Chapter 248

a was about to say something when Matteo’s phone rang again.

It was probably a call from Raven. As Matteo walked out of the room to answer the phone, he spoke gently, “The situation isn’t too serious. There’s no need to worry too much…”

After Matteo returned from his call, Isabella had woken up.

Seeing them, she groggily called out, “Dad, Mom.”

Both Freya and Matteo responded in unison, “Mm.”

Perhaps because of the dizziness, Isabella, still lying on the bed, looked at her father, then at her mother. Not long after, she furrowed her little brow in discomfort and fell asleep again.

Concerned not to disturb Isabella’s rest, both Matteo and Freya silently waited for a while. Once Isabella had fallen into a deeper sleep, Matteo finally turned to Freya and asked, “Will you stay?”

Freya didn’t respond, but by remaining seated without moving, she had already conveyed her

stance.

Matteo didn’t press further. He didn’t leave either but sat down on the sofa nearby.

Freya stayed quietly by the bed, leaning against it, and before long, unknowingly drifted to sleep.

When she woke up again, the sky outside had already lightened.

At that moment, she realized she was lying on Isabella’s hospital bed.

Freya was momentarily confused.

Hadn’t she-

She paused and looked over at the sofa.

Matteo was leaning with his hand propped against his face, asleep on the sofa.

Whether he had just woken up or noticed her gaze, he suddenly opened his eyes and met hers.

Freya quickly averted her gaze, not asking whether it was he who had carried her to bed last night.

Matteo didn’t bring it up either.

He uncrossed his legs, stood up, and looked at her. “Are you going home to have breakfast, or will you eat here?”

Freya didn’t respond to his question. She had her own plans.

Seeing that she was still ignoring him, Matteo didn’t get angry, nor did he ask again.

After a while, Isabella woke up.

The doctor came in to do an examination, and the butler, along with Aunt Sara, entered with a food box.

Upon seeing Freya, they both greeted her in unison, “Madam.”

Hearing this address, Freya furrowed her brows but didn’t comment.

The butler and Aunt Sara placed the breakfast on the coffee table.

Matteo had instructed them to bring a portion for Freya as well.

The butler said, “Madam, would you like to come over and have breakfast?”

Freya shook her head and then turned to Isabella, who was eating breakfast. “Mom’s going to take a quick shower and will come back later to see you.”

“Okay.” Isabella, still feeling dizzy, weakly said, “But, Mom, you have to come quickly…”

“Sure.”

Freya grabbed her bag and gave Isabella one last look before turning to leave.

She went home, took a shower, and had some breakfast before heading back to the hospital.

Chapter 248

On her way to the hospital, she called Johnny to update him on Isabella’s situation, saying, “I’ll check on her and might return to the office later this afternoon.”

No matter what, Isabella was still her daughter. After such an incident, it was only right for Freya to care and look after her.

Johnny replied, “Okay.”

Upon arriving at the hospital, Freya entered the room and saw Harry and Levi there.

When Levi saw her, he curled his lip but said nothing.

Harry opened his mouth as though to speak, but-

Since Matteo was there, it wasn’t his place to say anything.

He lowered his gaze and turned to look at Matteo.

Matteo, noticing her arrival, was the first to speak. “You’re here?”

At that moment, Isabella called out, “Mom…”

Freya responded with a simple, “Mm.”

Harry and Levi still had work to attend to, so they didn’t stay for long. After greeting Isabella and giving Freya a look, they left together.

Isabella’s condition wasn’t particularly severe, and with Freya staying to take care of her, it seemed sufficient. Freya thought that Matteo would leave with Harry and the others.

But he didn’t leave. Instead, he remained in the room, staying to accompany Isabella while handling

his work.

Freya didn’t say anything about it.

In the afternoon, after Isabella fell asleep, Freya also rested for a while.

When she woke up, she found the butler in the room.

At this time, she heard Matteo, who was typing away on his keyboard, say to the butler, “Madam is awake. Please bring her the supplements.”

The butler smiled and responded, walking over to her with a bowl of stew.

“Madam, the sir had someone make some supplements for you. Would you like to have a little?”

Freya had just woken up, still groggy. After a moment, she came to her senses and frowned slightly, looking toward Matteo.

It was normal for the butler and Aunt Sara to continue calling her “Madam” since they were used to

1. it.

But him?
