Chapter 33 Addicted To Her
Elizabeth gritted her teeth and calmed herself down. Then she began to clean up Matthew’s room.
She put the books on the desk back onto the bookshelf and the magazines on the floor back. into the magazine rack.
Next, she made his bed and hung all the cleaned laundry in the walk-in closet.
Later on, the room became spotless. Seeing the minimalist room become clean and tidy, she
thought the room looked even colder now than before.
After having a cry, she felt her entire body was more relaxed now. There’s indeed no use
being too tense. Sometimes, it’s good to cry it out.
Then, Elizabeth went downstairs. She thought he was in the living room, but he was not
there.
Also, he had only taken a few sips of the hangover remedy. Seeing that, she brought the bowl
into the kitchen, washed it, and put it back in the cupboard.
She was a principled woman. Since she had signed the IOU, then she would definitely pay
back her debt.
Before leaving, she sent him a message: Mr. Hilton, I’ve tidied up the room. I’ll come over at
six o’clock tomorrow night to make dinner.
Meanwhile, Matthew was smoking a cigarette on the rooftop while enjoying the cool
breeze.
He watched her get into the silver Carter and drive away slowly from the yard, Only after the
gate closed did he regain his senses and raised a hand to his lips.
He could still feel the sweet taste of her in his mouth. Moreover, he seemed to be addicted to
her sweetness now.

The next day was a Saturday, so the three children did not have to go to school.
Thus, Elizabeth took them to the hospital with her. Cody brought a lunchbox with her, as she
had prepared some nutritious food for Jessica and Pearl.
When they arrived at the hospital, Elizabeth was carrying fruits and milk while the three
children were all holding small gifts they wanted to give to Pearl.
Abby asked, “When is Pearl coming back to class? She used to be my best friend!”
Pearl used to be in the same kindergarten with them and was even in the same class as Abby
when they were in the lower grades. They were so close to each other that even though they
went to school together every day, they still had to talk on the phone after school.
Arthur responded, “Pearl’s sick. So, she’ll come back to school when she’s recovered.”
Antony nodded slightly. “You can give her the doll later. She’ll feel as if you’re
accompanying her in the hospital.”
Abby’s big eyes flickered. Even though she knew Pearl was sick, she did not understand why
Pearl had to stay in the hospital for so long.
Abby had fallen ill before. However, she had only stayed in the hospital for a few days at

“Ms. Elliott, thank you for making us delicious food every time you come.”
Cody smiled upon hearing those words. “Don’t mention it. You and Lizzy are good friends,

Hearing Cody’s words, Jessica sighed as she looked at Pearl, who was happy to be
surrounded by the three children.
“Still waiting for the bone marrow. The surgery can be done as soon as there is a match.”
Cody nodded. “I’ll go feed Pearl some soup. She’s just too thin, and this

With that, Cody joined the three children by Pearl’s side and fed Pearl the soup.
Then, Elizabeth and Jessica went to the rest area with the lunchbox. Jessica started to eat
while Elizabeth, who was sitting opposite her, held a cup of hot water in her hand.
Looking at the parents in the hospital, Elizabeth shook her head helplessly. The greatest blessing in life is that one’s whole family
is healthy. Every time I come here and see these scenes,
I just feel so upset. I wish nobody ever gets sick in this world.
Suddenly, the incident that happened last night flashed through her mind. She had almost
