A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 197

Adrian thought it was miraculous that Logan had managed to find him.

When someone barged into his office, clutching a battered and soaking-wet kid, Adrian was taken aback. "Holy smokes, isn't that the little rascal from the Boyd family? What the heck happened to him?"

Without time to ponder, Adrian had his staff rush the boy to the hospital, but all the way there, Logan clung to the hem of Adrian's coat, gripping it tightly, his eyes barely open, murmuring faintly, "Don't... don't tell Mr. Boyd..."

He had just escaped from that place, and he was never going back.

Looking at the kid curled up in his arms, Adrian felt as protective as if his own son had been bullied. He hurried Logan to the hospital, and after his surgery, he made sure the boy was settled into the pediatric ward.

Keaton, clad in his white lab coat, gave Adrian a brief rundown. "You've been quite the Good Samaritan lately—picking up Matilda today, and Logan tomorrow. Why don't you just take the mother and son in to live with you?"

Adrian retorted, "And have Willow and Matilda at each other's throats? No thanks."

Keaton quipped, "Somehow, I think you'd side with Matilda even if they did."

"No way!" Adrian rolled his eyes. "How is Logan?"

"His wounds are deep, no idea what he's been through. His lungs had water in them too, nearly drowned. Was he kidnapped or something?" Keaton casually threw out the question, and Adrian's gaze darkened as if he had suddenly made a connection, "Anyway, it's got Yvan's fingerprints all over it."

Keaton laughed, "Man, you've got guts, raiding Yvan's turf. If he finds out, he'll probably be coming after you with a butcher knife."

Adrian sprawled in Keaton's office, throwing a leg carelessly over the desk. "I bet Matilda doesn't even know about this yet."

"Are you gonna tell her?" Keaton knew the story between Matilda and Yvan was complicated, which was probably why little Logan had ended up in such a state without Matilda's knowledge.

"Ah, poor kid." Adrian mused for a moment, "Let's keep him in the hospital for now. I'll cover the bills."
