In Seamarsh, Matthew brought Ste back to Prosper Bay.
When Ste dozed off, Lucia called.
Lucia fretted over Ste on the phone.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
“Matthew, is Ste asleep?
Your grandpa and I are both fretting over her after tonight’s mishap.
Should we send the doctor to check her out?”
“No, I already did,” Matthew reassured.
“The doctor’s seen to her wound and said it’s not too deep.
We just have to keep an eye on it for a bit.
Nobody wanted such a thing to go down.
Plus, the man was sent by Carl.
Matthew was the only one Carl wanted to deal with.
He was to me for letting such a mess go unnoticed.
Lucia still felt bad.
“If you’re tied up with work, bring Ste over.
I can give her better care.
”
Matthewforted her.
“Don’t stress.
I got this covered.
It’ste now.
You and grandpa should hit the hay.
Once Ste’s back on her feet, I’ll bring her by to see you.
”
Lucia wanted to say more, but in the end, she just sighed and hung up.
That night, Ste had nightmares from the pain and shock.
The next morning, she rose early.
Before she could head to the set, Matthew stopped her.
“It took two days off for you.
Luther’s going to shoot the male lead and supporting roles first.
Even if you go to set now, can’t shoot with your hand wrapped up.
”
Ste nced at her bandaged palm and nodded.
“Sorry.
I didn’t do a good job protecting you this time.
You got hurt.
” Matthew sighed, eyeing Ste’s injured hand with remorse.
Ste gave him aforting pat on the back, smiling.
“The doctor said it’s not serious.
Two days’ rest and it’ll be good as new.
I’ll chill at home, go over the script.
”
Matthew grumbled in response.
Ste snuggled up beside him, steering the conversation away.
“I’m starving.
What do you have for breakfast?”
Matthew eased up.
“I’ll whip something up.
What’s your fancy?”
“You’re a cooking whiz now? I can request anything?” Ste teased.
Matthew grinned.
“Just for you.
”
The tension lifted.
Ste headed to freshen up, urging Matthew to hit the kitchen.
By the time she made it downstairs, breakfast was ready.
