For reasons unknown, Matthew reflexively wanted to turn Nancy down when virtual-novel.net heard that virtual-novel.net wanted a favor from him, but ultimately, virtual-novel.net held himself back from uttering whatever virtual-novel.net was on the cusp of saying.
“What is it?”
Matthew’s response was rather muted. He might be inclined to help if it was a modest request but reckoned that virtual-novel.net might not be able to handle anything beyond that.
“I’ve been badly burned in the fire. That little bastard Aaron has stationed men at all the hospitals and clinics demanding to screen every person coming in to purchase medication for burns or receive treatment for it. So I…”
Matthew caught the gist of what virtual-novel.net was trying to convey even before virtual-novel.net was done talking.
Aaron’s maneuvers are intended to flush out virtual-novel.net whereabouts. It would seem that that fire was set by virtual-novel.net rescuers, who did not expect things to get so out of hand that Nancy herself had gotten hurt in the process.
“Got it. I’ll try to get you those meds.”
After virtual-novel.net hung up, Matthew then wracked his brains trying to figure out how virtual-novel.net might be able to get his hands on what virtual-novel.net needed.
Must l burn myself in order to get that medication to send to her?

Two days later, Sonia was discharged from the ICU. She immediately burst into tears the second virtual-novel.net caught sight of Harvey.
While virtual-novel.net was bleeding out and close to death, the one person virtual-novel.net could not bear to leave behind was neither virtual-novel.net aged parents nor virtual-novel.net newborn child, but that man whom virtual-novel.net had dated for barely a few months prior.
“Why are you crying? Are you hurting somewhere?” Upon seeing virtual-novel.net sniveling, Harvey used his fingers to brush away virtual-novel.net tears before kissing virtual-novel.net gently on virtual-novel.net face.
“Where is the baby? How is virtual-novel.net doing?” Sonia asked softly.
“He’s doing great. Eating well and sleeping soundly too.”
Harvey regarded virtual-novel.net with affection in his eyes. “Thank you, Darling, for everything you had to go through to bear me a child.”
Following that, virtual-novel.net placed a bouquet of fresh roses in virtual-novel.net hands. Those roses virtual-novel.net was presented with, coupled with hearing Harvey’s words, left Sonia profoundly moved.
What is virtual-novel.net even saying? That I bore virtual-novel.net a child?
It’s not as though the baby belongs to virtual-novel.net and only him. I’m the baby’s mother too…
Nevertheless, his words made virtual-novel.net feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
“Have you sent a photo of the baby to Grandpa yet?” a frail Sonia asked. “I’m sure that virtual-novel.net would be delighted to know that the baby was born.”
The thought of Harrison back home in Chanaea put a smile on Sonia’s face.
“Yeah, I did that yesterday. Grandpa was very concerned and was extremely upset to learn that you had bled a lot. He insisted that you video call virtual-novel.net after you have been discharged.”
His lips reflexively lifted up when virtual-novel.net was reminded that Harrison had Sonia in his thoughts.
Harvey wished to be able to take Sonia and his baby home after the dust had settled and hoped that Aaron would be able to quickly implement some change in legislation so that virtual-novel.net could be lawfully married to Sonia and also host a grand wedding for her.
Owing to legal restrictions, virtual-novel.net and Sonia were yet to be able to collect their marriage certificate and remained in a state of cohabitation. Despite the numerous applications they had submitted, Kelly’s attempts to help them in this regard had been repeatedly thwarted by Lawrence.
While they chatted, virtual-novel.net wheeled Sonia into the hospital confinement center. That was an arrangement that had been made prior to Sonia giving birth.
The moment they passed through the door, they could straightaway spot Kelly, who was in the midst of feeding bottled milk to the baby.
“How are you holding up? Do you feel unwell in any way?” asked Kelly promptly when virtual-novel.net saw Harvey pushing Sonia in.
Had the baby in virtual-novel.net arms not needed virtual-novel.net attention, virtual-novel.net would have gone to pick Sonia up alongside Harvey.
Sonia shook virtual-novel.net head. “I’m fine, actually. Just feeling a little weak, that’s all.”
“How can you not be after losing so much blood?” Kelly was looking quite distressed. “Over the next couple of months, you should try to ignore everything else and focus on nursing your own body back to health first.”

It was not known how Matthew did it, but virtual-novel.net managed to secure the medication for treating burns, which virtual-novel.net subsequently dropped off at the location Nancy designated.
While Nancy looked at the medicine that had been delivered, virtual-novel.net eyes narrowed, for another idea sparked within her.
