Chapter 46: I’ll Help You

Dolores was dumbfounded. There was no anesthetic in the first aid box. Even if there was, she
wouldn’t know how to use it. She was unfamiliar with medication but she knew at least that anesthetic
must be administered by a doctor.

So how will she stop the pain?

“Why, why don’t you go to the hospital? I see that your injury is rather serious…”

The hot and humid breath enveloped them. Her mouth was shut at the next moment and Dolores was
stunned for a moment. She raised her hand but he grasped her hand before she could push him and
prevented her from moving. His kiss was more intense than before. Dolores’ body tensed up and
closed her eyes to savor the taste and wondered if it was the same as that night. At that moment, her
heart pounded strongly as if it could jump out of her chest at any time.

She wanted to forget that night but yet clearly remembered the feeling. Compared to Matthew, she
remembered it clearly but Matthew was in a daze. He was barely aware of the surroundings and
unclear of the details of that night. He barely felt what was going on and only knew that he had sex with
a woman and ruined her innocence. He was responsible for her.

The desires that Dolores gave him was perfect and something that Helen had never given him.

“Aren’t you scared?” His eyes were exceptionally attractive like it was full of water, sparkling and deep.
He looked at her profoundly, “Don’t you know that it was very dangerous?”

He was very surprised that she would lunge over to him.

Dolores held her breath. Scared, how could she not be scared? Except in that situation, she did it
without much consideration. If she had thought about it calmly for three seconds, perhaps she wouldn’t
do it.



Now she was wondering about how Beulah could do something without considering the consequences.
What triggered her to do these? Did something happen when Matthew visited to the Flores family with
her the other day?

Matthew’s gaze looked towards her moist lips and although she still despised him, it was not as bad as
the past. Was she getting used to his kiss?

“What’s on your mind?” Matthew took over the bandage and covered his wound.

Dolores was distracted and saw that he was bandaging his wound and said, “You have not cleaned the
wound…”

“It’s okay.” He calmly said.

Dolores looked at his actions and said aloud her doubts, “Has Beulah lost her mind? To think that she
dared to cause trouble over here...That day, did you touch…”

Matthew looked coldly and profoundly at her. What did she mean? Did she doubt him?

This was a mystery to Dolores for Beulah to cause so much trouble with no regard for her own safety.
Definitely something big had happened otherwise she wouldn’t behave in such an insane manner.

“I didn’t!” He practically shouted. What did she take him for? Did she think that he’ll sleep with any
woman?

“Then why was she here to cause trouble and seems to be after your life? Although what she did was
very foolish, she wouldn’t have done something so insane if she had not been forced to the limit.”

Dolores couldn’t figure it out but Matthew knew that it must be involved with Randolph. His eyes
darkened. Matthew didn’t say anything and Dolores thought that he didn’t know.



“It’s okay. I’ll go to do my work now.” She remained doubtful and packed up the first aid kit. Matthew
acknowledged, thought about something, and reminded her, “Randolph might look for you in these
couple of days.”

Dolores froze and turned to look at him, “How do you know?”

After she said, she seemed to realize something, “Were you involved in what happened to the Flores
group?” She didn’t know the details but she was certain that it had something to do with Matthew.
Otherwise, Beulah wouldn’t be so insane.

“Why did you do it?” Dolores did not pity Beulah nor Randolph but she didn’t understand Matthew’s
actions.

Matthew scoffed, “You endured her abuses but don’t allow me to flex my muscles?”

Dolores took a deep breath and pondered about which night’s issue was this grudge based on? She
thought about it quietly and then decided that this man cannot be offended.

Just as Dolores packed up the first aid kit and was about to leave the office, someone knocked on the
door.

Matthew stood up and sat at his table and then said calmly, “Come in.”

Abbott entered with some documents and was surprised to see Dolores in the room.

“These are all the information about the Flores Group.” Abbott handed over the documents to Matthew.

Dolores paused when she heard about the Flores Group and wanted to find out about what she didn’t
know.

“Do you want to take a look?” Matthew asked when he saw her expression.



Dolores nodded and answered sincerely, “Yes.”

Matthew didn’t take over the documents and signaled with his chin to Abbott, “Give them to her.”

Abbott’s eyes and mouth were wide open in surprise. When did Dolores become so familiar with Mr.
Nelson? His eyes twitched and for a moment, didn’t understand Matthew’s instructions.

“Abbott?” Dolores stretched out her hands and called out to him when Abbott didn’t give her the
documents.

“Ah? Oh, here you go.” Abbott handed over the documents, “These are the sales figures of the Flores
Group over these few years.” He said with disdain, “It got worse every year.”

It wasn’t that Abbott despised Randolph but he practically didn’t deserve any respect.

The Flores Group was transformed from a family business into a corporation. It was Randolph’s
grandfather who started the business. Although the rise wasn’t meteoric, its expansion was steady and
sure over the years.

But when it came to Randolph, there were two big crises after he took over 20 years ago. The first
incident was 19 years ago and the company almost went bankrupt. Thereafter he married Jessica and
managed to avoid bankruptcy. This time it was Randolph who put the company at risk and may not
survive this crisis even if Matthew didn’t stir any trouble.

Dolores knew that something happened at Randolph’s company but didn’t know that it was so serious.
In the past she wanted Randolph to divorce Beulah and he was reluctant to. But now his situation must
be rather dire to force Beulah to this extent. She didn’t desire any revenge but had a strong feeling of
sadness.

She placed the documents down and left the office with the first aid kit.



Just as Matthew predicted, Randolph was waiting for Dolores when she returned to the villa after work.
Perhaps these were the actions of someone who needed help. He brought the things that he didn’t give
her the last time and that piano.

Coral heard that he was Dolores’ father and was naturally very hospitable towards him.

“Your father waited a long time for you and said that these are your favorite possessions. He brought
these to you so that you’ll feel more at home.” Coral poured tea for Randolph and said as Dolores
came home.

Dolores turned to look at Matthew but he was expressionless as he unbuttoned his jacket with one
hand. Dolores extended her hand to help him, “Your arm is hurt. I’ll help you.”

Matthew acknowledged and removed his hand for Dolores to ‘serve’ him.

Coral looked at both of them and her smile became very radiant and her wrinkles deepened as she
smiled. They look more and more like a married couple, she thought.

Randolph stood up and felt helpless. He didn’t expect that Dolores and Matthew’s relationship to be
this good. Even now he still didn’t think that Dolores was that pretty for Matthew to take a liking for her.

Dolores hanged up Matthew’s jacket, walked over to him, and said nonchalantly, “Are you here for
something?”

Randolph just realized that she had not addressed him as “father” since she came back. She kept
referring to him as “You”. Did she bear the grudge of him sending her overseas?

“Lola…” Randolph hesitated before saying. He was about to lose everything and perhaps even
imprisoned. Will he even bother about his dignity now?



Dolores sat beside Matthew as she knew that she had to put up a show in front of Randolph to let him
see that her relationship with Matthew was very good.

“The last time I didn’t bring all of your things. This was the present given to you by your mother. I
brought it over especially for you…”

“Say what you need. I don’t think that you came simply to bring me these things out of your fatherly
love.”
