She was attracted to Matthew in the first place because she knows that being a Buchanan's love interest is the road to becoming a main character. Since his accident, she's acted on the principle that spinal cord injuries in Soapland aren't quite the same as broken bones in Real Life- they require grabbing the first plot twist that can lead to a cure and hanging on tight- hence her encouragement of the risky surgery/sue his parents for the right to choose it scenario. If the writers get used to him being a paraplegic, the window of opportunity closes. And he can't die from the surgery, his actor just signed a new contract.

And he can't die from the surgery, his actor just signed a new contract. * Whether she's doing it out of self-interest (she has a better chance of being her generation's main character if she's paired off with Matthew as The Generic Guy on foot than if he's The Woobie in a wheelchair), or out of a genuine desire to help is another matter. * The writers are very fond of Teen Pregnancy storylines, but medical assistance is usually required for a paralyzed male to father a child, which would rule out a High School "accident".
