356.Chapter 356 In the end. Matthew stubbornly refused to sign the annulment papers. Diana didn't want to waste any more targuing with him. She knew it was pointless and didn't want to delay her reunion with Liza, so she left with Eliza and headed straight back to the nunnery Matthew stood in place, watching Diana walk away without even glancing back, taking Eliza with her. A wave of frustration and grievance surged in his chest.

Matthew heard a fit of coughing nearby. Turning his head, he saw Benedict clutching his mouth, his body shaking with violent coughs "Benedict, what's going on? Why are you coughing so badly? Benedict?" Matthew rushed, intending to pat Benedict's back. But before he could, Benedict let out a retching sound, and blood spilled from his mouth. "Benedict, what's happening to you? Someone, get the doctor, hurry!" Matthew's eyes widened in shock as he saw the blood staining Benedict's hands. His heart pounded, and he shouted urgently for help But Benedict weakly grabbed his hand. His face was as pale as a sheet. He shook his head. "No. I don't need a doctor." "No need for a doctor? Are you out of your mind? You just coughed up blood! What, are you trying to kill yourself?" Benedict gave a faint, bitter smile. "If it ends like that, maybe it wouldn't be so bad." "Stop talking nonsense, Benedict!" Matthew's expression stiffened, and he immediately turned to Manson, barking out an order, "Go get the doctor. Now!" "Benedict, you're sick, and you didn't even tell me? Father and Sophie aren't home, and Anthony can't take care of you. Who's supposed to look after you if you don't tell me?" Benedict leaned against Matthew for support, barely managing to stay upright. Hearing Matthew's words, he chuckled weakly. "Isn't Manson here to take care of me? Besides, you're still under house arrest, remember? "If Diana hadn't thrown a fit, threatening to break in and drag you out herself, I wouldn't have let you out today." Whenever Diana was brought up, Matthew's mood took a nosedive. But hearing Benedict's words, he couldn't help but smirk. "She's just got that fiery streak. Don't let it get to you." Benedict, of course, wouldn't hold anything against Diana, To him, she was just like Eliza, his sister.
Though not related by blood, they'd watched her grow up. And as Matthew's fiancée, she was both a sister-in-law and a little sister in his eyes.
"You need to sit down and talk things out with Diana. And stop treating Eliza so poorly. She's our sister, and Diana is close to her. The worse you treat Eliza, the more determined Diana will be to call off the engagement."

If she hadn't whispered something to Diana to stir up trouble, why else would Diana suddenly return to break off the engagement?" Benedict turned to him. "You're accusing Eliza of meddling, but did you hear her say anything? Or see her do anything?" "No, I didn't hear or see anything... Matthew muttered, sulking
Benedict pressed further, "If you didn't, then what proof do you have that Eliza had caused this mess?"
"I don't have proof, but who else could it be? Matthew replied, his tone full of misplaced confidence.Om "Besides you saw it yourself earlier. Diana treats Eliza so well, but her attitude towardis terrible. It's obvious! If Eliza hadn't said something. wouldn't believe it" Subsorbed
