“Shannon, you don’t have any evidence against me. As a lawyer, isn’t evidence the most important thing? If you dare to say such things to me again in the future, I’ll definitely sue you for defamation.” Janice walked past
Shannon, preparing to go to her father’s ward.

Shannon turned around and looked at Janice’s figure. The way Janice spoke proved that she was feeling guilty.

“Janice Yard! I’d never thought about taking revenge. I just want to live a peaceful life. In order to do so, I even escaped to another city. However, you didn’t let me off, and even made numerous attempts to murder me.
And now, I won’t let you off,” Shannon announced coldly to Janice’s figure.

Janice walked quickly towards her father’s ward. She couldn’t reconcile the current Shannon with the previous Shannon, who had been sobbing pitifully on the floor.

What happened between Max and Shannon that night? Were they really together?

Janice’s mind was in a mess. She had been humiliated and chased out of bed by Max this morning, and just as she bumped into Shannon soon after. What an unlucky day it was for her.
Shannon sat on a bench in the corridor, trying her best to suppress her trembling.

It was said that Janice was gentle and virtuous. Since she was also the daughter of a wealthy family, she was a perfect match for Max.

Only she knew that this woman was even more vicious than a venomous snake.

Max was also a big fool. How could he have fallen in love with such a disgusting woman?

No, they were indeed a couple. They had caused the death of her child together.

“Shannon, are you alright? What’s wrong?” When Matthew returned, he saw Shannon trembling on the chair with tears streaming down her face.

Shannon finally regained her senses when she saw Matthew. She reached out and grabbed the corner of his shirt tightly, trying her best to recover quickly.

“What’s wrong with you? Don’t be afraid. I’m here. I’ll always protect you.” Matthew hugged Shannon gently.

It was a hot summer day, but Shannon actually felt cold all over. Matthew felt worried.

“Don’t be afraid. I’ll get a doctor.” Matthew was about to turn around when Shannon pulled him back.

All these years, whenever she thought about the events in the past, she would lose her rationality. It was as though she was in an icy prison, and there wasn’t a trace of warmth in her body.
“I’m fine. I’ll get over it soon,” Shannon said softly.

Matthew looked at Shannon. Her face was terrifyingly pale, and her forehead was covered in sweat.

“Shannon, can you stop thinking about those sad things? Let’s start afresh. I’ll protect you, alright?” Matthew held Shannon’s hand, his clear eyes filled with sincerity.

Tears fell from Shannon’s eyes. He was always so warm.

“Shannon, give me a chance. Give yourself a chance too. Let me take your heart away from that dark and cold place, alright?” Matthew confessed to Shannon once more.

Shannon smiled bitterly. Was Matthew trying to redeem her? However, there was no one in this world who could redeem someone else. She couldn’t, and neither could Matthew.

“Shannon, can you trust me? I really love you. Trust me, I’ll respect you, love you, and protect you from now on. I won’t let you suffer anymore. Just give it a try, give us a try. Let’s give each other a chance, even if it’s
just to console ourselves!” Matthew’s gaze was extremely sincere and his tone was anxious.

His heart ached when he saw Shannon torturing herself like this.

Shannon looked at Matthew, who was kneeling on the ground. If she had chosen this man from the start, would she be living a peaceful life with a warm family now?

“Shannon, you can’t do this anymore. Let me accompany you, alright?” Matthew hugged Shannon.

He felt like a ray of sunlight. If it was said that she had been living in hell for the past three years, Matthew would be the one who was always under the sun. Or rather, he was the sun.
In her despair, Shannon looked at the ray of light in front of her. She slowly raised her arm. Perhaps he was right. She should give it a try. Maybe she could really escape from hell.
“Matthew, I’m willing to try, but if…”

“There are no ifs. Trust me, and trust yourself. If I really can’t become your light, then you’ll know who can become that light.” Matthew was extremely happy when he heard Shannon’s words.
Shannon looked at the man in front of her, a warm feeling gradually rising in her body.

“Thank you for coming to save me when my heart was severely hurt.” Shannon leaned into Matthew’s arms.

Forget it. Life was too hard and bitter. She should find something sweet.

Matthew was as happy as a child. He had loved her for so many years, and now he could finally do something for her.

“Shannon, Jason called me to ask about the case. What should I tell him?” Tasha came out to look for Shannon after receiving the call.

Shannon looked up. How could she have forgotten something so important?

“You should hurry back to the ward, I’ll contact him.” Shannon helped Tasha back to the ward.

She turned around and called Jason, telling him that her law firm was closed temporarily. She also introduced Finn to Jason, so that he could take over the case.

She had a feeling that Finn had the ability to take on the case, and he would want to take it too.

After settling everything, Shannon went to look for a new place to stay. Matthew wanted Shannon to stay with him, but Shannon felt that even if they had gotten together, she couldn’t just move into his house
immediately.

However, she couldn’t stay in her old home anymore. She was terrified of that place.

Matthew helped Shannon to move into her new home. “Shannon, I’ve already moved most of your things in. I’ve also installed an electronic screen on the door over here. Once the doorbell rings, you’ll be able to see
who’s outside. Moreover, there’s only one resident on each floor, and the elevator can only be operated through facial recognition. You don’t have to worry about safety anymore.”

He meticulously prepared everything for Shannon. Shannon sat on the sofa and watched Matthew work.

She suddenly recalled those warm moments that she had seen on television in the past. The mistress of the house cooked, and the man did the hard work in the house. These were the moments that she had yearned
for since she was young.

ow that this moment had truly appeared, her heart still felt empty.

it turned out that those seemingly warm moments might not necessarily be genuine warmth.

“Have a drink. You’ve been busy the entire afternoon. I’ll just hire someone to do these things. You haven’t been to the office for the past few days, so you must be very busy.” Shannon got up and poured a glass of water
for Matthew.

She was suddenly touched to see him drenched in sweat from helping her.
Matthew smiled warmly. To be able to furnish a new home for her was something he didn’t even dare to think about in the past.

“You don’t have to worry about this. Go and sit down. I’ll bring you out for some good food later.” Matthew drank some water and continued working..
