A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 576

Opal's eyes were wide with fear. "Rachel, you're bleeding. Does it hurt? Let me take a look; I'll take you downstairs to see the doctor..."

The onlookers watched the seemingly inseparable duo with nothing but sneers.

When Keaton burst in, having heard there was trouble again in Matilda's room, he thought if Yvan found out, he might as well chase him down with a knife. So, he rushed to check the situation, only to find Rachel and Opal stirring up trouble again!

Why on earth were these two women always picking on Matilda? Didn't they realize this would only make Yvan loathe them more?

As Keaton took control of the situation, Matilda sat on the bed, pale as a ghost but with eyes that sparkled strangely. Logan stood to one side, his eyes red with anger. Upon seeing Keaton enter, he whimpered, "Keaton."

Oh boy, that sound shattered Keaton's heart.

He squatted down, gently caressing Logan's face, "Did they hit you again?"

Again.

The crowd around them realized this wasn't the first time this crew had come in to bully them. But, luck was on their side this time; their friend was there and managed to give the bullies a piece of their mind.

Isn't this karma at its finest? They had it coming!

Hearing Keaton, Logan's voice trembled even more, "They called me names and said hitting me was what I deserved. I don't even know what I did wrong... I just wanted to stop them because they came in looking to bully my mommy..."

Listen to this young boy! His words, so filled with pain, enduring violence yet still wanting to protect his mother. What a brave little guy!

The crowd murmured in admiration, "Shamelessness seems to be the trend these days."

"Exactly. You see an old lady and someone in a wheelchair, thinking they're kindhearted, but no. It’s often those kinds who harbor the darkest hearts!"

"I remember them! They made trouble before, even caused that poor boy to bleed from his ear! How mercilessly they must've struck. How is that old hag still around?"
