"Isn't that Young Master Matthew? So, he's still alive after all?"
"Yeah, the news about him being alive started trending on Twitter yesterday, but I didn't just believe it."
"We should believe it now that we've seen it with our own eyes."
"Yeah, yeah. We haven't seen the Young Master in a while, and he looks even more handsome."
"But it was rumored that he lost an arm and his eyesight. How did he return unscathed after a few months?"
"Well, perhaps he cured the blindness and broken leg and got a prosthetic arm."
"Could be."
…
There was a lot of buzz online about how Matthew was still alive. Due to the fact that there was only one photo and video of him, the netizens could only confirm that he was indeed alive but could not determine the extent of his arm injury. However, they did not have a lot to say about it.
However, the servants at the Kings Residence had seen how severely injured Matthew was. So naturally, they were all surprised when they saw him up and about again.
"Grandma." Veronica walked up to Old Mrs. Kings and slowly crouched down in front of her. She then asked softly, "Do you still remember me?"
Matthew slowly approached his grandmother and greeted her softly, "Grandma." At that moment, he felt a twinge of remorse and a dryness in his throat that he could not get rid of.
Old Mrs. Kings donned a blue and white cheongsam, and her short silver curls added to her elegant demeanor as she sat upright. Yet, her vacant gaze and lack of makeup gave away her listlessness and haggard appearance.
"W-Who are you?" Old Mrs. Kings gazed up at the couple and shook her head instantly. "I don't recognize you." Her words pierced through Veronica's heart, causing a sudden pang in her heart as her eyes reddened.
