A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 740

Yvan frowned, unable to put his finger on it, but something about the situation just felt off.

Rachel, oblivious to Yvan's discomfort, wheeled herself closer, her slender fingers clutching at the hem of Yvan's shirt as she looked up at him with effort. "Yvan, it's really you. You're actually back..."

Her voice started to tremble, teetering on the edge of tears, as if overwhelmed by joy. Soon, her eyes reddened. "At first, I couldn't believe it. When you had that accident six months ago, I was beside myself with worry. Yvan, I'm so relieved you're back. I've been ill recently, which is why I couldn't come to see you sooner. As soon as I got better, I came straight here."

Her words were heavy with implication, suggesting that even in sickness, Yvan was on her mind, and she had rushed over as soon as her health allowed, showing how much she cared about him, regardless of her own condition.

However, Yvan, suffering from amnesia, couldn't make heads or tails of the woman suddenly showering him with attention.

Adopting the cold, detached demeanor that the old Yvan was known for, he turned to Carl, "Who is this?"

Rachel's act of sorrow froze on her face.

Carl barely contained his laughter, managing to say with a straight face, "That's Miss Rachel."

Oh, Rachel.

Forgotten. Unrecognized.

Yvan continued bluntly, "What does she want from me?"

Carl mimicked the aloof tone of his boss, shaking his head, "No idea."

No idea.

Then what's this woman doing here, bothering him if there's no particular reason? Seeing her in a wheelchair, Yvan mused she should just stay put instead of roaming around. What was she up to, trying to pull a fast one?
