giving way to disappointment.


    Ste stared at him, her expression nk at first.


    But when she noticed the disappointment in his eyes, her own eyes welled up with tears.


    She hade seeking answers, but she hadn’t expected the situation to reach such an impasse.


    Taking a deep breath, Ste suddenly adopted a resolute stance.


    “Farris is my friend.


    He didn’t make any wrong diagnoses.


    Mr.


    rk, you shouldn’t have pressured him into resigning.


    ”


    The ironic reference to “Mr.


    rk” only seemed to further sour Matthew’s mood, and he fixed her with a chilling stare.


    Unfazed, Ste met his gaze with pure determination, her eyes reflecting her anger.


    Matthew couldn’t contain his frustration any longer and erupted in rage.


    “Ste, I’ve warned you not to associate with Farris again, or you’ll regret it.


    ” His voice resonated through the quiet office, his eyes growing even colder.


    Ste’s expression changed, her eyes filling with disbelief.


    Was Matthew admitting that he was responsible for Farris’ suspension?


    Was he the influential figure Aileen had mentioned?


    Emotions overwhelmed Ste, and tears welled up as she sobbed, “Matthew, it was really you, wasn’t it? How could you do something like this? You’re so cruel!”


    Upon hearing Ste’s words, Matthew’s eyes instantly turned dark.


    He hadn’t anticipated that, after spending so much time together, he would appear so cruel in Ste’s eyes.


    He couldn’t even hold a candle to Farris, a recent acquaintance.


    Could it be that Farris had a history with Ste before?
