Take My Breath Away Chapter 1361

Chapter 1361 - A Heart Attack

Matthew grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the bed. "You can stay here if you want from now on. I only came here to sleep with you. Whether the children are doing well or not has nothing to do with you anymore."

"Oh really? Didn't you say that you already divorced me? Then why do you have to come and sleep with me?" Erica asked. 'He must have lied to me about the divorce.

Since he keeps on coming here to see me again and again, he must still love me.' As these thoughts came to her mind, she wrapped her arms around his neck happily and waited for his answer.

She wasn't aware that her natural fragrance had already turned him on. "Do I need a reason to sleep with a woman?"

"It's either you are a masochist, or you have a quirk. There are so many beautiful women in Y City, but you came all the way to Tow Village just to sleep with me. Matthew, are you still in love with me?" They both knew very well the distance between Tow Village and Y City.

Instead of answering her question, he lowered his head to kiss her on the lips to hide his embarrassment.

She was overjoyed. His actions clearly implied that he still loved her, and it wasn't true that he divorced her.

The next morning, while Erica was still asleep, an earthshaking event happened in the village.

The sirens of the police cars had awakened her. As she turned over in the bed, she found out that the man who made love to her the whole night wasn't there anymore.

Upon realizing that she was the only one in the room again, she abruptly sat up on the bed.

She put on her pajamas casually and got out of bed in a hurry to look for Matthew. However, as soon as she stood up, her legs felt very weak that she sank back into bed.

'Oh, my God!' she exclaimed silently, wincing in pain.

She clearly knew that Matthew had come to her with anger for the second time. He had surely given her a hard time. Looking down at the marks on her body, she couldn't help but frown. 'Oh, how humiliating! Never mind. I'll just change my clothes first.'

After putting on a set of clothes that hid her hickeys, she went out of the room. In the yard, she saw a man and a woman staring at each other with Owen expressionlessly standing next to them.

Chantel, who was in a cold sweat, finally felt a little relaxed upon seeing Erica coming out of the house. But since Matthew's cold eyes were still on her, she couldn't even move to greet her.

However, Erica was happy to see her, so she ran over and hugged her. "Chantel, I'm so glad you're here. Are you not busy today?" In the past three years, whenever Chantel was free, she would always fly to Tow Village to see the children.

Chantel nodded. She tried to bite the bullet and said, "Rika…" But Matthew's presence hindered her from saying anything. She was still in shock because she had never expected to meet him here.

It was only then that Erica noticed something unusual. Seeing the sweat on Chantel's forehead, her instinct told her that something was wrong. When she turned to Matthew and saw his gloomy face, she instantly understood what was going on.

She grabbed Chantel's arm and pulled her behind her before facing the cold man and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Matthew's gaze moved from her face down to her neck. Although she wore a turtle neck blouse to cover the hickeys in there, they still didn't escape his eyes. He swallowed to clear the lump in his throat and answered, "I want to send her to the slum."

Chantel was a member of the Li family, and she was very aware that both the Huo family and the Li family had been looking for Erica these past three years. She knew all along but she hid her whereabouts from all of them. If she had told him earlier that Erica was here, he wouldn't have suffered being alone for more than three years.

Frightened by his expression and tone, Chantel immediately grabbed Erica's clothes.

Sensing her nervousness, Erica stretched out her arms to protect her like a mother hen protecting her chick. "Matthew, don't blame her. It's all my fault. You can't send her to the slum."

Without saying anything, he turned around and walked out of the yard. She hurriedly stopped him, "Hey, where are you going?"

Since he didn't reply, Owen explained on his behalf, "Mrs. Huo… I mean Miss Li, the car is ready. Mr. Huo is going back to Y City now."

'What? Does this man never get tired? He came all the way here to sleep with me and immediately leave the next morning, ' she thought.

But then, she immediately ran to him and asked expectantly, "Matthew, aren't you going to take me with you?"

Her mission was completed because she had taken all the necessary photos. She only needed two days to take care of other things, then she could already leave this place.

However, Matthew got into the car without looking back and left without saying a word to her.

She stood there, confused. It seemed that he was making it more and more difficult for her to understand what was in his mind.

Not long after Matthew had left, Erica, Tessie, and Chantel went to Kirk's yard to check what was going on.

At a glance, Erica saw the handcuffed Kirk and Pike. They were standing in the yard next to a police car, watching some police officers moving their things from the basement bit by bit.

The three of them walked up to Kirk.

When he looked up at them and saw Erica, rage filled his eyes in an instant as he cursed, "Bitch!"

Erica didn't show any trace of anger. She just pulled off the mask that was covering half of his face expressionlessly. As soon as the mask was removed, the half of his face that looked horrible because of the fire was exposed. Chantel couldn't help looking away.

Even Pike, who was very close to him, had never seen this side of his face. He almost couldn't believe it.

"Kirk Qin," Erica called out.

He looked at her but said nothing.

There was a long silence before Erica asked in a low voice, "Do you still remember a crime you committed in Kwan City three years ago wherein you ruthlessly pulled out a pregnant woman to take the blame for you?"

Kirk's eyebrows were drawn together as if he were trying to recall what she had reminded him. He then looked at her up and down with widened eyes. He was trying to find any trace of that pregnant woman in her.

Erica seemed to have read his mind, so she crouched down and rubbed her clean white hand on the ground a few times, then rubbed her soiled hand to her face. In an instant, she looked like a different person.

Seeing her dirtied face, Kirk recognized her at a glance.

His memory immediately traveled back to three years ago. He had an illegal transaction in Kwan City at that time, but the police discovered him. To avoid being arrested, he casually pulled a pregnant woman who happened to be standing next to him and made her a scapegoat. But he remembered that the woman was not put in jail. Instead, the police arrested another man.

Knowing what he was thinking, Erica nodded and said, "Yes, I was not arrested at that time. Instead, my good friend Orange shouldered the consequences of your evilness!" Orange was one of the members of the idol group, FC. She met him in a hotel when she was on a business trip with Matthew back then.

"Then what happened to him?" Kirk asked eagerly.

Hatred flashed across Erica's eyes as she said, "He… died." Yes, Orange had a heart attack and died inside the prison.

During that incident, he happened to be with her. She was about to give birth at that time, so her belly was already very big. He couldn't afford to watch his pregnant friend being held by a group of people holding daggers against her neck, so he went out and took the blame for them.

At first, they thought that he wouldn't stay long in jail. After all, he was innocent. The police wouldn't be able to find any evidence against him, so he would definitely be released immediately.

However, something happened to him before he could be released.
