A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 538

\"No, Mr. Boyd.\"\nMatilda's voice choked, clearly forcing herself to stay composed, but she still called out to him, \"If you want to see your son, I have nothing to say.\"\nYvan was stunned.\n\"Logan is your child. I can never deny that fact in my life.\"\nMatilda clung to the blanket around her as if it was a lifeline. Beyond that, she seemed to have nothing else to hold onto for support.\n\"If you want to see your son, I can't stop you. I understand that, but I'm still afraid...\"\nMatilda's shoulders trembled slightly, \"I'm scared that after Logan gets close to you, I'll lose my only son...\"\nYvan felt as if a chunk of his heart had been hollowed out, leaving him bleeding.\nWith a hoarse voice, the man stood up, \"I understand. I won't come again.\"\n\"Wait.\"\nThis was the first time Matilda had tried to keep Yvan.\nLater, the woman closed her eyes, leaning back against the pillow, \"Your father... he met with me privately.\"\nYvan was somewhat astonished, \"When... when did this happen?\"\n\"A while back, I was attending a conference with a friend, and your father was there.\" Matilda recalled the past with evident fear, but she had to speak, she had no choice, \"Noel apologized on your behalf, admitted your mistakes to me, and even promised to hold a press conference to clear my name.\"\nNo wonder Noel supported Yvan in his actions. It turns out he felt the same.\nYvan's Adam's apple bobbed, \"Did he... say anything else?\"\n\"About Logan's future.\"\nMatilda opened her eyes, touching Logan's face beside her, \"Yvan, after Logan turns ten, take him with you.\"\nThese words shocked all three people in the room!\nLogan grabbed Matilda's hand, his eyes immediately reddening, \"Mommy, do you not want me anymore? I won't meet Mr. Boyd secretly again. Please don't leave me with him, Mommy...\"\nMatilda smiled through tears, \"I never thought of giving you to someone else, Logan. You're my life.\"\nHer hand, trembling as it touched Logan's face, \"But Logan... with Yvan, you'd have a better life.\"\nLogan's voice trembled, \"Mommy, no matter what, I don't want to leave you... I don't want to...\"\nYvan awkwardly turned away.\n\"I didn't say you couldn't come back. Just stay with Yvan, and when you miss me, come visit. Let him be responsible for you, go with him to learn all the knowledge and skills...\" Matilda shook her head, \"I've come to terms with it. I don't have the wealth and power that Yvan has. With him, you'll have a better future.\"\n\"I don't want a future, I just want Mommy... I just want Mommy...\"\nLogan cried out, clinging tightly to Matilda's hand. For Matilda, handing Logan over to Yvan felt like tearing a piece of her own flesh.\nBut she had to admit, her son, her increasingly smart son, would thrive best with Yvan. She couldn't provide him with a perfect environment; sometimes, she even needed him to take care of her.\nYvan, seeing Logan cry like this, spoke in a deep voice, \"Let's wait till he's ten, then let him choose.\"\nAs Yvan left, Logan was still crying, shouting, \"Mommy, don't abandon me, I was wrong, I'll be good, don't send me away...\"
