Accidenttal One Night Stand with My Aloof Uncle-Chapter 85: Wishing to Offer the Entire Universe with Both Hands
Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Wishing to Offer the Entire Universe with Both Hands
"Aren’t you injured too? Did you take care of your wound?" Chloe Grant pressed.
She was suddenly blind, but she hadn’t suddenly forgotten.
Even though last night’s situation was chaotic, Chloe Grant heard through her ears that he also had a stab wound on his back like hers, possibly even worse.
"I took care of it."
Perhaps due to Chloe Grant’s concern, Matthew Morgan’s initially not-so-good expression eased, and his tone turned incredibly gentle.
Chloe Grant breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as you’re okay..."
"You..."
"Call him Uncle Morgan."
Chloe Grant was about to speak, but the other party domineeringly ordered her, causing her heart to skip a beat in surprise.
This was indeed Matthew Morgan’s style!
"Oh... Uncle Morgan." She obediently changed her words.
Suddenly, she felt a bit self-mocking, wondering why she wanted Lucas to be the one saving and taking care of her.
Matthew Morgan patted her head.
He knew that she might mistake him for Lucas because he had never been this gentle or easy to talk to her before.
In her eyes, he was a strict, intimidating elder.
Her fear of him couldn’t be more obvious.
But...
Chloe, I never wanted you to fear me, I just hoped you’d be well.
Matthew Morgan crouched down, arranging the stray hairs on Chloe Grant’s forehead.
She couldn’t see anything now, and naturally couldn’t see the deep affection in Matthew Morgan’s eyes, a love that wished to offer the entire universe with both hands.
Yet she...
Never understood.
"Uncle Morgan..." Chloe Grant lowered her head, hesitated a bit, then said, "I want to call my mom..."
She had wanted to contact her parents yesterday, but had held back; now she couldn’t help it...
"Okay, I’ll dial for you." Matthew Morgan withdrew his gaze, took Chloe Grant’s phone, "Unlock code."
"559520," Chloe Grant answered without thinking.
Matthew Morgan’s fingers paused noticeably for a moment—the next second he quickly entered the code, accessed the phone’s home screen, and then dialed Chloe Grant’s mother’s number.
Matthew Morgan pressed speakerphone, "Hello?"
From the phone came Chloe Grant’s mother’s slightly weary voice, causing Chloe’s nose to tingle with emotion.
"Mom, it’s me, Chloe..."
"Yes, I know. Do you need something?" Her mother’s attitude was evidently somewhat cold.
Chloe Grant had prepared a ton of words, but at this moment, she felt as if she had been doused with cold water, unable to say anything.
Mom is still so cold...
"Chloe?" Over there, seeing Chloe Grant not responding, her mother reminded her, "I’m very busy right now, say what you need to quickly..."
As if realizing she was being too harsh, her mother added, "It’s the busiest time at the store right now."
"It’s nothing, I just miss you. Since you’re busy, go ahead." Chloe Grant smiled, holding back her tears, "Well then, goodbye, Mom."
She acted nonchalant, but inside, she was terribly sad.
"Are you really okay?" Her mother seemed a bit uneasy.
Chloe Grant hurriedly shook her head, then realized her mother couldn’t see her, so she said, "Really, nothing’s wrong. I just wanted to talk with you, but since you’re busy, I won’t disturb you. Mom, give Chloe a call when you have time."
She said sensibly.
Her mother was silent for a while, finally replying, "Alright, take good care of yourself."
"Mom, you too, don’t overwork yourself."
"Okay."
After finishing the call with her mother, Chloe Grant seemed very downcast.
She tried hard not to cry, but her tears still fell uncontrollably...
