Chapter 982 An Injured Heidi
There was hardly any color on Heidi's face, and she looked extremely frail as her legs struggled to support her
weight. In a voice barely above a whisper, she said, "Thank you, all of you. I... | know all of you have my best
interests at heart, but | can't just stay here lying in bed. | need to work, and my daughter still needs money for
school. Please, please letgo home. I'm fine, aren't 1? Nothing a little medicine won't fix. Please letgo
home."
Just then, Crystal marched up to the anguished woman, and she looked annoyed as she bit out, "Miss Freeman,
don't you know that you're completely abandoning your own health if you were to insist on leaving the hospital?
You can always get back to work in a day or two, but if you don't get proper rest and treatment now, you'll have

expression when she saw Crystal, and she said hoarsely, "Miss Harrison, thank you for all that you've done for
me, but | really do think that I'm fine. Please just letgo home, Miss Harrison. | will spend the rest of my life
remembering how kind and generous you have been to me, but | really must go. If not, my daughter-my
daughter will be forced to drop out of school! | have to work so that | can pay for her tuition!"
Heidi had her head down as she tried to plead her case, explaining, "Miss Harrison, Leia was just confused for a
moment, is all, and technically, the person who randown with a motorbike was not her boyfriend but a friend
of his. The young man has apologized to me, as well. Miss Harrison, if | don't go back to work, how am | going to
put food on the table for Leia? She'd really be forced to drop out of schoo and chome. Please, please just let
Crystal's face had turned red with fury. Never have | ever encountered anyone as stubborn as her! Ugh!
Just then, Matthew approached with a puzzled expression and called out, "Heidi?"
Heidi froze at this, and when she looked up to register Matthew's presence, she blanched.
The air went still for a brief moment. Then Crystal exclaimed in surprise, "Do you know her, Matthew?"
However, before he could answer, Heidi abruptly turned on her heels and ran for the door. Matthew hurried to
pull her back by the arm and demanded anxiously, "Heidi, what are you doing here? Why didn't you let us know
that you were back in Eastcliff? We thought you'd gone back hfor good!"
Panic coursed through Heidi as her hands flew to cover her face. "No, no, you have the wrong person! I'm not
Heidi at all! You clearly havefor someone else, Matthew." Rendered speechless, Matthew raised a brow at
her. She just calledby name, which is as good as a confession.
She was still struggling to break away from Matthew, but with a wave of his free hand, he quickly summoned a
few other nurses to help him restrain the frantic woman. "Heidi," he began patiently, his eyes genuine pools of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmconcern. "You're not well enough to go running out of the hospital just yet. Why don't you go back to the ward
and get srest? We promise we'll help you no matter what." Heidi burst into tears. Gripping Matthew's arm
tightly, she begged, "Matthew, letgo back, please. You can't let my sister find out about my being here. I-I
don't want her to worry about me!"
He sighed when he heard this. Heidi was indeed the polar opposite of her siblings, Helen and Norman, both of
whom were only after the wealth of the Cunningham Family. Heidi, on the other hand, had a daughter studying in
Eastcliff, but she wouldn't even seek out her own sister for fear that she would only burden Helen with her
troubles.
All these years, Heidi had struggled as a single mother, and she raised her daughter without asking for anyone
else's help.
The truth was that her pride got the better of her; she wasn't so much worried about imposing on Helen as she
was about being made a laughing stock.
