Before Sasha came, she had already heard about Matthew's condition and had prepared herself for it. That was why she could not resist mocking Veronica when she first saw her.
However, when she came close and saw Matthew's appearance, she finally understood what Veronica was feeling earlier.
"And who are you?"
Sadie, who had been standing behind Matthew, stared at Sasha doubtfully. All at once, she was overwhelmed with curiosity regarding Matthew's true identity.
Sasha ignored Sadie. Instead, her manicured fingers reached out and felt Matthew's empty left sleeve.
Instantly, her tears began to flow. "How could this happen? Matt, aren't you supposed to be invincible? Why did you let yourself end up like this?"
Her hoarse voice trembled as it spoke.
Everyone's hearts were heavy as they took it all in. Veronica's feelings were complicated as well.
After a pause, she said to Sadie, "Thank you for saving my husband. I've been searching for him for three months now. Since he's still alive, he should come home with me."
Regardless of Matthew's current state, he was still her husband. She wanted to take him back to Bloomstead and get him treated there.
Sadie shook her head. "How do I know if you people are good or bad? He's lost his memory now and doesn't recognize any one of you. I won't let you guys take him away."
"Give him to me. I'll give you 150,000," Sasha said to Sadie as she wiped her tears.
Then, she turned to Veronica. "What makes you think you still have the right to be with him? You're the reason why he ended up like this. You can't protect him, Veronica. You'll only cause him to get hurt again. Since he has lost his memory, he should just stay with me forever. That'll be safer for him."
Sasha's love for Matthew was pure and genuine. All she wanted was to be with him.
Even though his looks were ruined, she didn't mind at all.
Her words were like daggers that stabbed right through Veronica's heart.
They echoed in her head and gutted her soul.
