A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 743

At that moment, Yvan felt as if he'd been brutally crucified, nails piercing through, shattering bones, his entire being scorched.

Trembling, he no longer had the strength to hold onto the pen in his hand.

The bloody past, narrated from an observer's perspective by Carl, was something Yvan, having been a principal player at the time, found almost unbearable to confront.

Carl noticed Yvan's eyes redden.

Since his amnesia, Yvan had changed quite a bit, becoming more defiant and unruly, yet his innate pride remained unaltered. Perhaps it had been too long since he'd felt such heart-wrenching pain, so intense that Yvan felt he might not endure it.

"Ella became comatose under mysterious circumstances, while Miss Rachel was sent by you to Plum Resort half a year ago for pressuring Matilda and her son alongside Opal, leading to the kidnapping incident at Plum Resort. That was also the spark for your near-death experience six months ago."

Yvan had thought his treatment of Matilda was merely harsh words, never imagining the depth of his wrongdoing.

Now he realized, he was truly a sinner deserving of death.

The slap Matilda had given him upon their reunion in Australia was, in retrospect, light.

"Mr. Boyd…"

Seeing such vivid emotional turmoil in Yvan, Carl suddenly felt a twinge of heartache.

Yvan had changed, from his previous stoic self to a man of flesh and blood.

He used to keep silent even as the world crumbled, even if his heart was bursting with love, he would lash out with words meant to wound. But now, Yvan could feel pain, fear, sorrow, and regret, like any other soul struggling in the world without solace.

But what about Matilda?

Matilda was no longer the woman who would cry and make a fuss. She had become another Yvan, never looking back no matter how deep the love, not even attempting to hold on.
