Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 823: I’ll Stay Here and Watch Over You

But Scarlett Yates believes in the soul, and the body that dies is merely a shell.

Matthew Saxon just found her words amusing, but he thought for a moment before saying, "What are you afraid of? If we are to die, we’ll die together."

"But I don’t want to die." Scarlett blinked, her eyes slightly red as she looked at him. "I haven’t lived enough yet, and recently the hospital was nominating for the Excellent Nurse award. I was nominated, and maybe I could even win it."

If she died now, she would die with regrets.

She was truly afraid of death.

The mere mention of the word death made her shudder.

Matthew Saxon wanted to comfort her, but he didn’t know what to say.

He’d said everything he should, but she insisted they would die, leaving him helpless.

He couldn’t possibly tell her that all of this was part of a plan he had set up in advance and that someone would soon come to rescue them.

This foolish woman, she had no idea, even if he were to die, she wouldn’t.

Maxwell Saxon wouldn’t be willing to kill her.

But these were words he couldn’t say to her.

There was probably surveillance set up in this room; every move and word they made were being watched.

"Stop overthinking, go get some sleep, and when you wake up, everything will be better." After a moment of silence, Matthew Saxon lifted her and carried her to the bed, gently laying her down.

He pulled up the thin blanket over her and gently stroked her head: "Sleep."

Scarlett was surprisingly obedient.

She didn’t show any resistance to his actions.

Matthew Saxon just assumed she was truly frightened.

Thinking this, he felt even more tenderness towards her, softening his voice even more: "I’ll stay here with you."

Mentally, Scarlett was tired, but she couldn’t fall asleep.

Thinking she might soon die, she no longer hid her feelings. She shed her cold exterior and, like a gentle lamb, blinked and looked tenderly at Matthew Saxon: "Aren’t you going to sleep?"

Matthew Saxon was momentarily taken aback.

He curved his lips into a slightly mischievous smile and raised an eyebrow: "There’s only one bed in this room..."

The sofa was too short and narrow for his height; there was no way he could lie on it comfortably.

And the only bed in the room was already occupied by Scarlett.

Scarlett hesitated for just a few seconds before scooting over and patting the space beside her: "You can sleep here."

Matthew Saxon’s expression slightly shifted, his long phoenix eyes squinting as he looked down at her.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, a flicker of fire in his captivating gaze, and his thin lips lifted into a low chuckle: "Are you sure you want me to sleep here?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Scarlett’s face felt a little warm.

She had only shared a bed with Matthew Saxon once before, and that was unknowingly.

The memory of that night wasn’t pleasant, and she had broken up with Matthew Saxon afterward.

This wasn’t going to be a happy atmosphere either.

Whether they would survive till tomorrow was still uncertain.

But precisely because of this, she let go of the barriers in her heart, and the grievances between Autumn Spencer and Naomi Dougla no longer bothered her.

No matter who was right or wrong back then, it had nothing to do with her now.

At this moment, she just wanted to follow her heart.

She lifted her flushed face and patted the space beside her again: "There’s only one bed in the room, if you want to sleep on the floor, I have no objections."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the bed sink significantly.

Matthew Saxon moved quickly. By the time he got onto the bed, his jacket was already off.
