When Chloe Grant woke up, she was a bit dazed.
She felt a warmth on her right cheek and was dumbfounded for almost a minute before realizing she was lying on Matthew Morgan’s thigh!
She quickly got up, her short hair was messy and fluffy, making her face look particularly small.
Meanwhile, the events before she slept came flooding back into Chloe Grant’s mind.
"To remove the chip, surgery is needed, and the wound needs to be stitched, so I had you drink some water with anesthetic beforehand."
Sitting next to her, Matthew Morgan adjusted his position and explained calmly.
With those words, Chloe Grant understood everything.
She raised her hand, looking at her wrist wrapped in gauze.
The gauze was wrapped well, very neatly.
"Uncle Morgan, did you call a doctor?" Chloe Grant couldn’t help but ask.
Uncle Morgan’s not trained in medicine, so how could he possibly...
"No, I did it," Matthew Morgan answered.
Chloe Grant was astonished, her eyes widened, like little grapes, staring at the beautifully bandaged injury, unable to believe it was Matthew Morgan’s work.
"How do you know how to do this..."
"There are many things I know, but you just don’t know about them."
Matthew Morgan reached out, ruffling Chloe Grant’s hair, a slight smile on his lips.
This action caused Chloe, who was staring at the bandage, to freeze for a moment, and then in the next second...
She instinctively flinched a little.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat delicate, and Chloe Grant immediately stood up, saying, "I’m fine now, Uncle Morgan, really thank you, if... if anything happens because of me, please tell me, I..."
She paused, dejectedly ruffling her short hair, "I know I’m quite useless, I can’t help you with your matters, but if you need anything I can do, I’ll definitely do it!"
Matthew Morgan lowered his hand, leaning slightly against the back of the sofa, "Then... stay by my side."
"What?" Chloe Grant was taken aback.
Matthew Morgan stood up, standing in front of Chloe Grant, looking down, "Chloe, stay by my side."
He gazed at her earnestly, and Chloe Grant didn’t dare meet his gaze, only feeling her heart starting to race wildly again.
Chloe Grant instinctively wanted to avoid him, only to find the sofa behind her and Matthew Morgan in front... there was no retreat.
"Uncle, Uncle Morgan, you, you..."
She was so flustered she didn’t know how to respond.
What did he mean by this?
"This matter isn’t over yet, stay with me for the time being, I’ll take you wherever I go," Matthew Morgan added.
Chloe Grant’s previously panicked emotions, due to these words, unconsciously eased a little.
But then, a second later, she grew tense again...
"The chip has been removed, the issue is resolved, right... I’ll just stay at school, I won’t come out, I..."
Matthew Morgan silently observed her series of expressions.
From nervousness to relaxation, to frowning... all so clear.
After a moment, he directly stated, "Starting tomorrow, I’ll take you to school and pick you up after class, until the danger is over."
That usual authoritative explanation.
Chloe Grant wanted to retort, but Matthew Morgan had already placed a hand on her shoulder, "If you’re disobedient, you’ll cause me trouble, I don’t want things to happen again, understand?"
Chloe Grant was thoroughly silenced.
Finally, she lowered her head, like a child admitting a mistake, softly replied, "Got it."
Matthew Morgan glanced at her, something flickering in his eyes, but ultimately said nothing and left the room.
