Chapter 748 The Unavoidable Accident
I quickly pulled her up and had her sit beside me. "I’m his daughter," I said. I don’t even know why I told her that.She was stunned and looked at me in disbelief. She wiped away my tears instinctively.Then, she solemnly assured me, "I’ll tell my brother to save him so he can see you."I embraced the girl. She was truly my lucky star, and I would surely be able to find my father with the siblings’s help.From Anya's words, I could deduce that my father's mind was still clear.We chatted for a while before Atlas finished talking to Loak and returned to our side. Then, he had Cane escort them back.I saw Anya casting reluctant glances at me. Her smile was beautiful and had an exotic charm.I kept watching them until they disappeared from my sight. Atlas said to me indulgently, "I've arranged for them to learn our language. When she can communicate with you, you can take her back to Pleca Park.""Really?" I exclaimed, feeling like I had obtained a precious treasure. "How did you
Chapter 749 Matthew’s Suicide Attempt
Back at Pleca Park, I was almost asleep when a call from Adrian woke me up. I looked at the time. It was one past midnight, so this had to be urgent.I quickly answered the phone, and Adrian, sounding uneasy, informed me, "Ms. Chloe, Matthew has attempted suicide in the detention center.""What?" I exclaimed. "What's going on?""He’s been taken to the hospital for treatment. I'm on my way there now. You..." his tone was probing."Alright, I'm coming over immediately. Which hospital?" I asked while getting out of bed. I felt a slight tremor. Atlas was still in the study.Adrian told me the name of the hospital over the phone, and I quickly hung up, rushing to the dressing room to grab a dress. After putting it on and tidying my hair hastily, I walked out of the room, knocking lightly on the study door. I pushed it open without waiting for a response.Atlas was still on an international video call. He sensed that something was wrong when he saw me all dressed and ready to go. He en
Chapter 750 Excessive Blood Loss
Atlas spoke to the group of doctors, then they quickly entered the emergency room. The officer glanced at Atlas uneasily. He said, “The director of the hospital brought a few specialists with him.”We fell into silence, and I held onto Atlas's hand tightly.About an hour later, the lights in the emergency room went out. I tightened my grip on Atlas's hand, watching the door anxiously.After a while, a doctor emerged and addressed the cops. "We managed to resuscitate him, and he’s currently receiving a blood transfusion. He's oxygen-deprived and still unconscious due to excessive blood loss. His vital signs have returned to normal, but we need to observe him for a while longer. Once he wakes up, it'll be crucial to get his emotions under control."I leaned into Atlas's embrace, gazing at his handsome face, forcing a bitter smile as my nose tingled. Thankfully, he had survived the ordeal. That was good.Atlas responded with a reassuring smile and tightened his hold on my hand. "Don'
Chapter 751 Owed Him in My Past Life
By the time I woke up, it was almost 9 a.m. I stretched my arm out, finding the space next to me empty, but the bed retained some warmth. It seemed that Atlas had been up for a while.I shook my head, feeling a bit lazy. Staying up late was exhausting.But there was no way around it. Matthew was like settling an old score from a past life. Perhaps I owed him something in a previous existence, and now he was coming to collect the debt.I sighed softly, with a sense of resentment. Then I grabbed my phone and dialed Ryan. After informing him of the situation, he said, "You should go to the hospital. I'm already at the office. Don't worry."I lazily replied, "It's great to have you at the company. Otherwise, I'd be in big trouble.""You're just trying to butter me up," he responded impatiently."In that case, I'll hang up." I teased him. "Focus on your work.""Fine, I’m hanging up." He grumbled, "That damn Matthew is causing trouble! Stupid shit.""I agree,” I chuckled.Ryan had
Chapter 752 Not A Real Man
Upon reaching the hospital, I noticed a crowd of cops outside the ward. I snorted, silently cursing at the embarrassing situation. They were making things too obvious.As I approached the door, Adrian emerged from inside."How is he?" I inquired."He's better now. They gave him a sedative," Adrian replied."Is he awake or still sleeping?" I assumed he'd be asleep after being sedated.Adrian whispered, "They gave him a small dose. He’s awake, but he's calm now."Hearing this, I stepped inside.There were two cops in the room, keeping a watchful eye on him. Matthew, with a deathly pale face, turned toward me. When he saw me, he completely broke down, crying like a child.I walked to him, towering over him. I finally said, "What's this? You don’t want to live anymore?"Seeing him cry like this stirred a strange feeling in me. No matter how much hatred there was, when the other person became vulnerable, we still could not bear to see them suffer.I had no remaining emotions for M
Chapter 753 Giant Baby
I didn’t know if he took it to heart, but he stopped crying and fell into deep thought.I was shocked to see him in this state. I wondered if I had been too harsh in what I said. The series of blows he had received were indeed overwhelming for him.Although his actions were infuriating, he was also a vulnerable individual.I eased up a bit, observing his emotions.After a moment, he looked at me. His face remained pale. He seemed much older, and I even doubted if this was the Matthew I used to know, always lively and confident.The person before me now appeared dejected and helpless."Chloe, can I still clear my name? For the projects I supervised, I didn't cut corners or use subpar materials, but for the one in Muborough, I knew nothing about them. It was all Liora framing me." His emotions calmed, and his thoughts became clearer."Then tell the truth to the judge. If you can't explain it the first time, do it a second or third time until you can prove your innocence. That's wh
Chapter 754 The Truth Can Be Harsh Sometimes
He urgently called out to me, "Chloe, I miss Ava."This sentence made me both sad and angry.I turned slowly and looked at Matthew on the bed with a sense of detachment. "Then you need to act like a man even more. Your previous actions have already had a huge impact on her. She's been mocked and beaten in kindergarten, and her injuries haven't healed yet. Reflect on what you've brought to her."I paused for a moment. "You need to be a real man so she can be proud of you one day. You still have a lot to do.”I looked at Atlas, who had been by my side all along. At this moment, I was truly moved. He was my pillar and support. It was this man who carried all the burden for Ava and I."Atlas, let's go," I whispered softly.Atlas nodded, held my hand, and we walked out together. I heard a sobbing sound behind me, followed by loud wailing.The two cops rushed in, afraid that he might do something again.Once outside the ward, I suddenly felt much lighter. During breakfast, I forced a
Chapter 755 Unable to Turn Things Around
I nodded earnestly. I knew that only someone who cared for me genuinely could say such things."I know. After helping him clear his name this time, I will step back completely. I just told him not to seek help from me anymore. I have no obligation to always speak up for him. I’ve decided to stop my involvement no matter what.”Lauren looked at me. "You said that yourself. Remember it. Some things should be done for those who deserve them. But Matthew..."Lauren sneered, shook her head, and said, "He’s not worth it, nor does he deserve it. He and Atlas are worlds apart. There's no comparison, not considering their wealth or status. Just based on character, he is a complete loser. “If you ever feel soft-hearted again, think about all the nonsense he did to you before."I chuckled. I felt like a child she was protecting, and what Lauren said was indeed true.Adrian called me again, informing me that he had applied for a trial postponement. This would give us some extra time to gath
